Read Previous: Tuesday update on Jodha & Akbar, 31st March, 2020
Flashback shows that Maham Anga is shocked to know about her look alike and pretends that it is unbelievable, as someone is doing all this, wearing her face! FB ends.
Jalal placed sword on the look alike’s neck and ask why she wore his Aunt’s face and why she killed his Child!
The look alike is been taken to the Prison. Jalal comes to Maham Anga and says I am happy you are saved from this conspiracy. Hamida bano says you have taken Mughal justice to a new level. Jalal says no, little justice remains and says whatever I did with Jodha and her innocent brothers were required at that time, and it was wrong, so I am sorry for whatever happened with them.
Jodha is stunned. Bhagwant das says no, you are a King and you have the right, whatever you did was the requirement of that moment, you don’t need to say sorry. And you have raised your dignity by saying sorry as a King.
Maham Anga in her room is laughing continuously when Resham says I have to say you are great in playing family politics, and nobody can get to your mind! Maham Anga says never talk about this topic again, everything is finished now and laughs.
Jalal and Hamida bano comes to her room. Maham Anga says you could have asked me, and I would have come. Jalal says not to embarrass him and now that the real Culprit is caught, why is she tensed? Maham Anga says I didn’t get to know about that look alike, and that she was conspiring against you, and that gives me tension, as I could have saved your unborn Son but couldn’t, and when you were a Child, I saved you from the roof incidence, but I didn’t save your heir.
Jalal says he is sad that he lost his Child, but it would have hurt him the more, if he had lost her. He says thank God, she’s out of doubt. He hugs her.
Hamida bano says Jalal is right, you have done so much for him. Maham Anga says I have done what a Mother should do, and I can do anything for my Child. Jalal takes her blessing and leaves.
Resham says God, you said you can do anything for Adham Khan, and he didn’t get a single clue, I have to say you can change yourself at anytime! You do not only have a double face, but a dual nature as well! Salute to you!!
Jodha is sitting, when a Servant brings haldi (tumeric) paste for Jodha to use, as she hasn’t done any beauty tips in the past few days. But she refuses, saying she’s in no mood for it.
Jalal comes to Jodha and says I have a good news for you. Jodha says I know you have done preparations for me to go to Amer. Jodha says I am very happy to know that I am going back to Amer, as there will be peace there.
She says here, the PEACE word doesn’t exist, and you have tortured me a lot. She says as a divorcee, I will go back, but my father will accept me, and it would be an extreme bad news for them, as they will be hurt when they hear that their daughter was being tortured here, and would soon be a divorcee, but I will be happy living a life of divorcee. She adds that for a married woman, her dead body should be taken out from her in-laws place. But I am happy that my dead body will be taken out from the place I was born, because I can’t die here, as I die here daily.
She says sometimes, it’s my emotions that are killed, sometimes, it’s her dignity, or respect. Jodha says there must be some order, and that’s why you are here, I am your wife, so I will listen to your every order, so tell me, what it is.
Jalal says stop! You keep saying Amer, Amer! Don’t forget you are still in Agra!
Jodha says how can I forget? I am here dying inside! Jalal flinches his palm. Jodha says you are angry, so take it out on me, I will be happy that I have satisfied you by taking your anger out.
Jalal says yes, I am very angry, but leave it! He says what to say to a person who is a guest for just 2 days? He leaves. Jodha is shattered.
Javeda comes to Maham Anga. Maham Anga says God, she is here again! Javeda says I didn’t liked when Jalal pushed you to the ground! Maham Anga says it wasn’t me. Javeda says people thought it was you, as she was same as you. Javeda says she thinks if she had succeeded in her evil plan, she would have beheaded you and hinge the throne. Maham Anga says do not think, else your brain will ache! She then says she doesn’t have the brain, so how will it ache?
Javeda says Jodha is stuck every time, because of you! She leaves.
Resham says she is right, Jodha always get to be the prey, because of you. Maham Anga says she did a foolish act by doubting me in front of everyone! Resham ask will her doubt have stopped like that? Maham Anga says only Jodha can answer that.
