He runs away to save himself from the police. However, Hori gives a bribe to the police to save his brother and remove his name from the allegation to kill the cow. The story takes a turn when Bhola’s daughter, Jhunia, a widow, escapes with Hori’s son Gobar after she gets pregnant with his child.

Gobar also runs away on account of the action he will have to face from the other villagers. However, Hori was unable to let go of the poor, helpless girl and therefore accepts Jhunia as their daughter-in-law. As a result, the village Panchayat fines Hori for his wife had handled the attack of a pandit for giving shelter to Jhunia. Again, Hori has to take a loan and pay a certain amount. Now, he has a lot of debt on him, and he marries his daughter off for just 200 rupees to save his ancestral land from being sold. Now he wishes to pay the amount and buy a cow to feed his grandson.

Excessive work leads to the death of Hori. Just before his death, Dhania took all the money she had and made Hori pay the amount to the priest on account of cow donation which fulfills Hori’s dream, but he cannot fulfill his wish to buy a cow to feed his grandson in future. The story shows the misery faced by the people in the rural areas. Hori is a victim of all exploitation and goes through all the problems that are faced by a common man. In spite of all this, he maintains his honesty and knows his duties very well.

In the end, however, all his desires do not come true. His death is said to be a partially satisfied one. This TV show was a very famous serial among the viewers on account of the simplicity of the story and the way it depicts the condition of the people in the rural areas.
