On the other hand, it is just the beginning of Shallo's misfortune and her past follows her as a ghost. She is not accepted by the in-law who asked her to leave but she refuses. For that, she is meted out severe punishments.
In the meantime, Chander's younger sister Radha (Fadira Jalal) gets married in the same village, her husband Thakur Suraj Pratap Singh (Kishan Mehta) is a drunkard. Being a lady of virtue, Radha decides to set out to change her husband on one hand and tries to put Shallo's house in order on the other hand. Shallo's husband Ramu (Sujit Kumar) is convinced of his wife's virtue but the mother-in-law remains adamant. Consequently, Ramu decides to leave with his wife, and Thakur who has evil designs on Shallo gives them shelter in his Shikargaah. One night he calls Ramu, expresses his desire for Shallo, and offers a lot of money & comforts in exchange which hurts Ramu's self-respect and he violently protests, in the fight Ramu is killed.
