Benazir is going somewhere in the Market with Zakira. In the Temple, Jodha prays that to protect my husband, keep him save and she does the prayer. Benazir comes to the Temple and sees a snake and says I will get poison from it. She sits to take the poison from it and Jodha finishes her prayer and turns to where Benazir is sitting, Benazir takes the snake away. Jodha thinks why were there here? She goes behind them to check.
Benazir comes to an isolated place, Jodha is following her. Benazir licks the snake’s tongue, jodha sees it and she’s shocked. Benzir shouts Jalaluddin, nobody will save you, I will bite you!! Jodha remembers the soldier’s death because of the sanke bite, and the letter and Shariffuden’ words. Jodha thinks she’s Vishkanya (the poisonous lady) and is here to kill Jalal.
Jodha tells this to Moti and says we have to tell this to Jalal ASAP. Moti ask whether he will believe? Jodha says I don’t know, but I have to tell him, They ask the soldier where is Jalal, he hesitates to tell him, so Jodha says I am his Wife and I want to know where he is. He tells that he’s with Ruqaiya.
Jodha says let’s go there, Moti says Ruqaiya will mind, Jodha says I know her and I can’t take the risk. The Maid stops Jodha from going and says Ruqaiya has ordered to not allow anyone in. Jodha says okay, tell Ruqaiya that I want to talk to her.
Ruqaiya comes outside and says I knew you would disturb Jalal. Jodha says I want to meet Jalal. Ruqaiya says I am his special Wife, Jodha says I know but… Ruqaiya says Jalal had come here on his own and you can’t meet him, he is sleeping. Jodha says it’s important. Ruqaiya says what’s the emergency?
Jodha says Shariffuden has told me that Jalal is in danger. Ruqaiya says wow, now you have gone to the jail. You can trust him, but I don’t because I know who is dangerous to Jalal. If you people can hurt Jalal, then you can conspire to kill him too. Jodha says try to understand. Ruqaiya says I understand that you want to become the Queen Mother, but now, I will not ignore you, I am standing between you and Jalal, I can bear the Chambermaid but not you!
Jodha ask what I have done wrong? Ruqaiya says you tried to capture Jalal’s mind and soon, I will throw you out!!
Here, Benazir ask Zakira can we meet Jalal? Zakira says no, he is with Ruqaiya. Benazir says we will go there.
Jodha comes to her room, Moti says Jalal will not meet you, you take rest and tell him in the morning. Jodha says how can I take rest when my hubby is in danger? Moti says Ruqaiya will insult you, Jodha says nothing is more important then Jalal’s life.
Benazir comes to meet Jalal and sees Jodha sitting outside and thinks why is she here? Zakira says Jalal didn’t allow Jodha to meet him, I don’t think we can meet him. Benazir says this Jodha always blocks my way, my heart says to kill her first! They leave.
Jodha says I will meet Jalal, I promised Masa/mother and I did prayer for his safety too. Moti says you are not doing this for Masa, but because you have developed feelings for him, Jodha ask her to shut up! Moti says you waited for him the whole night, tell me these are not your feelings for him?
Jalal comes out so Jodha goes to him and says now I know who wants to kill you, it’s Benazir and she is the poisonous lady. Jalal says you’ve reach all limits, from day 1, you’ve been jealous of her, who told you about it? Jodha says Shariffuden, Jalal says you met a betrayer and believed him, he is fooling you, youe mistakes are increasing day by day, it’s wrong to meet a Culprit. Jodha says you can punish me, but I can’t put your life at stake.
Jalal shouts why don’t you understand he is fooling you?? Jodha says I saw her myself taking the poison, Jalal is about to leave, but Jodha holds his hand and says I have seen Benazir taking poison from a Snake. Jalal is about to go, but Jodha says it’s your choice to believe me or not, give me punishment, but it’s your duty to find out the truth. Jalal says okay and orders the Servant to call everyone in Court. He looks at Jodha and leaves.
In Court, all are present when Benazir comes. Jalal says we have a complaint against you, Benazir says I didn’t do anything. Jalal says Jodha thinks that you are the poisonous lady. Maham thinks what nonsense?? Benazir says Jodha is very good and respect women, then why the accusation?
Jalal says yeah but she thinks you live by taking poison. you have to prove it, Benazir says I understand that I am from Abul Mali’s Palace, and that must be the reason for this allegation, but tell me what I have to do? Jalal orders to bring a glass of milk for Benazir and says that if you have poison in you, it will come into this milk when you drink it. Benazir is tensed, the glass is being given to her. Benazir drinks the milk.
Jalal says now, this milk will be taken by Zakira as well. Benazir says your order is my command but… Zakira says I work for Benazir so I will drink it to prove her innocence. Zakira drinks the milk and nothing happens to her.
Benazir says I am proven innocent now, I want you to behead me. I was a Servant in Abul Mali’s Palace and here too. You recpected me, but can’t change my fate that I am a Servant so just finish me.
