Thakur Vijay Singh who was the ruler of the Jagir and father of Shanti, never wanted this thing to happen. Thakur wanted to make Shanti, his only daughter to be the heir of the Jagir.

Rana Jang Bahadur who was the head of the army had his own plans. He wanted to become the legal heir of the Jagir. One night Shanti came out of her palace to meet Amar who was not only her lover but a famous decoit too. 

She came out of her palace in disguise of a maidservant, instructing her loyal servant to inform her if the condition worsened. 

Rana came to know of the love affair and informed Thakur Sahib. Thakur being an honorable Rajput got inflamed and ordered Rana to attack. The servant girl came to know of the attack. She ran out to Inform Rajkumari in the dress of princess.
