Fraser helps her in moving the treasure. Samar and Laxmibai manage to steal the treasure. Fraser finds a letter where Kranti Guru takes the responsibility of stealing the treasure. Samar and Laxmibai return the wealth taken from Sakhubai to the royal treasury. Samar and Laxmibai are attacked by British soldiers who are disguised as the royal guards. Gangadhar arrives there, Samar manages to escape but Laxmibai is caught.

Gangadhar welcomes Moropant as a minister on his first day in Jhansi court. Fraser is shocked to see his British soldiers in disguise at Gangadhars court. Fraser promises to punish his errant soldiers. Moropant is shocked to see Manu as the prisoner Kranti Guru in the court. Samar too is present in the court. Gangadhar asks Kranti Guru to reveal her identity. Laxmibai states that she has not committed any crime. Laxmibai denies the accusation that she is a criminal and tells everyone how she hates the British. Gangadhar accuses her of trying to steal the treasury but praises her bravery as a woman. Laxmibai asks him to check the royal treasury. Everyone wants to see the person behind the veil. Laxmibai puts two conditions before revealing herself. She asks Gangadhar to pardon all the taxes levied on the farmers. Her second condition is that Gangadhar defeat her in a flag game. Gangadhar agrees to both the conditions.

Moropant is worried about Manu and asks Gangadhar to allow Manu to visit Durgawada to perform some holy rituals. Gangadhar tells Moropant that Laxmibai should be present for the flag game. Marshall arrives at the palace and sees an empty palanquin leaving the palace. He wonders why the palanquin is empty. Marshall hands over the British soldiers impersonating as the royal guards to Gangadhar. Samar Singh manages to reach Laxmibai in the prison. He tries to convince Laxmibai to escape but she refuses. Marshall meets Laxmibai in the prison. He praises her and talks ill about Gangadhar Rao. Laxmibai gets angry and warns him not to speak about Gangadhar Rao in such a manner.

Gangadhar and Laxmibai begin the race. Marshall waits with bated breath to see the end of Laxmibai. Laxmibai takes the flag and throws it at the finish point. There is a huge explosion. Laxmibai and Gangadhar are thrown from their horses. Gangadhar sees Kranti Guru lying on the ground, he approaches her. Laxmibais horse, Pawan, does not allow Gangadhar near her. Gangadhar asks her to remove her veil but Laxmibai reasons that no one has won the race and escapes. Marshall follows Laxmibai and shoots at her. He hits Laxmibais horse. Laxmibai is heart broken but Moropant tells her to go to the camp as Gangadhar awaits her. Marshall meets Gangadhar and tells him that Samar Singh and his gang were responsible for the conspiracy.

Marshall meets Gangadhar and tells him that Samar Singh and his gang were responsible for the conspiracy. He even blames Kranti Guru but Gangadhar refuses to believe that Kranti Guru has anything to do with it. Gangadhar tells his minister to find Samar Singh, dead or alive. Laxmibai is sad to hear that her horse will never be able to run again. Moropant asks Laxmibai to give up being Kranti Guru. He tells Manu that she should try to win over Gangadhars heart. Marshall tortures Samar Singh. Laxmibai serves meal to Gangadhar. Gangadhar tells Laxmibai that he is proud of Kranti Guru and praises her a lot. A servant tells Gangadhar that Marshall and Fraser have brought an important message from Fort William. Marshall tells Gangadhar Rao that the Governor has taken the objection raised by the Queen of Jhansi seriously.

Marshall reads the British Governors reply to Laxmibais letter. The Governor reduces the loan amount. The whole court rejoices with Gangadhar. Gangadhar tells Laxmibai that he is pleased that the Governor has reduced the loan and that the whole court is waiting to praise her. Laxmibai tells Gangadhar that she wants him as her husband for a day, not as a king. Laxmibai is honoured in the court. Gangadhar also reinstates Bhopatkar. He then announces a day off for the court as he wants to spend it as the husband of Queen Laxmibai. Laxmibai asks Motibai about the likes and dislikes of Gangadhar Rao. Motibai tells Laxmibai that Gangadhar loves roses and eating Paan (betel leaf). It is announced that Samar Singh will be publically hanged. Gangadhar is amazed to know that Laxmibai is an expert in sword fighting. Gangadhar and Laxmibai are happy in each others company. Meanwhile, Marshall leads Samar Singh to be hanged publically.

Gangadhar is surprised to see Laxmibais sword fighting skills. Sunder and Kashi, Laxmibais maids, want to give the news of Samars hanging to Laxmibai. But they do not find the opportunity to do so. Gangadhar and Laxmibai are happy spending time together. Samar is taken to be hanged by Marshall. Marshall taunts Samar asking him about his sister. Laxmibai and Gangadhar disguise themselves as common people and enjoy. Gangadhars minister tries to stop Marshall from hanging Samar. Gangadhar and Laxmibai come to know that Samar Singh is being hanged by the British. Gangadhar saves Samar Singh. Gangadhar wants Samar Sing to be taken in his custody but Marshall refuses. Later, Marshall agrees. Marshall promises himself that he will kill Laxmibai.

Gangadhar orders his soldiers to take Samar Singh in their custody. Marshall swears to himself that he will kill Laxmibai. Laxmibai secretly meets Samar in the prison and tells him to speak the truth. In the court, Samar Singh is accused of plotting to kill Gangadhar in the blast. Laxmibai intervenes and points out that the charges against Samar should be proved, and only then can he be punished. Samar tells Gangadhar that he has left the path of crime and the one who showed him the path of righteousness was Queen Laxmibai. Samar Singh tells Gangadhar that he was arrested by Marshalls men a day prior to the flag game. Marshall tries to turn the tables on Samar Singh by asking him what he was doing in Jhansi jail. Samar Singh tells Gangadhar that he had gone to free Kranti Guru. Marshall tells Gangadhar to ask Kranti Guru to testify in the court. Gangadhar asks Kranti Guru to be present, or Samar would be hanged. Marshall is happy that Laxmibai will be exposed.

Gangadhar tells Laxmibai, that if ever she did not tell him the whole truth, he will consider it as betrayal. She asks Gangadhar permission to meet Samar Singh. Marshall decides to free Samar Singh from Gangadhars jail and blame it on Kranti Guru. Laxmibai meets Samar Singh and tells him not to give up so easily. Laxmibai tells Samar that she will never let him or Gangadhar down. Gangadhar is shocked to know that there was an explosion in his jail and that Samar Singh has escaped. He is very angry to know that Kranti Guru has claimed the responsibility of the explosion. Laxmibai is stunned when Gangadhar tells her that Kranti Guru has helped Samar Singh escape. Laxmibai visits the jail and is moved to see so many dead prisoners and soldiers. She also finds a British badge which was deliberately planted by Marshall. Laxmibai vows to teach Marshall a lesson. Kranti Guru sends a letter to Gangadhar that she will be present in the court, provided Marshall is present too.

Kranti Guru sends a letter to Gangadhar that she will be present in the court, provided Marshall is present too. Motibai is shocked to know that Kranti Guru has to be present in the court. Moropant tries to dissuade Laxmibai from going to the court as Kranti Guru. Even Motibai tells her that the people of Jhansi need a revolutionary like Kranti Guru. But Laxmibai is firm in her decision. Marshall is happy that Kranti Guru will finally be destroyed. Everyone prays for a miracle which will save Laxmibai. Laxmibai meets Gangadhar and tries to talk about Kranti Gurus appearance in the court. Gangadhar tells her that he does not believe that Kranti Guru will appear in court and that if she does, she will be severely punished. Laxmibai assures Gangadhar that if he ever feels, she has not done things according to her stature as a queen, then the reason will be for the welfare of Jhansi and its people. Laxmibai seeks Gangadhars blessing.

The lookalike is scared thinking about the consequence if Gangadhar catches her lie. However, a lady in hiding asks her to continue with the lie. Tatya Guru, Indu and Prachi come to Jhansi to meet Manu but when the lookalike brushes off Prachi, the latter declares that she isn't Manu! Motibai regains consciousness and informs everyone that the lookalike is Jhalkari. She narrates how she had seen Jhalkari on the way to her prayers. Motibai had decided to bring her to the palace and keep her as the Queen of Jhansi to save Laxmibai's marriage. Moropant informs Tatya Guru, that even he had helped Motibai but hadn't informed Manu. Motibai then tells Tatya Guru how she had received a letter that said Jhalkari's father wanted to meet her but on the way, she had got hit on the head. Meanwhile, Kranti Guru reaches the building and decides to follow Marshall to know about Samar Singh's whereabouts.

Marshall kills his soldier who had betrayed him in Gangadhar's court and vows to find Kranti Guru. Marshalls men dress as civilians to trace her. Motibai apologises to Laxmibai for getting Jhalkari to the palace. However, she says that her intentions were noble. Motibai had come to Jhalakri's house and requested her father to allow Jhalkari to impersonate the Queen of Jhansi for a while. Lacho and her son who were hiding had later threatened Jhalkari to be the queen if she wanted to protect her family. Shivram invites Gangadhar and Aaishri for his daughter Chimnabais wedding with Moropant. Tatya Guru threatens Jhalkari to reveal the name of the person at whose behest she was continuing with the act, but Aaishri walks in just then. Later, when Aaishri sees Motibai in the palace, she reminds Motibai that courtesans are not allowed in the palace.

Sakhubai threatens Jhalkari to listen to her, or her family would be in deep trouble. When Jhalkari voices her worries to Sakhubai, she replies that none can enter the Commissionerate. She reveals that Jhalkari would mix explosives during the prayers and hand it to the king. When Gangadhar would offer it in the fire, the ensuing explosion would kill him. Sakhubai wonders how Jhalkari still has the scar and wipes her face. She gets a shock of her life when she realises that it is not Jhalkari but the queen! Laxmibai escapes. Meanwhile, Gangadhar's hand gets accidentally burnt, so Jankibai displays a lot of concern. Seeing this, Jhalkari confides the truth to Jankibai about her identity and about Sakhubai and Lachos ploy to kill Gangadhar. However, Jhalkari is stunned when she realises that even Jankibai is supportive of Lacho and Sakhubais plan. Kranti Guru and Tatya Guru fight the men in the Commissioners building.

Laxmibai and Tatya Guru free Jhalkari's father and brother. Jhalkari's father pleads with Laxmibai to free Jhalkari once, and they would leave Jhansi forever. Marshall is furious and says that they must have gone to Ganesha's temple. A worried Jhalkari goes to Aaishri and confides the truth to her. However, Jhalkari gets shocked to see that it is Lacho sitting in the guise of Aaishri! Lacho warns Jhalkari that she would kill her father and brother if she did not do as told. An upset Jhalkari finally decides not to worry about the consequence and tell the king the truth. She tries to expose her scar to him but Sakhubai covers her face. Meanwhile, Laxmibai meets Prachi and her other confidantes and says that she must reach the temple. The king waits for his queen to attend the religious ceremony but when Jhalkari heads towards him, she trips, and he holds her.

The king does not see the mark on her face and asks her to be careful. Nusrat informs Lacho that Kranti Guru had escaped with Jhalkaris father and brother. Marshall alerts his men dressed as civilians to keep a watch for Kranti Guru. Marshall spots Motibai with a girl and realises that she must be the Queen of Jhansi, so he chases them. Marshall and his men surround them but when he unveils the girls face, he sees that it isnt the queen. Meanwhile, at the religious ceremony, Jhalkari is asked to bring the offerings for the king. Jhalkari suggests to the king to ask the elders Sakhubai and Jankibai to make the offerings first so that the family is blessed. Sakhubai realises that the girl is Laxmibai, not Jhalkari. But the shrewd Sakhubai suggests that Aaishri is the eldest and most respected member of the family, so she must make the offerings. Aaishri agrees. A worried Laxmibai then takes a knife from nearby and holds it near the king. Aaishri sees this and is shocked.

Sakhubai and Jankibai make the offerings. An explosion ensues and they get burnt. Gangadhar thanks her for saving their lives once again. However, the king is worried about the mounting conspiracies against him. Indu is stunned to see two identical people. Laxmibai explains to her how Motibai had helped her go to the Ganesha temple, and how she had replaced Jhalkari to reach the ceremony. Jhalkari thanks Laxmibai and promises her that she is willing to do anything for her. Moropant too is happy to see his daughter back. A delighted Prachi informs Indu that she will celebrate her birthday with great splendour the next day. Laxmibai tells Gangadhar that untoward incidents in Jhansi have increased from the time Marshall has assumed office. Laxmibai goes to Sakhubai and Jankibai to warn them that if they ever think of harming Gangadhar again, then she would kill them. Aaishri overhears.

Laxmibai covers up by telling Aaishri that she would kill those who would conspire against the king. Gangadhar accuses Marshall of spreading terror in Jhansi and warns him that if such an act is repeated, then he would be thrown out of Jhansi. Nobody wishes Prachi on her birthday, so she is very disappointed. Prachi goes with a plea to the king that everyone who forgot her birthday be punished. However, Prachi is delighted when everybody surprises her with gifts. Meanwhile, at the Commissionerate, a British officer informs Marhsall that the villagers were drawing water from their private land. Having found a reason to needle Laxmibai again, Marshall shouts at the villagers and thrashes them. Just then, Kranti Guru arrives and drags Marshall. Both of them then have a sword fight, and Laxmibai wins. However, she gives Marshall a chance and asks him to leave Jhansi.

An injured Marshall comes to Gangadhars court and informs him that he would be leaving Jhansi for good. The villagers taunt Marshall for being a coward. Tatya Guru accompanies Marshall to make sure that he is out of Jhansis border. Meanwhile, the king gifts his queen a grand necklace, and she promises that she will have it removed only after her death. The painter at the palace sketches a portrait of the queen and king as well as that of Prachi. Moropant and Laxmibai are delighted and surprised to see Vahini Saheb grace the occasion of Moropants wedding. Aaishri taunts Vahini Saheb that Laxmibai was ignorant about the ways of a royal family, so she had to make great efforts to teach Laxmibai the same. Gangadhar insists that Vahini Saheb wait to till the Virat Mahotsav (A festival worshipping Goddess Durga). Moropant and Chimnabai get married. On the other hand, Marshall refuses to accept defeat and vows to destroy Jhansi.

When Laxmibai welcomes Vahini Saheb to the palace and washes her feet, Aaishri walks in and taunts Vahini Saheb that its not befitting on the Queen of Jhansi to indulge in something so belittling. Vahini Saheb retorts that it is a mark of respect for ones elders. Aaishri taunts Vahini Saheb that the norms of her family are far superior. Meanwhile, impressed with the portrait of the king and queen, Gangadhar rewards Sukhlal, the painter, handsomely. Prachi too flaunts her portrait but regrets that Manu is not with her in it. Gangadhar insists that Vahini Saheb stay back for the festivity of Goddess Durga. Gangadhar asks Laxmibai to do the honours of pulling the chariot of the goddess first. Sleeman is surprised to see Marshall back in Jhansi, so Marshall informs him about his plot to kill Laxmibai. While Laxmibai is pulling the rope, an accomplice of Marshall plants a bomb on the rope and lights its string. Marshall and Sleeman wait in anticipation for the bomb to explode.

Prachi complains to Laxmibai that she is unable to touch the rope, so Laxmibai gives her, her place. While Prachi is pulling the rope, she notices Marshall with his face covered and shouts out to Laxmibai. However, Laxmibai is unable to hear her amidst the noise and fanfare. The bomb detonates and Prachi is killed along with other people. Everybody is devastated with Prachis death. Preparations for Prachis last rites are on, and her foot and hand imprint is taken. Meanwhile, Marshall is furious that Laxmibai has escaped death once again. Sleeman suggests that he go underground for a few days to escape Laxmibais wrath. On the other hand, Gangadhar suddenly realises that Laxmibai is missing, so he personally goes to fetch her. When she does not open the door, Gangadhar orders that it be broken open. Aaishri sees a lifeless Laxmibai sitting and says that its important that she breaks down.

