Saturday Update on Jodha & Akbar, 15th May, 2021

Jodha is heartbroken and cries, she tells Moti that she is caught in between nowhere, and asks her to leave her alone. She is confused with her state of affairs she has fallen into, and the situation at hand—Jalal doesn’t want her in Agra, Menewati doesn’t want her in Amer.

Hamida bano and Menewati discuss about Jodha and Jalal’s relationship, and Menewati takes her leave after being assured of her safety.

Hamida bano comes to meet Jodha where Moti says that Jodha is not to be found anywhere. The news spread to all. Jalal is furious at Jodha’s actions when Ruqaiya says that she did not have any option left, other than to kill herself! Jalal says that he will find her!

Maham Anga says to Resham that without Jalal’s permission, no one can go out of this Palace, as this is against the Palace rules, but this Queen Jodha…! She creates problem every time! She ask Resham to find her!

Adham Khan says so she got the news? Maham Anga says if news is old and bad, then it doesn’t sound good to hear again. She ask him to search for her. Adham Khan ask why? Is she that scared of Jodha? Maham Anga says he won’t understand, he should just leave it.

Jalal is with all Jodha’s Servants that came from Amer. He asks how they could leave her like this! He says they were here to protect her, so how did she get lost!

Moti says she asked all of them to leave her alone, she was very much depressed. Jalal says she said that, and you left her alone! Moti sits on the ground and pleads to do something, just find her, then punish me whatever way you want. Jalal leaves.

Jalal comes to the gate of the Palace and ask the Soldiers how she got out with this much security! They say, how could they have stopped a queen, as they don’t have this much authority. They also say she came in a very angry state and took a horse and left without listening to anything they had to say.

Jalal says there is a way that goes towards the Jungle, she must have gone there.

The news of Jodha being lost spreads like wild fire in the Palace. Bakshi gets the news and she’s sad that she was the only one in the Palace who had the guts to fight for the truth. 
In the harem, all the Queens chats about this news.

Maham Anga comes to Ruqaiya that she did a big mistake. She asks why she told Jalal that she could have committed suicide? Ruqaiya says she was dying here too, so what is the difference? Maham Anga says Jalal has gone to find her and she might come back with a smiling face, then she will laugh at you, as she will be Jalal’s queen, for real then!

Ruqaiya says Jodha will laugh at me, and what place does she have here to dare do that? Maham Anga says even an Ant can make an Elephant go crazy, don’t take her lightly, and remember she’s Jalal only Hindu Wife, whom he allowed to follow her religion, made temple for her, and even allowed her to play Holi festival, she placed colours in her stall in Meena bazar (market) and even threw colour on me, so she can as well colour Jalal in her own colour. She says maybe Jalal has gone to find her, not because his pride is attached, but because he has started to care about her indeed!

Ruqaiya says enough! She says if you were not Jalal’s foster Mother, I wouldn’t have left you alive for these words! She says she knows Jalal better, and he can’t love anyone!

Jodha is riding a horse in the Jungle and remembers every word of Menewati and Jalal, who in a drunken state, once said that I hate you the most, and that was why I married you!

Jalal comes on horse with Soldiers behind him.

Jodha leaves the horse and starts running. He sees the horse, then Jodha running. He runs behind her. 
All the harsh words of Jalal and Menewati (her mother) echoes in her ears, and she jumps into the lake.

Jalal jumps and grabs her by the neck and saves her in time. They come outside of the lake. Jodha asks what he wants to prove, that he has authority over her death too? She asks him why he saved her, and who asked him to? She says he always do the opposite of what she wants!

Jalal says enough! You keep saying I did this, I did that, but I fulfilled every responsibility, and even fulfilled your wish to go back to Amer, but I can’t allow you to do this. He says I know you have authority over your life, but do you know the consequences of this? He says his respect would be tarnished!

He says I know I married you to give you pain, I only wanted to take revenge of the insult you did to me in Amer, so if I torture you, then what’s wrong in that?

