Jodha says to Moti that I know Salim knows Nadela from before, but there’s something in between them, Salim was denying marriage at first, then said yes, if Anarkali is behind all this, there is something fishy, I have to find out, she ask Moti that I trust only you, find out about this matter. Moti says don’t worry, I will find out.
Jalal comes there, Moti leaves, he tells her about the Coins which will have name of his and God’s name, Jodha says it’s like equality between you and your God, is this right? Jalal says I am doing all this for my people, I want them to know that I am with them, Jodha says okay, fine. Jalal says I have everything now, I have WEALTH, I have YOU, MY SON, I don’t think I need anything from God. Jodha says don’t talj like this, we should always extend hands to him, Jalal says I believe that one can get anything if they work hard, Jodha says but you can’t deny bowing to God, Jalal says I don’t want to argue today, I am happy, she says okay, he hugs her.
Mann Baisa comes to Daniyal, but he starts leaving, she stops him and says I wanted to talk to you, I am nervous, he says I have work, I will meet you later, she says what happened to you? I got to know that Anarkali was alleged of stealing, Daniyal says yes, but she was announced innocent by Jalal, Mann Baisa says good, I know Anarkali can’t do this.
Moti listens to them, Daniyal ask how you can be sure about her? She says I know her, she is my friend, she used to do my Make up, I don’t how she became a Dancer, it must be some problem, fate do this with us, Daniyal says we don’t know what will happen to our dreams, sometimes, we think something and that doesn’t happen at all. Mann Baisa ask who is the girl in your life? He says I have no one in my life, he leaves. Mann Baisa thinks what happened to him?
The Soldier is giving orders to make new coins, he tells the Workers about the Coins design that one side will be Jalal’s name and other side God’s name, the Maker says this is not right, this is against religion. The Soldier says we are all Jalal’s worker.
Shah comes there, the soldier says that the Makers are denying to make these coins, Shah says do you guys need to get beaten?? They says we can get beaten, but can’t do this. Shah ask the Soldiers to beat them! The Soldier beats them.
Jodha is sleeping, she sees dream of;
Jalal playing with fire, with full anger.
She wakes up and finds Jalal sleeping by her side, she says why am I feeling same like I did when Hassan and Hussain died?
Shah says to the Makers that now decide, if you want work or want to get beaten??
Jodha says if this is a clue for something bad that is going to happen, but what could it be? She looks at Jalal sleeping, she prays that;
If any problem comes, then it should meet me before my family, she kisses Jalal’s forehead.
In the morning, Jalal says to Jodha that I am very much happy, as coins are going to be released, then i will announce Salim’s marriage, he ask Jodha why you seem tensed? Jodha says can you stop this announcement? Jalal says how can I? The people are waiting for this announcement, I can’t postpone it, I know you love me which is why you are worried for me, but trust me everything will be fine, now get ready for this announcement.
Shah and Maan Singh comes there and says all preparations are done, Jalal leaves, Jodha is tensed.
Jodha ask Moti about Anarkali? Moti tells her that Anarkali used to live in Amer, she was Mann Baisa’s friend and not a Dancer, Mann Baisa can tell you about her, Jodha leaves.
Salim says to Qutub that I have to talk to Anarkali, Qutub says what’s the need? Salim says I need to tell her that I never wanted this for her, I never wanted her to become a Dancer, I can’t bear that she is bearing all this because of me, I have to say sorry to her that I misunderstood her, Qutub says when she is not interested in talking to you, then what’s the need for all this? Salim says there is need, I want to rectify my mistake, I want to tell her that I am hurt with all this too, Qutub says whom you are fooling, me or yourself? You want to meet her because you love her.
Salim says no, nothing like this, Qutub says there is very thin line between love and hate and you also don’t know when your hate changed to love, Salim says now, what should I do? Qutub says accept her, you have given her the tag of a Dancer, now save her life from that dance bar, remember if Dancer’s tag doesn’t remove from her head, then you won’t be able to accept her, don’t leave this chance, bring her out of that dance bar, soon, you will get married to Mann Baisa and Anarkali will remain a Dancer, she will dance in your marriage in front of all, Salim says no, I won’t let this happen, I will give her the life that she deserves!
Jodha gives sweet dish to Mann Baisa and says I know you like it, Mann Baisa says how can I eat? I have henna tattoo in my hands? Jodha says I will make you eat then, Jodha makes her eat, Jodha ask are you happy in Agra? Mann Baisa nods, Jodha says you will leave all your friends in Amer, so will you able to adjust here? Mann Baisa says yes, this is normal, that girl leaves her house and comes to her husband’s house, you also came here leaving everyone. Jodha says yes, but I miss Amer days, how we spend time with friends, but you have no friend here? Mann Baisa says I have you with me, Daniyal is also here and there is one friend of mine in Agra, Anarkali is my friend.
