Ruqaiya and Hoshiyar are going, he says I fear about your position, all the Queens are turning towards Jodha, Ruqaiya slaps him and says you got to know your place! Hoshiyar says yes, I got my answer, he says I served you a lot, but I got only insult from you, Ruqaiya leaves from there, the Queens see it.
Jalal sees the dead bodies of his soldiers and ask Atgah who did it? Atgah informs about Sujamal, he did it, Jalal fumes.
In harem, all the queens are gossiping, one Queen says to Ruksaar that why did you choose Jodha? Ruksaar says she is competent, has a heart and she’s intelligent, she says I want the leader of the harem to be someone who have feelings, humanity and understand others, all the Queens agree with her that Jodha is indeed right for the Harem.
In Jodha’s room, she comes to know that Hoshiyar wants to meet her, Moti says Ruqaiya insulted her in anger. Hoshiyar comes and sits in Jodha’s feet, he ask for mercy, Jodha ask him to not sit in her feet, I don’t like it, she ask what happened? He says you know why I came here, he says I didn’t get anything in serving Ruqaiya for a long time, I dedicated myself to her, always followed her orders, but she insulted me, my place, my work.
Jodha says I am hurt to listen to this, she says it happens, Hoshiyar says I loved her same way you love Moti, but she never hugged me back like you do to Moti, Jodha says she is hyper, but you are close to her, as she shares everything with you, and she must have thrown you out in anger, he says you have a big heart, I came to be in your merciful life, he pleads to her and says else, I have no option but to kill myself.
Jodha says okay, until things are settled, I am taking you under me, Moti will tell you everything, he says God will always be kind to you, you placed hand on this poor fellow, he leaves.
Jodha is tensed as she got to know that jalal wants to meet her in the weapon’s room.
Here, Jalal is checking a sword, Jodha comes there, Jalal says my soldiers were being killed brutally, their blood was shed, he cuts his hand, Jodha ask what are you doing? He says not to worry, just little blood, she says you are a warrior and in wars, winning and losing is common, he says you Rajvanshies may think like that, but not we Mughals.
Jalal ask does Rajvanshi cheats in wars? Jodha says we fight with all rules and never cheats and if anybody does so, he should be given severe punishment, Jalal says I will give it, he says the dead bodies which I got have wounds on their back, which means they were strangled from behind, they were killed by cheating, he ask her to tell what I should do as this was done by your brother, Amer’s warrior, Sujamal, Jodha is shocked beyond believe.
Jodha remembers her meeting with him, she says if he has done it, then you should punish him, he says in lure of getting Amer’s throne, he went against Bharmal, shook hands with Sharifudden and now, he has killed the Mughals. Jalal says thank you, you put me out of the dilemma, Jodha is in tears, he says now, I think I am right in taking decision of giving him punishment. Jodha leaves from there.
Jodha comes to her room and cries, Moti ask what happened? Jodha says it’s always with me, Jodha tells her that Jalal has informed her that Sujamal has killed Jalal’s two soldiers brutally, Jodha says he wants to give him punishment and you know what Jalal’s punishment means? Moti says when Jalal will cool down, then ask forgiveness for Sujamal, Jodha says he will not understand because he thinks that they were killed by cheating, from their back.
Moti says Rajvanshiz doesn’t do that, Jodha says if I talk in favour of Sujamal, then he will think that I am taking his side, Jodha says it’s right if he did that, then he must get punished, Jodha says I don’t want that because he is my brother, but as a Queen, I can’t take his side, I just can’t, I can only cry, Jalal has to do his work, I can only pray that Sujamal gets some brains.
Adham Khan comes to his men and says from today’s henceforth, there should be no stealing, robbery. he says if you do so, then I will kill you! Sharifudden comes there, and taunts him about his ministry of Malwa being taken away. Adham leaves after making a face, Sharifudden laughs at Adham Khan.
All the Queens and Servants are praising Jodha for protesting against injustice and going against Ruqaiya. Hoshiyar remarks that all Queens and Servants were supporting Jodha, Jodha thanks all the Servants and Queens for supporting her.
Jalal comes there so all leave greeting him, jodha greets him, Jalal sits and says you usually smile seeing me, but where is it lost today?Jodha sits and says nothing like that, you are just doing your work, Jalal says wars are won when you put down your enemies and you can understand that, as you are doing war as well, Jodha says I am not doing any war, it’s just competition.
Jalal murmurs that it’s worst than any war, Jodha ask what? He says nothing, Jalal says what if you win this? Jodha says then I will handle the Harem, Jalal says then you have to do all preparation for me like where I am going, with whom, you have to see all this.
Jodha says I will not do that, Jalal says why, this will be your responsibility, like if two Queens are fighting for me, then you have to decide which Queen should be with me, Jodha says I will not take the post for your enjoyment, Jodha says she would never do such things! But he says she would do well… He’s praising Jodha and tells her that he was impressed with her when she was dealing with Benazir problem.
