Jalaluddin executes his plan to seize Delhi and then orders Alauddin to deal with a Mongol invasion on the capital. Alauddin goes on to raid Devagiri in a bid to establish his might. Jalaluddin is warned of Alauddin’s ambitions and travels to Devagiri to handle him. Alauddin captures Devagiri's princess and makes her part of his harem. Jalaluddin arrives and gifts the slave Malik Kafur to Alauddin to appease him. Alauddin challenges Malik to kill Jalaluddin’s guards to prove his loyalty. While Jalaluddin laughs it off, Malik kills them while Alauddin seizes the opportunity to assassinate a defenceless Jalaluddin, declaring himself Sultan. Padmavati journeys to Mewar with Ratan Singh. Ratan Singh introduces her to his royal priest, Raghav Chetan. To prove her worth as an intelligent woman the priest quizzes her. After she correctly answers him, Chetan begins to see her as a desirable asset. Later, Ratan and Padmavati are getting intimate when Ratan suspects somene is watching them. He throws a knife at the door. While they find no one there, Padmavati sees blood on the knife. Ratan suspects Chetan and orders him to his chambers under the pretext of catching the suspect. When he arrives, Ratan discovers a wounded Chetan confirming he was the voyeur. Chetan is banished from the kingdom for his act. All this infuriates Nagmati who becomes jealous of Padmavati winning the affections of Ratan. The banished Chetan travels to Delhi and seeks an audience with Alauddin. He tells the Sultan of Padmavati's intellect and beauty. The greedy Alauddin wants to possess such a unique woman, and invites the Rajputs to Delhi.
The Rajputs turn him down whidh infuriates the Sultan. He decides to attack Chittor and take Padmavati for himself. But he soon realises that the fort is virtually impenetrable after a number of failed attempts. Eventually he attempts a new tactic and calls for a truce, realizing this is the only way to enter the fort and get a chance to capture Padmavati. Under this pretext, he is allowed to enter Chittor where he meets Ratan. After extended conversations and interactions, he finally asks to see Padmavati. The Rajputs initially reject his request and let him know that he is alive only because he is a guest in their kingdom. Ratan later gives in and agrees for him to see his wife, but allows it for only a fleeting moment. In return, Alauddin invites Ratan to his campsite but kidnaps him and takes him prisoner back to Delhi. Alauddin’s only demand is to see Padmavati.
