But this is easier said than done, as both find that their past will not permit them to live a normal life, especially when Ranibai finds out that Raja was the one responsible for forcing her to be a courtesan.

Raja was being chased by the police and to hoodwink whom he landed in a small decorated house where Nirmala was about to be marriage and had already fled leaving begind his wedding apparel and a note in his room. . Raja reads the note, and takes a look at the apparel when there is a knock on the door. Its the police ! But as the door opens the groom is ready. Behind the sehra there is Raja who, to escape the police, has found the situation Godsent. Willy-nilly, he goes through the marriage ceremony and the moment the coast is clear, he flees, leaving behind the note left by the orginal groom and without so much as having seen the face of the bride. . The runway son of the public prosecutor meets with an accident and is killed. Poor Nirmala is blamed for the mishap and is forced to leave the house. Destiny, as always, takes her to to the house of a dancing girl and she becomes a nautch girl. Nirmala is now Rani. . The King and the Queen meets again. This time at the Kotha. Both are not-so-blissfully unware that they are already man and wife. Raja tries to save the honour of Rani and resues her from the lecherous advances of a moneybag. Cupid has a snap and they discover themselves to be deeply love. . Now begins the struggle for social acceptance and emancipation from the dark shadows of the past. Raja and Rani decide to break away from their shady profession and turn over a new leaf. But still there is many slip between the cup and the lip. . Rani helps married man to go home and look after his wife in a new perspective. In sheer gratitude, the bride befriends Rani and promise to help her redeem the past. . Now it is happens that both Raja and Rani are invited by this couple to a pary their house and the hostess lovingly dresses Rani with her own clothes plus a necklace, so as to be fully presentable before the guests.

Raja tells Rani that this will be his last attempt at robbery even if it means breaking his pledge never to steal. They must do this to save their honour. Rani is against the idea. She has another idea namely to approach the money-bag she had turned down and earn the promised Ten Thousand Rupees by doing a mujra for him in private. .