Vahini Saheb tries her to best to make Laxmibai cry and see Prachi for one last time but Laxmibai remains unmoved. Gangadhar and Aaishri too attempt to bring her out of her stupor but of no avail. Aaishri says that it was Gods will but a furious Vahini Saheb retorts that she does not believe in a God who snatched an innocent child away. Prachi is cremated, and an air of gloom descends on everyone. Bajirao and Nana Saheb attend the funeral. Gangadhar returns to Laxmibai and tells her the teachings of Lord Krishna about death. He suggests that she go and collect Prachi's ashes. Laxmibai visits the crematorium and vows that she would not immerse Prachi's ashes until she sought vengeance for Prachi's death.

Gangadhar orders his men to find the culprit of the heinous act immediately. Laxmibai refuses to give Prachis ashes to Vahini Saheb and declares that she would not immerse them until she brings justice for Prachi. Vahini Saheb begs Laxmibai to vent out her pain and cry. Laxmibai remains steadfast and refuses to give the ashes even to Bajjirao. Gangadhar promises Laxmibai to catch the culprit soon. When Sleeman comes to meet Gangadhar, the latter accuses Sleeman of looting them in the name of security. Sleeman retorts that internal security is not the concern of the British. It is announced that anyone who informs the king about the culprit would be awarded 5000 gold coins. Meanwhile, the other guards realise that their colleague, Lallan, knows how to make explosives and was not present on duty on the day of the blast. However, a scared Lallan clarifies that being a staunch devotee of the goddess; he had gone to attend the procession. Gangadhar, disguised as a guard, overhears.

The Prime Minister informs Gangadhar that the medals for British officers are made by Jhansi's goldsmith, Samir Chandra. After Samir Chandra reads the initials on the medal, the Prime Minister says that it belongs to Marshall. Gangadhar asks the Prime Minister to give the 8000 gold coins to Lallan's wife. Gangadhar refrains from telling Laxmibai about Marshall for he fears she would ruin herself in flames of vengeance. A harried Sleeman denies that Marshall is in Jhansi despite being shown the medal by Gangadhar. A furious Sleeman orders Marshall to leave Jhansi immediately. Meanwhile, Lallan's wife is grateful for the gold coins, and thanks Laxmibai for being so understanding in spite of Lallan betraying her family at the behest of a British officer. When Laxmibai asks her who the officer was, Lallan's wife tells her that the British officer had one gold tooth. A shocked Laxmibai then recollects Prachi shouting out to her about Marshall at the procession.

The Prime Ministers spy informs the king that Marshall is in the Commissionerate and the British plan to take Marshall away from Jhansi at the earliest. Laxmibai tells the king that such criminals deserve a death penalty and requests him to grant her the right to punish the culprit. He assures her that he would bring the culprit to her soon. Laxmibai tells her maids that she wishes to bathe and purify herself before the king brings the culprit to her but says that she would wash her face only after Prachi has been given justice. Tatya Guru and Kranti Guru set out to kill Marshall, and are surprised to see Samar Singh join them. The three get ready to face the challenge of finishing off Marhsall.

Kranti Guru, Tatayguru and Samar aim their arrow to destroy the British ammunition but Gangadhar destroys it first. They are not able to see Gangadhar but join him in attacking the British. The officers get afraid seeing Kranti Gurus yellow flag. Kranti Guru, Tatayguru and Samar go to attack Marshall but get surrounded by the British soldiers. However, Gangadhar with his face covered comes to their rescue. A fierce battle ensues between the British soldiers and the four of them. Meanwhile, Sleeman brings the dead bodies of his soldiers to Gangadhar and demands justice. Raghunath reads Kranti Gurus letter that states she will punish Marshall within a day, and anybody who saves Marshall would meet with the same fate.

Kranti Guru, Tatya Guru and Samar kill Marshall. People shower milk as offerings on Kranti Guru as a mark of gratitude and in the process, Kranti Gurus veil slips. The people realise that Kranti Guru is none other than their queen. A furious Sleeman demands to know where Kranti Guru is, and every person around claims that he is Kranti Guru! Meanwhile, Kranti Guru has walked away, with the king following her. She drops her sword and the king recalls it belonging to his queen. Gangadhar sees Kranti Guru immersing Prachi's ashes in the river. She then dips in the river, and is confronted by Gangadhar. Gangadhar is furious on learning the truth that his queen is Kranti Guru. Laxmibai tries to justify that she did everything only for the welfare of Jhansi. However, he demands to talk to his queen, not Kranti Guru.

Gangadhar is furious at his betrayal. His conscience tries to convince him about Laxmibais noble intentions but in vain. Sleeman warns Gangadhar that East India Company would be compelled to snatch the administrative rights of Jhansi if the anarchy continues. However, he suggests that if Kranti Guru is also sent to Fort William along with Marshall's dead body within a day, then Gangadhar could continue to be the king. Laxmibai deeply regrets betraying Gangadhar's trust, and for forgetting her duties as a wife after Prachi's death. Gangadhar is furious with Laxmibai for not trusting her husband or the King of Jhansi. Laxmibai agrees to surrender herself to the British as Kranti Guru but the king warns her not to. He then gives her a days time to think whether she wants to remain the Queen of Jhansi or Kranti Guru. Once the king leaves, Laxmibai starts to clutch her stomach in pain.

Aaishri tends to Laxmibai who is wincing in pain. All Aaishri tells Laxmibai is that she is ready to beget a child for Gangadhar, and asks her to stay in a separate room for 5 days. Jankibai and Sakhubai hear the news and are jealous that Jhansi would soon get an heir. Spears inform Gangadhar that a disheartened Sleeman has gone to Lucknow, and things could turn for the worse if Kranti Guru is not handed over to the British. Gangadhar bribes Spears into not mentioning in his report about Kranti Gurus involvement in Marshall's death. Meanwhile, Aaishri informs Gangadhar about Laxmibai coming of age. Later, she taunts Gangadhar for not keeping his wife in his clutches. Meanwhile, Laxmibai gets bathed after 5 days and is dressed up like a queen. The dilemma of having to give an answer to the kings ultimatum worries her. On the other hand, the king too awaits his queens reply.

A worried Sunder informs Laxmibai that the guards would arrive soon as they have sensed an impostor in their midst. Laxmibai takes Samar to the kitchen and shows him the secret exit. Meanwhile, Gangadhar assures Spears that his soldiers would not interfere when Samar gets arrested. Sunder, who has her face covered, sees the king approaching. Thinking she is Laxmibai, Gangadhar tells her that he has decided to hand over Samar to the British for the welfare of Jhansi and requests her not to disrupt the plan. Aaishri arrives later and sees the queen fumbling and tense, so she lifts the veil and is shocked to see Sunder dressed as the queen. A frightened Sunder tells her everything what Gangadhar had told her. Aaishri warns Sunder not to reveal anything to Laxmibai. Sunder tries to speak to Laxmibai about Samar but is stopped by Aaishri. Samar reaches outside the palace but as he gallops on his horse, Spears and his men follow him.

Motibai takes Laxmibai to the room where she is supposed to consummate her marriage with Gangadhar. Laxmbai cannot understand why the room has been decorated so splendidly. Gangadhar Rao orders Raghunath to beef up security for the night because the British would be arresting Samar. Raghunath informs Gangadhar that Samar would be moving out of Jhansi. Jankibai and Sakhubai inform Laxmibai that Gangadhar has given permission to the British to arrest Samar for killing Marshall so that she is not accused of his murder, but Laxmibai brushes it aside as a lie. However, Sunder comes to Laxmibai later and mentions the truth about Samar. Laxmibai rushes out of the palace secretly to save Samar. Meanwhile, Gangadhar is surprised not to find Laxmibai in the room. Raghunath informs Gangadhar that the queen had left the palace a while back. The British soldiers surround Samar, and a fierce battle ensues. Samar gets badly injured.

The British soldiers go to arrest Samar but he fights them bravely. Spears aims to shoot Samar but just then, Laxmibai arrives and takes his gun away. She saves Samar from the British and asks him to go away from Jhansi. An enraged Gangadhar arrives a while later and feels totally betrayed as a husband and as the King of Jhansi, so he strips Laxmibai of all the rights of a queen, and says that she has no place in Jhansi now. Gangadhar Rao returns to the palace and announces that Manikarnika will never return to the palace. Laxmibai leaves her jewellery near the gates of palace. Lacho tells Sakhubai that dethroning Gangadhar would be her job. Tatya Guru and Moropant are shocked to know from Aaishri that Laxmibai is no longer the Queen of Jhansi or the wife of Gangadhar Rao. Aaishri blames Laxmibai for the troubles that they have had to face from the time she entered the palace. A heartbroken Laxmibai roams on the streets of Jhansi.

Gangadhar refuses to conduct any proceedings in court for the day and warns everyone not to take Laxmibai's name. Spears tells his men that Marshall's death has made their job much easier because Indians would have now realised the consequence of challenging the British. Moropant and Tatya Guru are worried when they fail to find Laxmibai. He advises Moropant to stay back in Jhansi to keep an eye on the conspirators. Meanwhile, a group of ascetics find Laxmibai in an unconscious state in a jungle. Spears, who is also in the same jungle, is unable to see Laxmibai getting inside the bullock cart. When Spears confronts Acharya, he calls them thieves and orders them to leave Jhansi. Acharya replies that they will move out of Jhansi only if Gangadhar Rao orders them to leave as he is the king. An infuriated Spears is about to whip Acharya when Tatya Guru stops him. Tatya Guru reminds Spears he has no right to order anyone to leave Jhansi.

Gangdhar is inconsolable at Laxmibais betrayal and starts to drink. Meanwhile, Sunder is inconsolable that the king had spoken to her about Samars arrest, thinking she was the queen. She decides to confess the truth to him. Sunder is about to meet Gangadhar but Aaishri stops her. Gangadhar's dove, Saawariya, brings Gangadhar's portrait to the place where Laxmibai is staying with the ascetics. However, just then, Shraddha, Acharyas daughter, arrives. Laxmibai reveals her name as Manu to them. A drunken Gangadhar Rao orders Motibai to dance, and she is forced to perform for him. However, he voices his displeasure at the way she danced, and collapses. Saawariya drops a flower on Gangadhar. On the other hand, Laxmbai prays to the Lord to protect Gangadhar. Sunder secretly enters Gangadhar's room and confesses the truth to him.

Just when Sunder is about to reveal more, Aaishri takes her away and orders the guards to arrest Sunder. Meanwhile, Laxmibai is delighted to watch Acharya and his men practice sword fighting at the camp. Seeing the passion in her voice for her motherland, Acharya promises to teach Laxmibai sword fighting but Shraddha stops him. Acharya encourages Shraddha also to learn for self-defence but she refuses saying that he would always be there to protect her. Gangadhar is unable to forget Laxmibai, and by mistake calls Motibai by her name. Acharya seeks to meet Gangadhar but Raghunath says that he cannot because there would be no proceedings for the day. The palace guards say that after the queen has left, the king has gone back to his merry-making days. On the other hand, Spears and his men order Acharya's people to leave the camp but Acharya's boys rebel. The British officers thrash them badly. Spears then spots Shraddha and tries to rape her. However, he gets shocked to see Kranti Guru

Spears is shocked when Kranti Guru comes to Shraddha's rescue. Shraddha wonders who she is. A British soldier is about to stab Kranti Guru when Acharya Sajanand saves her. Acharya reveals to his people who Kranti Guru is. Spears appears in Gangadhar's court. The Minister tells him that no decision can be taken in Gangadhar's absence. A frustrated Gangadhar Rao drinks heavily in Motibai's chamber. Aaishri goes to Motibai's chamber and provokes Gangadhar against Laxmibai and her activities. A furious Gangadhar goes to the court. Sunder asks Kashi to reveal the truth to Gangadhar, but she does not get an opportunity. Acharya teaches the finer techniques of sword fighting to Laxmibai. In the court, Gangadhar issues an order asking the `sanyasis' to leave Jhansi. He also says that if they wish to continue staying in Jhansi, they must hand over all those who had attacked the British, and if they are proved guilty, they will be hanged. But Manu feels that Gangadhar will do justice.

Sakhubai is pleased with Gangadhar's decision and feels that she will soon become the Queen of Jhansi. Kashi reveals everything to Motibai. Motibai is shocked to know that Aaishri does not want Gangadhar and Laxmibai to be together. She decides to inform Gangadhar about this. Meanwhile, Acharya and Laxmibai are shocked to hear Gangadhar's orders about the `sanyasis'. Motibai requests Khudabaksh to reveal the truth to Gangadhar. Aaishri comes to know that Khudabaksh is in Motibai's chamber, and deliberately sends Gangadhar there. Gangadhar gets angry to see Motibai with Khudabaksh, and asks his soldiers to arrest Motibai. She somehow escapes from their custody and reaches Gangadhar's court. Aaishri asks Gangadhar not to entertain a prostitute like Motibai. An angry Motibai tells Gangadhar that Aaishri is responsible for creating misunderstandings between him and Laxmibai.

Gangadhar gets angry at Motibai when she alleges that Aaishri had tried to separate him from Laxmibai. But Motibai swears on God and reveals that Aaishri knew Sunder was pretending to be Laxmibai and Laxmibai was unaware that he had permitted the British to arrest Samar Singh. Gangadhar believes her and goes in search of Laxmibai. Raghunath insists on accompanying the King. Gangadhar apologises to Moropant for his behaviour. Meanwhile, Laxmibai and the group of `sanyasis' cross the Jhansi border. Gangadhar Rao goes to meet the `Rajguru' regarding his problems. Guruji tells him about the great ritual at Datiya, where `sanyasis' from all over the nation would be gathering. Gangadhar hopes to meet Laxmibai there. Meanwhile, Acharya tells his wife that one has to undergo rigorous tasks to prepare for the ritual. Laxmibai volunteers to perform the difficult tasks as she considers herself Acharya's second daughter. Acharya is touched.

Laxmibai begins the intricate task of preparing for the ritual. Sakhubai plans to take advantage of Gangadhar's absence, and sit on the throne. But her plan is foiled when Gangadhar returns. Laxmibai is surprised to find Tatya Guru in Datiya, but she firmly refuses to go back with him. Laxmibai continues with the preparations without taking anyone's help. The `Rajguru'(Chief Guru) is very impressed and informs Laxmibai that King Gangadhar Rao will be attending the holy sacrifice. Gangadhar Rao is eager to meet his queen. Gangadhar Rao's soldiers take the disguise of pilgrims and begin searching for Laxmibai. After finishing her work, Laxmibai prepares to leave the venue, but she suddenly notices Gangadhar Rao's arrival. Gangadhar Rao meets Acharya and apologises to him. He also expresses his desire to personally apologise to every member of the hermitage.

Laxmibai tries to avoid Gangadhar's view by escaping into the jungle. Gangadhar Rao comes to know that the 'sanyasis' have given shelter to a girl. Gangadhar Rao is sure that the girl is Laxmibai and begins to search for her. Spears sees Gangadhar and asks his soldiers to follow him. Sakhubai reveals to Jankibai that she has informed Spears that Gangadhar Rao is searching for Laxmibai in Datiya. Sakhubai conspires to kill Gangadhar with Spears' help. Raghunath follows Laxmibai and gets attacked. The hired assassins of the British, disguise as Gangadhar soldiers and attack him. Laxmibai reaches there on time and saves Gangadhar's life. Gangadhar tells Laxmibai that Jhansi is awaiting its queen. Laxmibai says that he will also have to accept her as Kranti Guru because it is her duty to fight against the British. Gangadhar Rao remains silent. Therefore, she leaves from there.

Gangadhar Rao is very upset by Laxmibai's absence. He announces that her dagger will represent her in the court. However, Moropant is sure that Gangadhar has met Laxmibai. Sakhubai is extremely pleased that Gangadhar Rao and Laxmibai are not together and cannot have an heir. She begins to conspire to kill Gangadhar. Laxmibai meets Samar Singh co-incidentally and is stirred on seeing his pitiable condition. Samar informs Laxmibai that some company officers are forcing villagers to grow opium. He also tells her about the increasing number of deaths in the village, due to the farming of opium. Laxmibai vows to teach the officers a lesson and motivates Samar to join hands with her. A villager named Karma announces that Gangadhar Rao is a traitor and their biggest enemy, because he gave away their villages to the British. Laxmibai is shocked. Other villagers agree with him.