He says I seek for forgiveness in the whole Court, when I did wrong with you, but you…, you never cared about my prestige and pride, and always did what your mind says, which I hate you for, and your eyes that always has fire inside of them, and your arrogance!

Jodha ask if you hate me so much, then why don’t you kill me? Jalal says this way, you will win in disrespecting me, my kingdom, and I can’t let you win. He says if you don’t have a place in Amer, it’s not my fault, but here, you have a proper place to live and all facilities are there for you, even though we do not share any husband and wife relations. He ask her to not tell anyone in the Palace about this suicide mission of hers.

They get on one horse. Jalal rides it with Jodha in front. They are a little hesitant as all the people in the fields smiles, seeing them together.

Jalal stops the horse somewhere and tells Jodha to come. Jodha ask where? He doesn’t answer and says after putting my respect at stake, you think I will answer your question? He grabs her by the hand and goes towards the Jungle.

Jalal comes inside the Jungle. He comes to some cave and says this is the secret way to Amer, no one will see us.

The Minister comes back to the Palace and they all ask where Jalal and Jodha is? He says Jalal found her and they were coming back to the Palace, they were behind us, but strange, they haven’t reached here yet.

Jalal comes alone on horse, just then. They all ask where is Jodha? He says she is safe, she has gone out of the Palace without permission, so I’ve decided that she will be alone for some time, and no one will meet her, not even Hamida bano (Empress)!

Moti is crying that Jalal came alone without Jodha. She thinks he didn’t find her. Jalal says don’t worry, Jodha is safe and sound, and she should be, as she is my responsibility.

Hamida bano ask Ruqaiya did you ask about Jodha from Jalal? She denies it. Priest Sahab Rakha comes to Hamida bano. He greets her. Hamida bano says there are some problems. He tells her that the few coming days will be difficult for Jalal. Hamida bano ask what to do now, and is there any solution to this? The Priest says the one who gives us problems also creates the solution. He says Jalal must go to Ajmer Sharif with one of his wives. Ruqaiya listens intently.

Hamida bano ask who will go with him? Rakha Sahab says she will be chosen by tomorrow, and that’s going to be the wife, the first ray of sunshine falls on tomorrow, and only that wife, will go with Jalal.
Ruqaiya thinks it will only be me!

Jodha is crying in a dark room. She gets a flashback of how Jalal had asked her to spend the entire day in that room and think about her actions and he doesn’t want others to see her in that state!

Jalal finds a strand of hair on himself and recalls his interactions with Jodha at Amba temple, lake and the horse ride. He is lost in thoughts when Maham Anga comes and asks about Jodha. He tells her that Jodha was committing suicide, but he got there in time to save her. Maham Anga asks why he brought her back to Agra?

Jalal takes Jodha’s side and he realised that both he and Jodha are sailing in the same boat, that his pain is the same as Jodha, he lacks real relations, likewise Jodha too.

Finally, he says that Jodha will always be his responsibility as a Queen of the Mughal Sultanate! Maham Anga is shocked to hear Jalal’s words.

Maham Anga is agitated in her room when Salima comes there. Maham Anga tells her about the Priest words for Ajmer Sharif, and the Queen that would accompany her. Salima tells her that she’s worried about Jodha. Maham Anga says that her room is in the West! Salima says she wanted Jodha to go with Jalal and wants only the good for Jalal.

Ruqaiya tells Hoshiyar that she will be the only one to go with Jalal to Ajmer!

Salima is offering namaz/Islamic prayer/Salat, when Hamida bano, who is with Ruqaiya opens a door of a room and finds Jodha in that room and the sun rays was falling on Jodha, while she’s still fast asleep. Hamida bano says Jodha will be the one to go with Jalal now. Ruqaiya is angry. Jodha wakes up, and greets Hamida bano. Ruqaiya leaves from there.

Hamida bano also gives Jodha a religious advice based on a responsible behaviour, as from henceforth, and to also act like a Queen of Agra and also Amer’s daughter.
Hamida tells her about the Priest words, and asks her to go to Ajmer with Jalal. Jodha agrees as she wants to please her Mother.
