Vahinisaheb takes the opportunity to taunt Gangadhar Rao that he will never be able to stop the wagging tongues talking ill of Laxmi Bai as that was the truth.
Gangadhar Rao goes to Laxmi Bai's chamber where he finds her sitting alone and depressed. Gangadhar Rao consoles her to which Laxmi Bai says that she has made up her mind that she will do everything possible to give Jhansi its heir. Gangadhar Rao is elated to hear this.
He immediately asks the attendants to call Daimaa and Ganga back. On hearing the King's command, Daimaa and Ganga at first tremble with fear but bid the courage to meet him.
A surprise awaits Daimaa when Gangadhar Rao tells her that he wants her to take care of Laxmi Bai's health so that she may conceive soon. Daimaa happily agrees.
After Gangadhar Rao leaves, Laxmi Bai asks Ganga to join her for the evening aarti. Ganga presents to Laxmi Bai the small gift she had got for her.
Major Ellis visit Gangadhar Rao's court and says that the British have taken over Sambhalpur only because the king there died of ill health. He assures him that there was no question of the British taking over Jhansi as he was in perfect health and would soon have an heir.
No sooner than Major Ellis utters these words, the conch for the evening aarti gets incidentally blown in the puja ghar. Gangadhar Rao is happy at the good omen and proceeds for the aarti. Major Ellis too requests permission to attend the aarti.
The evening aarti begins with great fervor. However, during the aarti a lizard falls on the hand of Vahinisaheb who at that time has the aarti in her hand. Scared, she flings the aarti from her hand. Laxmi bai bends at that time to offer prayers. Will the aarti land on Laxmi Bai?
Ganga manages to save Laxmi Bai in the nick of time by pushing her aside .
However, in the bargain she burns her hand and even gets slit by a knife. Gangadhar Rao immediately orders the royal physician to attend to Ganga. He is relieved that Laxmi Bai is safe.
After the commotion settles, Gangadhar Rao sees off Major Ellis and comments that he is very different from other British officers. Major Ellis thanks him for the compliment and leaves.
Pleased with Ganga's sacrifice to save her life, Laxmi Bai presents her with a new outfit. Ganga is thrilled.
