Next morning, Jodha is praying to Jagdamba singing New bhajan. Ram dhanu hears her singing and gets very impressed. He too goes there and sings with her. Both sing together “jai ho jagadamba jag tarini… ”Jodha touches his feet and seeks his blessings, He praises her singing.
Jodha then tells him she had received music lessons from her guru (teacher). Ram dhanu praises her guru. He advises her never to quit her singing, that she has a beautiful voice. Raam then tells her he is leaving Agra, hence he would had visited Ambe mother temple. Jodha then asks him when will he be returning? He denies coming to Agra ever again as he had no interest in singing in the Mughal court.
Jodha praises his voice and wishes that his fame spread all over hindustaan. Raam then wonders if he should be happy that Jodha is a Mughal Queen or be sad about it?
Jalal is practicing sword, Benazir comes and says I got lost seeing you practice, Jalal says I am lost from the day I have seen you, he ask do you have interest in sword fighting? She says my eyes are enough for that, Jalal says true, but who knows, you might need it someday, he ask the Servant to bring the dress in which Jodha do practice.
Benazir smirks, he says you will practice with me, one soldier eyes Benazir and says I want one night with her, Benazir comes in same white dress, Jalal make her hold the sword and set her position by grabbing him from the back.
Jodha comes from behind and says Jalal must have asked her to wear my dress, they start practicing, Jalal looks at Jodha and looses his balance, Benazir notices it. Jalal says you know sword fighting, she says yes but my eyes are enough, Jalal agrees, she ask him to come to her room. Jalal nods, Jodha hears them and leaves angrily.
Jalal keeps looking at her leaving, Benazir says it seem you were making me learn sword fighting only to make Jodha see it, Jalal says no, it’s not like that, I think you need no learning and your eyes are enough, he leaves. Benazir says I’ve never seen a person who ignores me for other women.
In Court, Jalal says Raam is leaving and all the ladies will give him gifts. He ask the Servant to present him gold, Raam says I respect you but you have disappointed me, what will these coins teach me? Raam refuses them by saying he is insulting his talent by weighing his skill with gold and silver and insulting him. Jalal again ask him to take it, he says these coins are also in my state, but I don’t need it, Jalal says but I will not let leave you before taking it.
Raam ask to cut his head then, Jodha gets up and gifts him a locket. Raam readily praises that gift and accepts it gracefully, Jalal is furious. He demands to know the reason for this, as it’s also gold. Raam replies that Jodha had given him the symbol of music, the entire world in the letter OUM which was in the locket she had gifted him.
Jalal says your thinking is great, Raam says your wife also has great thinking. Jalal pouts, he ask Raam to present a song before leaving, Raam refuses saying I can’t sing on your order, singing is a natural thing, so it doesn’t come on orders. Jalal says one day, I will win you and you will sing for me.
Raam says you are a King, you can win states, lands but not my singing, like you pray to your God, I pray to my singing, so tell me can you win God? He greets and leaves.
Jodha is in bath tub, Moti (a new face/changed Moti) says Raam accepted only your gift, Jodha says Singers like gifts related to singing, but all Jalal can think of is about money, winning, coins. Moti sent all out and says if he doesn’t have a heart, then why would he give you bansuri/flute and peacock feather?
Jodha says he made Benazir sit beside him and also gave my bangles to her, Moti says if he had asked the permission from you, then would you have allowed him? She ask whether she has a problem with Benazir or Benazir being closed to Jalal? Jodha turns her face. Moti ask whether you have started to show your rights as a wife? Jodha ask her to shut up! Moti says I understand you well, if you think of something all the time, then this means you have started showing rights over it. Jodha ask Moti to leave! She leaves.
Resham is dancing like Benazir who is under the effects of Benazir. Maham Anga comes to her room, they discuss how Jodha was jealous of Benazir, and how Benazir was causing rift between Jodha and Jalal. Resham informs about how Benazir was preparing for the night to be spent with Jalal, Maham is very happy to hear that, she rewards resham. Maham wants to see the jealousy on Jodha’s face and she vows to make Jodha feel insulted and humiliated before the entire Court!
Jodha is with the pigeons and remembers Jalal’s closeness with Benazir. Benazir comes there, she greets Jodha who ask what she wants to say? Benazir says I have no right to wear your dress, but Jalal asked me to, I am here to give it back, Jodha says you can keep it and you have no problem wearing my thrown things, Benazir says I have no problem and show her that bangle, Benazir ask will you mind it, but Jalal gave it to me. Jodha says he is a King, and he can gift anything to any lady.
