Early in the morning, Vishnoo goes to Rani's house, and wakes her up, but she does not want to meet him and sends him away. Then one of her appendages, a servile villager, who charms her with his services comes, and gives her vegetables, and he too knows Vishnoo, and Rani mutters in his ear, a plan she wants him to execute.
At home long faced Radha comes with her sob story to a cockish, Sarju, who notices her disturbed face, and asks her what is bothering her. When she tells him, that she suspects her Aunt Laxmi, Sarju shows his indignation, at accusing his beloved Aunt, whom he finds above board. Taking the side of his aunt, he pounces on Radha, a staged show for the benefit of the viewers, which the creative team of Star Plus has felt fit to bestow on them. He walks off, in a huff, without telling Radha on what work he is going.
Sarju takes his bike, and puts his helmet on, and rides on the rocky village road, to nowhere. Somewhere in the village, his bike stalls, and he tries to fiddle with the mechanisms, but does not know hwat to do. He says to himself, again for the benefit of the viewer, the audience is made to hear him completely, as to what is going on in his mind, as if, the audience is incapable of guessing what it could be. Possibly, the creative team, of Star Plus knows their audience better than me, so I must desist from giving my opinions. As Sarju is thinking aloud, Rani, aka Meera for Sarju comes running as pre arranged with the appendage servile assistant, and with the latter two three other village goons come with sticks to hit Sarju, for eloping with their girl. Again a show for the public is performed, with a stage managed fight, in which Sarju prevails with loud noises and punches and the goons leave them and run, and Sarju is left with a Meera aka Rani, who pretends to lie unconscious alongside his bike, and then again, Sarju announces loudly for the audience to hear, what he is thinking, - he tells the viewers of this serial that his bike has filed, a girl is in need of help, he does not know her address, and does not have time to go to the police etc, etc, and then when the public has learnt in detail his difficulty, a bullock cart conveniently comes on the deserted road, and helps him to take Meera to Sarju's haveli, exactly as Rani had wanted. A show which deserves compliments for the imagination and concept.
In the house there is more drama, with Ramdei being massaged by Phoolmani, and flattered by the crooked Laxmi, and Radha with her sob face, comes to them complaining that she does not know where her husband has gone. Ramdei jumps to the conclusion that the fault is that of Radha, and she goes on lecturing her.
When Sarju brings Meera home, Phoolmani is with Vishnoo, and she sees hem and wants to hid.
