All are in Court, Ruqaiya taunts Jodha that I told you Jalal will free me from this arrest!
Jalal comes there and says I was saved by Jodha, so I am announcing a ceremony in her respect, I will distribute coins of her name in the ceremony. He calls Murad in Court and says Murad got involved with the enemies, but then returned to his family and helped me, so I will lessen his punishment, he will not stay in Agra, he will go to Paten and will handle things there, I am giving responsibility to him.
Jalal then calls Ruqaiya and says Ruqaiya first deliberately drenched the spices in water, and put them on fire, she also burnt my letter which I sent to Jodha, Ruqaiya says but… Jalal says this is not your Harem (Women Quarters) but my Court! Only I will speak! He says I have been soft towards her, but now, I will punish you, you should thank Jodha who doesn’t want you to get punished but what you have done, you wil be punished for! You will be deported to Kabul, you will live there from now on and can’t return without my order! And till then, she will be house arrested!
Ruqaiya cries and says but… Jalal says enough! He ask his Soldiers to take her! The Soldiers drag her from there, Jodha is tensed.
Salima ask Hamida to eat something, Hamida says how can I eat? Jalal has ordered Ruqaiya to leave, Salima says we can’t do much, this is Jalal’s order and it can’t be changed, eat something, Hamida says how will Ruqaiya live alone there? Salima says Ruqaiya have done so much to put Jodha down, she had put Jalal in danger by hiding Jalal’s letter, if Murad had not told the truth, then anything could have happened, Murad should be punished more, he should be put in jail!
Hamida ask Salima to not worry, Jalal will call Murad back soon, he is his Son afterall, Salima ask her to eat, Hamida says you eat with me, they both eat together.
Ruqaiya is all messed up, her hairs and make up is smashed, she ask Hoshiyar did you give my message to Jalal?? Is he coming to meet me? Hoshiyar says he denied meeting you, she cries, he ask should I make hookah for you? Ruqaiya says I am not in the mood! He ask should I lit lighter, as it’s dark in the room? Ruqaiya says no, my life is dark without Jalal, she ask him to leave her alone, now I will have to live with loneliness! Hoshiyar leaves, Ruqaiya cries.
Jodha is eating food, Hoshiyar comes and greets her, he says I know my status, but I want to request you, I still remember those days when my birthday was celebrated here, your heart and thinking is very big, I know what Ruqaiya did was wrong, but she is not fine, she is not mentally fine, Jodha says iw know, Hoshiyar says I know she can’t be forgiven, but she just wants to meet Jalal one last time, only you can do this, he leaves.
Jalal comes to Jodha and says it’s all my favourite food, Jodha says I wanted to surprise you with food but you spoilt it, Jalal says let’s eat, he eats and coughs, Jodha gives him water and smiles, she says you know why you coughed? As you want to finish all this alone, Jalal says if you wanted to eat, then you could have made it for yourself, this is all mine, Jodha says you act like a child sometimes.
Jalal sit in her feet and says you have given me heart and I can become a child in front of you too, she ask him to sit on the Sofa, Jalal sit and says I am lucky as God has sent you in my life, you are a good Cook too, Jodha smiles and says I am lucky too, she says I want to says something, meet Ruqaiya once, Jalal says you know what you are saying?
Jalal says to Jodha that Ruqaiya have betrayed him, Jodha says I accept, but you have spent large part of your life with her, meet her once, Jalal says it’s her punishment! Jodha says you have swear on me to meet her, Jalal says why you do this? Jodha says agree to me then, they smile.
Ruqaiya is crying in her room. Jalal comes to her room, he sees her on the floor crying. Jalal say I heard you want to meet me? Hearing his voice, she stands up and comes near Jalal. Jalal tells her to stay put, and not forget that she’s a criminal and he’s the Emperor, so whatever she wants to say, stay away and say it!
Ruqaiya says I understand Jalal, my crime is not forgettable, but I did all this in jealousy and did a mistake, because I feel you are slowly becoming Jodha’s and you are away from me, now you tell me what I should have done? You give business responsibilities to Jodha and she became Khash begum (the exquisite one of the palace) and you also gave her Malika-e-Hind (Queen Mother) position, then you gave your heart to her as well, which was fully my right, and what did I get? On your life, I don’t have any right. She says your life, your world, your everything starts on Jodha and finish on her! And i can’t’t tolerate this, so I committed this mistake, please forgive me Jalal.
Jalal say Ruqaiya, it means whatever you did till today was to see Queen Jodha down, right Ruqaiya? You know because of you, today, the Mughal Saltanate is facing problems, because of you, my life was also at risk, I always forgive you because you are my childhood friend, but today, you cross all your limits!
Jalal says to Ruqaiya that I don’t want to see your face, but because of Queen Jodha, I came here, he told her nice! Ruqaiya, you destroy all Jodha’s wish, but today, she fulfilled your wish! She always accept you, she always feel your pain, I feel shameful of your thinking today!