Samar Singh tries to explain to Karma that Gangadhar Rao is not a traitor. But an agitated Karma interrupts him and vows to behead Gangadhar Rao within a year. Laxmibai gets furious and says that Gangadhar Rao is not an ordinary man. She asks the villagers to fight in unison against the British. The villagers are impressed by Laxmibai's words and pledge to oust the British from their country. Laxmibai and Samar Singh train the villagers to fight in the battlefield. Kranti Guru and the villagers attack the British in Araj. They defeat the British and free the villagers captured by them. Spears informs Gangadhar Rao about the incident. Gangadhar assures to investigate. But he and his ministers are pleased by Kranti Guru's action. A group of British soldiers surround Kranti Guru and are about to attack her.

Laxmibai (Kranti Guru) continues with her nonstop efforts to fight against the British. The story takes a leap of a few years. Lord Dalhousie becomes the Governor General of India in 1848. He captures Satara and now intends to grab Jhansi. Karma wonders what connection Kranti Guru has with Gangadhar Rao. Spears informs Gangadhar Rao that the British treasury is going to be shifted from Jhansi to Gwalior for safety from dacoits. He asks Gangadhar to provide his soldiers, for escorting the treasure since the dacoits will not attack the soldiers of Jhansi. When Spears reveals that the leader of the dacoits is a woman, he guesses that the leader is Laxmibai. Gangadhar agrees to have security provided to the British provided they return the villages that they have captured. Spears agrees. Laxmibai and her group come to know about the transfer of the treasury. Gangadhar Rao hopes to meet Laxmibai soon.

Kranti Guru and her group attack Spears and his troops who are travelling from Jhansi to Gwalior. They even manage to steal the treasure. On the other hand, Karma and his group attack Gangadhar and his soldiers in order to steal the remaining treasure. Karma is about to stab Gangadhar, but Laxmibai reaches there and saves him in the nick of time. In the court, Gangadhar tells his ministers that the leader of the dacoits must surely be very intelligent or else they would have not known about the treasure. Captain Martin tells Gangadhar that someone from the palace must be leaking out the information. He also informs that the East India Company has sent him to help. But Gangadhar refuses to take help. Martin tells him that the British wants their stolen treasure back.

Kranti Guru reprimands Karma for trying to kill Gangadhar Rao. Karma angrily tells the villagers that Kranti Guru has some connection with Gangadhar Rao. He also expresses his suspicions about Laxmibai stealing the treasure. Just then, Samar Singh brings the treasure. The villagers are delighted and they praise Laxmibai. Spears asks Martin, why he asked Gangadhar Rao to recover their treasure from the dacoits. Martin says that by doing this, Gangadhar Rao and the dacoits will fight with each other and die. The festival of 'Vatasavitri' approaches. Gangadhar Rao and Laxmibai terribly miss each other. Laxmibai goes to the spot where she met Gangadhar Rao while saving him from Karma. Even Gangadhar Rao visits the same place, but they fail to see each other. Karma kills one of the group members and gets caught by the villagers.

When Laxmibai asks Karma the reason for killing the man, Karma lies that the man was an informer of the British. On searching, a bag of gold coins is indeed found in the man's pocket. One of the group members decides to kill Karma. But Karma begs to her to save his life. She forgives him at Samar Singh's behest. Gangadhar Rao asks Raghunath Singh for a detailed report. Laxmibai tells Samar Singh that she is feeling bad about putting Gangadhar Rao in trouble after stealing the treasure. Laxmibai decides to send a peace proposal to Gangadhar Rao. Meanwhile, Gangadhar Rao sends a similar peace proposal to the revolutionaries that if they return the treasure, he will take the 11 villages back from the British and declare them tax free forever. A villager of Jhansi informs Spears and Martin about Gangadhar's peace proposal. Martin feels happy assuming that Gangadhar has walked into their trap.

The `sanyasis' are shocked when they find a corpse whose head has been severed. They also find Gangadhar Rao's letter saying that he will take over the eleven villages from the British if the revolutionaries hand over the British treasure. Gangadhar Rao and his soldiers march towards the revolutionaries along with the British soldiers. Martin is sure that Gangadhar Rao will be either killed by the revolutionaries, or the British army will kill him. Meanwhile, the revolutionaries too prepare to fight with Gangadhar Rao. Karma finds the letter from Ganesh's corpse and realises that Laxmibai wants to establish peace with Gangadhar Rao. Karma burns the letter. Although Samar Singh notices the letter, Karma manages to hide its contents. The women from Laxmibai's group ask her to stop the war in order to avoid more deaths. When they try to fight with Gangadhar Rao, a group of women headed by Laxmibai comes between the two groups.

Martin reprimands his men for not bringing Gangadhar's dead body and orders them to bring it. But when one of the men refuses to go, he gets killed. Laxmibai overhears Martin telling his men to search for Gangadhar Rao and kill him. Laxmibai concludes that it is not safe to shift Gangadhar Rao anywhere for treatment. Raghunath and the Prime Minister are worried on not finding Gangadhar Rao. The Prime Minister asks Raghunath to search for Gangadhar. Laxmibai somehow manages to hide Gangadhar in a hut. Outside the hut, Laxmibai is shocked to hear her people vowing to kill Gangadhar. Raghunath finds a dead body in the jungle whose face is unrecognisable, and assumes it to be Gangadhar Rao's. Karma comes to the village and tells everyone that Gangadhar has been killed. Everyone rejoices. Samar Singh informs Laxmibai about the same. Laxmibai is puzzled. Gangadhar Rao's body is brought to the palace. Everyone mourns over his death.

Karma asks Martin if he will fulfill his promise of making him the Subedar (head) of the 11 villages. Martin angrily replies that the deal will be fulfilled only when they get their treasure back. At the palace where everyone is mourning over Gangadhar's death, Tatya Guru gets worried about Laxmibai. When Sakhubai and Jankibai shed false tears over Gangadhar's death, Lacho walks in. The Prime Minister reminds her that Gangadhar had asked her never to step into Jhansi again. Karma tells Samar that they should distribute the wealth amongst themselves, but Samar strongly opposes. Karma comes to know from Samar that only Laxmibai knows the whereabouts of the treasure. Spears and Martin come to the palace to pay their condolences to the deceased King of Jhansi. Lacho requests Spears to make her son Ali Bahadur the next king. At the same time, Sakhubai and Jankibai too try to bribe Spears and Martin for making them the next ruler.

Laxmibai brings a physician in order to treat Gangadhar. When the physician sees Gangadhar, he refuses to treat him since he is an enemy. But Laxmibai explains to him that Gangadhar is a victim of the British conspiracies. Laxmibai requests the physician not to disclose to anyone that Gangadhar is alive. Tatya Guru feels that things are not as they appear to be. Meanwhile, a devastated Motibai insists on taking imprints of Gangadhar Rao's feet, as his remembrance. The physician lies that he had gone to treat Laxmibai who was injured while practicing sword fighting. After hearing about Gangadhar's death, Lord Dalhousie passes a law in order to capture Jhansi. Karma discreetly enters Laxmibai's hut to search for the treasure. But Samar Singh catches him. The supposed corpse of Gangadhar Rao is taken for cremation. No one pays heed to Moropant's request to wait for Laxmibai. Motibai reveals that there is a mark under Gangadhar's foot, which was missing from the corpse.

Jhansi's Prime Minister and Raghunath are elated to know that Gangadhar Rao is alive. When Raghunath is about to tell everyone, the Prime Minister stops him saying that Gangadhar's enemies could try to harm him again. Tatya Guru decides to find Gangadhar Rao immediately. Laxmibai decides to hide her identity from Gangadhar. Samar happens to address her as Manu. Karma asks Laxmibai the reason for visiting the physician. She lies that her foot had got sprained. Tatya Guru overhears Martin telling Spears that the East India Company will take over Jhansi within 48 hours of Gangadhar Rao's death, under the doctrine of lapse. Meanwhile, Gangadhar regains consciousness. Laxmibai takes the disguise of a man and introduces herself as Raja. Raja asks Gangadhar if Laxmibai had indeed betrayed him. Gangadhar reveals that it was he who has betrayed her. Raja asks him if he will accept the Laxmibai as the Queen of Jhansi if she is really the head of the revolutionaries.

Gangadhar says that he will never accept the leader of the revolutionaries as his wife. Martin tells Sakhubai, Jankibai and Lacho that if Laxmibai does not return to the palace within 48 hours, the British will decide who will take over the throne. Moropant arrives and announces that only Laxmibai can take that decision. Moropant reveals that Gangadhar and Laxmibai are alive. At this, Martin says that if Gangadhar Rao does not arrive within 48 hours, the throne will be taken over by someone else. . Tatya Guru, who is search of Gangadhar Rao, meets Samar and tells him that he needs to find Gangadhar at the earliest. Samar tells him that he knows where Gangadhar is and promises that Gangadhar will reach the palace safely. At the palace, Martin announces that if Gangadhar does not arrive within 48 hours, the East India Company will take over Jhansi. Karma keeps a watch over Samar when he goes to Laxmibai's hut. Karma is shocked to see Gangadhar Rao alive.

Laxmibai tells Samar Singh that she will take Gangadhar Rao back to Jhansi, along with the treasure. She also tells him that Gangadhar had made a deal with the British to give him the administrative powers of 11 villages if he returns the treasure. Karma overhears their conversation and instigates the villagers to kill Gangadhar and acquire the treasure. Lord Dalhousie sends a letter to Sakhubai, Jankibai and Lacho asking them to vacate the palace by next morning. Karma and his group of revolutionaries try to stop Laxmibai from taking Gangadhar Rao to Jhansi. But Laxmibai vows to kill anyone who tries to stop her. Karma asks Laxmibai what relation she has with Gangadhar. Tatya Guru arrives and explains to the revolutionaries, how important it is for Gangadhar Rao to return to Jhansi. Inspite of this, Karma rushes ahead to kill Gangadhar, but Laxmibai counterattacks him. Laxmibai promises the villagers that she will never break their trust.

Karma forces some of the revolutionaries to attack Laxmibai. But Tatya Guru and Acharya fight against them, and Laxmibai leaves. On the way, Laxmibai takes the disguise of Raja. Karma tries to follow Laxmibai, but gets fooled. Gangadhar regains consciousness when they are on the way. Upon reaching the Jhansi border, Laxmibai notices British soldiers posted all over. Just then, a British battalion which is on its way to the palace passes by. Laxmibai thinks of a plan. At the palace, Sakhubai, Jankibai and Lacho get ready to leave the palace. Martin is about to hoist the English flag on Jhansi fort, when the battalion arrives. An officer from the battalion asks him to stop. And the officer turns out to none other than Gangadhar Rao himself. Everyone is happy to see him. Gangadhar hoists the flag of Jhansi.

Gangadhar alleges that Martin took advantage of the rumors of his death and tried to take over Jhansi. Tatya Guru asks Laxmibai to reveal her identity to everyone. But she wants to wait for the right time. When Gangadhar addresses his subjects, Karma is present there in a disguise. Gangadhar tells his people that his life was saved by Raja who has also returned the British treasure. Gangadhar also assures to take back the administration of the 11 villages. Karma wonders who Raja is. Meanwhile, Laxmibai leaves from there. Tatya Guru reveals to Moropant that Raja was none other than Manu herself. Laxmibai returns to her camp and assures the revolutionaries that the British will soon return the 11 villages. Gangadhar decides to return the treasure to the British in order to get the powers of the 11 villages. Sakhubai, Jankibai and Lacho apologise to Gangadhar, and he forgives them. Laxmibai hopes that the hatred of the villagers towards Gangadhar vanishes soon.

Gangadhar Rao returns the treasure to Martin, but he insists on seeing the treasure first. When Martin gets the chests opened, he finds only rocks instead of the treasure. Martin is furious and accuses Gangadhar of cheating the East India Company. He also says that Gangadhar is not fit to sit on the throne. Gangadhar Rao tells Martin that it could be a conspiracy against him. Martin apologises to Gangadhar but also announces that he has to receive the treasure within 24 hours. It is revealed that Karma had stolen the treasure. Moropant arrives at Laxmibai's camp to meet her. When he asks her to come back to Jhansi, she tells him she will return only when Gangadhar Rao gets the 11 villages. Moropant reveals to her that the treasure has been stolen. Laxmibai is shocked, but she is sure that Karma is behind the theft. Karma goes to meet Martin and tries to strike a deal. Karma offers to give good news to Martin if he makes him the `Subedar' of the 11 villages.

Laxmibai fails to find the treasure and decides to kill herself by self-immolation. When Acharya is about to light the pyre, his disciples try to stop him. However, Karma snatches the torch and lights the pyre. Assuming Laxmibai to be dead, Karma declares himself the Subedar of the village and also asks Samar and Acharya to leave the village. Laxmibai escapes through a secret passage with the help of Samar Singh and Acharya Sajanand. As expected by Laxmibai, Karma tries to take the treasure out from its secret location. When Karma goes to meet Martin, Laxmibai stealthily follows him. Karma gives the treasure to Martin and asks him to make him the Subedar of the eleven villages. Martin gives him a document declaring him the Subedar of 11 villages, but Karma is shocked when Martin stabs him. Laxmibai is surprised to hear Karma's screams. Laxmibai finds Karma in a critical state. Karma is surprised to see Laxmibai alive.

Karma asks Laxmibai her true identity. She answers by saying that she is an Indian. Laxmibai decides to treat Karma and thinks of searching the treasure herself. Karma repents for his past behaviour and begs to Laxmibai to forgive him. Laxmibai and Samar somehow steal the treasure from Martin's men. Laxmibai sends the treasure to Gangadhar Rao along with a letter saying that the treasure was stolen by the British so that he does not get the administration of the eleven villages. Gangadhar Rao calls Martin to the palace and rebukes him for forcing him to pay for the treasure that was stolen by the enemies. Martin says that the treasure was stolen under his (Gangadhar's) jurisdiction. Gangadhar Rao announces that he is going to get the eleven villages for himself since he has the treasure in his possession. Martin is stunned when Gangadhar Rao soldiers bring the treasure before him.

Martin is shocked to see that Gangadhar has managed to retrieve the treasure. Gangadhar asks Martin to come to the village, where he will hand over the treasure and take the administrative powers of the 11 villages. Martin feels humiliated and decides that he will not let Gangadhar take over the villages. The villagers are also happy to know that Laxmibai successfully took the treasure from Martin and handed it over to Gangadhar. Gangadhar arrives to the village to sign the treaty. Martin arrives at the village and is enraged to see Karma alive. He refuses to sign the treaty and keeps a condition that Karma will have to lick his shoes. Gangadhar gets angry at Martin, but Martin still raises his gun to shoot Karma. Raja (Laxmibai) intervenes and saves Karma. Raja challenges Martin to a duel using English weapons. Martin accepts the challenge. The contest is scheduled for the next day.

Raja seeks Gangadhar's blessings for the duel. Gangadhar asks Samar Singh about Laxmibai's whereabouts. Samar says that he knows where she is, but has promised Laxmibai that he will keep it a secret. Samar criticizes Gangadhar for not understanding Laxmibai and compelling her to leave the palace. Karma overhears them and realises that Rani is actually Maharani Laxmibai. Karma apologises to Rani and pleads to forgive him. Laxmibai forgives him and makes him promise that he will never tell the truth to anyone. Samar tells Laxmibai that Gangadhar is repenting for his past behaviour. Meanwhile, Gangadhar prays to God to unite him with Laxmibai soon. The day of the duel arrives. Everyone gathers at the ground. It is announced that an extremely violent man named Pascal will fight on behalf of Martin. Everyone is shocked to see him. Just then, Raja (Laxmibai) arrives there.

