Ruqaiya comes and sits with Jalal and Jodha. Tansen starts singing. Hamida says he is such a good singer, everytime he sings, everything flows with his voice. He asks who are these women with Tansen? Ruqaiya says these are the same women that came and you asked me to assign them some work. I appointed them with Tansen.
Everyone is enjoying the Music. Jalal says wow, that was so good, I become your fan everytime I listen to you, you and your pupils should come up with something now. He says Atifa just came with me. Jalal says a new voice is always fresh. Tansen says as you say Emperor.
Atifa comes forward, Jodha wonders why she looks familiar? Jodha says she is the same one Jalal met. She starts singing along with Tansen. Everyone is endorsed in their Music. When they are done, Jalal stands up and says SubhanAlla, such a melodious voice, time filled in well. He says to Atifa I never heard a voice like that before, he take off his locket and hands it over it to her. He stops her and says you don’t have to go to the camp, you are safe here. She says thank you. Jodha is a bit possessive. She leaves.
Jalal stops Atifa and says I want to tell you again that your voice is so melodious and I would love to listen to you over and over again. She says adab (respect). Jalal holds her hand and says what is that bruise on your hand? She leaves. Ruqaiya sees them and says now I know. There is a new bird in the Castle who sings well, poor Jodha!
Atifa goes to her room smiling. The man comes in and says you look so happy? She says Jalal is so nice. He says yes. She says yeah, he looks so well too. He slaps her and says you went to the Harem and forgot who you are! How dare you to take off this veil?? Don’t ever do something that pisses me off again! She sits down, crying.
Jodha is in her room and says why did Emperor lied to me ? He knew her and made her painting. Am I thinking all this wrong? Should I talk to the Emperor or not?
Sharifudden hurts Khaibar with very hot iron rods, Khaibar shouts, Sharifudden says that today, I don’t want to beat you, I want to say that I am jealous of you, as Jodha cares for you, I loved her, I attacked Amer for her, to get her, but Jalal got her, he married her, I can’t do anything about him, as he is the King but I won’t tolerate you, he hurts him again! Khaibar looks at the cloth tied on his hand, he tries to get the smell of it, as it’s the smell of Jodha, Sharifudden says that one thing is common between us, we both love her, but she’s Jalal ‘s wife, you know that if you love a common woman, then her marriage can be broken, but nobody can look at Jodha.
Jalal in his room thinks that I don’t know if there is something in Atifa, he looks at her painting and thinks that I’m attracted towards her, he smiles at her painting.
In jail, Khaibar is shouting, a soldier says don’t shout, you are alive only because of our good hearted King, don’t shout else, I will stab you with my sword! Some person comes from behind and kills the soldier with his dagger, Khaibar is stunned, the man takes off the soldier’s cloth.
Jalal is in Court with Ministers, he says to one Rajput that relations between Mughals and Rajvanshies should be made, this is good for a peaceful and united India, the Rajput King agrees with the relations, Jalal congratulates Atgah for the relations, Jalal greets the Rajput king.
The man that killed the Soldier in jail is none other than the master of Khaibar, he comes to Khaibar and says now you have to kill Queen Jodha, she is going to give Jalal heir, so you have to kill her otherwise, Mah Chuchak’s mission will be incomplete, he leaves, Khaibar shouts in anger.
Rahim comes to Jodha and tells her about the toys, Jodha says that will you share your toys with me? He says why not? You are my Aunt. The Servant brings toys and Rahim is happy to see it, Jodha sees one toy and says that this toy is already broken, the Servant says sorry, Jodha opens the toy and finds one bottle kind of thing in the toy, she ask the Servant what’s this? The Servant is tensed and leaves.
Jodha hides the letter (from the toy) when she sees Salima. Salima says thank you for taking care of Rahim, I hope that he hasn’t troubled you? Jodha says no, it is fine infact, Rahim agreed to share his toys with me.
Salima says hmm, it’s good, now you take rest, I might be tired. Jodha smiles and goes away from there.
Moti informs Jodha about Khaibar that again, Khaibar’s cries are coming maybe, he is again getting tortured. Jodha is going towards the jail. Moti stops her. Jodha says I have to go to see him, even after the Emperor’s orders, he is being tortured, this is not acceptable!
She leaves.
Jalal was taking round of Mahal with Atgah and was discussing about marriage, he hears a voice (Atifas’) of someone singing. He stops Atgah and says wait here, I will come soon.
Jalal enters the place where Atifa and Tansen were Practising song. Jalal gets mesmerized by Atifa, and her singing. He says shubhanallah! I didn’t know even practicing for song is also so melodious. Tansen says thanks. Jalal says to Tansen you be ready, very soon, there will be a show for Music in the Palace. Tansen says sure, Emperor.
Jalal says I hope you are feeling safe here?
Atifa says yes, thanks to you. Jalal says I was just passing from here and heard your voice, you really sing very well, okay, you carry on, I have to go
Outside of that room where atgah was waiting, husband of Atifa comes and shows some documents to Atgah, and sees that Jalal is talking with Atifa. Atgah says okay, go and show these to Todar Mal, he leaves. Jalal leaves the room.
Jalal asks Atgah about Atifa’s husband, Atgah says yes, he is good in his work, but we have heard that he is very rude, he often beats his wife. Jalal gets angry and says it is not fair, nobody should treat any woman like this. Atgah says but we can’t do anything in this matter, as it is their personal matter and we cannot interfere untill the woman herself raise the case. Jalal says I don’t know anything, but put an eye on him and report to me immediately if he beats his Wife again.
Atgah says okay Emperor.
The Master of Khaibar (Nissar) beats him in jail. Jodha comes there and shouts STOP!
