They have got a Son called SURYA PRATAP (Aditya) & second one is on the way. SHESHNAG (Sadashiv), the devil, has got a grudge against SATYADEO because one of the henchmen of SHESHNAG was sentenced to death due to SATYADEO. 

Luck plays its part, SATYADEO's wife is in hospital for the delivery of her second child. Lot of money is required for the operation. SATYADEO goes to SHESHNAG for the help. SHESHNAG, the shrewd fellow, takes the complete advantage of the situation, gives him money, and makes SATYADEO agree to work for him.