Gangadhar and the others are shocked to see the huge man standing to fight against Raja. Martin announces the rules that there are no rules and the fighters can use any weapon they wish. Gangadhar Rao objects to Martin's decision. Martin asks if they have any one to replace Raja. But Raja accuses Martin of being a coward and participating in the fight himself. Raja says that he wants to fight, and asks Gangadhar Rao not to withdraw. The duel begins. Raja evades every attack from Pascal and snatches all his weapons. Fearing defeat, Martin announces the end of the first round. Even in the second round, Raja is ahead of Pascal. Raja throws Pascal on the ground. But Pascal throws a powder given by Martin, into Raja's eyes. Raja becomes temporarily blind.

A villager thanks Gangadhar Rao for freeing them for the British. Gangadhar Rao gives the credit to Laxmibai. Tatya Guru asks Laxmibai to return to the palace. But she refuses. Gangadhar feels disappointed to see Laxmibai leaving from there. He follows her. Sakhubai, Jankibai and Lacho are shocked when Motibai tells them that the girl who won against Pascal is Maharani Laxmibai. Spears is very upset that Fort Williams accepted his resignation. Everyone is sure that Gangadhar Rao will return to the palace with Laxmibai. But Sakhubai, Jankibai and Lacho refuse to believe that the girl is indeed Laxmibai. Meanwhile, Laxmibai reaches a temple and faints. Gangadhar goes to help her. Laxmibai gains consciousness and initially gets angry with him. She refuses to return with him as she believes that he will still not accept as his queen as well as Kranti Guru. But Gangadhar Rao says that he is ready to accept her in both the forms.

Gangadhar Rao and Laxmibai decide to return to the palace. The villagers are pleased to see them together. Gangadhar thanks the villagers for their love and support towards Laxmibai. The women of the village decorate Laxmibai. Meanwhile in Bithur, Vahini Saheb receives a message from Gangadhar Rao that Manu is returning back to Jhansi, and they have been invited to bless them. A delighted Vahini Saheb informs about this to Bajirao and Nana Saheb. Bajirao asks Vahini Saheb and Nana Saheb to go without him, since he is unwell. He also prohibits Vahini Saheb from telling Manu about his ill health. The villagers thank Laxmibai for what she has done for them. Laxmibai bids farewell to the villagers.

Laxmibai returns to Jhansi and the subjects are overjoyed. Laxmibai is overwhelmed with emotions on entering the palace after several years. Laxmibai is even more pleased to see Vahini Saheb and Nana Saheb. When Gangadhar asks Sakhubai, Lacho and Jankibai to bless Laxmibai, Sakhubai refuses to do so and asks for a proof that she is indeed Laxmibai. Gangadhar gets furious. But Laxmibai goes towards her and whispers that she knows that she (Sakhubai) had stolen Gangadhar Rao's treasure. Laxmibai threatens to expose her misdeed. Sakhubai panics and quickly blesses Laxmibai saying that she was only testing her. Gangadhar Rao wishes to spend time with Laxmibai. But Vahini Saheb takes Laxmibai with her saying that she needs rest. Gangadhar is disappointed.

Laxmibai is overwhelmed to see her portraits that Gangadhar had painted in her absence. Some British officers Malcolm and Ross tell Sakhubai, Jankibai and Lacho that they should see to it that Laxmibai and Gangadhar Rao do not consummate their marriage. If they succeed in doing that, the British officers promise to give them the administrative powers of Jhansi. The British officers suggest that they should use Vahini Saheb for this purpose. Meanwhile, Vahini Saheb asks Laxmibai's maids about Laxmibai's whereabouts. The maids do not reveal that she is with Gangadhar Rao. Gangadhar and Laxmibai spend some romantic moments with each other. Gangadhar shows her a sculpture made by him, whose face is incomplete because he didn't know how she looked now.

Laxmibai's maid Kashi comes to Gangadhar's room and informs Laxmibai that Vahini Saheb is searching for her, to get a `puja' performed through her. Laxmibai gets worried and is about to leave the room, when Vahini Saheb reaches there, Gangadhar quickly makes her hide inside and lies to Vahini Saheb that Laxmibai is not in the room. Vahini Saheb leaves. Laxmibai leaves too. Sakhubai, Jankibai and Lacho try to instigate Vahini Saheb against Laxmibai saying that she was responsible for Prachi's death. Vahini Saheb gets furious at them for trying to brainwash her against Laxmibai. She also reminds them that they are able to stay in the palace only due to Laxmibai. Nanasaheb challenges Laxmibai for a swordfight. Laxmibai tells him that she has to go for a `puja'. But when Nanasaheb provokes her, she gets ready to fight. She defeats Nana saheb. Just then, Gangadhar reaches there and challenges Laxmibai for a fight. She agrees.

Gangadhar Rao seeks the blessings of Tatya Dixit, before going to his chamber to meet Laxmibai. A priest tells the Prime Minister that Tatya Dixit's calculation regarding the auspicious time for the consummation of Gangadhar and Laxmibai's marriage is wrong and could cause disaster. Sakhubai, Jankibai and Lacho are delighted. Unaware of these happenings, Laxmibai shows reluctance in getting intimate to Gangadhar, claiming that she is not mentally prepared yet. Tatya Dixit feels offended at the priest's allegation and decided to demand justice from the king. Gangadhar understands Laxmibai's situation and supports her. Laxmibai accompanies him to the court. Gangadhar is surprised to see Tatya Dixit demanding justice. The priest reveals that Tatya Dixit miscalculated because he had referred to an old almanac. Sakhubai instantly says that if Gangadhar had consummated the marriage, he would've died.

Laxmibai is moved to see the pain in Tatya Dixit eyes when he congratulates the new royal priest. She tells Tatya that Gangadhar has only retired him from his services, but he can continue to advice the King on a personal note. Later, Laxmibai is deeply engrossed in praying to Lord Krishna when the accessories of the idol accidentally catch fire. Kashi comes in the nick of time and extinguishes the fire. Laxmibai asks Kashi to get new accessories. As soon as Kashi leaves, a new maid comes and hands over accessories to Laxmibai. When Laxmibai asks her identity, she claims to be the new maid and says that this idol of Lord Krishna has been given to her so that the heir of Jhansi is always protected. Ross and Malcolm, along with Sakhubai, Jankibai and Lacho plan to use a loyal servant of Gangadhar Rao as their pawn. They approach Gangadhar Rao and tell him that the Rajputs of Bundelkhand are terrorising and looting people, and so they have decided to take action against the dacoits.

Gangadhar Rao seeks the blessings of Tatya Dixit, before going to his chamber to meet Laxmibai. A priest tells the Prime Minister that Tatya Dixit's calculation regarding the auspicious time for the consummation of Gangadhar and Laxmibai's marriage is wrong and could cause disaster. The Prime Minister confronts Tatya Dixit regarding the same. Moropant too consults the religious almanac and agrees that the time is inappropriate. Moropant gets worried and asks the Prime Minister to stop Gangadhar. Sakhubai, Jankibai and Lacho are delighted. Unaware of these happenings, Laxmibai shows reluctance in getting intimate to Gangadhar, claiming that she is not mentally prepared yet. Tatya Dixit feels offended at the priest's allegation and decided to demand justice from the king. Gangadhar understands Laxmibai's situation and supports her. Gangadhar hears the bell ringing outside the palace and decides to hear out the woe of the complainant.

Raghunath feels humiliated when Gangadhar sends Tatya Tope instead of him. Laxmibai later meets him and explains that the British were planning to use him against his fellow Rajputs so that they can divide them and rule. Raghunath thanks Laxmibai for making him see the reality. Gangadhar is highly impressed with Laxmibai's intelligence and gives her the Nevalkar's Royal Sword which is a hereditary weapon of the family. Gangadhar says that he is sure she will hand over the Royal Sword to the heir of their family. Tatya Dixit conducts a `puja' for the bright future of Gangadhar and Laxmibai, during which Gangadhar's shawl accidentally catches fire. Jankibai comments that is an inauspicious omen. Tatya Dixit says that King faces a threat to his life for a certain period of time. Hence, Tatya chants a hymn for the well-being of the King. Laxmibai too prays in her chamber. Seeing Laxmibai engrossed in prayer, the new maid carefully looks at the entire chamber and notices the Royal Sword.

Sakhubai, Lacho and Jankibai discuss how their pawn would soon poison the tip of the sword that Laxmibai would use in the fight against Gangadhar. Meanwhile, Laxmibai notices footmarks of mud in her room. Interestingly, Raghunath too had washed his feet earlier because they were soiled in mud. When Sunder comes in, Laxmibai notices that her feet too are soiled. Laxmibai and Gangadhar begin their sword fight. However, Sunder interrupts and says that an ascetic at the palace door was willing to accept donations only from the queen. Laxmibai rushes to the palace gate and asks the ascetic what she wants. The ascetic demands the royal sword that Gangadhar had gifted her. She suggests that Laxmibai first purify the sword in milk before giving it away. However, Laxmibai is horrified to see the milk turn black after the sword is immersed in it. Sunder says that the sword must have been laced with poison.

Laxmibai is unable to trace the ascetic. A worried Laxmibai goes to meet Gangadhar but does not tell him the truth. When a black cat jumps out of Gangadhar's cupboard, her suspicion about a conspiracy gets confirmed. The royal physician tests the sword and says that it has been laced with poison. When he tells Laxmibai that he had used the book last in the palace, she realises that the conspirator is from the palace itself. She confronts Sakhubai, Lacho and Jankibai with a sword. They are terrified, so she asks them what's so dangerous about the sword. Laxmibai warns them not to ever harm Gangadhar. Meanwhile, Laxmibai confronts an unidentified man. On the other hand, Gangadhar waits for his queen in his court. Ross and Malcolm complain to Gangadhar that the situation in Bundelkhand has not been brought under control in spite of sending Tatya Tope.

Gangadhar is furious that his queen is missing. Sunder mentions that Laxmibai had earlier met the royal physician and later, she had met Jankibai, Sakhubai and Lacho and argued with them. The physician informs the king that the queen had summoned him to inquire about the sword being laced with poison. Gangadhar blames the Prime Minister and Raghunath for the lax in security. Sakhubai asks the man with his face covered where the queen is. When he says that she is not with him, Sakhubai wonders where the queen is. An old woman approaches Laxmibai and says that she is mother of the maid who gave her the message to reach the place. She gives her an anklet and says that it will protect her husband. Laxmibai returns to the palace in the middle of the night and spots a person near their chamber. However, the person escapes. Gangadhar assures her that they would fight all the conspiracies together, and that he would remain unharmed as long as she was with him.

Laxmibai wonders who the culprit is, and begins to doubt Raghunath, Tatya Dixit and Narsing Rao, the Prime Minister. Laxmibai calls them separately and says that she suspects the other two to be the conspirators. She asks each one to report any suspicious activity of the other two. Laxmibai also asks Sunder and Kashi to search the homes of the three men for any suspicious objects. The maids bring incriminating evidences from each of the three men's home, so Laxmibai wonders if all of them are involved. When Tatya Dixit informs her that someone is performing black magic on Gangadhar, she decides to get to the root of the issue. Laxmibai later receives a letter asking her to come to Goddess Kali's temple to know the truth about the conspiracies and the black magic being performed in the palace. Meanwhile, Sakhubai tells Lacho and Jankibai that while Gangadhar would be performing the religious ceremony at Lord Shiva's temple, a mishap would occur that would kill him.

Raghunath and the Prime Minister request Gangadhar separately to allow them to come to Lord Shiva's temple for the religious ceremony. Laxmibai decides to go Goddess Kali's temple and asks her maids to keep an eye on the king while she is away. Meanwhile, at Lord Shiva's temple, the rope to which the temple bell is attached catches fire, while Gangadhar stands below it to pray. On the other hand, a mysterious lady appears at Goddess Kali's temple and gives Laxmibai offerings. She advises her to pray to the sky and earth at Lord Shiva's temple. Laxmibai reaches the temple, and Gangadhar and she offer their prayers to the Lord. Laxmibai recalls what the mysterious lady had asked her to do, and when she looks up, she sees the temple bell falling on the king. She rushes towards him and pushes him. However, she gets hurt and collapses. Gangadhar tells Laxmibai that she must have known about the conspiracy beforehand, so he asks her who the culprit is.

Laxmibai decides not to tell Gangadhar anything until she gathers enough proof against the conspirators, so she says that even she does not know who they are, and that she only happened to see the bell falling on him. Tatya Dixit gets medicines for Laxmibai, but Gangadhar wants it tested first. When Gangadhar is satisfied, he asks Tatya Dixit to give his queen the medicine. However, Tatya Dixit pours medicine from another pouch into the milk, and Laxmibai drinks it. Gangadhar tells Laxmibai that he is going to Lord Shiva's temple so that the evidences are not tampered with. Gangadhar inspects the burnt rope in the temple and investigates the cause. Tatya Dixit apologises to Laxmibai for the untoward incident as he was in charge of the ceremony. Meanwhile, Sakhubai and her accomplices hope that this time their pawn would not miss his target.Tatya Dixit assures the conspiring ladies that he has personally administered poison to Laxmibai, and she would not be able to save the king now.

Sakhubai and her accomplices monitor Malcolm's men placing spears on the riverbed so that Gangadhar would get killed when he would come to bathe in the pond. On the other hand, Tatya Dixit visits the queen. He tells the king that her condition is deteriorating and it could be result of someone performing black magic on her. He advises the king to cleanse himself in the pond and perform a ritual so that she improves. On his way out, many pouches fall from Tatya Dixit's bag. Laxmibai realises that all of them look the same and that he must have used another pouch while testing for poison. The queen tries her best to alert the king but is unable to speak. The king leaves to go to the pond with Tatya Dixit. Laxmibai recalls the mysterious lady warning her to save Gangadhar from water and fire.

The mysterious lady goes to Motibai and tells her that Laxmibai is serious as she appears to have consumed something poisonous. She returns to Laxmibai's chamber and urges Laxmibai to get up and save the king. Motibai arrives just then with a flower that brings Laxmibai to her consciousness. When Raghunath and the Prime Minister hear that the king has left from the secret exit, both of them think that the other one is the conspirator. A fight ensues and they then realise that Tatya Dixit is the culprit. Meanwhile, Tatya Dixit tells the king that he must jump into the pond and come to the temple after that. Tatya Dixit then goes to Goddess Kali's temple and performs black magic. Laxmibai gallops on her horse to reach her husband, while he readies himself to jump into the pond.

Raghunath and the Prime Minister go to help Gangadhar. The mysterious lady prays for the king and queen's well-being, and throws the glass lamp in frustration. The lamp breaks into pieces. At the same time, Gangadhar steps on a piece of glass and his foot starts to bleed. Tatya Dixit continues to perform black magic and demands Gangadhar's blood! Meanwhile, Gangadhar removes the glass piece and moves ahead for the plunge. She is shocked to see Laxmibai approaching towards Gangadhar and warning him just in time not to jump. A stunned Malcolm orders his men to attack Gangadhar and Laxmibai. The two fight the soldiers, and Laxmibai reveals to Gangadhar that his trusted confidante, Tatya Dixit, is one of the conspirators involved in having him killed. Laxmibai and Gangadhar escape on a horse but Malcolm orders his men to follow them. A furious Malcolm comes to Goddess Kali's temple and stabs Tatya Dixit because his plan had failed.

Tatya Dixit confesses his crime to Raghunath and the Prime Minister, and says that Gangadhar and Laxmibai are in danger. However, he passes out before telling the names of the conspirators. Raghunath and the Prime Minister set out with troops to find the king and queen. Meanwhile, Gangadhar and Laxmibai take refuge in an abandoned temple. Gangadhar thanks Laxmibai for saving his life innumerable times. Gangadhar and Laxmibai finally consummate their marriage as Raghunath, the Prime Minister and their men battle Malcolm's soldiers bravely outside the temple. Raghunath and the Prime Minister get badly injured and collapse. Meanwhile, Malcolm, seething with rage over his failure to kill Gangadhar and Laxmibai, decides to burn their palace.

