Razia defends her actions by highlighting the discrimination made between men and women. The imams ask the Sultan to apologise to his subjects for his daughter's actions.

He is on his way home after spending time at Ghazni with his mentor, Taj al-Din Yildiz, the Sultan of Ghazni and a friend of Iltutmish. Turkan is anxious to ask the Sultan to appoint her son as the Subedar of Delhi. Rana Martand, the commander-in-chief, interrupts the Sultan and Turkan's celebration.

Razia is happy about celebrating Eid with her father. She goes to meet her brother and requests him to not reveal the fact that she invited Taj al-Din Yildiz. Shah Turkan and Rukn-ud-din are left wondering why the Sultan isn't celebrating with them. With the arrival of Nasir and Taj al-Din Yildiz, the Sultan and the royal family start the Eid celebrations. On the other hand, anger is building up in Rukn-ud-din's mind. What has the mother-son duo planned next?

The king is impressed with Qutub's preparations for his friend, Taj al-Din Yildiz. Impressed, the Sultan urges Qutub Begum to ask for a gift. It gets awkward when Shah Turkan and Rukn-ud-din try to convert their defeat to a victory by crashing the royal Eid celebrations. Shah Turkan presents the Sultan with a gift and a dance.

Meanwhile, Razia's excursion to the dargah is going well, until she crosses paths with Mirza, who is on his way to Delhi for the competition. Razia has an ittar dupatta that Mirza wants desperately. He attacks her to get his hands on it.

The Sultan sets the stage for the competition. Contestants hailing from different provinces must fight against savages and procure the Sultan's sword. Shah Turkan is worried about her son. Nasir leads the other contestants in the competition and fights bravely. He saves Rukn-ud-din from the savages, but Rukn-ud-din shows his true colours by going alone after the sword. Both Nasir and Rukn-ud-din catch hold of the sword at the same time. Meanwhile, Mirza observes the competition.