Jalal addresses his Army for attacking Malwa. He orders Adham to support Pir Mohammad, Adham accepts the order unhappily. Maham whispers to Adham to prove himself in the eyes of Jalal, Jalal orders Pir and Adham to attack Malwa, Jalal orders Atgah khan that he should bring Sujamal to him dead or alive! Atgah says okay.
At the dead of night, there is an intruder in Ruqaiya’s room.It turns out to be Hoshiyar, Ruqaiya and Hoshiyar had secret meeting. They discuss all the secret news Hoshiyar had gotten from Jodha’s side. Hoshiyar informs that 15 Queens were on Jodha’s side. Ruqaiya then thinks of a plan to reverse the ratio in her favour, then Ruqaiya tells Hoshiyar to leave stealthily.
Resham informs Maham about an intruder in the harem at dead of night, Maham is furious.
At Amer, Bharmal is planning to attack Mewad, his Generals makes plans, his messenger informs that Sujamal had won victory over mewad killing the Mughal soldiers.
At Agra, Jodha is praying to Kanha “Hey manmohan he muralidhar… song plays”. She has tears in her eyes.
Servants discover statues of Kahna in their rooms, they are thrilled, they are happy to pray to their gods , they thank Jodha.
Maham is doing namaz. Resham comes to her to informs that all hindu Servants were given Hindu statues. Maham is furious.
All the Queens discuss that even before Jodha had taken over the harem, she had started religious discrimination, they say that it is not right. Ruqaiya overhears that she would make sure all the Queens are on her side! This was her first step, she smirks.
Hamida says Jodha couldn’t have done that, Jiji says anybody can do that for politics, she is competing which is why she may have done it, Maham says she must have done that to win the trust of the Hindu Servants. Salima says Jodha was not willing to compete and you all pushed her to it, so her enemy must have doe that, Hamida says that means Ruqaiya have done that, she is going beyond limit to win against Jodha, I have to talk to her!
Jodha ask Moti about Babu, she says he’s craving for her mother. Hindu Servant comes and thanks Jodha for gifting them idol, Jodha says I haven’t done that, they say that means someone played against you, it must be Ruqaiya who played this game to put you down, Jodha says Kahna is same for everyone, so you can come to my room to pray.
Jalal gets to know the matter, a Servant says people are saying that Jodha did that stunt to get the Hindu Servants trust, Jalal goes to her.
Jalal comes to Jodha and ask about the matter? Jodha says you think I can do that? Jalal says no, Jodha says I can’t do anything like this to gain attention, Jalal says I know which is why I didn’t call you to Court, just tell me who could have done that? Jodha says i can’t tell anyone’s name, Jalal says okay, I will find out myself, he takes aarti (blessing) of Kahna and leaves, Jodha looks at his trust in her.
All the Queens in Court discuss their matter, Ruqaiya says this is done by just Jodha! Salima says she can’t do that, Maham says everything is possible in politics, she is competing and could have done that.
Jodha comes there and sits. Jalal comes there. One Queeb says this is a very cheap tactic to gain Hindu Servants’ trust, Jalal says how can you say that she did that to gain votes?
Ruqaiya says then who did that, it’s done for publicity, rules are broken, Jalal says no rule is broken, but someone tried to do so, and the point is who did it, who tried to break the rules, put Statues in the Harem??Ruqaiya says only the one who get something from this can do that, only Jodha can do that, Jalal says to stop it! He says she came out because all the Queens pushed her!
One Queen says who else can do that? Jalal says you have any proof against her? no, so just stop it! He says Jodha was supported by the Mughal Queens, then why will she do that to gain attention of some Hindu Servants, and you people don’t know Jodha, she can’t do anything like this.
One Queen tries to interrupt, Jalal shouts that I am talking now. He says this matter is serious and whoever has done it, is challenging me, so I will see her! Ruqaiya says I know this, like standing against you… Jalal says I know why this has been done and until I allow you to talk, then don’t interrupt me, he says this should not happen again!! He ask Ruqaiya to meet him alone, they leave, Jodha smiles. Ruksaar says he trust you a lot.
Jalal ask Ruqaiya who has done it? Ruqaiya fumbles, Jalal says I am the Emperor and I can know anything, he says I got to know who ordered for these Statues, he says I want to hear it from you, he ask her to look at him and tell me who I am, she says you are my friend, Emperor and my husband, Jalal says you didnt mean any of it, I thought you are clever, but you did such a small thing, he says you did mistakes but you accepted it, and you are lying to me, what happened to you that you lied to me? He says you are not that Ruqaiya as you can’t plot against Harem, against the Mughal rules just to put Jodha down, he says don’t do any mistake now!
