from Rainager to Barrackpur.

And you have coronated

her on the throne of Rainager.

Sumita is the daughter-in-law

of this royal family.

That is where she won.

But I am not ready to

give up my right.

Madhuri, why are you bent

on breaking up Sumita's home?

I am not so magnanimous to break

my own home to make someone else's

The day I killed this lioness...

That same day,

you saved me from bandits.

And brought me here.

And so that I don't forget this,

you kept this skin here.

To remind me that even I can meet

the same fate as this lioness.

Madhuri, release me.

Let me go.

Why don't you let Sumita go?

Shekhar is waiting for it.

Madam, you are crying?

I am defeated.

I lost everything.

I am really defeated.

I am defeated, Shekhar.

I cannot take it any more.

Come on, Sumi.

Don't talk like that.

Have patience. Be brave.

Everything will be alright.

No, nothing can be alright now.

Now, there will only be ruin.

Do you know, I have seen a streak

of rage in Kumar Bahadur's eyes.

I had seen it earlier too.

I even fear for Sumita now.

What have I done out of jealousy!

Before leaving from here, I will

have to atone for my mistake.

Yes, I will have to atone.

Manu, is Shekhar upstairs?

Yes, madam.

- Then will you do me a favour?

- Sure, madam. Tell me.

Listen.

Madam, Kumar Bahadur is back.

- Remember everything I told you?

- Yes.

And listen,

switch off the hall lights.

Okay.

Don't cry Sumi,

everything happens for good.

For good?

How can I assume that?

Don't cry Sumi,

I am with you.

Look Sumi, everyone doesn't

get happiness in life.

And those who don't, have to win

it with sacrifice and penance.

Have patience. Be brave.

I am always with you.

Don't worry,

everything will be alright.

How long can I spend my

nights staying up crying?

You have

forgotten what I told you.

Remember, Kumar Bahadur

is a helpless man.

He needs support.

He is your husband.

Only you can give

him love and caring.

Mother, give me courage.

Give me courage to bear this.

Tell me mother,

how do I keep him happy?

- Sir!

- What happened?

Madam has suddenly taken ill.

Kumar Bahadur is not home.

If you could please

come and look her up.

Come... but how come

the lights went off suddenly?

Maybe some

problem with the supply.

You go to her room,

I'll inform the office.

Surprised?

It's me.

So this is your illness?

I truly am very sick.

Why have you

called me here like this?

If I hadn't called you like this,

would you have come at all?

- Madam Madhuri!

- Just call me Madhuri.

Just touch and

see how hot my body it.

Disgusting!

You left in a huff that day. You

will have to stay with me today.

What's wrong with you?

Leave me!

No, I won't leave you.

You should feel

ashamed of yourself!

You will have to leave.

I know that.

Because the respect I gave you,

you misused it.

Respect? Whose respect?

Kumar Bahadur's

mistress is not respected.

Don't talk like that.

Such temper on hearing the truth?

Listen Madhuri,

leave this house in a day or two.

You are not worthy of my love.

Love?

You never loved me.

You only love yourself.

You only wanted to fulfil your

desire to have a doll.

I wanted to keep you as the

lady of the house. But...

Who asked you

for this vain honour?

Did you give me

the status of a wife?

No. Because you

have bought me with money.

You wanted to make me

like you wanted me to be.

But you had no patience.

Like your other trophies, even I

was left in a corner of the house.

Did you look at me lovingly

even once in the last 10 years?

Did you notice how much

worthy I made myself of you?

You talk of love?

You don't know to love.

You don't understand a woman's

feelings. You never can.

What you did with

Shekhar today...

...after that, don't you

feel ashamed to say all this?

No! And there is no point

in telling you why I did that.

You won't understand.

You have gone mad with rage.

- Mad? I am mad?

- Yes, you are mad!

Madhuri, you leave right now!

- Where? On the street?

- Wherever, but leave this place.

If you need money,

take it from the cashier.

Alright.

I cannot tell you my new address,

I'll inform you later.

I don't need

to know your address.

But when your game with

the new doll is over...

...when you throw Sumita out,

she will need my address.

Because you have bought

Sumita too. You don't love her.

Great, Chhotu!

You really are brave.

- But atleast hold the gun right.

- What?

- Is Kumar Bahadur home?

- He's gone out with Sumita madam.

- Where did they go suddenly?

- I don't know.

But he said they are going

on a tour around the country.

- When did they go?

- Two days ago.

A day before they left,

even Madhuri madam left.

Madhuri madam left?

Yes, first she left,

then Kumar Bahadur and madam.

- Here's your reward.

- Reward?

Keep it.

You've given me very good news.

This tomb of Chisti.

Any wish you ask for

is fulfilled here.

That is what the people believe.

Emperor Akbar had asked

for a son from him...

...who could be the

heir to the Mughul throne.

I know. And that son was Salim,

who became the Emperor.

Look, so many people

have tied...

...the thread for their

wish fulfillment since then.

- Even I will tie a thread.

- Okay.

Here.

What will you wish for?

Why don't you tell me?

What wish are you making

that you cannot tell me?

Dear Shekhar, I took Sumita

and left on a tour suddenly.

We visited quite a few places.

We are in Agra since 2-3 days.

We are planning to stay here

for a few more days.

You also come here. It's the

full moon night in a few days.

Come before that.

Even Sumita will be happy.

Do come.

Bring along your gun.

Don't forget.

You had once said you haven't

used your gun since many days.

We can take care

of that complain too.

Get up,

it's going to be evening now.

- Come on.

- Will I have to come?

- But where?

- You are strange, Kumar Bahadur.

You said we will

go out in the evening.

Now you don't even want

to step out of the hotel.

Shekhar, I have

visited Agra 13 times.

That's bad.

Unlucky 13!

Sumita has come.

Look Sumita, you two go.

Why delay? You must not

waste the time that is left.

- Won't you come along?

- That is what I am telling him.

- But he refuses to listen.

- But why?

I am not feeling well.

Then we won't go today.

You are not feeling well.

We'll go tomorrow.

No, Shekhar is our guest.

We have called him from so far.

He has taken pains to come here.

We should not disappoint him.

- What are you thinking?

- He is not feeling well.

I am not

enjoying this outing.

You are right,

even I'm not enjoying it.

Sumi, how badly we

misunderstand people.

Now look, it is not at all

difficult to understand Kumar.

So simple,

so open minded.

He is a little whimsical, but...

God! Started

giving your lecture again?

I am not lecturing,

I am telling the truth.

The more I'm getting to know him,

the more I like him.

No one can give me so

much love and understanding.
