He also fraudulently takes signatures of Shankaran on certain property papers. However, Shankaran's mother is a very intelligent lady and catches Raja red-handed but she does not hand him over to the police when she learns that he is her step-son. Meanwhile, Shankran is unable to handle Chanda's rejection and is in grief. Nevertheless, he too excuses Raja after he learns that he is his step-brother. When their father Krishnakant returns from abroad and becomes aware of this, he is very upset. He is about to take action against Raja but excuses him after he learns that he is his elder son.