Gangadhar thanks Laxmibai again. She tells Gangadhar how a woman had come in the guise of a maid and an ascetic, and saved her many times. Meanwhile, Malcolm also sets the temple in which Gangadhar and Laxmibai are hiding, on fire. This time too, the same woman who has her face covered appears and guides them to safety. Seeing Gangadhar and Laxmibai coming out of the temple, Malcolm and his officer aim their guns at them. Just then, a gravely injured Tatya Dixit foils their attempt but gets shot. The officers escape. Laxmibai requests Gangadhar to have Tatya Dixit's last rites done with full honours. Later, Laxmibai describes to the artist the woman who had saved her several times. The artist sketches her portrait. Moropant arrives just then to welcome Gangadhar and Laxmibai. He is stunned seeing the portrait.

Moropant is dumbfounded seeing the portrait. He can't believe that the artist has sketched the portrait of Bhagirathi, his deceased first wife and Laxmibai's mother. When Moropant refuses to believe her, Laxmibai shows him her anklets that the lady had given her. Moropant, Gangadhar and Laxmibai are surprised at this divine happening. Indu pays a surprise visit to Laxmibai with her little son, Siddesh. Siddesh becomes the object of Laxmibai's affection. Gangadhar is pleased and wonders when Laxmibai will have a child of her own. Meanwhile, Ross, the British officer who had shot Tatya Dixit gets worried that his name would get exposed in front of Gangadhar. They reach Gangadhar's court and tell him that they suspect the Rajputs are behind the attack. However, a sharp Gangadhar says that 'R' could also refer to Ross. Ross gets worried hearing his name.

Ross tells Gangadhar that he will gather evidences to prove his accusation against the Rajputs. Just then, Raghunath enters the court and says that the differences between Brahmins and Rajputs have been resolved, and they have agreed to make Samar Singh their Chief. Ross mentions to Malcolm at the Commissionerate that he is afraid Gangadhar suspects him. Nelson arrives then, and in a shocking turn of events, stabs Ross to death. Meanwhile, Samar Singh thanks Laxmibai in Gangadhar's court for transforming a bandit like him, and presents Gangadhar with the flag of his army. In turn, Gangadhar presents Samar with a gold chain having a pendant of the sun. However, one of villagers is jealous with Samar Singh's prosperity. Samar invites the king for his younger sister's wedding but Gangadhar apologises for not being able to attend because of a meeting in Jodhpur and says that Laxmibai would grace the occasion. Later, Nelson finally comes face to face with Laxmibai.

The Prime Minister voices his concern about the outcome of Samar's arrest to Gangadhar. Gangadhar asks him to send Raghunath to look into the security at Samar's village. Nelson and Malcolm unleash terror on the villagers, so Samar reveals his identity, but the villagers fight bravely against the British. Nelson then holds the groom at knifepoint, so Samar goes to fight but is held back by the British soldiers. Samar surrenders but Nelson kills the groom. Laxmibai arrives just then and warns Malcolm not to even touch Samar Singh, so he shows her the arrest warrant signed by Gangadhar. Laxmibai is shocked. The mayhem unnerves Laxmibai and Tatya Tope. An elder lady accuses Gangadhar for getting Samar arrested and blames him for treason! She curses that even Gangadhar will pine for his child someday! Laxmibai vows by her motherland that Nelson will have to pay for this bloodshed, and that she would free Samar and Karma.

Laxmibai is upset to know that Samar Singh and Karma have been arrested as per Gangadhar's order. Gangadhar is informed that Lord Dalhousie wants him to attend a meeting in Gwalior. When Laxmibai gets ready to return to her palace, she feels a little faint. However, she manages to reach the palace and learns that Gangadhar has left for Gwalior. Dalhousie warns Gangadhar that as per the Doctrine of Lapse, Jhansi would soon go to the East India Company because he did not have an heir. However, Gangadhar assures him that his queen was capable of managing Jhansi, in the event of his death. Dalhousie taunts about a woman running his kingdom, so Gangadhar reminds Dalhousie that even his queen is a woman! Nelson admits to a furious Laxmibai that Samar did not kill Ross; he did. Just then, he receives a court order and informs Laxmibai that Samar Singh and Karma would be hanged unto death. Laxmibai collapses hearing the news.

The royal physician announces that the queen is pregnant. Everyone is thrilled. However, he advises Indu to make sure that the queen gets as much rest as possible because she is anaemic. Meanwhile, in Gwalior, Lord Dalhousie warns Gangadhar to solve the problem involving Samar Singh, else Jhansi would be annexed, but Gangadhar assures him that all problems would be tackled. Bhagirathi appears again before Laxmibai and tells her that she is pregnant. Laxmibai is delighted. Bhagirathi advises her to abide by her duties as a wife and a queen because she has great responsibilities now. In the midst of the meeting, Gangadhar gets a letter informing him that Laxmibai is pregnant. Gangadhar proudly announces to Dalhousie that Jhansi will soon have an heir. Dalhousie is dismayed. Back in Jhansi, it is announced that Samar Singh and Karma would be killed in a cannon blast the next afternoon.

Laxmibai manages to release Samar Singh and Karma, and they thank her. She tells Samar that they must seek revenge for the injustices inflicted on the villagers and absolve the king of the blame. Laxmibai kisses her lucky charm tied on her wrist. Kashi, disguised as the queen, informs a shocked Indu and Chimnabai that Laxmibai has gone to save Samar and Karma. Meanwhile, Nelson informs Malcolm that the man in disguise was none other than Laxmibai. Nelson vows to prove that Laxmibai is not a queen but a bandit, and this would disgrace the king as well. Meanwhile, Samar, Karma and Laxmibai speed on a bullock cart to the palace but Nelson, who is chasing them, shoots Samar and Karma. The cart gets stuck in slush and the frightened bullocks free themselves and run away. Laxmibai gets down and tries to pull out the cart herself. The good luck charm given to her to protect her pregnancy falls down.

Samar Singh and Karma, burdened with grief and guilt, are unable to tell the queen the truth. Tatya Tope arrives later, and Samar Singh and Karma break the news to him. Tatya Tope is heartbroken. Meanwhile, Nelson rejoices at his success as he is certain that Laxmibai must have surely had a miscarriage. Nelson writes to Fort William to have a battalion sent to Jhansi because of the prevalent anarchy. Fort William accepts Nelson's request and also assures him of a promotion. Meanwhile, Gangadhar arrives in the village to take Laxmibai home. He is upset with her, but when he sees her, he smiles. Daima enters just then and praises the king for being so brave and understanding in spite of such a great tragedy. She says that the queen would have trouble conceiving a second time. Daima realises that the king and queen are not aware about the miscarriage. Gangadhar and Laxmibai are devastated at the news. Gangadhar accuses Laxmibai for the loss and walks away in anger.

Laxmibai tries to convince Gangadhar about her innocence but he walks away in fury. When he returns to the palace, he is upset at the welcome. Laxmibai too comes to the palace and informs Moropant and Chimnabai about her miscarriage. Moropant accuses her of betraying Gangadhar's trust as a queen and a wife. He warns her to mend her ways at least now. Laxmibai pleads with Gangadhar to forgive her but he accuses her of only wanting to be a warrior, not a mother. He says that she would have even made her child as selfish as her. He then gives her an ultimatum ' she should remain either a queen and a warrior, or a wife and a mother. Gangadhar declares that, henceforth, they would stay in separate chambers. Laxmibai is shattered with his announcement.

Indu tries to stop Siddesh who keeps crying to meet the king but Gangadhar does not heed even the cries of a child. Laxmibai removes all her ornaments and wears a black sari. On the other hand, thoughts of allegations from his subjects for not providing an heir, and of Dalhousie asking him where the heir was, overwhelm the king. Gangadhar tells Moropant that Laxmibai could not be a good wife, a good mother or a good queen. Moropant apologises to Gangadhar and asks him to remarry. Meanwhile, Laxmibai's depression turns into hysteria. She then climbs the 'malkhamb' pole to find an answer to the king's ultimatum. On the other hand, Nelson writes a letter to Gangadhar informing him that an English battalion would be arriving in Jhansi soon. Back in the village, the midwife pleads with Karma and Samar to find a remedy for the queen's plight.

Samar waits for Laxmibai's order but she tells him that she has vowed to be only a mother, not a warrior. Samar tries to dissuade her but she remains firm and asks him to tackle matters peacefully. Gangadhar reads Nelson's letter informing him about the arrival of British battalion in Jhansi because of the poor law and order situation in Jhansi. Nelson then reminds the king of how Laxmibai rescued the prisoners from British custody in spite of Gangadhar's orders to arrest them. Gangadhar is embarrassed and questions Tatya Tope about Nelson's allegations. Tatya Tope informs Gangadhar about the mayhem in Samar's village, and how Nelson had violated Gangadhar's order.

Laxmibai decides to leave the palace but her alter ego reminds her to stand by her husband through thick and thin, and asks her to understand Gangadhar's plight. Meanwhile, Gangadhar asks the Prime Minister to inform Nelson that he will personally inspect the battalion. On the other hand, Samar and Karma gather materials to make handmade explosives. Daima hears about Samar and Karma's plan and tells Laxmibai about it. A worried Laxmibai decides to inform the king but is told that he has left to inspect the new battalion. Looking at the arms and ammunition, Gangadhar asks Nelson whether the battalion is here to protect Jhansi or capture it. Just then, Samar orders his men to throw the bombs. Laxmibai reaches the spot and informs Gangadhar about Samar and Karma's plans.

Nelson tortures Samar and Karma, and drags them through the streets of Jhansi to warn people about the consequence of challenging the British rule. Meanwhile, an Englishman, John Lang, keeps writing about the peaceful protests in India in his newspaper - The Mofussilite. Laxmibai too gets to hear about it. On the festive occasion of `Raksha Bandhan', Laxmibai gives Nelson the permission letter to meet her brothers. She is horrified to see Samar and Karma badly tortured and vows to have them freed soon. Nelson is furious reading John's articles praising the Indians, especially Laxmibai, so he flings it. Laxmibai picks it and Nelson taunts her about being uneducated. However, Malcolm and he are stunned to hear her speak in impeccable English.

Nelson bribes Samar Singh with freedom by asking him to confess about Laxmibai's role in releasing him. However, Samar spits on Nelson. Nelson continues to torture Samar and Karma so much that they collapse. Laxmibai meets John Lang for the first time. She requests John to save Samar and Karma, and John agrees. John says that he needs secrecy and privacy, so Laxmibai replies that he would get it in her palace but only after seeking her king's permission. On the other hand, Gangadhar asks Raghunath to find out where Laxmibai has gone with Tatya Tope, and why. The subjects of Jhansi voice their grievances about the injustices inflicted by the new battalion, and about Jhansi being in deeper trouble because Gangadhar lacks an heir. Gangadhar promises to look into their problems personally. When he sees Laxmibai outside, he taunts her again about only Samar and Karma being everything to her. Laxmibai gets upset. She orders Tatya Tope to bring John to the palace at the earliest.

When a British officer tries to kill a little boy, John manages to save him at the nick of time. John and the officer have a verbal duel. John threatens to take him to King Gangadhar's court. Laxmibai tries to explain that with Lang's help they will be able to free Samar Singh and Karma using the legal procedures of the British. Gangadhar tells her that they should be punished as they tried to blow up the British battalion in his presence. Laxmibai vows that not a single Englishman would remain in Jhansi, and even the new battalion would leave it! Laxmibai promises him that as long as she is alive, no harm would befall Jhansi. Meanwhile, John prepares a case against the atrocities of Nelson. Queen Laxmibai signs the documents. John narrates to Laxmibai how Nelson had destroyed his life as well. Hearing that Samar Singh and Karma are still alive, Nelson decides to burn them alive. However, Laxmibai arrives just then and warns Nelson to stop.

When Nelson sees that it's John fighting Laxmibai's case, he reminds John about his license to practise law being revoked for 2 years. However, John retorts that the ban period was already over. Left with no choice, Nelson stops torturing Samar and Karma and asks his men to take them to their cell. Sakhubai, Jankibai and Lacho display fake concern and advise Gangadhar to remarry so that Jhansi is assured of an heir. Gangadhar gets furious and retorts that Jhansi will soon have an heir. Daima tells Gangadhar that if given healthy food and taken proper care of, the queen will be able to beget an heir soon. However, Gangadhar orders John to leave the palace at once. Laxmibai promises Gangadhar that they will win the case but Gangadhar replies that his decision remains firm. Not the one to give up easily, Laxmibai rings the bell to seek justice from the king and compels him to hear her plea.

Laxmibai voices her plea to Gangadhar. She narrates the kind of mayhem that was unleashed by the British at Samar's sister's wedding, and the chain of events from that moment on till date. How the British had conspired at every step against Jhansi. Laxmibai demands justice from the King of Jhansi. However, he merely walks away without answering. Laxmibai is hurt and disappointed at his lack of trust in her. Gangadhar informs Raghunath that he will be setting off on a secretive journey. Laxmibai is surprised to hear that the king has gone away without even informing her. Moropant tells her that Gangadhar must have gone to remarry. Laxmibai is distraught hearing this and says that she doesn't deserve to stay in the palace anymore. However, she vows to remove the British battalion from Jhansi before leaving, even if it meant stepping over a queen's limits.

Laxmibai tells Moropant that she did her duty as a queen when she saved Samar and Karma. Moropant chides her that she should have waited for Tatya Tope to free Samar and Karma. Laxmibai tells her father that she is equally shattered on losing her unborn child as any other mother would be. Laxmibai laments that Gangadhar has gone to remarry as he does not love or trust her anymore. Gangadhar is haunted by Laxmibai's pleas for justice. In the court proceedings against Samar and Karma, the lawyer builds a strong case. John Lang demands judicial custody of Samar and Karma. Samar and Karma thank Laxmibai. Laxmibai tells them that she will never let anything happen to them as they have to drive out the British battalion from Jhansi. Nelson meets the jailor and makes an evil plan.

She thinks that Gangadhar has gone to find himself a new wife. Gangadhar meets Lord Dalhousie to free Samar Singh and Karma.

The judge pronounces the verdict that Samar Singh be hanged until death for the murder of Captain Ross. While being taken to the prison Karma pleads to Nelson to hang him instead of Samar Singh. The shrewd Nelson offers to toss a coin to decide between Samar and Karma. Nelson taunts Laxmibai but she tells him that only time will prove who has won. The people hail Samar Singh.

She tells Gangadhar that he should have an heir to protect Jhansi as the British do not consider adopted children as legal heirs. Hirabai taunts Laxmibai for not having the heir of Jhansi yet.

Hirabai tells Laxmibai that the British will annex Jhansi if there is no heir soon. Nelson tries to complain to Lord Dalhousie that Ellis is not following the British policy.

Laxmibai tells Moropant that to save Jhansi from the British, she has decided that Jhansi will have an heir and for that Gangadhar will have to remarry. Nelson visits Gangadhar and tells him that Satara and Sambalpur were annexed as there was no heir in those states. Nelson tells that he is sure that Jhansi will definitely get an heir. Gangadhar tells him not to worry about Jhansi. Gangadhar tells Nelson that he is busy organizing a chess tournament with the statesmen of the other states. Nelson tells that he can even defeat Gangadhar in the game of chess. Laxmibai challenges him to a game of chess.

Gangadhar is shocked when Laxmibai asks him to marry again to give Jhansi an heir. Gangadhar is against remarrying. Laxmibai tries to reason with Gangadhar that Jhansi needs an heir. Laxmibai tries to commits suicide as Gangadhar refuses to marry again. Gangadhar stops her. Gangadhar goes to Motibai. Motibai is worried that Gangadhar is drowning himself in alcohol. He tells Motibai that Laxmibai has asked him to get remarried and that she was ready to sacrifice her life for Jhansi. Gangadhar agrees to marry again provided Laxmibai selects the bride and looks into the marriage preparations too. Laxmibai announces in the court about Gangadhar's second marriage and that she will select a bride for Gangadhar. Everyone is shocked.