Maham Anga is on her way, going to Jodha, when she sight Rahim playing. Maham Anga grabs him and says you stole that box! Rahim gets afraid and comes to Jodha and hugs her. Jodha ask what happened? He says Maham Anga is behind him.
Maham Anga comes and says how are you to Rahim? He says I am fine. Maham Anga says you got very much attached to Jodha, do you remember the story that I told you? He says no. She says this is the good thing about Children, as they don’t remember things that much.
Maham Anga says it’s good you stole that box, else how would I have been proved innocent? Rahim leaves.
Jodha ask the reason for her visit? Maham Anga says I am here to congratulate you, that we are proved innocent. Maham Anga says I want to make that Kheer that you were preparing that day. Jodha remembers when she asked Maham Anga if this is how she mixed Thorn Apple’s extract in the Saffron.
Jodha is shocked and says whatever was said, was by you, and not your look alike! Jodha says it means you were present in the Kitchen that day, not a look alike.
Maham Anga gives a wicked smile and says Jalal had conducted the investigations himself, and everything is now over, as the Culprit is caught, and I am out of suspicion, as everyone now believes that I am innocent. She asks why she thinks Jodha still doubt her and how to remove this doubt? Jodha looks at Maham Anga doubtfully.
Maham Anga says let’s go to Jalal again, he is an expert in justice, now ask him to investigate the matter again!
Jodha is disgusted. Maham Anga says my mother used to say that “if you believe that poison is in front of you, and you taste it to prove your belief, then you you will die, but your belief will not be proved” She leaves saying they will meet again!
A guard comes and gives a message to Bhagwant das & others. They get agitated and worried. They meet Jalal and tell him that someone has attacked Amer. Bhagwant das says you can inspect the situation, but Bharmal is alone there. He says the reason we are here is over, as the Culprit is now caught, so allow us to leave.
Jalal says I understand and offers his force to join them as they might need it. Bhagwant das says it’s really great of you, but Bharmal has arranged his force and we brothers will fight with the situation.
Jalal asks them to meet Jodha, but they wanted to leave ASAP. Jalal says okay, I will order to do the preparations for your leave. Bhagwant das thanks him and leaves.
Jalal says I know you won’t need my force, as you brothers can fight alone, I’ve seen it. He appreciate their bravery.
Jodha on the other hand, says I wanted to leave with my brothers, I don’t understand Jalal, one side he wants me to go, then why did he allow them to leave without her?
She comes out to where Jalal is practicing sword fighting and get a cut. The Soldier puts the sword down and ask for forgiveness. Jalal says we will progress until Soldiers like you are present.
Jodha comes and says I want to speak with you. He ask everybody to leave, shouting “Privacy!” Jalal says it has become your hobby to interrupt me in everything. Jodha says you say something else, and do other thing. She asks why he didn’t send her with her brothers? Jalal says you always complain that I don’t listen, but it’s you, who doesn’t listen.
He says Bharmal asked them to urgently come, so I allowed them to go.
While practicing, he puts sword on her neck. Jodha says she can’t breath here, she wants to go. He says I am also not interested in stopping you. She sees a cut on his hand and puts mud from Tulsi plant on it. Jalal says this much care, why? She says I saw a cut, so I applied mud on it. He says but I didn’t ask you to do so. Jodha says you are only an injured person for me, not a King, and it’s my responsibility to treat an injured person.
Jalal says great in lovey dovey words, but there is smell of hatred, he likes it and he cuts his other hand. Jodha is stunned. He ask will you not apply mud on it? Jodha gives him a furious glance and leaves. ishq hai wo ehsas song plays…
Maham Anga is offering prayers when she sees Adham Khan. He says first, I behead your look alike, then roam about in Agra with her head, but I was remembering your face when I saw her.
