Ek Tha Raja Ek Thi Rani 20th March 2017 Written Episode, Written Update on TellyUpdates.com
Mummy and Rekha come to take Naina. Naina sat on the floor in corridor stubborn that she won’t leave, she isn’t afraid of that ghost and Rani has no right over her husband. She is ready to wait until she believes Raja if fine.
Rani asks Raja to fill her head partition with sindoor and turn her into his bride once again. Raja recalls marrying Naina. Raja takes the sindoor.
Naina watches Vikrant walking as if in sleep. She wonders Vikrant never sleep walks then where is he going. She follows him.
Raja throws the sindoor away saying she had a right over him until she lived but she isn’t a reality anymore. The truth is, Rani is dead and only Naina is the reality. He only loves Naina. Rani was enraged, she pushes Raja to the wall.
Naina comes to the hall behind Vikrant, the doors behind her were shut. She hears Bari Rani Maa laughing, her shadow visible on the chair however the chair was empty. Bari Rani maa finally appears to her.
Rani cries blood as she sat over Raja. He tries to sit up but Rani kept on sitting over her, she assures she is here. She was concerned that Raja is hurt because of her. Rani asks why he teases her, she didn’t want to hurt her. They have got this time after much difficulty, and he brought that Naina in between. She tells Raja that their story is different because he is Raja and she is Rani.
Vikrant disappears from Naina’s side. Naina was concerned about what happened with Vikrant. Bari Rani Maa laughs, while Naina keeps on calling Vikrant.
Rani says Raja always promised their love even after death, then how can he hate his Rani.
Bari Rani Maa tells Naina she loved taking swings in childhood, but now she is already dead.
Raja tells Rani to get over him calling her as Chipkali. She hurries down him confirming what he called her. He says the same, Chipkali. He holds her hand.
Naina wonders where Vikrant is, Bari Rani Maa says the game would end if she tells her about it. Naina says Vikrant is a child. Bari rani Maa says its her childhood in the next birth. She tells Naina Vikrant is in the same room.
Raja holds Rani’s hand and says he can never hate her, she is a part of him and hating her means hating himself. When he thought she betrayed him even then he was unable to forget her. Then, how can he hate her when she loves him so much, but… Rani asks what Raja?
Naina looks for Vikrant. Vikrant was suffocating in the dark. Bari Rani maa laughs, her voice piercing through Naina’s ear drums so much that her ears bleed.
Raja says he has been unable to understand this new Rani. She is Rani, but not his Chipkali. Chipkali didn’t let him hurt Jeev Jantu, then how can she take a girl’s life out of rage only.
Bari Rani Maa points a finger to bold the trunk Vikrant was locked in. Vikrant knocks the trunk.
Raja asks if Rani lost the control over herself so easily, his love was like an angel, a fairy or a devi but this Rani… Rani qualifies a shadow of devil.
Bari Rani Maa unveils her hair and reads a riddle. Her braid elongating towards Naina and clutches her feet tightly.
Raja says he wished when years later anyone would narrate their story, they would say Ek tha Raja Ek thi Rani. He says he has nothing to do with Naina who is only her duplicate, but he only wants his Rani back. He can’t love this black Rani. She must turn to the Rani he loved.
Naina calls Vikrant about reaching him soon. Bari Rani Maa laughs again.
Rani assures Raja that she can do anything for him. She will change. But Raja must promise he won’t go to Naina, else she will hurt her as much as to kill her. Raja holds Rani’s face, both hug each other. Raja promises not to even think about her, they will begin a new life together; there was determination over his face.
Naina asks Bari Rani Maa why she is bringing this innocent between them. Bari Rani Maa says she wants to hurt Raja, he would only be hurt when his loved ones are in trouble. Naina asks why she has an enemity with Raja. Bari Rani Maa says she loved Raja once, but he turned to be the son of Raaj Mata only. Now, her heart would be soothed only when Raja would watch the dead body of this child. Naina cries calling Vikrant not to panic.
