SSK; WU 9th Sept. '11

Gayatri Devi is shocked when she notices that the stable has caught fire and quickly orders the servants to control the situation. She gets apprehensive when Indumati informs her that she had seen Shobha near the stable some time ago.

Gayatri Devi breathes a sigh of relief when she sees Shobha safe and sound.

In order to save the horse caught amidst flames, a fearless Shobha enters the blazing stable and saves the animal.

Instead of getting praised by Gayatri Devi for her bravery, the queen of Bharuch slaps Shobha. Shobha explains that if she hadn't saved the horse, the animal would die.

Seeing the love between Gayatri Devi and Shobha, Indumati gets angry and jealous and complains to Bhanuman. Bhanuman tells her that they will compel Dadda Chalukya to banish Shobha from his life, once Shobha becomes a greater fighter than Bheemdev.

Bhanuman tells Indumati that he has started executing his second plan against Dadda. Indumati is apprehensive as she cannot understand how she must bring the thought of having her own child in Gayatri Devi's mind.

An innocent Shobha takes a glass full of panchamrit for Kirit Chalukya as she wants her father to recover immediately.

Indumati secretly watches Shobha and deliberately runs into her. When Shobha asks Indumati to give the drink to Kirit, Indumati smartly compels Shobha to give it to her father when he is asleep.

The moment Shobha touches the edge of the glass to Kirit's lips; the disabled father wakes up from his sleep and starts raging at the young princess.

Kirit fumes and is about to slap Shobha when Gayatri Devi stops him. She assures Kirit that Shobha would never enter his chamber hence forth. She asks Shobha to at once leave.

Kirit tells Gayatri Devi that she will never understand his pain and suffering since she is childless. Gayatri Devi is left shocked hearing the statement.
