What are you doing?
Just give me one good reason why I shouldn't shoot you.
After double-crossing me like this,
why shouldn't I blow your brains out?
Why did you marry me?
To backstab the Chauhan family?
Passion?
Love?
Love!
Pushkar Chauhan fell in love? - Pushkar...
You damn idiot, you think you'd actually fall in love?
Remember that night when I came home late?
You walked up to me and said,
'What took you so long?
I was worried sick about you.' God, what a bullshit night that was!
It was so cursed,
I don't know what got into me.
Please, listen to me.
Stay away from me! Don't touch me! Keep your distance and talk!
I'll kill you! Why did you do it?
Please...
Why? - Kill me if you want to, please.
I don't want to live like this.
I disgust myself.
My life, my past.
What kind of life?
Speak up. Tell me.
Why did you do this?
I wanted power.
I wanted to enter politics.
I wanted to become superior.
It was all for revenge.
Against whom?
Revenge against whom?
'When I was first posted in Surya Kotwa,'
'I had just joined as the SDM.'
'A new minister arrived.'
'Vishal Tikaria.'
'Throughout the event,'
'he kept staring at me.'
Hello, Ms. Prerna.
Good morning.
Where are you heading?
Just a moment...
Leave me alone!
'He crossed the line,'
'so I snapped at him.' 'And after that..'
Who are you? Hey!
Who are you? Why are you barging in? - Excuse me, what is this?
Stay right there. I'm calling the police!
Who are you?
Let go of me! Leave me!
Don't touch me!
Damn, you're gorgeous.
And so damn arrogant.
That's exactly what drives me crazy.
Let go! - Let go of her!
Let me go! - Where are you taking her?
Today, I'll strip away your clothes and your arrogance.
You'll learn who Vishal Tikaria is!
Prerna! - You'll rot in hell!
Let me go!
Take her inside.
Let me go!
No, leave me alone!
Where are you taking her? Let her go!
Prerna!
- Come on!
I'm sorry, Pushkar.
Forgive me. I didn't do this intentionally.
I allied with Rantej to weaken Shanvika
so I could gain power.
It was the only way to take revenge
on a powerful man like Vishal Tikaria.
Quiet.
I'm sorry. - Quiet.
Calm down.
I'm not angry or disgusted anymore.
You should have told me earlier.
I'm sorry.
You didn't trust me, did you?
You're Pushkar Chauhan's wife, dammit.
You did the right thing.
Vishal Tikaria...
Quiet now.
Quiet.
Please sit.
Ma'am, why have you called
the entire Sitaarpur press here today?
A few days ago, a woman named Mahua met with the DM.
'She said her daughter, Gehna, got married'
'at a mass wedding event.'
'One night, her daughter called her.'
'Gehna revealed that the mass wedding was a sham.'
It's a massive racket.
They target naive,
uneducated village girls.
They stage fake weddings.
Then traffic them to the city and force them into prostitution.
Sumit Bansal, Madan Rathore, Trilochan,
and Makhan Lal are all involved.
And running this entire operation
is our Home Minister,
Vishal Tikaria.
Ma'am, that's a massive accusation
against the Home Minister.
Do you have proof?
We have all the evidence right here.
As DM, my hands were tied.
That's why I sought the Minister's help.
'I informed her about the racket,'
'and to bring justice to those innocent girls,'
'she spearheaded this fight to the end.'
As evidence, we have the statements of two girls
whom we rescued. We also have Makhan Lal in custody.
Makhan Lal provided damning evidence against Vishal Tikaria.
But, Mr. Kuldeep, have you considered
that accusing the Home Minister of our state
is like playing with fire?
Justice yields to no title, fear or power.
No matter who the accused is,
punishment is guaranteed.
Kuldeep!
'And thanks to the joint efforts of District Magistrate Kuldeep Kumar.'
That treacherous bastard! - 'The state's biggest'
'prostitution racket has been busted.'
'Its mastermind is none other than Home Minister Vishal Tikaria.'
'Under the guise of mass weddings, innocent girls were trafficked'
'from Mumbai and Delhi markets all the way to the Gulf.'
'Along with the Home Minister, the honourable Chief Minister'
'must also answer for this.'
Whose conspiracy is this, Chief Minister?
I'm being framed!
I revere women like Goddesses.
I worship them.
Are you laughing at my ruin?
I’m laughing at your stupidity
and your utter nonsense.
I know how much 'respect' you have for women.
But you may not know,
when a man drunk on wealth and power
makes a woman cry,
destiny itself writes his downfall.
You weren't framed by a conspiracy,
you were cursed by those helpless,
grieving girls.
The ones you bought and sold like commodities.
Does that mean you were the one...
No, no. I didn't do a thing.
Whatever was done...
was done by a daughter.
Your favourite, Shanvika Chauhan.
You have no idea
how this move could bring down your government.
My MLAs won't tolerate this stain on our party.
