Alarm bells ring when King's lawyer Mr. Guleria comes bearing a Government notice to pay retrospective wealth tax of a whopping Rs 32 crore or give up the palace. Mishraji is worried, he knows he must act fast. But King is continuing to act childishly hopeless and hopelessly childish. Mishraji needs the King's four estranged daughters - the heiresses of Shikharwati - to return home and find a solution. He convinces King that this time, he has made such a foolproof plan, that the sisters will finally be re-united. King's eyes twinkle. He would love for his broken family to come back together. Mishraji sets out to meet the daughters. Luckily for Mishraji, he catches the four daughters - Devyani, Gayatri, Kamini and Uma - when they are each going through the lowest phase of their life. He presents each of them with a carrot - King has chosen a successor and wants to give her 200 crores in person. Down in the dumps in their own personal lives, they take the bait. With trepidation, the sisters return to their old home, and finally come face to face with each other and their father after 6 years. All hell breaks loose when Mishraji tells them that no successor has been chosen and they must compete with each other to win the prize money. The mention of a competition throws them into a rage. When they vehemently refuse to participate, King plays a trump card. He lies to his daughters that he is on his death-bed, and it is his dying wish that they play the Navrasa Royal Games one last time. Shocked at the revelation that their father might be dying, the daughters are rendered speechless. Mishraji is sure now the daughters have no option but to stay back.