Ruqaiya plead on Jalal’s feet and say please forgive me this last time, I will never even do this my dream, please forgive me. Jalal says to her how to forgive you Ruqaiya? You did not leave me any choice to forgive you?? How much you go down that I can’t help you up… Pack your stuff and get ready for go Ruqaiya! Jalal leaves her room without listening to her plead.
Jalal comes to Jodha’s room. He was told Jodha is having her bath, and on hearing this, Jalal comes to Jodha who become tensed and ask the Maid to giver her her clothes. Jalal tells the Maid to leave them alone. She leaves.
Jodha tells Jalal that you know Emperor, that I am bathing? Jalal say I know. Jodha says he’s shameful, that even after knowing this, he still came here? Jalal says to her that today is a special day, so I feel in a way that your bath will make ir special, and no one gets this chance of the Emperor helping in one’s bathe, so don’t feel shy Queen Jodha, as this right, no one gets it even Malika-e-Hind (Queen Mother), but only one person gets this, which is my Soulmate, whom I love so much, who is my life who is my Queen Jodha.
Jalal says I also know how to give bathe, so look Jodha, I will bathe you with my own hand. The whole world is seeing how important you are in my life today.
Jodha tells Jalal that Ruqaiya also stays in your heart, if today, I am not here, so Ruqaiya get this, what happened? Why are you silent? Jalal tells her I don’t want to talk about this.
Jodha come to Ruqaiya’s room, she give clothes to her for the Ceremony, but she did not accept it and tells her to give it to some other Queen! She says I can’t come for the Ceremony.
Queen Salima also comes there, she also request her to wait for the ceremony, but she tells that now, no meaning is left when Jalal doesn’t want to see me, so what do I do there, you ask Queen Jodha, for whom I should come then? Please forgive me for this, but I can’t come there.
Queen Salima helps Murad in dressing up, she helps him wear his coat, Murad tells her to give it, he will wear it himself, but she helps him saying because of this, I get to see you, I don’t know when next I will see you after this. He tells her to sit, he tells her you always become a good mother, but I was never a good Son, you always stay loyal and help the Mughal Saltanate, and what did I do? Please forgive me Mother.
Salima say to him not to say this, I so much love you, and I don’t know how I will be able to stay without you, I make Kheer for you, I know you loved my hand Kheer, she feeds Murad.
Rahim comes and seeing this, he says I hope the Emperor also sent me away, so I get your love too like this Mother. Murad tells Rahim that I can’t get this much love bahijaan/Brother, I am Mother’s favourite. Rahim says Murad, you are also my favourite. Rahim give his favourite sword to Murad, and tells that this sword is my favourite and you’ve always wanted this, but this sword is not more favourite than you are to me.
Birbal comes in anguri baag to meet Jodha. Jodha asks him about Ruqaiya’s condition and also says without Emperor, she can’t stay happy, so give me some solution for solving this problem. Birbal say her one solution is there and says something to her which is muted.
In Jalal’s room, Jalal says Jodha, you think whatever Ruqaiya did, for that, I gave her more punishment compared to her crime. why don’t you trust my decision? You feel she’s not a criminal? Jodha say this is not it, Emperor, I know she did a big crime, I’m also angry with her, but I want to say give her one more chance.
Jalal says I did not want to give her another chance, as I already gave her so much chance. Jodha says Emperor, she wants to leave Agra before the ceremony. Jalal gets mad at Jodha and say why are you are like this? Why do you always take Ruqaiya’s side?? She has done so many things so you could go down in front of everyone, even with all that, you still want to forgive her??
Jodha say it’s because I know how much she loves you, so this one time, forgive her please. Jalal say NO, whatever happens, I am not going to forgive her! Jodha say you don’t have right to punish her. Jalal says I don’t have the right? She say yes you don’t have it, because this business is working under me, so I have the right of giving her the due punishment.
Jalal says so you want to give punishment, then give it, but don’t misuse this and don’t forgive her, and if I feel you did not give the right punishment, then I’ll continue with my punishment. She says she would give her a proper punishment, and you will also feel I gave her good punishment.
Hoshiyar come and says to Ruqaiya that you can’t go now… Ruqaiya says now, you also have this much courage that you say to me things like this?? He tells that it’s the Emperor’s decision, and hearing this, she became happy and says Jalal wants to stop me? He did not want me to go away from here. Hoshiyar say I don’t know about that, but I get to know that Queen Jodha will give you punishment in Court.
In Court, Jalal announce before the ceremony about taking a decision regarding Ruqaiya. She is Queen Jodha’s criminal, so Queen Jodha wants to give her the punishment herself.
Jodha and Ruqaiya comes. Jalal says Malika-e-Hind, Ruqaiya is your criminal, you want to give punishment, so give your right, but don’t forget the law is blind, and if you don’t give proper punishment, then I will continue with my own punishment.
