Will Baji finally manage to escape in Peshwa Bajirao’s next episode?

Tara Bai determines that it is time to take Raje saheb to go to war against the Mughals. On hearing this news, Balaji Vishwanath is a bit apprehensive as he feels that Raje Saheb is not ready to fight a war. He voices his concerns to Tara Bai and Tara Bai gives him an earful saying that it was Balaji Vishwanath’s duty to get Raje Saheb ready for war by Gudi Padwa, and if Raje Saheb is not ready, Balaji Vishwanath is to blame. She goes on to state that Raje Saheb is the son of the brave Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaja and has his brave blood running through his veins, yet if Balaji Vishwanath thinks that Raje Saheb is not ready for war, then he must accompany them and protect Raje Saheb whenever needed.

In the meantime, back in the Dandak’s cave, Baji continues to be tortured by the Dandak and his posse. The Dandak throws food at Baji’s face and Baji refuses to eat the food until not given to him in his hands. On hearing these words, the Dandak punches Baji in the stomach and Baji falls straight to the ground yet Baji manages to muster up some strength to pick himself up. He stands tall in front of the Dandak and the Dandak is about to hit him with a weapon when one of the Dandak’s followers stops him and tells him to gain control over Baji so that he will do as they please and actually be of some use to them. The Dandak sees sense in what his adherent is saying and leaves Baji alone.

On the other hand, the anxious Radhabai creeps up to the Dandak’s cave in order to save Baji and the children from the Dandak’s clutches. She is about to get caught by the Dandak’s adherents but due to her wit manages to escape, but just one time. She gets caught by the Dandak’s adherent, and on being asked about her identity, she says that she is a mother; the mother to those kids, who the Dandak has been torturing for days together.

Back in the Dandak’s cave, Baji and his friends are worried and almost losing all hope. They are worried that if not at the hands of the Dandak, they sure will die due to hunger. Baji remains positive and says that they will escape. He manages to find a route to escape, but due to Gotya’s leg injury, he is unable to make it through the exit path. This upsets Parshu and he tells Baji not to risk everybody’s lives for one person. In his anger he stomps off away from his friends.

Baji manages to devise a way in which the injured Gotya too can escape, and just as he is about to call Gotya, the Dandak appears in front of him. Will Baji and his friends manage to escape, or will the Dandak continue to traumatise the innocent children?

Wait to watch for next updates.