Rani watches Raja in the bed. She says she fall in love with Raja while he was asleep, now she would watch him sleep each night. She sits up at once intrigued by some noises. Raja was concerned. Rani hushes him up.
In the truck, Vikrant ceases to breathe. Naina calls his name. Rani thinks she must prove to Raja about her love. She tells Raja she would be the same Rani who could do anything for good.
PRECAP: Rani tells Bari Rani Maa she would be accomplished if she gets Raja’s love after changing herself. Bari Rani Maa takes a nail off her hand, saying Rani won’t live till tomorrow morning.

when will this nonsense end why are you tarnishing rani’ image?she was this sweet individual and now look what you guys are doing anyways i do not think rani is dead this old witch probably has something to do with it and how can raja love naina she can never be his rani she is just a replica of rani and we can never expect anything good from the old witch she loves torturing kids remember when rani was little man i just do not know what else to say except i am really getting sick and tired of this crap you know the feeling that you know what you want to say but you just won’t for the fear of saying something stupid and i am not a person who is loss for words in my profession i talk all the damn time but right now i am loss for words imagine how this serial got me all entwine steww
What a disrespect to the dead! People usually pray that the soul of their loved ones,attain salvation but here in this serial, dead souls have the ability to walk, talk, cry, laugh, plot schemes like BRM and seek revenge. ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Don’t like this Rani … want Don back with Naina
Im really hoping Rani is not dead because Raja with that stupid Naina defies logic. Even though i no longer like Raja because its seems that all he knows to do is betray Rani, the name of the show is Etretr not etretn hopefully those stupid writers will remember this and bring back Rani not as a ghost but as the original Rani who is very much alive and very much missed.
How much low Raaja character can go ,he remembers marrying Naina not Rani,how beautiful tha wedding was. Writer well done for destroying the serial,very soon u will not have story to write when all the views stopped watching.I feel I’m not watching Sarrtaj anymore,how brilliant actor he used to be ,but now I really hate his character then Naina.
Please end the serial… It is no less than torture… In today’s episode I got convinced that rani ghost is indeed rani n not any other evil spirit… Very pathetic, dumb and regressive stuff… Very bad…
Totally agree
Yes Naz,they certainly don’t know how to respect the dead.And it is quite obvious that they have brought back Rani just to pacify the outraged viewers life us.The makers thought that Rani’s lookalike will be accepted by all the viewers but when their expectations were proved wrong ,they couldn’t think of anything else other than showing Rani as a spirit..Actually the character of Rani was over and done with,with the death of Rani in the hospital, as per the admission of Eisha herself in an interview given to SBS immediately after death scene was shot.So what we are seeing is only a hotchpotch arrangement..zit looks as if the makers don’t know how to continue with the story.How I wish that they should not have brought in Naina and continue with Rani’s character only ,if the need be,with a new Rani.I do remember a 2009 Zee serial Pavitra Rishta which was quite a hit and the leads were Manav and Archana played by the smart Sushant Rajput and a beautiful Ankita ,both of them in their early 20s that time.After more than a year or so when the show took a leap of 18 years Sushant ,not willing to play father and grandfather left the show and Hiten was brought in and he did full justice as a father and grandfather AND Ankita ,only 24 at that time ,who is an excellent actress and much more beautiful than Eisha ,did not hesitate to act both as a mother and a grandmother.The serial finally ends with Manav dying in an accident and Archana unable to bear the shock,takes the last breath and joins her husband in the heaven.Now that is called eternal love and Naz ETRETR should have been on the same lines.They have destroyed the essence of the story.
