''Thakur'' of the village (Lalit Parimoo) had bad intentions towards ''Kajri'' so he asked his special man ''Bhoja'' (Sanjay Mishra) to get ''Kajri'' for him but ''Kajri'' was very loyal towards her husband and one day she attacked ''Thakur'' in her defence. Rather than praising her, ''Kishnu'' warns ''Kajri'' to not to behave like this with Thakur ever again and this was the heartbreak for ''Kajri'' as she never imagined a husband who will leave her alone to fight with the world. Sad ''Kajri'' was trying to convince herself that if her husband will see him with any other man he will definitely react. Here ''Bhoja'' fell in love with ''Kajri'' and this gave her idea to test her husband by using ''Bhoja'' to see her husband's reaction.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://navbharattimes.indiatimes.com/video/entertainment/movie-kanchali-starcast-interview/videoshow/73769680.cms|title=जब 'कांचली' की स्‍टारकास्‍ट के साथ हुई बॉलिवुड गपशप|website=navbharattimes.indiatimes.com|language=hi|access-date=2020-03-21}}</ref><ref name=":0">{{Citation|title=Kaanchli Life In A Slough Movie Review: Low on content, high on skin show|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/entertainment/hindi/movie-reviews/kaanchli-life-in-a-slough/movie-review/73982041.cms|access-date=2020-03-21}}</ref>
