Jodha comes to her room tensed, Moti asks what happened? What Jalal said about Chand begum? Jodha says did you ever heard that a King is illiterate? He doesn’t know how to read and write? Moti says no, Jodha says there is one, it’s Mughal king Jalal and look how he manages sulatnat, it’s very appreciable. Moti says and you used to write letters to him all these days, Jodha says it means he used to make otherd read my letters.
Jodha recalls how she thanked Jalal earlier in the letter, she recalls how Jalal misunderstood it and came to her room and how she pushed him, Jodha says now I understand why Jalal was saying that night that I invited him and I pushed him, Jodha says this must have happened because somebody read the letter in a wrong manner, so that we will fight and that did happened.
Moti ask who could have done this? Jodha says who else than Maham, she also played in Sujamal’s matter. Moti says I don’t understand what problem she has with you, Jodha says I don’t care about Maham, she got what she did, she is no longer in Jalal’s eye so I don’t care, I am thinking about Chand begum, why she asked for Jalal’s help?
Javeda calls Resham and says I know you are Maham’s special Servant but you don’t know how to do Makeup so I will do it, she calls Zakira and says I know you know about Benazir’s beauty but it went wrong in my case but now you will do Resham’s makeover, do it good and do as I say, Resham says no need but Javeda insists.
Zakira does her make up on Javeda’s guidance, Resham looks horrible after the makeover and even then, Javeda says you are looking stuuning, Resham thinks that I have to bear this as she is Maham’s Daughter-in-law.
Shehnaz says there are 4 gates to enter into the Palace and 2 to get out of here, she thinks there must be secret doors too. Maham’s eyes falls on Shehnaz, Shehnaz too notices Maham simultaneously… She freezes… Maham expresses her suspicions about Shenaz’s intentions and about her sanity. Shenaz manages to find her way out of Maham’s doubts.
Jodha is with Ruqaiya, Ruqaiya says I will not drink this syrup, it’s very bitter, Jodha says it’s change and ask her to drink it. Ruqaiya says you are saying the truth or lying to make me drink it? Jodha says you are stubborn like Rahim, Ruqaiya drinks and says it’s more bitter than that, you lied, Jodha says no, I didn’t lie, it’s more bitter than the previous one, so it’s different, it’s important for you so drink it, Ruqaiya says okay.
Jodha is in thoughts, Ruqaiya says you are lost in thoughts, if Jalal has called you, you can go. Jodha says no, my mind is somewhere else, can I ask you something? Ruqaiya agrees, Jodha says do you know Chand begum? Ruqaiya says no, but Salima told me that she was the Wife of Humayun and she introduced the CONCEPT OF SPECIAL WIVES which is why Jalal has 3 special wives and the most special will be who will become the Marium Zamani (Queen Mother), and I am that lucky one, well you are also very special to Jalal.
Ruqaiya starts pretending to have head ache, Jodha says I will make the remedy, she leaves, Ruqaiya looks at her syrup and smirks.
Hamida and other women are discussing Chand begum, Maham has been invited. Hamida informs Maham about Chand Begum’s letter, and reminds her that Maham was once a loyal servant of Chand begum herself, Maham is shocked to know that her Prisoner has managed to send a message to the Mughals. Maham covers her shocked state quietly, and calmly thinks that had Chand wanted to contact them, then there would not have been any reason for subterfuge (misrepresentation of the true nature of her condition).
Hamida seems to be thinking the same thing but her rational mind points out that maybe Chand feels threatened by a member here. Maham shoots it down, and says there is no need for Chand to hide herself in the Mughal kingdom. Maham takes her leave. Her face turned evil, as soon as her back gets turned to the Queens.
Jalal is lying in Jodha’s lap, they are laughing, Jalal says yes, Khan baba appointed a strict teacher for me and you know what happened with him? I took him to the Jungle and he ran away from Agra being afraid of me, Jodha says you were naughty, Jodha says maybe you are illiterate but you know about so many things, Jalal says thank God he gave me good memory, Jodha says you have many talents, Jalal says less than you.
Jodha says you are a very big King, don’t you think you have to become educated? Jalal says are you taking out problems in me? Jodha says I didn’t mean that, Jalal laughs and says you become serious very quickly, Jalal says it’s true I want to learn things, if the teacher is like you, then it’s better, a teacher who will not run even if I become naughty, Jodha says you always tease me.
Jodha says how will you locate Chand begum, she didn’t write anything in the letter? Jalal gets up and says but I have to find her, Jodha says she lost many years back and why she contacted you now? Is it that someone from the Palace is related to her? Jalal says maybe.