She looks at Khaibar and scolds the soldier (who is actually Khaibar’s Master, Nissar).
She says how dare you beat him?? It’s the order of the Emperor and you are still doing this? If you do it again, I will get you punished by the Emperor! She looks at Khaibar again.
She turns to leave and she’s shocked to find Jalal standing there and angrily looking at her.
She says Emperor?
Jalal stops her and tells everyone to leave.
Jalal scolds Jodha for meeting Khaibar again.
Jalal says to Jodha that why don’t you understand? I love you a lot, but you are always ignoring my orders, you are taking wrong advantage of my love, you should know how a wife should behave. Jodha tries to make him understand, but he leaves angrily.
Jodha comes back to her room
she remembers that letter, she opens and read it. In the letter, it was written that;
I am the daughter of the King, Jalal has fixed my marriage with Atgah Khan’s son, I am a Hindu and I don’t want this marriage, I would like to die, but I will not get married to a Mughal! I know you are living by adjusting very hard, you are also a Hindu Princess, I am sure that you will help me tommorow, that Toy seller will come again to take your answer.
Jodha gets shocked to read a letter and thinks about Jalal’s words.
Jalal angrily enters Ruqaiya’s room. Ruqaiya asks him what happened? He tells thar Jodha always disobeys my orders, she is not understanding that she has the responsibility of 2 more lives now! Ruqaiya asks him to calm down. She gives some drink to Jalal and says you drink this, it will relax and refresh you. Jalal asks what is it? Ruqaiya says don’t worry, nothing addictive, it will just refresh you. Jalal drinks it.
Atifa’s husband scolds Atifa. He asks what is going on between you and the Emperor??
Atifa says nothing. Her husband asks her to not lie, I can see he looks at you differently! Atifa says he only respects me. Her husband tells her to pack her luggage, as they will leave this place now! Atifa says we will not go. Her husband angrily asks why?? What are you getting here?? Atifa says freedom from your tortures! Her husband slaps her and leaves.
A Servant comes to Ruqaiya’s room and says adab (greetings) Emperor. Ruqaiya says Jalal is taking rest. The Servant says somebody has come to inform you something. Jalal rises from the bed and goes outside, then in Atifa’s room. He sees Atifa is lying on the floor bleeding, he holds her and makes her sit.
He says show me your hand. Atifa shows it, Jalal holds her hand.
Atgah comes outside and sees Jalal and Atifa. He thinks Jalal is doing a great sin, he may have to lose his crown, it is a major sin.. he is touching a married woman like this?
Atgah interferes and says Emperor, we will take care of it, you please leave. Jalal says but he beat her so badly, he will… Atgah says okay, we will take care of it, you go from here. Jalal leaves.
Jalal iss sharpening his sword, Atgah comes.
Atgah asks what are you planning Emperor?
Jalal says I want to go for a hunt, it’s been a long time now.
Ruqaiya gets the news that Jalal is going without Jodha. She thinks this is the right chance to tell Jodha. She goes to Jodha’s room and says is everything fine between you and Jalal? Jodha says yes, but why are you asking? She says I have heard Jalal is going for hunting without you. Jodha says yes, it is fine, there is no dispute between us. Ruqaiya says take care of your health, she leaves.
Jodha thinks it is not fair, we are going to be parents now, we should not fight on small matters like this now.
Jalal is getting ready for hunt. Jodha comes from behind and put on the cloak on Jalal
Jalal says Oh! you are here? I haven’t noticed.
Jodha says (innocently) that I have not said sorry, so will you do it like this? Jalal says what? Jodha says you are going for hunting without me, you are still angry with me? Jalal says it is nothing like that, you can’t go like this, you have to take care of your health.
Jodha says it is not the matter of hunting, it is the matter of “being with”. Jalal looks at her angrily (that she is again disobeying me and arguing to go for hunting!)
The Soldier (Nissar) talks to Khaibar that don’t shout Khaibar, I know you like Jodha, and only I can help you get her. He says take this Map, this is Jodha’s room. He gives him a pointed weapon. and says this is your weapon. “Go and get her!” Khaibar smiles.
Jodha says that why aren’t you taking me for Jungle hunt? Jalal sits sadly on bed, Jodha says that you know that I don’t like to kill animals, but I always go with you, then why are you not taking me this time? Jalal looks at Atifa’s picture and says that if I take you, then others wives will feel jealous of you, if I take all people with me, then it will take more time, also I arranged Meena bazar for wives too, so I think I should go alone, you want me to be better husband, then let me go, Jodha says that if this is the case, then I allow you to go.
Jodha is about to leave when she sees Jalal looking at Atifa’s picture, he sees Jodha and looks down, Jodha makes face and goes from there.
The Master of Khaibar looks at the cave in jail and says that Jalal and his Ministers doesn’t know that there is a secret way out from the Palace and Mah Chuchak knows this, your mission will complete Mah Chuchak.
In jail, all soldiers are gossiping that Jalal is taking soldiers and Ministers out for hunting.
Jalal and some Ministers are going for hunt in the Jungle, he sends Atgah far, he talks to Atifa, he ask her that are you always keeping veil on your face? Atifa says that my husband orders me, so I have to take it along. Jalal says that your husband isn’t here, so you can take it off, she takes off her veil. Jalal looks at her face and smiles.
The rain starts pouring down in the Jungle, Jalal says to Ram that we should go to Tents, Atifa ask Ram that should we go also? He says yes, as Jalal is going, Atifa makes a sad face and says that I would like to enjoy the rain in the open, I would like to ride and view the Jungle in the rain, Jalal looks at her and says to Ram that I will stay here in the Jungle, I want to enjoy the rain here, you go to the Tents, Atifa smiles, Ram leaves, only Jalal and Atifa are left.
