please tell me that why is it that an excited electron don't absorbs an extra photon before coming to ground state.

What makes you think that it doesn't?

okkkkkkkay i got the idea so excited electron can absorb more energy.

You are making very little sense here.

Multiphoton absorption is certainly possible and has been shown experimentally[1]. This is not new.
