Episode 260

Laxmibai tries to convince Gangadhar about her innocence but he walks away in fury. When he returns to the palace, he is upset at the welcome. Laxmibai too comes to the palace and informs Moropant and Chimnabai about her miscarriage. Moropant accuses her of betraying Gangadhar's trust as a queen and a wife. He warns her to mend her ways at least now. Laxmibai pleads with Gangadhar to forgive her but he accuses her of only wanting to be a warrior, not a mother. He says that she would have even made her child as selfish as her. He then gives her an ultimatum ' she should remain either a queen and a warrior, or a wife and a mother. Gangadhar declares that, henceforth, they would stay in separate chambers. Laxmibai is shattered with his announcement.
