Her maid suggests her to pray to Lord [[Vithoba]] (generally known as Vitthal by most common people of Maharashtra) in [[Pandharpur]], a holy place in Maharashtra. Out of eagerness, Sumitra Devi promises to give her first son to Lord Vitthal.

As fate would have it, she gets pregnant soon and confirms the good news to Pratap Singh.

When the baby is born, and Sumitra Devi calls up Pratap Singh and tells him that she is now convinced of keeping the baby. He comes back as soon as possible and names the baby Abhay Singh, or Prince, as a nickname.

On the other hand, there is Prince's paternal cousin Sangram ([[Sharad Kelkar]]) is a crooked guy, who is trying to take all farms from the farmers by torturing them. On hearing this, Pratap Singh warns him for doing so. A few days later, Pratap Singh is killed and it is implied that Sangram was behind his death.
