Manu learns that the inmate from Jhansis palace, who made several attempts on her life, is none other than Motibai. Motibai confesses that her love for Gangadhar Rao was responsible for her acts. Just then, Gangadhar Rao arrives and disrupts their conversation. The king fails to recognise Manu as she is dressed as a commoner, and orders her arrest. A group of eunuchs enters the prison and offers sweets to the guards. When the soldiers fall unconscious, Samar Singh rescues Manu and helps her hide in the kings chariot to reach the palace. Motibai informs a worried Moropant that Gangadhar Rao is on his way to meet Manu to perform the wedding ritual. Motibai offers to take Manus place and go through the rituals so that Manus absence is not noticed. A terrified Moropant agrees to Motibais plan. Motibai gets dressed as the bride and savours being treated like a queen. However, her happiness is short-lived when Manu marches in, much to the relief of Moropant and Tatya Guru.
