After their separation, Mukta finds out that she is pregnant, and would like Rajat to see his child, and hopes for a reconciliation. It is then she meets Sheetal, who tells her in no uncertain terms, that Rajat and she belong together, and Rajat has no intention of coming back to Mukta. —rAjOo (gunwanti@hotmail.com)

Maharaj Ashvapati and his wife, Malvi, are childless. They pray to Devi Maa Gayatri, who appears before them, but tells them to their dismay that they cannot sire a son. She does appease them by blessing them with a daughter. Shortly thereafter a daughter is born and is named Savitri, by none other than Devrishi Narad. When Savitri matures, she receives many proposals for marriage, but decides to wed a poor woodcutter, Satyavan, who saved from being attacked by a tiger, and who lives a poor lifestyle in a Rishi-Ashram along with blind parents, who were once Raja and Maharani, but their kingdom was taken away by deceit by the Raja's brother. Despite objections from her parents, Savitri and Satyavan wed, and Savitri goes to live a simple lifestyle. She undertakes the Akhand Saubhagyawati Vrath, but shortly thereafter Satyavan passes away after being bitten by a snake. Yamraj sends his Dhoots to bring in Satyavan's soul, but they are prevented by Savitri. Yamraj himself undertakes this task, and after successfully deceiving Savitri, claims Satyavan's soul and takes it with him. Upset at Yamraj, Savitri decides to follow him, with assistance from Devi Maa Gayatri, all the way from Prithvilok, then to Devlok, then to Swarg, and it is finally at Brahmlok that she will be told that no mortal can enter this realm, and is asked to leave, but not before Yamraj agrees to grant her three wishes - none of these could be utilized to bring back her deceased husband. The question remains: what will Savitri wish for?

A woman faces problems when she insists on marrying the man she loves. Saranga lives a wealthy lifestyle in Ambavati along with her father, Nagar Seth, and step-mother, Nagar Sethani, and she in love and wants to marry Rajkumar Sadabaksh. She is unhappy when told that her marriage has already been arranged with Sethani's brother, Gyanchand. Initially Nagar opposes this alliance, but changes his mind after Sethani threatens to kill herself. He then goes to the Raja and gets him to promise that he will forbid his son from seeing Saranga. Watch what reaction this promise has on Sadabaksh and on Saranga herself.

After the passing of their parents, Devraj lives with his much younger brother, Ramu, in a small town in India. He gets married to Bindya, who moves in along with her mom, and brother, Raju. Devraj, who works with Rai Saheb Kedarnath, gets a promotion as a Government Contractor, and they move into a bigger house. Years later, Raju and Ramu have grown up, and Bindya's mom has passed on. While Raju has taken to petty crime and bad company, Ramu is more focused on his studies and has good sober habits. Devraj would like Raju to get married to Rama, Kedarnath's daughter, but he subsequently finds out that she has fallen in love with Ramu. This news is met with anger by Raju, who swears to avenge this humiliation. Devraj's step-mother, Mrs. Ramnath, and her daughter, Nandini, move in with them - thus ending their idyllic lifestyle - with Devraj suspecting Bindya of having an affair with their cook, Chandan, and Bindya thinking that Devraj is having an affair with Nandini. Things get bad to worse, when Ramu is accused of stealing a diamond ring from Kedarnath's house, and the Police being summoned. Questions that remain unanswered are: Are Devraj and Bindya really having affairs with Nandini and Chandan respectively, and why would Ramu steal from his prospective father-in-law's house? —rAjOo (gunwanti@hotmail.com) Devraj & Bindu are in love with each other. Chandan is a simple man who runs a tea shop outside Bindu's hut & treats her as a sister. Bindu and Devraj get married with the help of Mistry Chacha. Bindu keeps Devraj's brother Raju as her child and Devraj loves Bindu's brother Ramu as his son. With the help of Rai Saheb Kedarnath, Mistry Devraj becomes a big Contractor. Chandan closes his shop and starts working in Devraj's house as his cook one day, the keep of Devraj's father & her daughter Nandini visits Devraj's house and Devraj allows them to stay in his old house. Nandini creates doubts in Devraj's mind for Bindu and Chandan's relationship and Chandan on the other hand suspects Devraj and Nandini's relationship. Thus, the atmosphere on both sides gets vitiated. Ramu and Raju are in love with the same girl Rama, daughter of Raisaheb. On being insisted by Bindu, Ramu promises to forget Rama. —gavin@sunny_deol2009@yahoo.com
