Jodha is sitting on the terrace, Jalal comes and says sorry to disturb your thought, he says you like this place, Jodha says yes, that’s why I daily come here, but why do you come here to see me? Jalal says nothing like that, I was just passing by, Jodha says I was thinking about you, Jalal ask what? Jodha says I was thinking… she says leave it.
Jalal says why you always leave your talk in the middle? Jodha says why you want to listen? Jalal says I like your thoughts, they are deep, Jodha says I was thinking to thank you for showing trust in me in this matter, Jalal says you earned that thought, Jodha says what if I had actually placed the Statues?
Jalal says for an Emperor, all people are same irrespective of their religion, caste, creed. He says when you drank poison, I went to your Kahna and prayed for your life, at the time of Nikah, I agreed to your point that you will follow your religion, he says I trusted you because you have a golden heart, he is about to leave, but Jodha put her hand on his, he is surprised, he tries to caress her hand, she takes her hand away being shy.
Maham tells Ruqaiya to get up and fight for her rights, Ruqaiya says I didn’t lose but my game fired back, Maham says you played wrongly, you involved Jalal in it, it would have been within just the Harem. They would have turned against Jodha, but with Jalal’s involvement, he made everyone believe that Jodha is inocent, look how much trust he has on her?
Ruqaiya says he took her side and insulted me, she saved his life, but that doesn’t mean I will surrender my precious thing to her, Jalal is only mine! Maham says that’s the spirit I wanted, just consult me in every matter, I know politics a lot, she ask Maham why would you help me? Maham says I hate Jodha a lot and want her to go from Jalal’s life!
Jodha comes back to her room, Moti ask where were you? Jodha says I was in the garden, Moti says why this smile then? Jodha says nothing, Moti says why you took so much time sitting lonely? Jodha says Jalal came there, Moti says oh, you both are together everywhere; in a boat, in journey, in garden, why don’t you tell him your feelings? Jodha is thoughtful.
Outside, Jalal thinks maybe she has feelings for me, but I will not go to her again, as I was insulted earlier on, and I can’t bear that again! Mirza comes there, Jalal ask if you have feelings for someone, then what should one do?
Moti says to Jodha that if you have feelings, then go and tell him, Jodha says I can’t.
Mirza says he should tell his heart out, Jalal says if he is rejected once, Mirza says then he should not go again, else his friendship can be in danger too.
Jodha thinks if Moti is right that I have developed feelings for Jalal.
Jalal thinks that he will not take step this time, else it will be dangerous.
Hamida says to Jiji Anga that I don’t know why Ruqaiya is so jealous of Jodha. Gul badan says she can’t do this cheap thing, Hamida says she was so innocent in childhood, thank God Jalal believed Jodha, Hamida says Ruqaiya disappointed me a lot, she says Gul you are her Aunt, explain to her that power is not everything, she should not be blinded by it. Hamida says one should listen to one’s heart.
Sharifudden is seeing beautiful painting of Jodha and she looks beautiful, but this painting is not defining your beauty, it can be felt by taking you in my arms, touching youe lips. He says I can’t wait anymore, soon, you will be in arms. He says the Artist should be given some gift for this painting.
Bakshi comes there, he says I was saying that this painting is good, but it should be of yours, he says I know what’s going on in the Harem, he says you women do good politics. He looks at the painting and says Tabassum artist is amazing and she sketched it beautifully, it seems like Jalal calls her often to make Jodha’s picture. Bakshi says we should send this to Jodha as it’s looking odd in our room, Sharifudden says yes, send it to her.
Jalal comes to Salima, he says I wanted your suggestion, I am tensed, he says I can’t decide about Harem’s leader, tell me something, Salima says I have one idea to sort this, Salima says leave kingship, Jalal says what? Salima says else, you will have to face all this, she says 2nd option is that you have to choose one of them, Jalal says no other option? salima says being the King of Kings, you have to face these difficulties, Jalal smiles.
Jodha and Ruqaiya comes to meet Hamida, both says thay want to meet Hamida, a Servant comes and tells her, Hamida says call them both inside, they both greet Hamida, she is happy to see her, Ruqaiya says I WANT YOU TO PRAY FOR ME TO WIN, Jodha says I WANT YOU TO PRAY FOR HAREM’S PEACE, Hamida says not anything for you? Jodha says I am also a part of this harem.
Ruqaiya says will you not pray fro me? Hamida says you are like my daughter and I pray that you go on the right path, Ruqaiya and Jodha goes out, Ruqaiya says to Jodha that good you came to take her blessing, it’s important for you, Jodha says for prosperity, blessings are important, you can’t win only by playing games. Ruqaiya says what you mean that I put those Statues in the Harem?
