Rani Bharti's life takes an interesting turn when her husband, Bhim Singh Bharati, announces her to be the next Chief Minister of Bihar. While all the party members look pretty excited to know the name of the successor, this decision by Bihar’s CM shocks everyone." As the new CM and a homemaker, the politicians expect Maharani to be a pawn in their political games but they are shocked when Rani starts standing up for herself and speaks up fiercely.
