Jalal is discussing tax in Court. Ruqaiya urges that he should not abolish tax. Jodha then offers to pay tax for her two babies. Ruqaiya exclaims that one of the babies is hers and so no tax is needed. Jalal then explains that since a Hindu mother had given birth, so the children are Hindu and so they ought to pay tax. Ruqaiya then urges Jalal to convert them to Islam, but Jalal tells them that just for avoiding tax, no one would be converted. Ruqaiya then suggests Jalal to change the rule. Jalal is happy that Ruqaiya understood him.
Birbal then explains how abolition of tax would help them, but the Maulvies worry how could he equate Hindu religion with Islam, they are different. Another Minister explains that their coffers would be empty if tax was abolished. Jalal then declares that all religions are equal and no tax would be levied for their religion.
Later, Jodha and Jalal are sitting very close arms around each other. Jodha is very happy that he abolished tax. Jalal praises Jodha for her efforts. Jodha the gives credits to Mahesh das, Birbal. She praises Birbal. Jalal gets irritated with her for praising Birbal.
Jodha and Jalal are very happy they share their happiness on being Parents of two lovely children they were the happiest on this earth. The Children start crying, both Jodha and Jalal hold one child in their arms and pacify the children. Jodha calms the baby easily, but Jalal is not able to pacify the baby. Jodha then takes the other baby from Jalal and calm the baby too.
At Birbal’s room in the Palace, his wife is very happy with the Emperor for that beautiful living space, and Birbal praises his Wife. Birbal discusses Emperor’s difficult problems that he had solved. Pati Patni spend some close moments.
Ruqaiya comes to Hameeda’s room. After Hameeda finished Namaaz, Ruqaiya asks her to give her one of the babies. Hameeda tells her that the babies are very small and they still need their Mother now. Ruqaiya pleads that the baby would get used to Jodha and later would not accept any other as his Mother. Ruqaiya assures Hameeda that she would employ a good nursemaid for the baby just as Hameeda had done for Jalal. Hameeda says that it was her compulsion then, as she had no choice. But Ruqaiya is adamant that it was the routine practice to employ a nursemaid in royal families.
Jalal over hears this conversation and goes to Jodha’s room and finds her spending happy close moments with her babies. Jalal reminds Jodha that only one of those babies is hers. Jodha gets upset and weeps. Jalal then reminds her that he had warned her then.
Ruqaiya comes to Jodha’s room. Jodha then offers Ruqaiya one of the twins, Hussain. Jodha picks up Hussain from the cradle, she is distraught as she thinks of giving him to Ruqaiya. She carries him in her arms and caresses him tearfully. Ruqaiya gets impatient to hold the baby. Jodha gets emotional as she hands over the baby, Hussain to Ruqaiya. After Ruqaiya has gotten the baby, she thinks that she had to take that baby who loved jodha the most just like Jodha had taken Jalal from her (Ruqaiya)! Ruqaiya leaves the room stating Hussain’s room is ready.
Jodha is heart broken and weeps. Jalal hugs her and pacifies her. He lovingly tells her that she had done something no other Mother could do.

The Doctor comes to check the Children, Jodha says to all that whatever happened in the last few days, after that, I think that I will completely handle the upbringing of my child, I don’t need any nanny for my child, Jalal ask will you be able to do it? Jodha says I am Hassan’s mother, I will bring them up.
Hussain is crying in Ruqaiya’s lap there too, Jodha comes to her and takes Hussain from her, Hussain stops crying immediately, Jodha says I know this child is yours, but Ruqaiya, if you want, then I can become Hussain’s nanny, Ruqaiya takes Hussain from Jodha and says I know you gave me this child, but I don’t want you to come near him in anyway, I don’t want him to get attached to you, then you become his Mother, I won’t let that happen, I will make sure that you remain away from this child, you cant become his nanny as well! She ask Phuphi to find a good nanny for Hussain, Phuphi agrees, Ruqaiya leaves, Jodha is hurt and has tears in her eyes.

Bakshi says she is your daughter too, Sharifudden gets angry and he’s about to slap Bakshi but stops, he says just handle your daughter!
Jodha is dressing Hassan, she says to Moti that I don’t know whether Ruqaiya has given syrup to Hussain or not, she calls Hoshiyar into the room and gives him a syrup and ask him to give it to Ruqaiya and tell her that Jodha has sent it to give it to Ruqaiya, Hoshiyar agrees and goes from there with the syrup.
Jalal comes there and sit beside Jodha, Jalal says don’t worry, Ruqaiya will take care of Hussain, Jodha says I know she will be a good Mother, but I don’t know why, I can’t feel content, I feel tension for Hussain.
A Servant comes in and says to Jalal that your guests Mirza Qasim (Jalal’s Paternal Cousin) and his wife Zeenat has come to meet him from Kabul, Jalal says that’s good news, call them inside with respect, I am coming.

Jalal, Phuphi and Ruqaiya talks, Ruqaiya says I am sure Zeenat will become a nanny for my child, Jalal ask are you sure? Ruqaiya says yes, didn’t you listen to what Qasim said about her being very good at handling children and besides, we know her. Jalal ask her to rethink her decision and first observe Zeenat, Ruqaiya says I have seen her, she is a good person, Jalal ask what if she doesn’t agree to become a nanny? Ruqaiya says I am a Royal Wife and this child is the heir to the throne, I will make her agree to it, is it fine now? Jalal says okay, as you wish.
Hussain is crying, Ruqaiya takes him in hands, Zeenat ask her to give her child to her, if we have love between us, then it’s good, I will make him sleep, she goes from there with Hussain.

Phuphi comes to Jodha, Jodha says I am worried for my children, Phuphi says you should know past things as;
Kamran was half brother to Humayun, Humayun loved him a lot, but Kamran always thought that Humayun is his step brother, he had grudges against him, the matter went ahead that Kamran made a plan to kill Humayun, but he was unsuccessful in it, so after that, Humayun had to make him blind to make him stay away from government.

Ruqaiya says no, I will learn from the nanny, but how do you know all this? Jalal says I have seen all this in dream? Ruqaiya says strange, I don’t see any dream like this. Jalal says think about children, then sleep, only then will you see this dream. Ruqaiya says it’s impressive you know everything, Jalal says at last, you accepted that I am more clever than you, Ruqaiya laughs.