Maham says Jodha what stupidity is this?? You wasted everyone’s time. Ruqaiya says you are one of Jalal’s special wife and it’s your responsibility to act sensible. Jalal says all can go now. He stops Jodha and says you asked to go to the depth of the truth but the proof you had, Jodha says I don’t have any proof, l but I know she is poisonous.
Jalal says you lived with your sister even then, you didn’t know about her, I can only see a jealous woman in you today nothing else, he leaves. Jodha thinks one day, you will regret why you didn’t listen to me.
Benazir comes with Zakira to her room who is choking, she gives Zakira medicine. Zakira says your poison is very strong. Benazir thanks her for saving her. Zakira says I had to, otherwise you would have gone. Benazir says it’s all because of Jodha but thankfully, Jalal considered me as innocent. She says one side is Jodha and the other side is Abul Mali who must be very angry at me.
Zakira says but he is behind bars. Benazir says yes, but he doesn’t spend much time there and will come out soon. He will want to meet me, and if I attack Jalal now, people will believe Jodha, than we won’t be able to run from here. Zakira ask what are you thinking? We can’t back out now, we have to do our work. Benazir says my work is to kill others, and not to get myself killed so we will run, Zakira ask how? She says we will run from Darbar.
Jodha says to Moti that I know she is poisonous, Jalal is in danger. Moti says please take rest for some time. Jodha says I can’t, thinking about Jalal’s life. She ask Moti do you believe me? Moti says sometimes, we see something in the dark and assume it the other way. Jodha says I saw it clearly. Moti says if she was, then Zakira would have died, she ask Jodha to take rest.
Jodha says what about that soldier, snakes in the Palace and all? Hamida comes. Jodha ask do you believe me? Hamida thinks how to tell you that it’s your wrong assumption. She says I know you are worried, but in Court, Zakira proved that Benazir is innocent and Doctors were present there and there were no symptoms of poison on her. She says don’t become too obssesed with something that people will think you as nothing. And this way the distance between you and Jalal can increase which is ot good. She ask Jodha to take rest. Jodha thinks nobody is believing me.
Next scene, Benazir is seen leaving the Palace gates with Zakira… They try to hurry before anyone spots them, but Maham Anga spots then and confronts them. She asks where are you you going? Benazir says we are going to the Islamic Shrine because of the allegation that Jodha had put on me, can’t I go to Dargah/Islamic Shrink too? Maham says you can go and you should to get some peace, they leave.
Maham calls her soldiers and orders them to spread the news to the people that Benazir is poisonous and wants to kill Jalal, Adham comes and ask what’s all this? Maham says if people can’t bear Jalal’s divorce, then how can they bear Jalal’s life in danger.
Ruqaiya is in her room, overjoyed that Jodha has been proved false and that she has fallen from the grace of Jalal’s eyes, but Hoshiyar adds fuel to the fire, when he says he wonders as to why Jalal did not punish Jodha for her lies or for the elopement of Shivani?
Hoshiyar wonders aloud whether Jalal is changing and whether Jodha has carved a niche for herself in Jalal’s heart? Ruqaiya’s temper shoots up , She angrily warns Hoshiyar against repeating such scandalous things again, just then, Maham comes and both Ruqaiya and Maham engage in a bit of gloating at the setback of Jodha, Maham suggests few other ways of safeguarding her position as the Chief consort.
In the market, Benazir says we will leave from here today. People sees her and says she is poisonous and Jodha have seen her taking the poison, Jodha will never lie, she wants to kill the King of Kings and now she is roaming here, they follow Zakira and Benazir and says she wants to kill Jalal and we will not let that happen!
People attack Benazir and beats her a lot, with slippers, sticks and all. She is being dragged to the market, Maham comes and smirks. Maham ask them to stop and ask what’s all this happening? One man says she is the poisonous lady, Maham slaps him and says she lives in the Palace and Jalal knows her, it’s a mere rumour, have you seen her taking poison or killing someone? Jalal is a King and he will take the decision, now go from here!
Benazir runs from the market, Maham asks the soldiers to catch her, they run behind her. She sees a pond and thinks that it’s a good chance to be in Jalal’s good books and jumps in it. A soldier pulls her out from the pond.
In Court, all are present. Jalal is angry, Benazir comes all injured. Jalal says how can you commit suicide?? It’s a sin! Benazir says I had no other option after what happened to me in the market, true I am a Maid, but this much insult, I can’t bear, I thought after you have given me respect, people will respect me, but it was the direct opposite.
Benazir says that people wants to kill me and you know nobody can save me from them and I can’t see people’s hatred which is why I jumped into the pond, please you kill me.
Jalal says you are my responsibility and your death is my insult, everybody’s security is my duty. Maham says I want to say that because of Jodha’s wrong allegations, Benazir is suffering, what you think Jodha? That Jalal doesn’t have the charm that women can go close to him, why you placed a false allegation on her?? Jodha says I have seen her and I know she is poisonous, Jalal says enough! I have listened to you a lot.
Maham says it’s better to kill her or to get Benazir married to someone so she will be safe, Benazir says who will marry me? If a snake doesn’t have poison, even people still get afraid of it, this allegation will not allow anybody to marry me, she says only one person can marry me and that is Jalal himself, only he have the guts.