Maham Anga says it was only your fear, I am here in front of you. She says she was Lakhi. He ask who? Maham Anga says I met her and she recalls some past events, where she met Lakhi in a traditional dance. He ask how she met her? Maham Anga says when Jalal was a Child, enemies were searching for him to kill him, and when she saw her look alike, she was shocked. To save Jalal from the enemies, I asked her to become Maham Anga for some days to save the heir of the Mughals, and offers her a big amount, which she agreed to. She became Maham Anga and the enemies followed her, thinking she’s the real Maham Anga, and I saved Jalal as a result of that. Then after some days, I met her and filled her house with gold as per my promise and beared her daughter’s marriage expenses, and she promised me that she will always be there whenever I need her.
She says she almost forgot her, but few days back, when herself and Hamida bano were discussing history, and Hamida bano says Mulla Beckham had a look alike and he used him. Then I remembered that Lakhi, and went to her and tells her it’s time for pay back. She agreed and I put her in a secret room. Jalal came and saw her. Maham Anga says to her, you are doing a great job, keep it up. Jalal doubts increased and after two days, Jalal showed me Lakhi and said she is your look alike, but not in doings and it was her Rahim saw mixing datura in the saffron.
She adds that she asked Lakhi not to say a thing in Court and she did exactly that and got her punishment instead.
Maham Anga says she beheaded herself only because of a promise given to me. Adham Khan says strange, as you never appreciated me this much. Maham Anga says she deserves this appreciation, as this is the special thing about this group of people, as they can die, but do not change their tongues!
Ruqaiya is playing ancient ludo when Hoshiyar comes excitedly. Ruqaiya says she thinks she has gotten the news about the festival. Hoshiyar says he also knows who is not participating. Ruqaiya asks who can be this foolish, not to dare participate, as this is the only chance for all wives to get closer to Jalal and says only one will not participate, and that is Jodha. Hoshiyar says he had same news.
Jalal suddenly comes, and ask no hookah today for me? Ruqaiya says she has a news that has more addiction. Ruqaiya says tomorrow is Mena Bazaar/the market day (a market/stall where the queens and other women in the Women quarters/harem sell variety of goods, just to showcase it to to the Emperor, in order to get his attention). Jalal ask what’s new? Ruqaiya says I always present something special and will make you stunned like always, but someone is not participating. Jalal ask who will not be present? Ruqaiya says Jodha.
Jalal says impossible, she will have to, as it’s a tradition of the Women Quarters! Ruqaiya says but it’s not necessary. Jalal says it is, as it’s tradition and all should follow it!
Ruqaiya says why so much tension, besides, you have only put these traditions aside for her, just by allowing her to follow her religion, and you allowed her to do prayers in the Women Quarters.
Jalal is about to leave, when Ruqaiya asks where he’s going? He says the last order she has to follow! Ruqaiya ask last? He says I have sent letter to Bharmal to take Jodha from here, and she will leave very soon. Ruqaiya says she must leave, as she doesn’t respect him!
Jalal comes to Jodha and says yesterday, you said you will follow all my orders as long as you are still here, but what is this! You are not participating in the market traditions? Jodha retorts that you also said that you will not pressurize me, as I am a guest for 2 days! Jalal says as long as you are still here, you have to follow the traditions and you are my wife here, so you must follow my orders! Jodha says I’ll leave in 2 days, so why should I follow the traditions of this Palace?
Jalal says to Jodha that every wife participate in the festival and you should be there as well, and remember, as long as you are still here, nobody should know about you going back to Amer! He leaves.
Jodha thinks that I will be leaving in two days, but he’s not leaving any chance to annoy me, but this time, I will not bow down and will show him what I can do!
Jodha comes to Hamida bano and greets her. Hamida bano is embroidery a suit. Jodha ask what is this? Hamida bano tells her and says every wife do something for their husband, your mother does that as well. Jodha nods. Hamida bano ask do you know the reason behind the market day? Jodha says to impress the King, to get his attention.
Hamida bano says when it was arranged the first time, the reason was big, and that was because the wives in the Palaces do not get to see the outside world, so on this day, they get the chance to see the sky, actually wives buy their happiness on this day. Jodha is thoughtful.