Laxmibai announces in the court about Gangadhar's second marriage and that she will select a bride for Gangadhar. Everyone is shocked. Even the people of Jhansi are shocked. Hirabai tells Laxmibai to get used to living away from Gangadhar. Lord Dalhousie gets very angry when he hears about Gangadhar's marriage. He orders Nelson to stop the marriage. Nelson assures Dalhousie that all this is according to their plan and that the new queen will be a puppet in their hands. Gangadhar is distressed when he sees all the proposals that have come for him. Laxmibai interviews the proposals that have come and rejects all of them. Hirabai tells Laxmibai that she is rejecting the proposals as she does not want to get Gangadhar married. Laxmibai and the royal ladies attend the immersion festival of Lord Ganesha. While playing around the lake, Siddesh accidently falls in it. Laxmibai tries to rescue him but her legs get stuck in the sand.

Ganga saves Siddesh from drowning in the lake. While coming out of the lake, Ganga slips back into the water. Gangadhar saves Ganga from drowning. Laxmibai feels that Ganga is the right bride for Gangadhar. Laxmibai asks the royal physician if Ganga is physically fit to become a mother. Laxmibai asks Ganga about her birth time and place. With this information, she visits the priest who tells Laxmibai that Ganga's horoscope matched with that of Gangadhar Rao and the earliest that they could marry was within ten days. Jankibai and Nelson are tensed as they don't understand what Laxmibai was up to. Ganga is distressed when Laxmibai asks her if she would like to become a queen. Ganga collides with Gangadhar when she runs away. Gangadhar is shocked when Laxmibai tells him that she wants Ganga to be the queen of Jhansi.

Laxmibai convinces Gangadhar Rao that Ganga is fit to become the queen of Jhansi. Gangadhar Rao remains unconvinced and points out that Ganga is not from a royal family. Laxmibai counters him by telling him that even she did not hail from a prominent family. But Gangadhar walks away. Moropant tries to console Laxmibai. Laxmibai tells Daima that she seriously wants Ganga to become the queen of Jhansi. Laxmibai convinces Ganga to accept the proposal. Laxmibai is happy when Ganga accepts. Laxmibai announces in the court that Ganga will be Gangadhar's bride. While announcing to the court about the new queen, Laxmibai faints. Daima discovers that Laxmibai is actually pregnant. Daima comes to know that the royal physician and Jankibai have conspired to hide Laxmibai's pregnancy for their own selfish plans. Jankibai warns Daima not to speak about it to anyone.

Jankibai offers Daima wealth to keep her mouth shut. Daima refuses to be party to Jankibai's crimes. Jankibai threatens to harm Ganga if she does not comply. Daima gets angry and slaps Jankibai. But Daima dares not speak before Gangadhar. Gangadhar is very upset that Laxmibai is not well. Ganga walks in Laxmibai's room. Gangadhar gets furious at her. Ganga gets nervous and accidentally breaks the statue of Laxmibai made by Gangadhar. Jankibai locks up Daima in the dungeon and threatens to ruin Ganga if she ever tries to speak the truth. Gangadhar gets angry on Ganga again when she disrupts his archery practice. Ganga pleads to Gangadhar that she is not worthy of becoming his queen. She begs Gangadhar not to marry her. Gangadhar tells Ganga that she can never take Laxmibai's place. Laxmibai is pleased to see Gangadhar and Ganga talk to each other.

Laxmibai introduces Ganga to the people of Jhansi. The people are shocked to know this. Nelson refers to Ganga as the queen of Jhansi and taunts Laxmibai indirectly. He expresses his hope that the future queen will comply with the wishes of the British. Ganga imagines herself being hailed as the Queen of Jhansi. Jankibai taunts Ganga to stop imagining. Jankibai tells Ganga that Laxmibai is pregnant. Ganga wants to give the news to Laxmibai. Jankibai tells Ganga that her grandmother, Daima, is in captivity and advices her to do as Jankibai bids her. Jankibai takes Ganga to the dungeon where Daima is held captive. Daima tells Ganga to remember the favors bestowed by Laxmibai on them. She tells Ganga to tell the truth to Laxmibai about her pregnancy. Jankibai tempts Ganga with the opulence that she will miss if she speaks the truth. Ganga is caught in a dilemma.

Ganga promises Daima that she will stand by Laxmibai and tell her the truth. Laxmibai tells Hirabai that she will let Ganga her wedding sari. Hirabai tells her not to do so. Laxmibai replies that she is going to share Gangadhar so it is better that she share the wedding attire too. Hirabai praises her sacrifice for Jhansi. Jankibai threatens to kill Daima if Ganga does not do as she is told. Laxmibai is busy with the prenuptial ceremony while Ganga is still caught in the dilemma. Gangadhar refuses to go through the whole prenuptial ceremony. Jankibai tells Ganga that Gangadhar should never get an heir. Laxmibai and Hirabai overhear Jankibai trying to tell something to Ganga. Hirabai warns Jankibai not to cross the path of Queen Laxmibai. Laxmibai asks Ganga about Daima.

Ganga is in a dilemma when Laxmibai asks her about Daima. Ganga is moved by Laxmibai's goodness. Laxmibai feels nauseated when she is performing the rituals. Moropant prays to the Gods to protect Laxmibai. Sunder goes to fetch the royal physician as Laxmibai is not feeling well. The royal physician gives Sunder poison to terminate her pregnancy. Sunder makes Laxmibai drink the poison assuming it to be medicine. Laxmibai drinks the potion. Laxmibai dreams of a child pleading her to save him. Jankibai rewards the royal physician and asks him to leave the kingdom. Laxmibai vomits the potion. Indu is concerned about Laxmibai's health. Gangadhar tells Laxmibai that they can adopt a son, but Laxmibai insists that Jhansi will get an heir through Gangadhar. Gangadhar insists that Laxmibai should be present at all the rituals of the wedding otherwise he will call off the wedding. Laxmibai promises to be at Gangadhar's side throughout the wedding.

Laxmibai convinces Gangadhar Rao to carryout the ceremonies. She inscribes Ganga's name on Gangadhar Rao's hands with henna. Laxmibai helps Ganga get ready as a bride. Ganga is moved by Laxmibai's generosity. Indu and the other ladies of the court are moved by Laxmibai's sacrifice. Ganga is saddened when the design of henna on her hand is of a light colour as it signifies that her husband does not love her. Gangadhar meets Ganga and thanks her for accepting the proposal. But he tells Ganga that he will never love her as only Laxmibai is his only love. Ganga's conscience asks her to speak the truth about Laxmibai's pregnancy. She decides not to marry Gangadhar but Jankibai tells Ganga to think about the grandeur and splendor of becoming a queen. Ganga is lured by the greed of becoming a queen. Laxmibai dresses up Ganga with her own ornaments. Ganga is led to the wedding alter by Laxmibai.

A furious Laxmibai asks Shyam Chaudhary and the other treacherous traders to leave Jhansi for supporting the British and not protecting their motherland. Shyam Chaudhary apologises to her and promises to lend her his support. Moropant tells Laxmibai that Anand needs to perform a ritual and be cleansed with Holy Water. When the ritual gets completed, Moropant and the others are shocked to see that Anand is missing. A worried Moropant informs Laxmibai that Anand is missing. Hamilton, who arrives in Jhansi, sees Anand alone and crying in the forest. He realises that Anand is the Prince of Jhansi. Later, the East India Company flag is hoisted at the Commissionerate by Hamilton. Just then, he sees Anand crying and his dogs barking at Anand. Meanwhile, Laxmibai pleads with her subjects to help her find Anand. Ellis too promises to trace Anand. The wicked Hamilton decides to set his dogs loose on Anand.

Ellis arrives at the nick of time and rescues Anand from Hamilton's dogs. Hamilton introduces himself as the Special Political Agent of Jhansi. Hamilton accuses Ellis of not annexing Jhansi and promises to set things right now. Meanwhile, Laxmibai is delighted to hear that Anand is safe. Ellis then informs Laxmibai about Hamilton and his motive to create problems because the throne of Jhansi was now empty. After hearing about Hamilton from Ellis, Laxmibai decides to hold a coronation ceremony for Anand. He is renamed Damodar Rao Nevalkar and crowned the king. Hamilton informs her that the East India Company has refused to accept the adoption as legal, and that's why as per the Doctrine of Lapse, Jhansi would be annexed. She vows not to ever give Jhansi away. Ellis then tells Hamilton that the Queen of England had the right to reject Lord Dalhousie's new order, and that Laxmibai could challenge it.

When Laxmibai talks about war, Hamilton mocks her about her inferior weapons compared with the might of East India Company, but she warns him that every child in Jhansi would fight the British and drive them out. Shyam Chaudhary arrives then and declares that the traders would sacrifice everything they have to protect their motherland. Keeping the impending implementation of the Charter Act in mind, Lord Dalhousie realises that he cannot afford to take a wrong step, so he decides to appeal against Laxmibai instead. Laxmibai hires her trusted lawyer and confidante, John Lang, to fight her case in England. Three years pass by, and there is still no verdict about the case. On the other hand, the East India Company continues to create havoc and annex Bundelkhand and other weaker states so that they are unable to help Jhansi.

Lord Dalhousie gets anxious hearing about the revolt arising in his army, so he decides to use the enmity between the neighbouring states of Orchha and Jhansi to his advantage. Hamilton asks him to fuel the bitterness between Ladai Sarkar, the Queen of Orchha and Laxmibai. Meanwhile, John Lang informs Laxmibai that the Queen of England has rejected her appeal, so Laxmibai willingly accepts the verdict and promises that a united India would create a revolt that would drive the British out of India. However, she is disheartened to see the malfunctioning ammunitions in Jhansi and is informed that Ghaus Khan makes the best cannonballs. On the other hand, while Ghaus Khan fires the cannon to test it, Hamilton watches him and quietly puts a part of the wreckage inside the Orchha border.

The King of Datia welcomes the royal members to the game and thanks Ladai Sarkar and Laxmibai for participating. Ladai Sarkar gets furious when the spectators assure Laxmibai that she will emerge victorious again. She vows to have the flag of Orchha fly high this time. The game begins and the two queens take a different route. During the course of the game, Laxmibai tries to broker peace but Ladai Sarkar vows not to befriend Laxmibai because the Nevalkar family had betrayed Orchha. Laxmibai tries to convince her to return Ghaus Khan but Ladai Sarkar asks her to return Jhansi to her! Laxmibai then tells her that it was a ploy by the British to annex not just Jhansi but Orchha as well.

The two queens prod away on separate ways, and a scream is then heard. Meanwhile, in Jhansi, Raghunath informs his army that Laxmibai has been held captive by Ladai Sarkar and readies them for a war against Orchha and its queen. The informant tells Nelson about the turn of events. Nelson is happy. When Hamilton informs Nathey Khan, who is like a brother to Ladai Sarkar as well as the commander of her army, about the unfolding events, he is surprised at the irresponsibility of his sister to take on the mighty Laxmibai. Just then, he is informed that Ladai Sarkar's life may be in danger and she may have been held captive by enemies. Hamilton instigates Nathey Khan against the King of Datia for joining hands with Laxmibai. Nathey Khan readies his army for a battle against the King of Datia. Hamilton is happy.

Raghunath and Tatya Tope release Ghaus Khan from prison. Back at the playground, the spectators laud Ladai Sarkar when they see her approaching the finishing line. However, her happiness is short-lived when she hears Laxmibai tell her that she was carrying the flag of Jhansi! Laxmibai emerges as the winner and she posts the flags of Jhansi and Orchha on the finishing line. She tells the King of Datia that her motive was to have a united India to drive the British away. Hamilton arrives then and informs Ladai Sarkar that Tatya Tope had entered the palace of Orchha with his battalion. Ladai Sarkar is enraged with Laxmibai for betraying Orchha once again and declares war. Laxmibai tries to explain to Hamilton that the British want to create internal enmity, and urges Ladai Sarkar to join forces against them.

Ladai Sarkar tells everyone that Jhansi and Orchha were united now. Hamilton asks Ladai Sarkar to check out the truth in Orchha, so she slaps him and has him arrested. Laxmibai promises him that there would soon be a day when all of India would unite and he'd have to run! Laxmibai prays that Raghunath and Tatya Tope are in Jhansi and not in Orchha. Ladai Sarkar takes Laxmibai to her ancestral temple and narrates tales about her lineage. Back in Jhansi, Moropant is shocked to learn that Laxmibai and Ladai Sarkar have become friends, so he senses a conspiracy. Meanwhile, Ladai Sarkar takes Laxmibai near her palace and orders that she be arrested! Ladai Sarkar warns her that Jhansi will once again belong to Orchha. Laxmibai is stunned at being betrayed.

Nelson sends Laxmibai to her cell. On the other hand, Hamilton vows to annex Orchha along with Jhansi to seek vengeance for getting slapped by Ladai Sarkar. Meanwhile, Ladai Sarkar calls for Laxmibai to be presented in court. She taunts Laxmibai that she could make the British as well as her dance to her tune, and that the British would give her their army if she needed. Ladai Sarkar then goes to burn the flag of Jhansi but Laxmibai retorts that the flag belonged not just to Jhansi but to entire India. Laxmibai then jumps on the burning flag and salvages it. She accuses Ladai Sarkar of becoming a queen only after being the lackey of the British. Laxmibai also accuses her of being a coward. Ladai Sarkar then accepts Laxmibai's challenge for a battle.

Laxmibai and Ladai Sarkar address their respective armies and goad them to fight the enemy, although with stark different perspectives. A fierce battle ensues between Orchha and Jhansi. One of Orchha's soldiers throws a spear at Laxmibai and she falls from her horse. Laxmibai is held captive. She then recalls Anand preparing her for the battle and asking her to return victorious. Laxmibai fights back with renewed vigour. However, the enemy traps her into falling in a pit. To her surprise, she sees Acharya come to her rescue. The battle again continues and by sunset it is declared that Laxmibai's army is the winner for the day. Laxmibai reminds Ladai Sarkar that she must release one of her jailed warriors. Raghunath Singh is released and he thanks her. A furious Ladai Sarkar tells her confidantes that they must win the war, by fair means or unfair!

Laxmibai's aim was to win the battle without deceit, and was more worried about the role the British would play in this fight. However, Ellis assures her that the East India Company would not interfere in the battle unless Ladai Sarkar had other plans. Meanwhile, Hamilton refuses to help Ladai Sarkar and warns her that Orchha and she will be ruined. Laxmibai sends Rao Dulajo to ensure that Ladai Sarkar too would not seek any help from the British and asks Ellis to be the witness. Ellis leaves the Orchha palace after getting the document signed by Ladai Sarkar. Ladai Sarkar orders that Rao Dulajo be duly entertained. In a drunken state, Rao Dulajo confides to the courtesan about the Adivasi tribes' poisonous arrows which Laxmibai refused to take but could destroy an entire army.

The battle begins, and Laxmibai's first line of men fall prey to the deadly arrows used by Ladai Sarkar, so she orders her second line of soldiers to attack the enemy. However, their arrows fail to hurt the enemy, so Laxmibai bravely wards off their arrow. Just then, Laxmibai's Women's Army arrive to fight. When Raghunath sees his soldiers dying one by one, he pleads with Laxmibai not to put her life in danger. The Prime Minister too pleads with her. Just then, the bugle is blown, and a triumphant Ladai Sarkar announces that victory was hers today! Laxmibai is devastated to see the dead bodies of her soldiers. As per the conditions laid, Ladai Sarkar orders that Tatya Tope be brought to her to be killed. When the cremation of the soldiers is on, Laxmibai recalls Bandu talking about the fatal arrows.

Rao Dulajo tells Laxmibai and her confidantes that Nathey Khan is the bravest of the soldiers and it would be tough to capture him. Laxmibai says that her motive was only to end the war, and for that, all she needed was Ladai Sarkar, dead or alive. She declares that victory would be theirs the next day. Laxmibai and Ladai Sarkar engage in a fierce fight and Laxmibai overpowers her. However, the latter manages to escape. She holds Nathey Khan captive and promises him that he would fight for Jhansi now! She warns him that when the commander is held captive, the morale of its soldiers gets shaken. Nathey Khan threatens that Ladai Sarkar will never bow or get defeated. Laxmibai vows to have his illusion broken the next day. Nathey Khan says that she cannot harm him because Tatya Tope was in a prison in Orchha.

