Jalal comes to Ruqaiya, who hugs him and wishes him. Jalal says I came to you first, where is my gift? Ruqaiya says first, you have to guess my questions and it will be related to your close ones, you go to them they will give you next clue, Rahim will give you the last clue, first is ‘who gave you life has the other question’ Jalal says it’s Hamida who gave me life, he goes to Hamida.
Hameeda gives him the gift of a tabeez (sacred thread) wishing him to be a better human.
Salima gifts a Necklace/haar. Next clue is given by Hameeda which leads him to Maham, he comes to Maham. She blesses him he should be the greatest in the world, She then gives the next clue. Next, he goes to meet Rahim who is playing, And he says next clue is neem ka ped (neem plant) Then he forgets and says tulsi ka ped (tulsi plant), He gives him a gift of a cute drawing.
Jalal sees Jodha near the tulsi plant and thinks Ruqaiya included Jodha in this game also.
Jodha is doing prayer of tulsi when Jalal comes and takes aarti before Jodha could ask. She is impressed. Moti wishes him and leaves. Jalal says to Jodha that you will not wish me? Jodha wishes him. Jalal ask tell me the next clue, Jodha ask what clue? Jalal thinks is she joking with me? Jodha says my prayer is incomplete, can i finish it? He nods.
Jodha says gayatri mantra, Jalal ask the meaning, she says raja chandragupt, mango and gayatri manrta are great, Jalal says the first is not right, Jodha says why not? Jalal says I am not interested in fighting today, Jalal ask for clue, Jodha says I don’t know really.
Jalal thinks she is playing with me, Jodha ask what are you thinking? He says everyone gifted, where is your gift? Jodha says I thought a lot but you are a big King and have everything, Jalal says even if I have everything, can’t I wish for a gift from you, I thought you will gift some unique thing, you broke my wish, Jodha says if that’s the case, then I will gift, she ask him to come inside.
Jodha gives him an ordinary clothes and asks him to go to Agra bazaar, he is puzzled but then he wears it, comes and sees Jodha in simple dress and both get ready to go to the bazaar.
Ruqaiya is wondering if Jalal got her gift and his whereabouts.
Adham sees Tanim (young girl that he is eyeing) in her house and comes to that girl’s house, she welcomes him. They say they have nothing to give him, Adham says you have so much to give me, he ask her mother that you are Shahi servant then why are you poor? Girl’s mother (shahi servant) says that my husband is addicted to drinking, he takes all my money.
Adham goes to see the husband and thinks that he is addicted and I will take advantage of it, he says to the drunk man that I like drinking also, so come sometime, we will drink together, the man says I am nothing in front of you, Adham says I want to take your family to malwa, I will appoint your husband there, they thank Adham. Adham says do come for Jalal’s birthday celebration and bring Tasnim (young girl of the Servant), he gives them some money and leaves, Tasnim praises him.
Jalal and Jodha are walking in the village in ordinary clothes, they see that everyone us happy because of Jalal’s birthday, he says to Jodha that look people celebrate my birthday, if I wasn’t wearing these normal clothes, they would have recognized me, Jodha says wrong, if you had your sword and turban, they would have recognized you, Jalal ask the meaning. Jodha says they are afraid of your sword, Jalal says so they should as I am a King, some man recognizes Jalal.
Jalal says to Jodha look, they recognize me without a sword, Jodha still believes that they are afraid of him. They move forward and see some men praying, Jalal says let’s go, I am thirsty. Jodha says first listen to them, they are more thirsty. Jalal asks them about their worries and they tell him about the water. He announces that a well will be dug up the very day and they will not have any issues in putting forth their queries in open Court henceforth. Jodha is happy.
Jalal asks Jodha about the gift, but she says that he will get it soon.
Ruqaiya is thinking that why hasn’t Jalal come to me yet and where is Rahim, some Servant gossips that Rahim is very naughty, he make us to runs all the time. Hoshiyar says he is just a child, search for him. Ruqaiya sees dates lying on the ground and thinks Rahim likes it very much, she finds Rahim and ask whether he told Jalal about the clue?
Rahim doesn’t remember, so Ruqaiya says I will complain to Salima that you didn’t do my work, he says it was our talk so why include Salima and says I told Jalal about tulsi… Ruqaiya ask tulsi or neem? Rahim corrects it saying neem, Ruqaiya thinks then why has Jalal not come yet? Rahim offers her dates, she denies having it.
Jalal comes back to the Palace, Adkha wishes him and ask why are you wearing these clothes? Jalal says I also don’t know, only Jodha knows it, he ask Adkha why are you tensed? Adkha says you were missing, so I was tensed, Jalal says you are experienced and you know wives like to make husbands keep walking behind them, Adkha smiles, he ask Adkha to make well in the village, Adkha agrees and goes.
Jalal looks at Jodha, she ask what? He says I can’t understand women, he ask for gift, Jodha says wait for some more time, first you should find Ruqaiya’s gift, he leaves, Jodha keeps smiling looking at him.
At night, Jalal is walking in the Palace, all gossips why Jalal is wearing these clothes, Rahim comes and ask why are you wearing such clothes? Jalal says to give respect to Jodha’s gift, Rahim ask whether you have gone to neem plant? Jalal says you said tulsi plant, rahim says you heard it wrong and I had to bear the wrath of Ruqaiya, now go there, Jalal says okay.
Jalal comes to neem tree and sees arrow towards a room, he opens it when bright yellow light comes out, he says subhanallah it’s the best gift.
