Don't you realize? I need money

for my expenses, too.

But it's the beginning of the month

and we have to pay everyone.

The milkman, the grocer...

where will we buy food grains from?

Are we to starve?

Shut up, insolent man!

You dare talk to me!

Please! Don't do that!

I'm willing to bear any atrocity.

But give father his due respect.

You can have all the money...

but please don't say

anything to my father!

I was willing to

face anything...

He was my husband and I never

ever took a dig at him.

I never ever stopped him from

doing what he wanted to.

I'm carrying your baby...

- What?!

Who asked you to

bear a child?

It's difficult to maintain

you and your father...

and you're bringing

in the baby too!

A baby is a gift of God.

Shameless b*tch!

ls it a gift from God...

or is it from your lover?

What did you say?

Where do you meet the bastard?

Tell me!

Where do you meet Shyam...

tell me!

Speak up!

For God's sake...

don't accuse me like this.

Don't drag Shyam into this...

This is your baby!

You're trying to shield

your lover, you b*tch!

I'll kill you for this!

Son-in-law!

Please don't hit her!

Hit me instead!

My father couldn't

take all this.

He went looking

for my husband...

and decided the matter

once and for all.

Are you mad?

Gunwantlal is my husband!

We have three children!

Bloody cheat! Swine!

You have ruined

my daughter's life!

I'll have you sent to prison!

You have got to know more

than you should have, old man.

You shouldn't be allowed

to live anymore.

Are you very tired, dad?

Father...!

No, father!

"That which should not have

happened, has occurred"

"You are a widow now"

For my sake, for my happiness...

you went through all this.

What relations do

we share, Radha?

Not even Lord Krishna and Radha

could define the relationship.

All I know is that...

you are perhaps husband to Ruku.

But you're my God.

I have only worshipped you.

But this worship has

charred your life, Radha.

That's not true.

Even the burns you suffer in worship

are soothing.

Congratulations.

It's a baby-girl.

She's coming, sister.

Why are you crying, mummy?

What's the matter?

What happened?

Why's she crying, uncle?

It is just what we feared, dear.

Shyam has defamed our family.

He has really slapped us

in the face.

Has he married her then?

He hasn't just married her.

They even have a baby.

A baby-girl.

He played with the baby and said...

- he'd have his revenge from you!

God Almighty! I had to shut

my ears after that!

But we kept our eyes open...

because we've got to make you

see the truth.

Do you believe us now?

My life is an open

book, Your Honor.

I performed every duty, even in

the face of adversity and insults.

The truth lies before you.

Unexposed.

Truth has always triumphed

in this Temple of Justice.

And I see victory for

the truth from you today.

We have all the evidence of his

second marriage, Your Honor.

We wish to present it in court.

Certainly do so.

But only tomorrow.

Please grant bail for

my client, Mr. Shyam.

Bail is granted.

The court is adjourned

until tomorrow.

Have all the fun tonight,

young man.

Once the court has all the

evidence tomorrow...

you're going to spend all

your nights behind the bars.

I'm famous. For breaking

stones with glasses.

Who is it?

You?!

Please come in!

Sit down.

I'm here to meet Shyam.

Not to sit down.

Please call him.

- Of course.

Mr. Shyam... come on out!

Your happiness and

joys have returned!

Hurry LIP-

Give the baby to me.

She won't let you talk.

I've come to take you back.

- What will you take back now?

I don't want you to lead a life

with an untouchable like Radha.

Don't get me wrong, Shyam...

you mustn't stoop so much.

I'm willing to compromise for you.

Please come back to me.

A woman who is suspicious can

never belong to anyone, Ruku.

I'm willing to concede

every truth.

But I can't bear to see you

living in these conditions.

Why not? It was you who

had said...

that the day I turn an

ordinary fisherman again...

you will want that day.

And look! I am what

you wished I'd be.

You forget, Shyam.

I had also said...

that I would love you

all over again.

Return with me, Shyam.

That's good for you.

The life that you led.

The person that you were.

I am happy with what I am

and where I am, Ruku.

It's your injured pride

that is speaking, Shyam.

Was it your love that

spoke up in court?

All that can be changed in court,

provided you belong to me!

When did I not belong to you?

Ever since you got

married to Radha!

Marry Radha? I?!

What are you talking about?

Don't show me your anger

to hide the truth.

Leave Radha. And come with me.

I'll let you have everything.

Give me something, if you can.

What?

- A divorce. I want a divorce.

I know why you want a divorce!

But I will not give it to you.

Proof of your second marriage will

be presented in court tomorrow!

And you will land

behind bars!

What happened? Why did she

walk out in a huff?

She was here to take you back,

wasn't she?

She asked for a very big price

in exchange for my return.

You should've settled

for any price.

She's your wife, after all.

A wife is considered to be a

man's companion in virtue.

But what does man do if she

herself accuses him of sin?

Shy?

What does this photograph mean?

What kind of a deception is this?

What a lie?!

I'm not worried about

what happens to me, Radha.

But I must fight this

deception and fabrication!

So that this picture does not cast

a slur on you, in court tomorrow.

I'm not more important

than your lives, Shyam.

I'm willing to take any slur.

Now that a falsehood has

donned the guise of reality...

I will give it a status that

it be nothing but the truth.

I will marry you, Radha.

No! Don't say that!

If you do that, the Lord

will be called a cheat!

Never mind that.

Let anything happen.

No! I won't let you do that!

You will really sin

if you do that!

So be it. Before I am punished,

I will anoint your forehead.

I will give this

innocent child my name...

so you can defy society and

lead a respectable life.

My respect lies not

in marrying you.

It lies in uniting you with Rukmini

and in the happiness you find.

A woman keeps her husband.

She does not defeat him in courts.

I'll go and fetch the priest.

No, Shyam... listen to me!

Don't do that!

Mr. Shyam... hurry up!

Come with me.

It is this face that has

changed your destiny.

Come to your senses, Bingo!

Or else...

Keep out of this, madam.

And you will come to your senses

now, Sampat. Take a look at this.

What conspiracy is this?

It's your own doing!

I've turned the tables on you.

You sowed seeds of hatred in Rukmini's

heart, by showing her this picture.

You instigated her into going

to the courts for a divorce.

So Rukmini would inherit

all of Rai Bahadur's wealth...

after which, you would usurp

all the moolah.

But I won't let you swallow

the whole lot all by yourself!
