• 14:00 - 14:30 A couple years ago... A girl went to a henna grove near her mother's house to gather henna leaves. As she picked the leaves, a sound broke the silence... Hisssssss... Hisssss... Following the sound, she found a cobra coiled among the mehendi bushes. ...which was ready to strike.
• 14:30 - 15:00 The cobra seemed to regard her with an air of, 'Who is this girl in my place? After seeing this... Terrified, the girl screamed, 'My Krishna!' and fled. But fate had other plans. She stumbled and fell within the henna forest. Her body was covered in henna thorns. And she started to cry. She was caught between the cobra and the thorns. And that's when Kannan showed up. He used a stick to drive the cobra away. He then lifted the girl into his arms.
• 15:00 - 15:30 He gently removed the thorns from her body and carried her to her doorstep. From that day onward, the girl began to fall in love with Kannan. Because of Kannan's arrogance, Badra was unable to express her love. Is that right, Badra? Who are you?
• 15:30 - 16:00 Dear Lord, if I have said anything wrong, please forgive me.
• 16:00 - 16:30 Am I the one who is supposed to forgive you Badra...? or is it Malini? 4 Days ago Hey, Did you saw Marvels Movie trailer? Yes, Superb The kids are buzzing about the trailer!
