After that, Raja and Rani participate in a competition of shoemakers called 'Mera Jutha hai Hindustani' as the winner of the competition gets a loan from the government to start their shoe factory. They both fail in the selection round. So, they decided to go with the wild card entry and along with them Kesha participates, as she had a deal with her father that if Raja and Rani were out of the competition, she can come home. So, with Utsav's trust she goes to competition. Meanwhile, Raja gets badly injured in the eye while he makes the soles of the shoes with a chemical glue.
