Episode 139

Overview

Gangadhar Rao is troubled as there are not enough funds to pay the British. He goes to Aaishri who tells him that it is the turn of his subjects to help him by paying extra taxes. Sakhubai tells Sleeman that he should reduce the time period given to Gangadhar Rao to pay the taxes. Aaishri tells Gangadhar to visit Guruji Maharaj. Laxmibai overhears Aaishri blessing Gangadhar Rao as he leaves. She also hears Aaishri telling her servant how she was successful in separating Manu and Gangadhar. Gangadhar tells Moropant to stay back in Jhansi. Jankibai tells Aaishri that Moropant and his family have been asked to stay back at Jhansi. Aaishri does not like this and insults Moropant indirectly. She tells him that he should live at Durgabai Wada and not in the palace. Laxmibai is practicing sword fight, and at that moment, Aaishri enters.
