Yashoda gives birth to a baby boy who appears to be dead. Valmiki comes to know about it and shows his pity to Ramchandra. Valmiki offers to exchange his newly born son with the dead one. Ramchandra accepts the officer after initial reluctance.
After switching the children, the dead child gains consciousness. The Nurse wants to inform Ramchandra in this regard. However, Valmiki tries to stop her from reaching Ramchandra. Both Valmiki and the Nurse fall from upstairs accidentally.
The Nurse goes into Coma, and Valmiki gets her leg injured and starts limping permanently. Valmiki hides this fact with Ramchandra because he wants his son to grow in a better living environment.

Raj is timid, innocent, and soft-spoken, while Bantu is smart, outspoken, and hard-working. Valmiki, who favors Raj, treats Bantu with disgust due to his true parentage. Raj also dislikes Bantu due to his parentage.
Bantu start working with Amulya (Kriti Sanon), and soon they fall in love with each other. Nandini is the love interest of Raj. However, Raj starts hovering around Amulya.