I tried explaining to Shanvika,
that Vishal Tikaria is a total bastard.
He could topple our government. She just wouldn't listen.
She turned out to be remarkably fearless and brave.
Besides, I've been ruling for 32 years now.
Maybe it really is time for retirement.
Send the SP in.
Come in, SP. - Sir.
You see, Mr. Vishal Tikaria here is a man of colourful tastes.
Take him away and wipe that colour right off him.
Vishal Tikaria!
Down with Vishal Tikaria! Down with Vishal Tikaria!
- Mr. Tikaria, tell us!
Why did you do this?
Say something!
Regarding the ongoing
mass wedding scam in Sitaarpur, the police have finally
apprehended the mastermind today.
Based on solid evidence and witnesses, SP Dinkar
has taken State Home Minister Vishal Tikaria into custody.
DM Kuldeep Kumar and Minister Shanvika Chauhan
personally investigated this case,
making this breakthrough possible.
Shanvika Chauhan addressed this letter to me.
It was sent to every MLA's wife as well.
Before you rush off to defend Vishal,
I want you to hear this from your own daughter.
Read it, sweetheart.
Thank you, Kuldeep. Your plan worked.
I sent letters to the wives of every MLA who backed Vishal.
I made them feel the victims' pain.
And guess what?
Not a single wife let her husband go anywhere near Vishal.
There's no talk of bringing down the government anymore.
And what's even more interesting is that the CM knows everything.
He's proud of me and the DM of Sitaarpur.
Fine. You won your battle.
Mine isn't over yet.
So don't call me again.
Listen, Kuldeep...
You stood by me in every fight of mine.
In this fight of yours, I stand with you.
I won't let anyone touch even a hair on your head in Sitaarpur.
Everything I did was just my duty, Shanvika.
The battle ahead is mine alone
and I will fight it myself.
Incredible work, son-in-law!
Just incredible!
Simply remarkable! - Sir, I...
Don't say a word. Not a word.
I understand.
I used to think Shanvika Chauhan was the mastermind behind all this.
But after learning the truth,
the way you stood by what's right,
without any bias,
without taking sides...
just amazing.
As of today, my respect for you
has grown ten-fold, it's sky-high, my boy!
I am so proud of you, son-in-law.
You're a paragon of truth.
A treasure of ideals.
Hey, it's all right. No big deal.
So what if Shanvika Chauhan didn't take your bait this time?
No worries. She will next time.
Just keep a close eye on every mistake she makes.
Granted, she did a good thing here.
But the family she comes from?
I know that bloodline all too well.
She will slip up.
Again and again.
At first, I thought Shanvika was involved.
I would have framed her, if that were true.
But framing her for a crime she didn't commit?
That would be two wrongs on my part.
First, it goes against my principles.
And second,
the real mastermind would walk free.
You're absolutely right.
My hatred for Shanvika hasn't faded
nor has my desire for revenge.
But falsely accusing someone?
I won't cross that line.
Besides,
now that she's a minister,
it'd be easy for her to prove her innocence.
Oh, son-in-law, please!
Say no more.
I get it now.
I've gotten to know you very well.
Look...
Wait for the perfect moment and then strike!
And that strike will be fatal.
I'm certain of it now.
You're spot on.
I don't believe in half-measures or just wounding an enemy either.
I'm waiting.
In fact, I can't wait for your next move.
I'll take your leave.
All right, all right.
Stay blessed.
Ma'am.
Have you read the newspapers?
'Shanvika Chauhan: Saviour, Not Just a Leader,'
'Voice of the People.'
And who knows what else!
Everyone's handing out sweets in celebration.
Why do you look so grim, ma'am?
Is everything okay?
The DM...
Sworn enemies, he and I.
It's not his anger that worries me,
it's his safety.
It's clear now that he backed me.
That leaves Daddu and Mala with no hope.
Before they move against Kuldeep,
I have to act.
First, you need Mr. Kuldeep to forgive you, ma'am.
Once you're back together,
only then can you protect him and yourself.
What's this?
Sir, while watching the news,
Mrs. Madam lost her temper, swore at you
and shattered the glass.
Then she spent an hour in her room talking to her father.
When she finally came out,
her entire attitude had shifted.
Daddu came to the office today, too.
His behaviour had completely changed as well.
Now I just need the evidence
that will expose Daddu and Mala.
Sir, proof won't come easily.
You need to make a move fast.
I know.
Good morning, Kuldeep. - Good morning.
Coffee? - No, thanks.
I wanted to tell you something.
Sure, go ahead. Have a seat.
Look, Mala, I tried hard, but I can never even be your friend.
Let alone a husband.
The truth is, dragging out this fake marriage
has exhausted me.
I can't do this anymore.
Besides, beyond the ritual, there was never anything between us.
It's my fault.
I married you for my own gain.
I did try to accept you.
But I never could.
Matters of the heart
can't be forced by the mind.
I am sorry.
Let's stop this charade
and end it right here.