Jodha says that Dancer? Mann Baisa says yes, she is in problem which is why she became a Dancer, but she used to do my Make up in Amer, her father died, so she had to become a Dancer, she shows her peacock jewelry and says Anarkali gave this to me in Amer’s function, Jodha is shocked and says Anarkali gave you this? Mann Baisa says yes, she loves me a lot, she is a good Make up Artist, I wish all her problems finishes.
Jodha stops Salim, she ask where are you going? Today, there is announcement for new coin, Salim says I will return on time, Jodha says I know Jalal and you don’t share good relations, but don’t hold grudges, don’t do something which will hurt him, if you don’t come in function, then he will be hurt. Salim says I promise I will come on time.
Jalal ask his Ministers if the preparations are done for the new coins announcement? Shah says yes, the coins are ready, Jalal says Todar, you have responsibility to see to everything in the function, Todar nods.
Jodha comes to Hamida, Hamida ask where is Salim? It’s time to announce new coin. Jodha says he will come, she comes to Murad and Haidar and ask about Salim? Murad says I don’t know where he is, Jodha thinks that Salim promised to come till announcement.
Haidar Khan thinks that Salim will not come and Jalal will get angry! A Servant comes and says Jalal has asked all to come to introduce the new coin.
Jalal comes to address the people, Jalal says on this happy occasion, my family and people are with me, every year, I introduce new coins but today, I want to tell you that when I was young and became a King, it was my dream to rule over the whole India and today, Mughal flag is ruling the whole India, now, I am ruling the whole area, but this all happened because of the support from my Nation, my family. All chant for Jalal.
Salim comes to the Dance bar, he aska Dancer if Anarkali is there? The Dancer says no, she is not here, she is at her house, Salim leaves.
Jalal says to people that;
The new Coin will have God’s name on one side and Jalal’s name on other side, Jalal says God has given me strength to become god of my people, I will give people everything they need from God, I said once that my Nation is like my child, with new Coins inauguration, I announce Salim as… he doesn’t find Salim there and gets angry, he says I announce Mann Baisa and Salim’s marriage.
Salim says to Anarkali that I want to talk to you, she says let me go, he grabs her by hand, he comes closer to her and says you need to understand my guilt, you have to feel my pain, you have to see that I hated you and now, I can’t see your tears, because it is not hate, this is love, I love you a lot, Rabba is pyar mein plays… They share eyelock.
Jalal says earlier, I made two Nations come closer by marrying Jodha and now, my Son is following that path, he has given nod to this marriage.
Anarkali says to Salim that I don’t believe you, Salim says I want to give this relationship a way, Anarkali says leave my way! Salim says your way and my way is one, so I can’t leave it, but I can leave anything for you, she ask can you leave Mann Baisa? He says yes, I can leave her, I can leave this Crown Prince tag, I can leave everything for you, Anarkali says to get someone by leaving other is selfishness, not love! She leaves.
Jalal says to people that;
I am a powerful King of history, you people are safe because of only me!
Jodha says to Birbal that I am hurt with Jalal’s words, he is not like this, it seems like he is not seeing anything clearly, Birbal says time is changing, tides are changing ways, a big storm is coming and we can’t stop it, we have to face it, Jodha says I wish I can tell Jalal that he is thinking wrong. Birbal says no need, as his thought process has gone wrong and he can’t see anything, everything is blur, Jodha says I just hope that Jalal sees what he is doing, Birbal says Jalal is surrounded by people who are showing him the wrong way.
The Priest prays for Jalal’s life, Jalal introduces the new Coin, the people are not much happy. Shah says that;
From today, there is one God in sky and one God on earth, and that is Jalaluddin Muhammad Akbar!
Jodha is shocked, Jalal smirks, all are stunned.
Strong winds starts blowing, people says this is indication that the time coming is going to be tough, one person have challenged God which is wrong.
Jalal announce that;
God is standing in front of you all and you will get anything from me!
Hamida says how this change came in weather? Ruqaiya says yes, it’s cold. Jalal comes and asks where is Shekhu baba??? Why wasn’t he present there? I couldn’t say anything, everyone observed his absence! Hamida says calm down. Jalal says how can I calm down?? I announced his Nikah there, the guests would have mind it so much! Hamida says he might be stuck somewhere. Jalal says I will talk to him myself! Jodha overhears it.
Salim is in his room, he recalls Anarkali saying leaving your family to have someone is selfishness not love. He says why don’t you understand, it was all unintentional? How can I tell you how much I love you? I can’t live without you. He recalls his moment with her.
Jodha comes to him and says salim why were you not in the announcement? Salim says I was busy somewhere else. Jodha says what will I say when he will ask me? He announced your wedding and you weren’t there? Suddenly, a Soldier announces Jalal’s arrival. Jodha says what will happen now? Jodha starts pretending like he is ill. She says you should take care of your health, you won’t move from here until you are well, you didn’t need to come to the eve, nothing matters more than your health.
Jalal comes in and asks what happened to him? Jodha says he fainted due to weakness, tell him to eat his food on time, Jalal caresses his head. He says Salim, you should have rested, call the Doctor for him, you have to take care of your health, so next time, you are not absent from such an important function, rest until you are well. I have to apologize to a lot of people, I will come later. Jalal leaves.