In the hall, all are waiting for Jalal to start the celebration, he comes in, all gets up, he is dressed in unique shiny yellow dress. Ruqaiya is happy, Hamida says to Ruqaiya that your gift is amazing.
Jalal comes to Ruqaiya and says no doubt this dress is amazing as it has gold work which will protect me in war and I will shine as a King, he says in Court that I always say that Ruqaiya has amazing sense and her gift is great.
Adkha says common people wants to see you. Jalal comes to the balcony along with other Mughals and Jodha, people say that you did great by ordering to dig well, we are greatful to you as now, we will get water, may God bless you. They chants Jalal’s name.
Hameeda ask what did you do today? He says nothing, I just ordered to dig well, Hamida says it’s not a small thing for them, Jalal thinks of Jodha’s words that you will get your gift, Hamida says for a King, people’s blessing is everything, it may not protect you like gold cloth in war, but their prayers will keep you save in battle field, I am happy that your both wives gave great gift, one increased your honor by gold cloth and other increased your respect as a King, Jalal thanks Jodha silently.
Jalal comes to the hall and announces that I was wrong, Ruqaiya’s gift was not better than Jodha, all are shocked, he says she gifted me people’s blessing which will always be with me. The Servant brings that ordinary suit gifted by Jodha, Jalal says Jodha made me realize what it is like for a common man to wear these clothes, she made me show their problem, which is a must for a King, today I know that a King is not known by his cloth, but by his respect in comman man, he ask Jodha to come and sit with me to increase the respect of this ordinary cloth, Jodha is super happy and gets up to sit beside Jalal.
Ruqaiya is in rage and breaks the mirror of her room, she is uncontrollable, Hoshiyar ask her to calm down as Jodha has no brain. Ruqaiya says I know there is nothing between her and Jalal, but she is very much clever and played a game which paid off well! Ruqaiya is very angry and says she (Jodha) did competition with me, I know she is nothing in front of me, but I will make her suffer much that she will not be able to stand in front me!
Outside, Jalal is thoughts. In her room, Jodha sees Bansoori/flute and feather of peacock and thinks how she said it’s the best gift ever. She puts both on Kahna (god) and prays.
Outside, Jalal remembers his encounter with Jodha like gangaur, jail and so on, when he first went to Amer and then the gift of Jodha that is his people chanting his name.
Soul talk- Jalal’s soul says you changed my life that day Mariam zamani, you waked me up from sleep that day, Ruqaiya’s gift was eye catching, but you made me realize that for a King, clothes are not important, but his respect in people, you did magic in that one moment, Jodha says one moment is enough for life, Jalal says I kept thinking about you and couldn’t control myself, I wanted to talk with you, so I came in your room knowing you may not like me coming in late hours– Soul talk ends.
Jalal comes to Jodha’s room, she ask you here at this hour? Jalal says I couldn’t stop myself till morning, he says I want to thank you so much, your thoughts are great, he says I also thought I have everything, but you proved me wrong. Jalal says when I gifted you that Bansoori/flute and feather, I thought no gift could be better than it, but you today made me realize the responsibility of a King, it’s not just to win battle, but to feel the pain of your people, to care for them.
Jodha says I didn’t do anything, you ordered for that well, but I woke the human inside you and today, I got to know that you are a liar, you said you don’t have heart, but you felt their pain, Jalal thanks her for waking him up and prays to god looking at Kahna. Jodha ask what you prayed for? He says I prayed that I will get gifts like this in my life every year from you. He leaves.
Jodha’s soul says that day, I was happy as you indirectly asked me to be with you for whole life.Â
Moti gives some Kadha (decoction) drink to Jodha, she tells about Jalal’s visit and she teases her. Rahim comes and Tasneem comes looking out for him, Jodha tells Tasneem about Rahim’s hideout, Jodha gives some sandwich to Tasneem.
Ruqaiya accuses Jalal that he is getting swayed towards Jodha, but Jalal goes romantic and Ruqaiya smiles, Jalal tells that I find Jodha to be like a good friend as well. Ruqaiya asks if she will take her place? He gives her a roundabout answer and leaves.
Adham is taking massage when someone throws stone at him, he ask the Soldier to see who is doing that, but then himself goes out to check, its none other than Tasnim who is trying to catch a kite from the tree. He comes to her.
Moti and Jodha sees him with her, he ask Tasnim why you threw stone at me, she says I was just trying to get my kite, he says I will help you, Tasnim is reluctant, but he holds her from the back and lifts her and ask to get the kite. Tasnim says she doesn’t want it, he leaves her, Tasnim runs. Jodha says to Moti that you were right, Adham has wrong intention.
Jalal is playing chess with Ruqaiya, she ask him that why you are not concentrating on the game? Jalal says my mind is stuck in politics, after Shariffudden’s sudden dissappearance, many States are without Ministers. Ruqaiya says don’t appoint one person for all four states if they are outsider, just break power and divide it into different man and to those who don’t share good rapport with each other, so they will not stand against you.
Jalal says you are good at politics, I will also discuss with Maham. Ruqaiya says she will suggest Adham’s name, he is not competent, he is not able to do ministry of malwa. Jalal says but he is a good soldier. Ruqaiya says but for a Minister, cool mind is needed which Adham doesn’t have. She says Maham loves you but not more than Adham. Jalal ask her not say a word against his Aunt, she agrees. He defeats her in chess. Ruqaiya says I want you to win every battle.
Maham Anga is discussing with Resham about her interests in politics And how Ruqaiya is against Adham, According to Maham, Adham is best suited for the 4 states Nagor, Mewar, Surt, Ajmer, etc.