Benazir says maybe the wife doesn’t like any lady sitting with Jalal, maybe you will fight. Jodha says it’s our personal matter. Benazir informs her that Jalal has called her tonight, Jodha says see these pigeons, when Jalal thinks, he makes one eat, but that doesn’t mean pigeon will think high of him, she leaves.
Benazir says to Zakira that I have got what’s inside Jodha, it is to see whether Jalal has made the pigeon (Benazir) eat or the pigeon has made Jalal eaten.
In Prison, Shariffuden wakes Adham up, who still wants to sleep and rest, Shariffuden ask Adham to make plans of escaping this prison, but Adham says there is no way out of this place. Shariffuden tells him his mother could help them, but she is not interested as she is more interested in Jalal, Adham calls Shariffuden coward, Adham then tells him his mother would surely find a way out.
Maham Anga is crying thinking of Adham Khan and says I miss you a lot, you might think I am not doing anything, but when I do get a chance, I will free you.
Jalal comes, Maham Anga cries so that Jalal consoles her and ask you are crying for Adham Khan? Maham says yes, I am a mother, I was proud seeing him as Malwa minister and now, he is in jail but that doesn’t mean that I will shy away from my duties, I have ordered to beat him, but the mother inside me cries for him. Maham thinks the plan is working.
Jalal says I will order that you can meet Adham Khan anytime, Jalal ask why these tears now? Maham says for you, you think of everybody’s happiness, Jodha first called you, then insulted you. Jalal says I don’t want to talk about it, but I will have my revenge for the insult.
Hoshiyar ask Ruqaiya with whom you are going to play chess? Ruqaiya says with Jalal, Hoshiyar says he will spend the night with Benazir, Ruqaiya laughs.
Salima comes and says some poetry lines, Ruqaiya appreciates her, Salima ask the reason for her laugh? Ruqaiya says Benazir has called Jalal, but I know he will not go, if he does, I will give my position to Hoshiyar for one day, and will become Hoshiyar for that day. Salima ask did Jalal and Jodha had a fight?
Ruqaiya says yes which is why Jalal has made Benazir sit beside him, but I know he will not go to her as Kings don’t go behind the Chambermaid, they are the ones that comes behind him. Salima wonders what happened between Jalal-Jodha.
Javeda calls Zakira and ask her to tell her the beauty tips that Benazir uses, Zakira is skeptical, but Javeda insists to give her fairness creams etc that Benazir uses.
Maham Anga comes and ask Zakira about Benazir qualities? Zakira says she is a good hunter, Maham says yes, she hunts with her eyes, Zakira leaves.
Javeda is excited that she will get to know the secrets of a beauty and will become beautiful. Maham says for that, you will have to ask the Sun to rise from the WEST and set in the EAST, Javeda doesn’t understand and thinks Maham is getting old.
Maham Anga comes to Benazir who is dancing, Maham ask what you were talking about with Jodha. Benazir ask the reason for her interest, Maham says just give the answer, Benazir says I noticed that Jodha didn’t like me around Jalal, so I just went to her to confirm it, Maham says I like sharp minds.
Benazir says and you don’t like Jodha, Maham says your mind is fast but your tongue is faste, and I don’t like this habit, so make sure to speak less and be liked by me, as you will get close to Jalal only with my help. Maham leaves.
Jodha is sitting outside, Rahim ask to tell him story, but Jodha says I am in no mood. Salima comes and ask Rahim to go to his room, she ask Jodha why you seem upset? Jodha says I don’t understand Jalal, sometimes, he gives one so much respect that you can’t digest and sometimes, he insults you so much, that you can’t bear it. Salima ask did anything happen between you two? Jodha is about to tell her but stops…
Jalal is looking at them from the balcony, Zakira says to Jalal that Benazir is calling you, Jodha says to Salima that my mood is not good, I will talk later, I want to spend sometime alone. Salima leaves.
Jalal says to Zakira that if she wants to meet, then she will come here, ask her to come. Zakira goes to Benazir who says that Jalal is unique, every man comes running when I call him, but he didn’t. Zakira ask whether he will give-in to your beauty tonight? Benazir says I always win, let’s see.
