As Atal (Vyom Thakkar) and Krishna Bihari (Ashutosh Kulkarni) head to the King’s
palace, Sudarshan Tripathi (Madhav Abhyankar) stops them, asserting that complaining
to the king will be futile and that no one can harm him. The situation takes a dramatic
turn as Atal mysteriously goes missing. Krishna Devi, aka Neha Joshi, comments, “As Atal and Krishna Bihari return from the King’s palace the next morning, Sudarshan inquires what they have complained to the king. Atal reverts, stating that he has not complained anything against him, and walks away. Tomar promises Sudarshan that he can go to any extent to prove Atal useless. Sudarshan instructs Tomar to take any measures necessary to prevent Atal from succeeding. Meanwhile, Krishna Bihari announces in front of his family that the King has praised and encouraged Atal to persist in his fight for the right. Furious Sushila Bua meets with the girls and their parents, informing them that the daughters purchased Atal’s bag from the kabadiwala and returned it to him. The girls’ parents scold them, but they defend themselves, expressing concern for Atal and his education. Sudarshan arrives and warns them they have no idea who they oppose. The girls stand up to Sudarshan, stating that Atal is the only one who supports them and their education. They also meet Atal and ask him to promise to help them pursue their education. Sudarshan warns the parents to keep their daughters away from Atal, threatening consequences if they don’t comply. The next morning, Atal goes missing, prompting a frantic search. Sudarshan arrives and advises the family not to waste time looking for him. Enraged, Krishna Devi grabs Sudarshan by the collar and pushes him.”
