Knocking at all the doors, ultimately Devraj gets this money from a money-lender on one condition that he has not to lead the family life with his wife till he repays the amount.

True love thus supersedes Rajbai's move, but as luck would have it, Devraj receiving a letter of employment from the then Muslim Ruler leaves Sonal under the care of his old mother.