Jodha says I didn’t say that, but seems like you are accepting it yourself, Jodha says I feel bad, you handled the Harem for years and did this cheap thing. Ruqaiya says it’s politics, Jodha says I don’t wanna play that cheap politics, Ruqaiya shouts! Jodha ask her to lower down her voice, it doesn’t look good on a Queen, Jodha leaves from there. Ruqaiya says today, I will make you loose!
All the Harem Queens and Servants come in Court, Jalal says I used to choose Harem leader but today, there will be voting, the candidates are Jodha and Ruqaiya, he says it will be done openly, you will tell your name openly, in the end, we will count votes and that will be the leader.
Jalal ask HAMIDA to start, she says from many years, Ruqaiya have taken good care of the Harem, but she neglected some problems, so the new leader can be given chance, so I take Jodha’s name, GUL BADAN chooses Ruqaiya, JIJI ANGA names Jodha, then MAHAM says I give my vote to Ruqaiya, SALIMA takes Ruqaiya’s name, BAKSHI remembers Sharifudden looking at Jodha’s picture, she takes Ruqaiya’s name.
On the otherside, Sujamal enters Agra, he says to Bhaan Singh that I have to see Jodha once to see if she is alright, Bhaan warns him, but he says go from here, Ii will meet you after meeting Jodha, he goes.
In Court, all the Queens votes for their candidates, after counting, it is found that there is a tie between them, only you (Jalal), Ruqaiya and Jodha are left, Jalal ask JODHA about her vote? Jodha remembers the suffering of the Servants. She says I am giving my vote to myself.
Ruqaiya says I request that Jalal first tells to whom his vote is given, JALAL says you both are very important for me, but if I have to choose, then I will choose the one who was with me in my thick and thin, so I chose Ruqaiya, Jodha looks at Jalal and nods to him.
Jodha gets the flashback where Jodha comes to Jalal and says I want a favour from you, Jodha says I want your vote, Jalal says you know it’s against the rule to ask for vote like this, you are bribing, why you are doing this? Jodha says I don’t want to come between you and Ruqaiya, so if you take my name in Court, then her heart will break, so I want you to give your vote to her, Jalal says you always surprises me, he ask what will I get? She says what can I give to the Emperor, she leaves. FB ends.
A Servant says now they both are on tie and only Ruqaiya’s vote is left, RUQAIYA says I am happy that Harem people loves me, Jalal supported me which is an honor for me, I tried my best to serve this Harem but some people think that I am not deserving to this post, so I want to give them a chance, I choose Jodha’s name for this post, all are stunned. All congratulates Jodha, Maham smirks at Jodha.
All Queens are discussing how Ruqaiya can leave her right, she is pretending to be nice.
In the room, Jodha says Ruqaiya loves to be the Harem leader, then why she took my name? Moti says I thought she will bring storm if you win, but she gave it to you smilingly, she says I don’t understand why Salima took Ruqaiya’s name, Jodha smiles and says I said to her to take Ruqaiya’s name.
FB shows that Salima says I will choose only you, Jodha says Ruqaiya is your sister and if you don’t choose her, then dispute will be created between you and her. Salima says she is my sister but you understand relations better. FB Ends.
Hamida says I know Ruqaiya, she can’t give her right to anyone else, Gul Badan says maybe she is tired and wants to give Jodha a chance, Hamida says I hope you are right.
Jalal outside thinks that why did Ruqaiya backout after coming at the winning line, what win is hidden behind giving this position to Jodha?
Jodha and Moti comes to the Temple, Jodha says I wanted to take blessing to Maa before starting Harem work, she is giving food to the poors.
Sujamal in disguise is also sitting there, he drags Jodha and takes her aside, he says it’s me Sujamal, Jodha is happy to see him. She remembers their sword fighting, their time spent together then she remembers Jalal’s words that Sujamal has killed his soldiers, Jodha says I don’t want to see your face, firsr, you fought against Bharmal then with Jalal, he says these wars are happening from years, Mughals are our enemy.
Jodha says that the Mughal Emperor is my husband, Sujamal says I didn’t kill them, they died in war, so I sent their body respectfully to Agra. Jodha tells him that every Mughal here is thristy for your blood, so go from here, he says I just wanted to see you, he leaves, Jodha is emotional.
In Court, Atgah says Rana Pratap is plotting against us, Jalal orders to look into this matter, Jalal says when Jodha got consciousness, I announced a ceremony, so there will be a grand cereminy in haveli, I will tell this to Jodha myself.
In the room, Maham says to Ruqaiya that you played a wonderful game, all were so shocked, Ruqaiya says she will not get saved from me unlike Benazir, she says Jodha will be involved in Harem matters, she will be solving problems of the Harem and Jalal will be solving my hairs, Jodha will get no time for Jalal, she says other thing is that the Harem is not easy to handle, she has to do the arrangements of food, solve fights, then she will know! She says now, I attacked only Jodha and didn’t involve Jalal in it.