Salim says why did you lie to him? Jodha says because I didn’t want him to get mad at you. For the first time, I lied to my husband and it’s because of you. Now tell me where you went? Salim says I don’t need to tell you and you don’t have to lie to your husband because of me. I will tell him the truth! Jodha says you won’t go anywhere. Salim says I am going to tell him!
Salim says to Jalal, wait Emperor. I want to tell you something today. I want to tell you what’s in my heart. To be honest, I don’t even like your face! Jodha is shocked. Salim says this Castle suffocates me, and no matter what you announce, I won’t be part of it, I hate you and I hate this Castle, I hate being the Crown Prince!
Jodha says Emperor, he is not well that is why he is saying all this, don’t listen to him. He is hyper because of sickness, don’t listen to him. Jalal says I feel pity for his condition, he has taken Opium. Jodha says that’s not possible. Jalal grunts that is the truth, look at his eyes, Jalal grasps his face. He slaps Salim and says look, this is the Crown Prince, who can’t handle his ownself! Call Doctor Sahib!
A woman checks Salim. Jalal says it’s all because of the Opium! The Doctor says he isn’t well Emperor. Jalal says he has taken Opium, right? She says no, it’s because of severe fever. Jalal says look at his eyes and his condition, but she says this happens when you have severe fever. She says he will be okay after some dose.
Jodha says how can you even think that our Son can be addicted to it? Jalal says I said what I felt. I am happier than you to know that he is not addicted and it will be better for him not to get indulged in such activity!
Ruqaiya gives the Doctor her money and says no one should know that you did this on my orders! She says what if Emperor gets to know that I have lied, he will kill me! Ruqaiya says I am here to save you, so don’t worry. She leaves. Ruqaiya says no one will ever know Jalal, that your Son is addicted to something worse than Opium!
Next morning, Jalal says this is the second attack and our enemies have attacked us from same direction, I want to solve this problem once and for all! Birbal says if we make a fortress in this direction? Todar says he is right Emperor, there is only one village here, there are only people from one cast there. Jalal says I want to get it done soon!
Jodha is praying, she says why is Salim behaving this way God? Please keep my family protected. Moti comes to Jodha and says I know where Salim was, a man saw him going to Anarkali’s home. Jodha says I want to meet Anarkali!
Anarkali says I lost my Dad because of Salim, I lost my dignity because of him, how he thought I will love him? He gave me so much pain. I hate you Salim.
Moti comes to Anarkali and says Jodha wants to meet you.
Mann Baisa comes to Salim and says I will be back to Amer in a few days, father has said he will get the date of our wedding soon, is there any problem? Salim says there is no such problem. Mann Baisa says are you happy with this relationship? He says I need rest, I am not well, he leaves.
Anarkali is coming from his front. She walks past him. Anarkali says greetings to Mann Baisa. She says you are my friend Anarkali, why are you meeting me this way? It’s better that you came here, I was so bored here. Anarkali says I came here to meet Jodha. Why you look worried? Mann Baisa says I am worried for Salim, he never talks to me, he always ignores me, I don’t know if he loves me. Anarkali says there is no such thing, as you are engaged to him and soon, you will get married to him. She says yes, he told Emperor that he like the girl with ‘a Peacock jewelry’ Anarkali is dazed.
Mann Baisa says your Peacock jewelry turned out to be lucky for me. I wore it and he chose me. I will be back to Amer, but you are here. I am happy that at least, someone is here who can work as a rope between me and Salim, keep informing e about him, you should go now, Jodha has called you. Anarkali says yes, she leaves.
Anarkali enters Jodha’s room. Anarkali says sorry to keep you waiting. Jodha says sit down. Jodha says is this Peacock jewelry yours? Anarkali says yes, Jodha says Salim liked the girl who was wearing this. Anarkali says Mann Baisa told me that when she wore it, Salim liked it, Jodha says but it’s yours? Anarkali says yes, but I never wore it. I gifted it to her. Jodha says in heart, this means he must have talked about Mann Baisa. Anarkali says I used to dress her in Amer.
Jodha says it was such in important announcement yesterday, but Salim left and met you. Why? I want your answer, so why are you quiet? Anarkali stands up and says, there can be no relationship between a common Dancer and a Prince. Jodha says then why he left such important moments for you? Tell me, I want to know the truth. What is going on between you two? Anarkali says the only relationship is of hatred. He has been hating me since childhood, he got punished due to my complaints, he had to leave the Castle because of me. He hates my face, and this is why when Emperor gave me the post of Royal Dancer, Salim didn’t like it. He came to ask me to leave this Castle and Post. I tried to tell him that I can’t do anything in front of the King, until he doesn’t want me, I can’t leave.
Jodha says for this, he left the announcement? Anarkali says you should ask him, his hatred for me is greater than the announcement. I couldn’t ask him. Jodha says you can leave now. She leaves.
Jodha says neither Salim is telling me nor Anarkali, but both of them said something without words.