Ladai Sarkar gets furious with Tatya Tope for slapping her. She orders that he be imprisoned. An enraged Tatya Tope taunts her that Laxmibai can win the battle without him but she cannot win it without Nathey Khan! Ladai Sarkar then goes to Hamilton to seek the help of the British Army. He refuses and says that he had warned her against fighting Laxmibai. Ladai Sarkar reminds him that Laxmibai was the only woman who had shaken the East India Company, so even he wanted Laxmibai defeated. Ladai Sarkar seeks gunpowder from him in huge amounts. Meanwhile, in Jhansi, Damodar refuses to eat anything from Moropant's hand. At Laxmibai's camp, a messenger from Orchha reads a letter from Ladai Sarkar for Laxmibai saying that she was willing to exchange Tatya Tope for Nathey Khan in the battlefield.

Acharya advises her to heed Damodar's wish and stay back. Her confidantes assure her that they would not only bring back Tatya Tope safely but break Ladai Sarkar's arrogance as well. Raghunath and the Prime Minister confront Ladai Sarkar in the battlefield and demand the release of Tatya Tope, and ask her to abide by the conditions laid. Tatya Tope and Nathey Khan start walking toward their respective camps when fire is lit near the ground filled with gunpowder. Ladai Sarkar gestures to Nathey Khan to run towards the galloping horse. Tatya Tope too runs but, unfortunately, steps on the ground covered with gunpowder and dies in the blast. Raghunath and the Prime Minister are shocked at his death. Acharya declares the end of the battle for the day.

Laxmibai is totally shattered to see Tatya Guru's dead body. She declares that she can no longer fight this battle. Rao Dulajo informs Ladai Sarkar that Laxmibai will not fight the battle anymore. Ladai Sarkar is delighted that she will be able to capture Jhansi soon, and invites Rao Dulajo for the celebrations. On the other hand, Ladai Sarkar vows to Tatya Tope that he will become the commander of her army, but he promises to sing praises only of Laxmibai. Ladai Sarkar then informs him that Laxmibai was mourning his death. However, Tatya Tope warns Ladai Sarkar that Laxmibai will surely come in search of him. Meanwhile, Laxmibai promises Acharya that Tatya Guru and she will write history in the battle the next day, because none other than Kranti Guru would rescue Tatya Guru!

When Laxmibai asks Acharya if she was being amoral in her strategy, he assures her that she must abide by the duty of a disciple. Laxmibai tells him that she will be taking a few members of the Women's Army and asks him to create a special chariot for her. Acharya and his disciples make a chariot with sharp spokes near its wheels. Meanwhile, Ladai Sarkar continues to torture Tatya Tope but he vows to confront her in the battlefield the next day! Laxmibai dons herself as Kranti Guru and leaves to save Tatya Guru. She promises a sleeping Damodar that she would free Tatya Guru by the next morning. Laxmibai sets out to achieve her mission with her Women's Army. On the other hand, at Ladai Sarkar's camp, celebrations are on, and Rao Dulajo too participates in it. Laxmibai lights torches along one side of the hill. Seeing this, a guard informs Nathey Khan that they are going to be attacked.

Nathey Khan orders his men to head towards the lit torches to fight the army from Jhansi. Laxmibai's Women's Army set the camp area aflame. Ladai Sarkar orders all her soldiers to attack, including those guarding Tatya Tope. Rao Dulajo decides to escape. Ladai Sarkar and Nathey Khan go in two different directions with their soldiers. Laxmibai threatens one of the soldiers near the camp to tell her where the prisoners were held. Kranti Guru sees Ghaus Khan and Bandu, and reveals her true identity to them. However, they say that they were not aware about Tatya Guru's whereabouts. She asks them to free the other prisoners, and then sets to fight the soldiers to search for Tatya Guru. Meanwhile, Tatya Guru gains consciousness and screams. On hearing this, Ladai Sarkar orders her men to head back to the tent.

Ladai Sarkar is desperate to find out about Laxmibai's strategy and enters the tent where Tatya Tope was held prisoner. She senses something beneath her feet and unearths an inscription of Goddess Durga. She tries to decode the drawing. Tatya Tope explains to Laxmibai and his confidantes the strategy for the next day. He asks his men to change the war tactics and not offer support to the queen. He says that their first aim would be to surround Ladai Sarkar. On the other hand, Ladai Sarkar manages to decipher the drawing and tells Nathey Khan about Jhansi's battle plans. She orders her men not to attack the warriors until Laxmibai was close to her. Ladai Sarkar explains her counter-strategies to them.

Ghaus Khan tells Tatya Tope that he needs to test the cannonballs before using it in the battle. A worried Laxmibai sees images of Gangadhar asking Damodar to wait and wonders why he's asking his son to wait. Laxmibai tells Tatya Tope about her nightmare. He assures that she and he would not let any harm befall Jhansi. Meanwhile, Rao Dulajo informs Nelson that only Moropant and Damodar were in the palace. Nelson gives Rao Dulajo a letter for Laxmibai supposedly written by Ellis. When on his way, Ellis sees a veiled woman crying but to his shock, masked men surround him. A fight ensues but Ellis gets hit on the head and he collapses. On the other hand, the British attack the soldiers inside the Jhansi Fort.

Tatya Guru allows Laxmibai to leave for Jhansi. Laxmibai tells him that she was entrusting her camp to him. Just then, Rao Dulajo come and informs her that all was well in Jhansi. Rao Dulajo shows her the letter apparently written by Ellis. Laxmibai asserts that her victory the next day would be Damodar's gift for his next birthday. Meanwhile, Ladai Sarkar discusses the next day's strategies with Hamilton and says that she will get back Jhansi. Ghaus Khan shows Laxmibai and her confidantes the power of the cannonballs created by him. At the break of dawn, Orchha and Jhansi armies assemble on the battlefield. Laxmibai tells her soldiers that she never wanted to wage a battle against fellow Indians but Ladai Sarkar compelled her to. On the other hand, Ladai Sarkar exhorts her soldiers to slay their enemies and if need be, even become martyrs.

Ladai Sarkar orders her men not to attack Laxmibai till she and her ten confidantes close in. When they do, Ladai Sarkar asks her soldiers to strike. Laxmibai and Ladai Sarkar's men fight. Laxmibai marches towards Ladai Sarkar and into her trap. A shocked Tatya Tope realises that Ladai Sarkar has used his own tactics and warns Laxmibai not to march ahead but it's too late because Ladai Sarkar's men surround Laxmibai. Ladai Sarkar and Laxmibai confront each other. Laxmibai and Ladai Sarkar have a war of words, with the former calling Ladai Sarkar a coward. Meanwhile, Tatya Tope summons Raghunath, Sunder, Bandu and Ghaus Khan. He says that they must change their strategy and divert the attention of the Orchha Army. Laxmibai fights with Ladai Sarkar and spares her again but Ladai Sarkar exhorts her soldiers to finish off Laxmibai! Nathey Khan and his men manage to surround her but just then, explosions occur and Laxmibai holds Nathey Khan captive.

When Hamilton reads Nelson's message that he has captured Jhansi, he is delighted and directs his army to head to Jhansi. Meanwhile, a triumphant Ladai Sarkar says that Jhansi would soon belong to Orchha. Her happiness is short-lived when she sees Hamilton and his men retreat. Laxmibai reminds Ladai Sarkar that they British are their enemies but Ladai Sarkar goes to kill her. However, Laxmibai drops her to the ground and she faces a humiliating defeat. Tatya Tope enchains Ladai Sarkar and Nathey Khan and takes them to Laxmibai's camp. Nathey Khan manages to free himself and stabs Laxmibai in the back. She collapses. The physician tells Tatya Tope that Laxmibai is in coma. Even in her comatose state, Laxmibai continues to dream about Gangadhar and her past. A dejected Tatya Guru tells Laxmibai that Jhansi awaits her.

Tatya Tope tells Laxmibai that Damodar will not be able to live without her. Moropant realises that he must find a way to convey the news to Laxmibai about Jhansi's annexation. So one of the soldiers pretends to be dead and the British soldiers drag him out of the palace along with the other dead bodies. He then escapes from the fort. Meanwhile, Acharya tells Tatya Tope that something untoward has happened and he will have to revive Laxmibai. At the other tent, Nathey Khan starts laughing aloud saying that only Ladai Sarkar was the queen because Laxmibai would not survive. Tatya Tope decides to teach Nathey Khan a lesson and drags him with a rope. Tatya Tope announces to Ladai Sarkar and Nathey Khan that Laxmibai is still alive. Nathey Khan pleads for mercy but Tatya Tope reminds him how he had backstabbed Laxmibai in return for her kindness.

Ladai Sarkar orders her men not to attack Laxmibai till she and her ten confidantes close in. When they do, Ladai Sarkar asks her soldiers to strike. Laxmibai and Ladai Sarkar's men fight. Laxmibai marches towards Ladai Sarkar and into her trap. A shocked Tatya Tope realises that Ladai Sarkar has used his own tactics and warns Laxmibai not to march ahead but it's too late because Ladai Sarkar's men surround Laxmibai. Ladai Sarkar and Laxmibai confront each other. Laxmibai and Ladai Sarkar have a war of words, with the former calling Ladai Sarkar a coward. Meanwhile, Tatya Tope summons Raghunath, Sunder, Bandu and Ghaus Khan. He says that they must change their strategy and divert the attention of the Orchha Army. Laxmibai fights with Ladai Sarkar and spares her again but Ladai Sarkar exhorts her soldiers to finish off Laxmibai! Nathey Khan and his men manage to surround her but just then, explosions occur and Laxmibai holds Nathey Khan captive.

Laxmibai warns Nelson that Jhansi belonged to her, and would always do so. She promises to return to Jhansi. She also vows that she would celebrate Damodar's birthday with her parents and son before sunset the next day. Hamilton warns Nelson that Laxmibai would surely return but Nelson assures him that their army would tackle her. He also reminds Hamilton that their spy, Rao Dulajo, would inform them about Laxmibai's moves. Raghunath calls his soldiers and informs them that they would attack the town of Jhansi first next morning so that Hamilton would send his men there. Laxmibai says that she will enter Jhansi in the night itself. Rao Dulajo sends a message that Laxmibai would attack the town of Jhansi the next morning. Laxmibai enters the palace when Hamilton opens the gates for the rations. Hamilton realises that he was misled when he's informed that Nelson was chasing Laxmibai.

Laxmibai promises Nelson that she will return to take back Jhansi from him. Seeing Ellis hold him at gunpoint, Nelson vows to destroy him. While Ellis is questioning Nelson, one of the British guard hits Ellis on the head, and Ellis collapses. Meanwhile, Laxmibai's confidantes bravely fight Hamilton and his men. Hamilton and Laxmibai come face to face with each other. She exhorts the residents of Jhansi to come out and fight the British, so they put up a valiant fight against them. Hamilton is held captive. Meanwhile, the Jhansi subjects request Laxmibai to celebrate Damodar's birthday in the temple of Jhansi. She presents Damodar with the soil of Jhansi. When Damodar bows to pray, Laxmibai sees Gangadhar blessing him and reminding her to get back the kingdom of Jhansi. Meanwhile, Nelson tortures Ellis and demands to know what his relationship with Laxmibai was that he went against his own people.

Laxmibai gets Ellis treated. When she realises that Tatya Guru is not pleased with her decision, she promises to get back the fort. Lord Dalhousie seeks to have huge reinforcements sent to Jhansi to help Nelson protect Jhansi Fort. Laxmibai tells her confidantes that there were very few British soldiers inside the fort presently and thus, it was the best time to attack. Ghaus Khan gets his ammunitions and men towards Jhansi. At the camp, Laxmibai decides that she will attack and not wait for Ghaus Khan's army or hers to arrive. Laxmibai decides to enter Jhansi Fort secretly but wonders how. Meanwhile, Nelson's strategy is to surround Laxmibai's army. Nelson revels in the royal luxuries and dons the king's attire. Nelson even enters Laxmibai's chamber and throws away her painting with Gangadhar. Laxmibai narrates about Gangadhar's and her life to little Damodar.

Nelson goes down the secret passage and is delighted to see the tunnel end at Jhansi town. Meanwhile, Ghaus Khan orders that the huge boulders be moved so that they can reach Jhansi faster by this route. Laxmibai is shocked and angry to see Nelson dressed as a king and strutting in the palace. Unknown to Laxmibai, Nelson informs Rao Dulajo about the secret tunnel and tells him to ask Laxmibai, Tatya Tope and Raghunath to enter the fort from the tunnel so that anyone accompanying her would get killed. Laxmibai too talks about the tunnel to her confidantes, including Rao Dulajo. Rao Dulajo suggests that she take either Tatya Guru or Raghunath along too but she says that she will enter the fort alone. However, Tatya Guru insists that she not go alone, so she decides to take Rao Dulajo, much to his shock! Rao Dulajo immediately sends a note asking Nelson to stop his plans but Raghunath comes just then and he drops the note.

Laxmibai's men inform Laxmibai that there is a huge boulder kept above the tunnel. A very worried Rao Dulajo tells that they are doomed because there is no escape. Meanwhile, Nelson triumphantly watches the mayhem in Jhansi. Inside the tunnel, one of Laxmibai's soldier's legs gets stuck under a boulder, so she asks Rao Dulajo to remove it. The soldier begs her to carry on but she promises to take him out of trouble and they succeed. Laxmibai finally manages to find an escape route. Hamilton decides to lay a trap for Laxmibai's confidantes and orders that the fort gates be opened so that his soldiers can kill Tatya Tope and the others. However, Tatya Tope and his soldiers fight bravely the British.

Nelson is shell-shocked to see his wife Mrs. Rose Nelson and his sister Ms. Jane Nelson with Laxmibai. Laxmibai orders that his soldiers surrender and that he release the prisoners of Jhansi. A frightened Nelson asks his men to drop their weapons. Laxmibai then orders that he vacate the palace and promises him a safe passage. When Nelson accuses her of kidnapping innocent women, she retorts that he too had seized her palace, holding Damodar at gunpoint! Rose pleads with Nelson to leave Jhansi but Hamilton refuses to vacate the palace, and orders Laxmibai to kill Nelson's family! The people of Jhansi too demand blood for blood but Laxmibai asserts that she will not kill them. Laxmibai assures Nelson that she will not harm his family but not release them either unless he vacates the palace.

Laxmibai assures Damodar that they would get back their fort today. Damodar promises never to let the British ever enter their fort again. A British officer, Dunlop, spots Ghaus Khan approaching with his men and attacks them but Ghaus Khan manages to escape. Laxmibai asks Nelson to take the safe passage but Hamilton warns Nelson not to. Nelson gets furious with Hamilton and holds him at gunpoint. Nelson asks his soldiers to drop their weapons first and leave the fort. On the other hand, Dunlop orders his men to enter the fort from the same gate from which Nelson will leave and thus corner Laxmibai. Unaware to Dunlop and his men, Ghaus Khan overhears this. Meanwhile, Nelson reaches the gate from which he will leave and asks Laxmibai to release his family. Laxmibai obliges. Nelson then asks Laxmibai that the gate be opened, so she asks her gatekeeper to do the needful.

Before Ghaus Khan is able to inform Laxmibai about the British ploy, a knife is thrown at his back. An injured Ghaus Khan informs Laxmibai that all their soldiers have been killed. Seeing the British Army outnumbering theirs, Tatya Guru tells Laxmibai that they must leave Jhansi but looking at the atrocities being inflicted on her subjects, she decides to fight them. Tatya Guru says that Jhansi would be orphaned if anything untoward were to happen to her. Chimnabai says that their homes have been set afire and vows never to forgive Laxmibai if her unborn baby was hurt. Laxmibai asks Tatya Guru and the others to escape but decides to stay back herself. Laxmibai vows to die for Jhansi. Nelson says that Jhansi is theirs and they only need to finish off the Queen of Jhansi. Rose scolds Nelson for wanting to kill the woman who had saved his family!

