As India’s first national democratic election approaches, Lata finds herself courted by three very different suitors.
The general election is approaching. While Kabir Durrani remains desperate to make amends, Lata finds herself courted by Amit and Haresh in Calcutta. Romantic gestures from both suitors over the Christmas holidays compound Lata’s confusion about her feelings for all her admirers.
Maan is once again separated from Saeeda Bai when he accompanies his father on the campaign trail to the nawab’s village seat in Rudhia. Their relationship is improving at last, but Maan’s lingering passion for Saeeda Bai threatens to destroy everything.