Sorry for typing errors
Yes Ankita Lokhande did play mother but threatened the producers that if she has to play grandmother then she should be given the role of Grand daughter else she will quit the show.. So she played a younger role of Grand daughter too.. Bcos of the special treatment meted out to Ankita.. Actors Asha negi and ritvik dhanjani who were the hit parallel lead of the show n also main pillar of season 2 quit the show.. One by one everyone wanted to quit Bcos of special treatment to Ankita n grand daughter’s story hardly survived for an year.. The show was moved from prime time slot n eventually ended.. So every show faces probs when long leaps are taken…
N not only that.. To play mother too Ankita demanded a pay hike threw tantrums which did not go well with her costars n eventually Balaji telefilms end the show… N Pavitra rishta was also having weak tracks n lot of dragging in between… I have seen this serial from start to end… N it was not flawless.. N when Asha n ritvik quit the show many viewers demanded that they be brought back even if Ankita was lead.. Ok agree that manav n Archana died together but this is the typical end of most of the Balaji telefilms serials… But it’s OK if a serial tries to take a different track unless of course regressive content is not introduced..
This is what I said earlier to reiterate your point Lakshmi,, when Eisha had refused to do age related role,they could have changed her…simple, after all, she had been in an accident and could have had facial reconstruction with Raja singing the hospital forms. However, those butchers chopped up a beautiful story and fed to the dogs, soon the only people alive in that serial will be Raja and Naina, and her adopted dadu. As you’ve also said, they gave us back Rani albeit a ghost to appease viewers like you and me but they bargained badly…and the biggest joke is that they think we on this side are beggars,waiting patiently for their handout when they see it fit that they can resume airing the serial again. I have to ask myself as to why wasn’t etretr resumed as soon as possible as per “fan” enquiry? ZEETV wants to punish us, that’s what I come up with. If this is what we have to be seeing, it’s best that it not be resumed, this is the crapp viewers are begging and waiting patiently for ? I’m OK with just reading the updates, not worth my wait. I’ve been watching Woh Apna Sa, Naamkarran 2nd season, because 1st season was painful to watch but I haven’t regretted waiting for 2nd…good turnaround and Dil Se Dil Tak…..all three deals with current societal problems of illegitimacy, surrogacy and WAS deals with the pain of divorce and remarriage and abuse which incidentally does happen in marriages but is swept under the carpet, when the male is on the receiving end. So my dear sis…I’m not missing etretr one bit. Reading update here is enough for me and exchanging thoughts on the serial is good as well. Have a lovely day and a productive one as well…..go slay some dragons in court, I know you will be successful. Lollllllll
Well said Naz. I agree with you. I don’t look at the serial any more.
Absolute rubbish this serial is. How on earth can they make raja forget his wife so quickly whom he loved like crazy and to now love this doo-doo brain, stupid lookalike that has absolutely no connection to him? How ? How? How? This is stupidity and senselessness beyond human comprehension. Why didn’t they just change Eisha and bring w new girl? India had lots of beautiful actresses that can maturely, instead they mess up the serial with this utter foolishness? Hasn’t Zee realised that there’s a world behind India, with more intelligent viewers who will not buy there nonsensical storyline? Jeezzzzz
Not to mention that no one is indispensable, lots of other actresses who would have loved to do the role, she was too confident that they can’t do with her and she proved them right, no one’s gonna hold me ransom nah..you have to let go at times to see what comes back to you. What other serial are you watching now? How things my dear? Working hard as usual ehh…you go girrlllll….
Can’t help it.. As per sbs… Plot is well received.. I checked on YouTube to check out comments.. It is mixed response.. Some want rani back.. Some like naina.. N some of them are even enjoying paranormal plot.. It’s a very small sample size still… So at the aggregate level serial is getting good response with eisha’s acting well appreciated in both the roles… So now choice is ours…
Archana, do you think that the youtubers have been watching as long as us, from its inception.? Most if not all the names are not one bit familiar to me on YouTube.
Naz.. I don’t know that.. But i have been watching since inception but started commenting here n sometimes on YouTube only since this Don naina season.. N I also observed that some ppl commenting on YouTube are commenting on Twitter as well as sometimes here too… Names are different but language of comments n writing style familiar.. So there are bunch of ppl who are only one individual but commenting under multiple names.. N I doubt if any of them are from etretr’s niche market..
