Rani starts to believing Pratima to be her mother which lead to Pratima and Chander to marry, making Rajan disheartened as he wanted to marry her.
Chander suggests changing the company's structure. The traditionalist Rajan becomes infuriated. Protesting this, Chander resigns and starts his own matchbox company, Eagle and becomes the leading matchbox manufacturer. This begins Rajan's downfall, his charity and donating activities have eaten up profit and ends up putting his house on sale. Chander calls for the highest bid and wants to give it back to Rajan, but being the man that he is, Rajan would not accept. Thus, Chander and Pratima shift to Laxmi Bhavan. Later, Pratima gives birth to Munna. Munna likes playing with Rajan's dove.
Due to Rajan's loss, Pratima shows her sympathy to him, much to Chander's dismay which leads him to become addicted to drugs. He starts drinking alcohol and thus join lavish parties. Meanwhile, Rani falls off the staircase and dies making Rajan crestfallen. Later, Munna becomes sick, who wants to play with Rajan's dove.