Jodha say Ruqaiya’s crime is so big which is why I want to give her punishment instead. I will also continue this punishment. I don’t want to go against the Emperor, but I want to give more punishment to her. She says;
I want you to prove yourself loyal for the Mughal Saltanate. Ruqaiya, you want to take Malika-e-Hind position, so now onward, you start business in Kabul, you act same like this in Kabul and prove yourself loyal, only then could you come back to Agra.
Ruqaiya agrees to this. Queen Salima says to Hamida that I knew Queen Jodha would do something, look, she has opened way for Ruqaiya to come back to Agra.
Jalal is happy for Jodha’s decision and he announce that you all should come for the ceremony.
Jalal says to his Ministers that Jodha deserves all this, he presents new Coins in Jodha’s name and also official stamp on her name.
Ruqaiya says stop, all looks at her, Ruqaiya says it was only me who didn’t want Jodha to be given all this, but today, I know that only Jodha deserves all this.
Fazal says she has done a lot, Todar says she is excellent in business, Birbal says she can forgive anyone.
Ruqaiya says if you allow me, then I want to give this stamp and respect with my hands to her, Jalal gives it to her, Ruqaiya presents the Coin which has Name, JODHAÂ engraved on it, Jodha is impressed, she folds her hand and thanks Jalal, all chant for her, Ruqaiya ask Jodha to take the Coins and says you deserve this respect, Jodha folds her hand to Ruqaiya and takes it, Ruqaiya says I order to distribute these Coins to all! She chant for her.
At night, Ruqaiya comes to Jodha’s room and ask can I come in? Jodha says yes, Jodha says I am sorry, I couldn’t remove your punishment, Ruqaiya says sometimes, we don’t understand a person’s whole life, but you understand same person in one second, when you entered this Palace, I knew you are a good person, it angered me, I knew I can’t stand up to your level of goodness which is why I kept disrespecting you.
Ruqaiya says I want to say sorry, she sit in her feet, Jodha ask her to get up, Ruqaiya says you made my punishment a challenge, so that I am not embarrassed, and also opened a way for me to come back, you have given new life to Jalal, you have changed him from Jalal to Akbar, your love has changed him totally, your love won over my hatred and I salute, I will pray that your love will remain same for Jalal, she hugs Jodha.
Ruqaiya is leaving for Kabul, Jalal comes to Ruqaiya and says no punishment is given to show enmity, it is to change a person, you are my friend and I don’t want you to lose, Jodha has given you a challenge and I want you to win, Ruqaiya says you think your Ruqaiya can’t do it? Jalal says the Ruqaiya I know always wins. Ruqaiya smiles and says I will soon prove that I am not less than Jodha, I will do it as it’s my life, I can’t live without you for many days, Jalal says I will wait for you, he hugs her, She cries profusely, she says I will leave now, she sit in her Palanquin and leaves.
At night, Jodha is lying on the bed and not getting sleep, she thinks Moti has come into the room and without looking at her says please message my feet, Jalal starts messaging her feet, she says I have now opened door for Ruqaiya to return here, all is fine, she turns to find Jalal there, she gets up and says why are you touching my feet? I am your wife? Jalal says you also my message my feet, Jodha says anyone can see it, Jalal says no one can come here without my order,
Jodha says serve me nicely then, massage my hand, she smirks, Jalal starts massaging her hand, but sees that she’s only teasing him, Jodha then says my head is aching, massage it, she lies her head in his lap, he massages her head,Jodha says everything is fine in the end, Jalal says yes, it happened all because of your wisdom, you have shown me the way everytime, Jodha says no, this is all because of your faith in me, Jalal says it happened because of OUR LOVE, they hug.
Soul Talk- Jalal says that night was beautiful. Jodha’s Soul says yes, I was recalling our journey, remember once, that I promised to behead you in front of Kali Maa? Jalal says I was running behind you to see your face. Jodha says remember that day, when I had put sword on your neck, as I thought of you as a Soldier? Jalal says how you could have easily killed me that day, as you had to become my Life Partner, My Queen.
Jodha says I never thought that the one I wanted to kill, I will be praying for his life, Jalal says your love changed me, I had to follow your wish, I bowed my head to Kali maa, Jalal says then your hatred changed into love for me, Jodha says we didn’t know that this love will change us fully.
Jalal and Jodha’s flashbacks are shown, how they confessed, and how their love strengthened with time.
Jodha says small things kept bringing us together, Jalal says your sword fighting impressed me, I can’t explain your greatness, I still remember how you fought with Abul Mali to protect me, Jodha says I had to protect you as you were my life.
Voiceover says this was a story of Jalal and Jodha, the Journey from Hatred to Love, from changing a person to someone better, this love story is historical and will be remembered for years.
