A lady who is the painter comes and Jalal praises her and asks her to make another painting and he describes Jodha which is muted.
Jalal ask the artist to make another portrait and here, suryabaan is also making one. He ask Jodha to sit for a while and he’ll make the portrait of the most beautiful girl. Here, Jalal says she’s sharp, bubbly, has wet long hair, soft hands and has sword in them, eyes that has rage in it. Suryabaan’s sister is making fun of her brother. He ask Jodha to see the portrait for herself. The portrait is an okay type.
Jalal ask if it’s completed and the artist says she is queen Jodha. Jalal comes and sees her very good portrait. The artist praises Jodha that she is honest, clever and a beautiful queen. Jalal is impressed. He gives her a gift and ask to leave. Jalal remembers the jail incident and ask Abdul for fire torch to burn this portrait. He burns it and says somethings are made to enjoy, when they burn.
Adham Khan says that Bairam Khan did the opposite of what Jalal said and now, Jalal will spare him. Maham Anga says she will tell Jalal but one of the heir of thakht maal (accession army) comes and ask for the body. Maham Anga tells him to ask the King himself. He comes to Jalal and tells him everything. Jalal is very angry and distraught.
Bairam Khan’s right hand says Jalal will not tolerate this. Bairam Khan says he knows Maham Anga will inform him, but he made him the King, so he will not say anything to him. His right hand man says this is not right. Bairam Khan say if this is a thing, then yes, he is an Anarchist! One servant comes and says the emperor has called them into the government’s hall which shocks Bairam khan as he has this power.
Jalal is sitting on the throne and says he’s unhappy at what happened. Bairam Khan comes and Jalal says to give back the money of takht maal (accession lady) but Bairam Khan is furious and says he can’t ignore him like this! Jalal ask everybody to leave but Bairam Khan says he will talk infront of everyone and makes Jalal remember his debts. He saved 14 year old kid from war, and gave him lessons on how to win a battle and made him the King. Bairam Khan says he is the prime minister and Jalal says he is the King/Emperor. Jalal talks in favour of his late father and says he didn’t did right by killing his father’s saviour. Bairam Khan ask if he’s announcing war? Jalal says he can’t tolerate an Anarchist and says he has given him lessons to win all battles and he will apply this to this war as well! Maham Anga and her son smiles evilly.
Bairam Khan in rage comes to his wife and says how could he talk to him like that and he knows that Jalal is saying what Maham Anga has been teaching him of lately. He says he will not spare Maham Anga…! He is his father and how could he think of war with him? Jalal chooses Maham Anga over him and he will not let this happen… He will make Jalal remember who he is to him, as the man who taught him how to fight and now, he is ready to fight against him? He will see everyone and leaves. His wife just stood there and ask God to make Bairam Khan see the real path.
Resham comes to one of the queens and says that lady came to see if Ruqayia is pregnant. The Lady says to Ruqayia that she’s not pregnant and one of the other queens is expecting a baby, the prince. Ruqayia is tensed listening, but ask how many month has the lady been pregnant and she tells her since 3 months now, and Ruqayia smiles and says it is indeed very good news and ask the lady to leave. Hoshiyar ask why she’s happy and she tells him that Jalal didn’t go to her room since three months and Hoshiyar confirms it and Ruqayia says she knows every move of Jalal, and they just have to find whose kid this is?
At Suryabaan’s place, they are doing Jodha’s aarti (Welcoming prayer) as they are leaving. Her Mom-in-law (Suryabaan’s mother) praises her and ask to come quickly. His sister gives her a ring from Suryabaan.
Suryabaan and Jodha bumps into each other and Suryabaan makes her wear a ring and they have little eyelock.
Jalal is getting ready and Ruqayia comes and says like his name, he has Jalal on his face. He doesn’t need any crown. He ask what she needs so she spills the bean that Fareeda is pregnant. Jalal is very happy and announces a function, but Ruqayia tells him to wait, as Fareeda is 3 months pregnant. Jalal gets angry that he wasn’t in Agra these 3 months. Ruqayia provokes him the more that he is a King and a Servant-like girl is making a fool of him. So he should be wary of everything. Jalal ask to bring Fareeda!
Fareeda comes to Jalal and he talks sweetly that there will be celebration, but suddenly grabs her and ask whose kid it is, she’s carrying, otherwise, he will kill him before coming to this world! She says the name Bahadur.
In jail, both Culprits are chained and they talk about their love. Jalal ask Ruqayia what punishment should he give them? Ruqayia instigates him the more to kill them! Fareeda ask that he might kill her, but not her lover, but his lover says to kill him instead. He ask Ruqayia whom to kill and she says both, he smirks and praises her. He is about to kill them, when Hamida Banu (Empress) comes and stops him at that time. The empress ask what he is doing, as this isn’t allowed in their religion, so he cant kill her. He ask why she betrayed him and manipulated things to make an illegitimate kid his heir? He will not spare her, as she had an affair with someone else while she is wife! His mother says that she is expecting and in their religion, it is forbidden to kill her in this state. Maybe because of her curse if he does kill her, he will never have heir.
Jalal leave his sword and says only for you Mom that he isn’t killing them. He asks the lovers to run and go away before sunrise!
Fareeda says may you get love… May you know what eternal love is. Jalal says love destroys everything, but there, Jodha says that love is everything. He says one moment of love makes one fall, but Jodha says one moment of love is like living a whole.
Jalal’s Mom says that she knows he is alone and he needs love in his life and he will not become a father until he gets the love of someone, but Jalal disagrees and says no need to love to become a father, but she says to become 3, you first have to become one with your love. Jalal ponders over her words and leaves to his room.
Ruqayia comes to Jalal, his mood is off, so she asks what is the problem? Jalal ask is it true that they don’t love each other and that’s why they have no kids? Ruqayia ask if he has started believing in love, but he makes fun of love and says that everything is not fine.
Khan (his father-like fugure) didn’t follow his orders and becomes sad so she ask to go on hunting.
Bairam khan comes to Maham Anga and says she’s teaching Jalal to go against him, but she tells him he isn’t his father, so he shouldn’t put up an act. Bairam Khan says she wants her kid (Adham Khan) to become the King, but he isn’t competent enough and she (Maham Agna) aims to become the Commander. She says yes, she wants the power he has!
All the Rajputs are doing a prayer at a river bank. Jodha is looking back but one of the four brothers says Sujamaal (her beloved brother) won’t come, so she shouldn’t wait for him, as he is deceitful. Jodha and the Rajputs are in the river when some Jungle people with weapons block them and says they, the Amer people killed their companions and aims a arrow at one brother and he gets hurt and slips which they all panic. One man aims an arrow towards Jodha but get killed by someone before he could target Jodha. He is none other than Sujamaal (Jodha’s beloved brother). Jodha smiles seeing him and he targets every man one by one.
Jodha runs towards Sujamaal. All the brothers fume. Jodha takes his blessing and they are both emotional. Jodha thanks him for coming and he says she did the prayer for her brother, so he had to come. He ask about her proposal and Jodha says he promised he will select her groom, but he says it is now difficult to come to her marriage. But he will come anyway. The brothers start bickering and Sujamaal says he is only sparing them because of Jodha, but he will definitely get Amer and both sides announces war. He ask Jodha to promise she will not come in between this war. Jodha reluctantly gives in to the promise. They all do the prayer together in the river. After the prayer, he blesses Jodha and says to his brothers that He will meet them in war now. He leaves and Jodha prays to the godess to stop all this and to make Sujamaal return home.
