M Ghori and Vanraj are playing chess. They sit at a table in the Sultan’s fort.
One of his messengers has brought the news, “Gazab ho gaya”, Prithviraj Chauhan reached Chittorgarh!
“Kya”?
Yes, he killed us like we were insects!
Vanraj move your token, tells Ghori, Vanraj seems to be distressed, but Ghori is not affected at all.
What you people waiting for, something, go ahead and make the next strike.
But Sultan, Prithvi has found us out, he even found where we kept S Singh.
Ghori has become annoyed, he shouts, move your token finish the game, quick!
Vanraj doesn’t really have interest in chess. Prithviraj will get us and you want to play like this, Vanraj answers back, both of their moods have become spoiled.
Look, I am not afraid of Prithviraj, ever since Prithvi has come into my world it has become colourful. If he wasn’t there, then who will I play with? Give Prithvi my next “pygam” he tells his messenger, and let’s continue this little game. Come Prithvi we will play the sport and see who wins it, Ghori exclaims.

Jaichand and Sanyo together reach the place where he told he would take her. There they enter some kind of ashram, to a farmhouse. A lady approaches them and welcomes them both. Jaichand tells Sanyo to meet Ambika Ma, she is the one who will erase Prithviraj’s name form your mind!
That will be an impossible task to do, Sanyo reminds them.
It may not be so late to do so, assures Ambika Ma.
I have tried every single remedy tells Jaichand to her, but I never became successful to change her mind. Now she is in the need of severe punishment that’s why I have brought her here for her to forget Prithviraj.
Don’t worry she is young and innocent she will forget eventually.
Yes then I will wait for that, meanwhile I will prepare for the “Shandhar Swayamwar”, tells Jaichand.
You can easily prepare the arrangements for the Swayamwar because this task won’t take long to do, Ambika Ma is confident.

I will also accompany you brother!
No you won’t, tells Prithvi!
But why, Pratha is anxious to go.
Prithvi’s attention is diverted Sultan’s men await outside. Chand gives their message to Prithvi it’s a scroll. Prithvi reads the scroll,

“Salam,” “Kushamdin”,
Maharaj,
I am happy that we will meet and I have thought of meeting as friends not enemies. We can play sports. For that, first, you will have to give Chittorgarh to me and then I will return S Singh to you. How do you like this game? Just give me Chittorgarh and take S Singh back, see how easy it is, but remember if you try to play any tricks before that you will definitely see S Singh dead, the death I will give him will be a brutal one.
Argh! Prithvi reads the final stanza and chucks it away, another attack of Ghori. He gets ready to leave.
Pratha asks him, where are you going?
Prithvi goes outside and shouts at them, go and tell your Sultan you have played the game. But this time Prithvi will get you Sultan and also tell him I will set S Singh free too. This game I have played and it comes with Ghori’s death, Prithvi is furious.
Pratha comes outside and falls at Prithvi’s feet, she interrupts him, no brother give him anything, give him Chittorgarh and get S Singh back! I don’t want anything!
No Pratha! Prithvi exclaims, I will definitely get S Singh back!
But something can happen to you too Prithvi!
Ghori’s troops watch outside the hut, they mediate and say this is not actually a game to play! They find the situation amusing.
Give him anything, Pratha tells to Prithvi.
Okay alright, finally Prithvi agrees.
Tell your Sultan “manzoor hai”, I am ready to give Chittorgarh away, but on one condition no harm to S Singh will be tolerated. The message is understood, they leave.
Pratha cries and apologizes to Prithvi because of her wrong decision.
What is this, why you cry, your happiness is more important. I would do anything for you even give you the world, now stop crying. When you are with me nothing will happen to S Singh. Prithvi tells Chand to take her inside.
Pratha asks him, where are you going now.
To bring my sister’s happiness, what else.

Tonight you can sleep comfortably, tells Ambika Ma to Sanyo.
Don’t see about me see for yourselves she replies back. But at least we are both having the same wave length.
You don’t know me, many princesses have come here and saluted me. I have never lost to anyone or anything till date. I will eventually remove Prithviraj from your brain.
You will not even be able to remove Prithvi from my breath, warns Sanyo.
Oh yes I will, I will fulfill this task, Ambika Ma assures her.

Enough, I just wanted this chance! Prithvi is optimistic.
What will you do Prithvi, asks Pundir.
I will play a trick so that Ghori will never try to play again with me. Prithvi and Pundir have followed the invaders. They have come to an “adda” some brothel. Prithvi and Pundir spy on them from a distance.
Let’s rest, tells the invaders. If Sultan finds out, he will be alarmed.
Now it’s our turn, says Prithvi, come Pundir. We will use them to find Sultan, Prithvi whispers. They see some dancers dancing in the place. Prithvi gets the idea to join the function, both of them steal some ladies garments and dress up as females. They both enter the brothel and join the crowd. Invaders drink and watch the dancers, while Prithvi and Pundir hide behind a door. Two troops exit near them, Prithvi attacks them and kills them, he then hides the bodies, Prithvi and Pundir both dress-up as the invaders, wearing their uniform.
It’s been a long time since they are at the brothel, one of them says. Let’s go from here because if Sultan finds out he will kill us, the senior commander orders.
Prithvi and Pundir wait outside they are prepared to take their next move.

Come Vanraj lets have a sword fight. Ghori and Vanraj haven’t practiced in days. They both have a contest. Both of their lances clash each other.
While they practice Ghori says, Prithvi must have got my “pygam” by now? He must have become frightened of me, since he has not come to me yet. If he is ultimately scared then he will bring the crown of Chittorgarh, tells Ghori confidently.
Both practice their lance, don’t think he is weak, Prithvi is not a kitten, warns Vanraj.
Everybody fears Ghori’s sword! Ghori cannot bear anybody more proficient than himself.
But people say Prithvi is one who does not, Vanraj taunts.
In his mind Ghori thinks, he must have some trick. Prithvi may play a “chaal’ but Ghori will always have ways to counter it.
S Singh is waiting, he’s is exhausted and sweaty. A rope is tied to his neck, his hand and legs chained to the cell. Ghori and Vanraj finish their game, they go to check on S Singh. Ghori says he could be executed anytime, tell me Maharaj S Singh, how do you like my arrangements? What is all this you are so innocent Maharaj, it’s all because of Prithvi we do this to you. This is all a trick in case Prithvi finds us out.
We will be prepared for all eventualities and kill S Singh so we can run from here, Ghori is satisfied with his plan, he tells Vanraj Solonki.
This is all good, a very good plan you have! Vanraj is pleased with it. They have kept S Singh locked up hanging precariously from a rope ready to die.

The chief says not to worry they finished the job. Looks like Prithvi got scared, they all were laughing at the situation when they gave the “pygam”. Did you see Prithvi’s face! Ahhaahah, otherwise he would have to die a severe death!
Pundir is listening to their conversation as the troops march on into the forest. He grabs the hand of the chief.
How dare you take my hand like this! Who are you? The chief is shocked.
