Shortly after that, Anand knits a nurse, Maya, a spendthrift, does not get with Anand. Eventually, Anand's dad passes away, and he leaves considerable wealth to Anand's child, including a monthly allowance of Rs.10,000. At that time, Maya learns the birth secret of Anand's child, so she files a case in the court and wins. Therefore, Ratna Devi has to hand over the child to Maya, but the depressed child is not able to stay therein and flies.