Lord Dalhousie is delighted to receive a telegram informing him that the flag of the East India Company would be unfurled the next morning on Jhansi Fort. Nelson and Hamilton rejoice at their victory. Nelson promises Hamilton that there will be song and dance, and gets Motibai to court but she refuses to comply to his wishes, so Nelson whips her. Nelson orders that she bent sent to the dungeon. Later, Rose meets Motibai in prison and apologises. Motibai pleads with her to help Laxmibai. Laxmibai wakes up with a start and wonders where she is. Sunder informs Laxmibai that the British had surrounded Jhansi and she was brought here for security reasons. A furious Laxmibai demands to know who dared to bring her here. Sunder replies that it was Tatya Tope. Meanwhile, Nelson tries to lure Rose with the riches and luxuries of Jhansi and says that the royal bed was now theirs, so she slaps him.

Tatya Guru tells Laxmibai that giving up one's life for one's motherland was a matter of pride but intentionally walking into the jaws of death was not bravery. Laxmibai warns him she cannot save her life while her subjects were being inflicted to atrocities. Meanwhile, Nelson mentions his strategy to attack Laxmibai so that there is no escape this time. Tatya Guru and Laxmibai continue to fight, when Rose asks them to stop fighting amongst themselves and let her husband's motive succeed. She tells Laxmibai that someone from their group has informed Nelson about her whereabouts and that Nelson would be here with the British Army. The next morning, Nelson, Hamilton and Dunlop arrive with their respective armies to Laxmibai's hideout. Nelson gets furious with Rao Dulajo when he finds the premises empty. Meanwhile, Laxmibai personally takes Rose to her palace. Laxmibai then tells Tatya Guru that she will meet him later as she has some work to complete.

Rose visits Motibai to ask her how to convey the message about Nelson intensifying his search for Laxmibai, so Motibai replies that there is a Laxmibai loyalist who would do the needful. Laxmibai continues to seek help from the neighbouring kingdoms to strengthen her army but alas! If any of them had possessed even an ounce of the love that Laxmibai had for her motherland, then India's history would have been different! Fear of the British and greed for power made all the kings of the other princely states decline from offering help to Laxmibai. Nelson is delighted to hear that Laxmibai and her followers were still wandering and deprived of food and money. Just then, he receives a telegram from Lord Dalhousie saying that he has sent a battalion from Gwalior to take away Jhansi's treasury. Meanwhile, Damodar keeps asking for food, so Laxmibai plucks some fruits and feeds it to Damodar.

Nelson is shocked to see Rose praying to a Hindu goddess but she reminds him that even the statue of Jesus was right next to it. Hamilton tells Nelson that they need to break the morale of the subjects of Jhansi. Nelson says that Laxmibai will now come as Kranti Guru to tackle the British but he will be alert this time! In Jhansi, Kranti Guru is surprised to hear about a reward from the British on her head as well as for anyone providing information about her. She feels dejected hearing the traders voicing their disapproval against her for rebelling against the British and returns to her hideout. Rose ends up being a messiah for a hungry Damodar and the others when she brings food for them. Rose informs Laxmibai about the British battalion arriving to take Jhansi's treasury away.

A wicked Nelson decides to share his joy of having Laxmibai sealed in a barrel by parading her before the people of Jhansi to see. Meanwhile, Karma who is accompanying Dunlop to Gwalior with Jhansi's treasury, asks his soldiers to take a tea break. He then writes a letter to Mangal Pandey saying that Jhansi's treasury was being taken to Gwalior and that it must be returned to Queen Laxmibai. Karma also states that he regrets to have raised his hands on his dear queen and vows to protect his sister. However, the letter falls into the hands of Dunlop! Raghunath and Tatya Tope decide to implement their next plan of action. On the other hand, Nelson tells the subjects of Jhansi that the Queen of Jhansi was inside the barrel. When they refuse to believe him, he opens the barrel as proof.

Seeing Rann Bankura, Nelson is certain that it is indeed Laxmibai. Nelson tells her that she will get Jhansi back but they would want Lord Dalhousie alive! Lord Dalhousie comes out of the cart, and Nelson is stunned to see him alive. Ellis tells Nelson that it was time for him to leave. Rose too bids goodbye to Laxmibai.Tatya Tope and Mangal Pandey are delighted to hear that Laxmibai has got back her Jhansi. Moropant is very proud of his daughter, so Chimnabai taunts that Laxmibai got Jhansi back only because a lot of blood was shed! Meanwhile, Laxmibai enters her palace. She exhorts her subjects to drive out every Englishman from India. Meanwhile, Lord Dalhousie is asked to leave India because of the shame he brought to the East India Company. Moropant is asked to crown Laxmibai on her victory and says that he is very proud of her. He then presents her with weapons. Laxmibai vows to protect Jhansi at all cost. On the other hand, Nelson vows to get back at Laxmibai.

Rao Dulajo is publicly tortured in Jhansi by the subjects. They demand that his body be thrown out of Jhansi. Laxmibai then exhorts her subjects to unite to destroy their enemies like Hugh Rose. Karma and Ghaus Khan visit the site of explosion and get worried when they realise that one British officer has escaped. They convey this bad news to Laxmibai and the others. Karma says that he suspects it is Hugh Rose. Laxmibai asks everyone to be on high alert. Meanwhile, Hugh Rose promises to seek revenge from Laxmibai. In England, Queen Victoria is furious hearing about the turn of events. She is then informed that Hugh Rose is still alive. Meanwhile, Nana Saheb tells Laxmibai that if the powerful kings of Gwalior, Datia and Banda join the revolution, then they could be victorious in acquiring independence.

Moropant tells Laxmibai that Yuvraj is none other than the boy she had defeated in the game of `kabbadi'. He tells Laxmibai that he has learnt the truth about his father's death and thanks her for seeking revenge from Nelson for his father's death. He further asserts that he wants to join her in the revolution against the British. Meanwhile, Hamilton suggests to Hugh Rose to divert Laxmibai's mind from her goal. Later, Laxmibai is shocked to receive a letter from the King of Scindia about his refusal to join the June 23 revolution, little realising that it is a British ploy. Back in the palace, the prize distribution ceremony for children is on, but when Damodar's name is announced for the best performer, he does not turn up.

Damodar regains consciousness and starts banging on the chest, so Hugh Rose renders him unconscious again. When they are locking Damodar in the chest, his ring falls on the ground. A worried Laxmibai goes searching for Damodar and comes across his ring. She then realises that he has been kidnapped. Meanwhile, Tatya Tope orders Hugh Rose who is in disguise to open the chest but finds nothing. Just then, they hear a child crying and run towards the cart. However, it turns out to be another child. Hugh Rose takes this chance and escapes from Jhansi with the chest. On the other hand, Rao Dulajo asks Hamilton to recognise him. After leaving Jhansi, Hugh Rose recalls how Rao Dulajo had got the chests exchanged and kept Damodar in the commissionerate itself! Laxmibai is devastated and dejected, and just then, hears the mendicant singing

Laxmibai tells Moropant that Damodar has been abducted by none other than the British. Meanwhile, at the commissionerate, Damodar wakes up and recalls Hugh Rose kidnapping him. Raghunath orders his men to search all the missionaries at the commissionerate. Just then, Tatya Tope tells him that Laxmibai has summoned all the ministers. At the market place, Raghunath and Rao Dulajo bump into each other. Raghunath does recognise the voice but by then, Rao Dulajo has left. He informs Laxmibai about it, so she asks him to search for Rao Dulajo. Meanwhile, Rao Dulajo sneaks into the palace but is cornered by Laxmibai and Raghunath. Rao Dulajo informs Laxmibai that Damodar is held hostage at the commissionerate along with the missionaries. On the other hand, Hamilton and the other officers ill-treat Damodar. However, he gets the shock of his life seeing Laxmibai barge into the commissionerate!

Laxmibai and her confidantes fight with Hamilton and his men, and so does Rao Dulajo. Just then, Damodar cries out to her mother to save him but Hamilton takes Damodar away. However, Laxmibai manages to rescue him from Hamilton. She ties Damodar on her back and chases Hamilton. Laxmibai then throws a rope at him and drags him. Hamilton gets surrounded by Laxmibai and her confidantes, including Rao Dulajo. She beheads Hamilton and then burn him as a shocked Hugh Rose watches the incident from a distance. Hugh Rose decides to instigate her own people to go against Laxmibai and thereby break her strength. Meanwhile, Laxmibai and her confidantes are shocked when Damodar faints

An injured Laxmibai refuses to get herself treated till Damodar recovers. Later, Laxmibai and Moropant are delighted when Damodar regains consciousness but their happiness is short-lived when they learn that he has lost his voice. Meanwhile, Raghunath informs Laxmibai that the enraged subjects of Jhansi want even the missionaries sent out of their kingdom because they believe that the missionaries had supported the East India Company in kidnapping Damodar. At the commissionerate, Ghaus Khan is unable to continue the fury of the mob at the commissionerate. Raghunath requests Moropant to pacify the subjects of Jhansi. When the news about Damodar losing his voice reaches the mob, their fury knows no bounds! Moropant intervenes and pleads them to support their queen in this time of crisis.

The messenger informs Laddi that she has been summoned to the palace as the prince had stopped smiling and may have lost his voice. Laxmibai voices her worries to Gangadhar and vows to save Jhansi and its throne. Meanwhile, Hugh Rose is informed that the missionaries are being sent to Jhokan Baug to protect them. When Raghunath is taking away the missionaries, they are confronted by the subjects of Jhansi. A man in the crowd named Bakshish Ali voices his anger against the British. Ghaus Khan tells Raghunath that Bakshish Ali once worked for the British but had turned against them when the British had killed his family. Bakshish Ali and Ghaus Khan get into a war of words with the former inciting the crowd to attack the missionaries because they were responsible for the prince losing his voice but Raghunath stops them and asks them to heed their queen. Ghaus Khan asks them to wait for the queen's decision.

Laxmibai recalls Gangadhar saying that he would never touch English medicines, so she declines the doctor's help. Laxmibai says that she is sure there must be some Indian who will cure her son. Just then, Laddi arrives and displays her antics. Damodar smiles and Laxmibai rewards Laddi. Laxmibai asks Laddi to stay in the palace so that Damodar can recover fully. Meanwhile, an enraged Bakshish Ali is refused permission to meet Laxmibai, so he turns violent. The Prime Minister and Moropant go to meet the angry mob who demand the blood of the missionaries. Laxmibai then declares that the missionaries must leave Jhansi if its subjects were unhappy. However, she asserts that they would not be harmed as long as they were in Jhansi. On the other hand, Hugh Rose refuses to save the missionaries.

Moropant tells Laxmibai that he would write a letter to inform the subjects about the same. When Moropant is writing the letter, he goes to get the royal seal, and just then, Damodar takes the letter away. Moropant runs behind him. Damodar hits against a pillar and drops the letter before collapsing. A man exchanges the letter. Meanwhile, Moropant takes Laddi into confidence and says that they must find a way to get the English medicines for Damodar. Laddi goes out of the palace and gets the English medicines. On her way back, Laddi sees English soldiers dressing up as locals and planning a massacre. Back in the palace, Moropant then puts the royal seal on the letter without reading it and gives it to the Prime Minister. On the other hand, Ghaus Khan reads the queen's decision and is shocked that she wants the missionaries killed!

Kali and her Women's Army arrive to help Laxmibai fight Hugh Rose and his men! A bitter fight ensues. Karma informs that there is a huge British contingent waiting outside Jhansi. Laxmibai's confidantes advise Laxmibai to get inside the Fort of Jhansi and attack the British. Seeing that the British were numerically stronger than them, Laxmibai agrees to go to the fort. All the citizens of Jhansi are brought inside the palace. Meanwhile, just as they enter the palace, Laxmibai sees Damodar waiting outside. Hugh Rose begins firing around Damodar. Laxmibai goes to save him. Karma and Raghunath too arrive just in and rescue Laxmibai and Damodar. Meanwhile, the East India Company hoists their flag in Jhansi.

In the palace, Kashi succumbs to her injuries but before breathing her last, she apologises to Laxmibai for failing to protect the Orchha exit. Laxmibai vows to Rao Dulajo that she will seek vengeance from him for Kashi's death. Just then, Ghaus Khan fires at the British camp but Hugh Rose manages to remain unscathed. Laxmibai tries to fire the cannon but it does not work! Raghunath informs Laxmibai that all the cannons were rendered useless! Laxmibai asks Ghaus Khan to repair them. Meanwhile, Rao Dulajo suggests to Hugh Rose to hide in a mausoleum with his men. The British continue to fire at Laxmibai's men from there but Laxmibai's soldiers watch helplessly.

Laxmibai vows not to let Ghaus Khan's sacrifice go a waste. Laxmibai orders that his last rites be observed as per the Islamic customs. Meanwhile, Rao Dulajo tells Hugh Rose that Laxmibai has no cannons nor does anybody know how to make explosives. However, Hugh Rose is worried because he has no cannons and his army is depleting. Rao Dulajo tells him of a plan. At the palace, there is nobody to offer the last prayers to Ghaus Khan, so Laxmibai asks Bakshish Ali, a once sworn enemy of Ghaus Khan, to do the needful. On the other hand, Rao Dulajo reaches with his men near the granary of the palace and burns it, while Karma and Kali fight Hugh Rose and his men. Laxmibai and the others finish with the formalities of burying Ghaus Khan. She then runs towards the granary and finds the food grains on fire. Just then, an explosion occurs and Laxmibai is injured. Seeing this, Hugh Rose orders a ceasefire.

With already enough troubles in her hand, Laxmibai is shocked to find even the water adulterated. Laxmibai feels helpless seeing her citizens, especially children, hungry. Inside the palace, Chimnabai taunts Moropant that her unborn baby has to remain hungry because of Laxmibai! Laxmibai arrives then and sees that her maid is about to feed Damodar. She narrates the story of Lord Krishna to Damodar who had only one morsel of rice when he had unexpectedly come to meet Draupadi, so Damodar too has only one grain of rice. Laxmibai gives the food to Chimnabai. Overwhelmed, Chimnabai refuses to have the food at the cost of Damodar remaining hungry. Karma and Laxmibai are relieved when they see that sacks of food grains have arrived. However, they get shocked seeing the mutilated body of a food trader! Laxmibai reads the letter sent by Hugh Rose saying that his men were hungrier, so they decided to keep the ration for themselves!

Hugh Rose is informed that Captain Clark's army had arrived, so they would have more arms and men! Laxmibai and her confidantes are worried. Help arrives in the form of Tatya Tope who arrives in Jhansi with his battalion. Laxmibai meets her wounded soldiers and tends to them. She then exhorts them to fight for their motherland. The soldiers promise to fight against the British till their last breath! Tatya Tope discusses his strategy against the British with his men. Thousands of miles away, Laxmibai was proving to be a major concern for Queen Victoria, so she decides to send her bravest but crazy officer, Lieutenant Gall. Chimnabai goes into labour and Laxmibai assures her that Jhansi would be freed by sunset, so Chimnabai asks her what would happen if Tatya Tope wouldn't arrive on time!

Laxmibai gallops alone towards the fort's exit gates and orders that it be opened. Laxmibai's confidantes ask the subjects to go out of the fort from the rear exit, while the British continue to shoot indiscriminately. In the process, Moropant gets shot in his leg. Rao Dulajo warns Laxmibai that she has been surrounded and asks her to surrender. Karma sends away everyone to safety and then locks the exit to fight the British alone! Meanwhile, Rao Dulajo comes to attack Laxmibai from behind and Damodar manages to regain his voice just in time to warn her. Laxmibai turns and beheads Rao Dulajo. Just then Hugh Rose goes to fire at her but Karma takes the bullet instead. Karma is shot, while Laxmibai kills many British soldiers. Laxmibai and Karma gallop away on their horses and reach the palace.