How could they think ,they can kill our sweet Rani than ,we all expect that brainless Naina who has no chemistry with Raaja. Don’ role in an insult of khan movie,Raaja looks like a loser,confused & worse life partner ever.They could have made 2 years leaps or keep the story going with different twist ,or let Eisha go to be honest right know lot of fans don’t care her role as Naina,I read lot off criticism every where.If the writer thinks this track going to work with brainless Naina & loser Donje, they must go insane.
Yes c why only eisha.. Like the previous pair sidhant n drashti didn’t want to play parents n hence were written off the show… Similarly eisha n even sartaj don’t want to play parents… So makers could either reincarnate the pair or change the pair altogether… Since sartaj eisha pair resurrected the show they retained them..n took a different route to exploit their real life age difference… We cannot overlook their attempt to do something different… Afterall that is creative freedom.. N this freedom is good as long as they don’t become perverted which unfortunately now etretr has become…. But I somehow feel the end of this season will be Don n naina having a daughter mostly n a new pair or eisha with new lead may come in… I somehow don’t feel sartaj will be part of future seasons unless they reincarnate Don-Naina which I don’t think they may wish to do… N we all must stop watching the show for the perversion it’s portraying…
Sorry I mean worst partner,I don’t even know how to describe him right now,I hate u Raaja very much.
It’s not a mixed response,majority of the views hate Naina.u can check YouTube,Twitter & Instagram than u will find out what ,I’m saying.Majority of the views want Rani back period,& happy ending.
I did read responses that are OK with naina.. N also some responses which or OK with this ghost twist too… I checked YouTube only.. But whatever it is there is a certain segment which is OK with the plot… N BTW sample size is still too small… A week back I read a news item whose opening sentence was since the past few days plot is well received.. N the fact that there are no rumor Mills floating around that show is going to end.. It means it is not doing badly… N we don’t have responses anywhere of the real target market of this show…
Archana, a lot of the viewers on You Tube (when checked since her inception) like Naina, yes some wanted Rani back but not in the role she now performs … personally I do not like this supernatural idea and moreso the fact that the writers now have Raja laying on the bed next to a dead person (creepy … ewwww)
what I think should be done now to “salvage Rani’s character” … is to portray Laila as Rani’s ghost, stating that she is jealous about Naina and Don’s relationship … Rani has already attained salvation so she is no longer a part of the serial …
then further, for the viewers to find out that Naina is indeed Rani’s twin sister taken at birth by her current mother … mind you, remember that Rani did approve Don Ji and Naina’s relationship so the show can now go on from there and in a “normal capacity” …
while I realise some ppl do not like Naina’s bubbly nature, they also need to remember she is ‘supposedly’ very young (or so she was told by her mom) and she is ‘acting’ that age …
All they need to do is rename to Ek Tha Donji Ek Tha Naina and Ek Tha Bhoot lol. Then no association to the original show as all original cast is nowhere to be seen.
Bay the way majority of the commentators here ,I can say ,it is two or three who like Naina here .Every body would loved Naina & Donje track if they had killed both Raaja & Rani.Than start a new track a gain like season 1.
Hi.. We are still a small number of commentators.. N as of now no news of etretr going off air.. So that means show is not faring badly.. That’s all I can say… N everyone has the right to like/dislike a character n present their views on the same…n anyways our subjectivity depends on our individual temperament n approach towards life too… One wrong assumption that most of you made is serials are a recreation of eternal love stories.. Even those serials which ended like eternal love stories had their fair share of infidelity, premarital n extramarital affairs, negative portrayal of mother in law daughter in law relationships, multiple marriages n sometimes illegitimate children too all of which are sins.. A widow/widower moving on in life is no way a sin… N we all love ppl even after their death.. But if dead return as ghosts /vampires/zombies.. We will surely run away from them… So whatever bitter things raja said to Rani ghost are also fine.. If she was alive raja must be with her not not naina.. But she is dead…
