FRIDAY 1ST JUNE, 2018.... UPDATE ON "JHANSI KI RANI"
EPISODE #283--285
SHOWN ON JOY PRIME
Laxmi Bai requests Gangadhar Rao to not declare about his pregnancy in the kingdom until she completes the first trimester. Gangadhar Rao agrees as he too wants to protect his child from any evil eye.
Vahinisaheb and Nelson get worried hearing the news about Laxmi Bai's pregnancy. Inspite of trying to keep complete secrecy, the news reaches Lord Dalhousie. The wicked Dalhousie orders Nelson to see to it that the heir of Jhansi does not see the light of the day even if it is at the cost of Laxmi Bai's life.
Nelson comes to know from a spy that Laxmi Bai plans to visit a temple situated on a hill top to seek blessings. Major Ellis overhears the conversation and decides to meet the Queen there.
Before Laxmi Bai can reach the temple, Nelson reaches a spot on the hill and places a stone idol of Krishna there. The idol is so placed that one has to stand atop a huge boulder to pray. Nelson loosens the sand below the stone to the extent that anyone who stands on it will suffer a fall.
Unaware of the conspiracy being hatched by Vahinisaheb and Nelson, Laxmi Bai along with Hirabai, Vahinisaheb, Chimnabai and Ganga leave for the temple.
Major Ellis reaches there and mistakes Ganga for Laxmi Bai. He pays her respect and starts escorting her to the temple.
On the way, a man posing as the pandit of the temple stops Laxmi Bai on her way and tells her that she should first pray to the idol of Krishna for the good health of her child.
Hirabai asks Laxmi Bai to immediately go to the idol and pray. Laxmi Bai stands on the boulder and offers aarti.
As planned, the boulder starts shaking and Laxmi Bai loses grip.
Everyone around is left shocked. Will Laxmi Bai fall down and suffer a fall?
Laxmi Bai slips from the boulder and starts falling down. Major Ellis manages to save her in the nick of time by positioning a hand cart at the bottom of the cliff. Laxmi Bai is saved but becomes unconscious.
While everyone else is relieved, Vahinisahed and Nelson get disappointed with the lost opportunity.
Laxmi Bai is immediately rushed to the palace where Gangadhar Rao summons the royal physician. The physician examines Laxmi Bai and says that she will take a while to completely recover as she has a few internal injuries.
Gangadhar Rao asks him if the child in her womb is fine. The physician reveals that Laxmi Bai is not pregnant much to Gangadhar Rao's surprise. The physician confirms that someone must have misdiagnosed Laxmi Bai as pregnant.
Hirabai who is also present in the chamber gets angry on hearing this. She screams at Daimaa for falsely informing Gangadhar Rao about Laxmi Bai's pregnancy without verifying.
Daimaa is ashamed but wonders how she erred inspite of her four-decade long experience.
After Laxmi Bai regains her senses, she apologizes to Gangadhar Rao and says that the incident was unintentional. She adds that she is thankful for the fact that Major Ellis saved her in the nick of time so that no harm is caused to the unborn child. Gangadhar Rao is pained to hear her but does not find words to tell her the truth that she is not pregnant.
Laxmi Bai goes on to say that she plans to host a meal for all the children in the kingdom so that their child is blessed. She adds that they should present Major Ellis too with a gift for saving the heir of Jhansi. Gangadhar Rao still does not muster the courage to tell her. When Moropant and Chimnabai enter Laxmi Bai's chamber, unlike her usual self Laxmi Bai takes extra precaution while climbing down from her bed.
Major Ellis takes a stern view of Nelson's attempt to murder Laxmi Bai . He threatens him to back off else he would report about his misconduct to Fort William. Nelson completely refutes the allegations and claims to have no role in the mishap with Laxmi Bai.
Laxmi Bai organizes a bhoj (meal) for a few children for the health and well-being of her unborn child. Aware of the fact that she is not pregnant, Laxmi Bai's enthusiasm pains Indu and Moropant who are also in the hall.
Hirabai too arrives and is upset seeing Laxmi Bai rejoicing out of ignorance. With a heavy heart, she tells Laxmi Bai that the royal physician has confirmed that she is not pregnant.
Laxmi Bai looks at her in utter disbelief. She runs to Indu, Moropant and even approaches Gangadhar Rao and questions them if Hirabai was true. However, seeing her hysterical condition, none dares to spell out the truth.
Laxmi Bai rushes to the physician and questions him. The physician admits that she was misdiagnosed as pregnant by Daimaa. Laxmi Bai is distraught hearing this and goes into a state of shock. Meanwhile, Vahinisaheb breaks the news to Nelson that Laxmi Bai is not pregnant. Nelson rejoices and says that he wished he was there to enjoy the sight when Laxmi Bai turned hysterical.