Jalal calls an Artist, Todal, and Atgah. Jalal ask all soldiers to go out, Jalal says I want to know about Chand begum, I want to know how she disappeared, Atgah says yes, this is a mystery, Jalal says it’s dangerous too, so I want you people to help the Artist in making her painting, they agree. Todal and Atgah tell the Artist about Chand begum’s feature.
Maham comes to her secret place and asks the soldiers who helped Chand begum in sending letter to Jalal, she shouts at the woman that you need Jalal’s help?? I am helping, is that less? She slaps the woman. She says next time, if you say anything, then I will bury you here!!
The Artist makes the painting, Jalal looks at it.
The secret woman in Maham’s place is none other than Chand begum, Maham grabs her by her hairs and says remember your life was here, and will only be here! You will not go out from here Chand begum, you will rot here and will die here, there is no place to go out from here, she says I don’t understand who is your well wisher that is telling Jalal about you, I will find him, but you have to tell me about the secret which is in your heart, nobody will come to help you, nobody knows about this place, if you don’t tell me about the treasure and its place, then I will kill you!!! You are dead for the world and if you don’t tell me then I will kill you for real!
Maham says if you don’t care about me, then care about your child, Maham shows her child to her, Chand snatches her child from maham, her state of mind seems not stable, Maham says I promised you that I will not hurt your child, but you have to tell me about the treasure, Maham snatches the child from her and says I know your life is in your child, but for me, the treasure is important, so tell me!
Flashback scene shows Chand begum and cribbing that all want that treasure which King left for my daughter, all want that letter in which it is written that my daughter will get Delhi’s throne. Maham comes there in coloured dress, she ask Chand begum how are you? Chand says the King is out to fight with his enemies but people want that treasure which he left for my daughter, she ask do you have an idea how to save it?
Maham smirks and say why don’t you leave your tension, I am your special Servant, share your load with me, Chand says I told you earlier that I will not share about the treasure with you. Chand says that treasure is of my daughter Nigar. Maham says try to understand that you are not eligible for the treasure which is why everyone is jealous, as you got everything: Delhi, treasure, everything, no you can’t get it easily, tell me where it is?? Chand says don’t forget your limits that you are just a Servant!!
Maham takes out a dagger and shows it to Chand begum, Chand says don’t scare me, I will tell this to the King! Maham says you will tell about me?? I will see whom you will tell and who will purnish me! FB ends.
Maham says to Chand that remember what I did with Gauhur begum.
FB scene shows that Chand begum was running to Gauhur and says that she will kill me, she will kill my daughter! Gauhur ask who? Maham comes there. Gauhar says look, Chand is tensed, Maham you be with her, Chand says no, she is the one who tried to kill me… Gauhur shouts that how could you have done that?? Maham shouts that I don’t need your advise, don’t forget that you were also a Servant and Humayun saw you and liked you, so you became a Queen but remember, I Maham, I am asking you to stay away from my matter!!
Maham comes to Chand and says I am asking you the last time about the treasure, Gauhur tries to intervene, but Maham kills her and says I said that don’t come in my way!! She ask Chand, now who will help you? Chand pleads for her and her daughter’s life, Maham says your daughter is the reason for everything, I will kill her, she is about to attack her daughter, but some noise comes from outside.
A Servant informs that some people have attacked that tent, they all come out, Chand runs from there. FB ends.
Jodha is sitting in front of the dressing table, Jalal comes and looks at her smiling, Jodha is making her hairs, she sees him standing and says I thought you are a King but you are a thief, why you came in sneakingly? Jalal comes to her, Jodha ask why you came at this time? Jalal says do I need permission to come? Jodha says no, Jalal says so I can sleep here? Jalal sits on the bed. Jodha comes to him, Jalal says there is space on the bed, you can sleep here beside me, Jodha says you are twisted as well as selfish.
Jalal says what did I do? Did I hold your hand? He holds her hand, Did I come closer, He comes close to her, Jalal says Did I hug you? He is about to hug her, but Jodha goes away, Jalal sees swing for new born baby and ask about it? Jodha says I brought it so that our child coming will sleep in it, Jalal says I like your thought, just like you say that child as yours, my heart gets peace when you say it. After knowing that he is Ruqaiya’s kid, you care for him like your child, Jodha says if not my kid, then he’s your child, and I am also his Aunt and your blood is in him, Jalal says okay, I will play with this swing when he comes.
Jalal moves the swing but Jodha stops him and says it’s a bad omen, Jalal says sorry and ask how do you know? Jodha says my Mother and Dadi (Grandma) used to tell me about it when Sister-in-law used to be pregnant, Jalal says people will gift my child, but I will wait for his Aunt to gift him this, I will keep this swing till my death… Jodha stops him and says no, our life has now started, I don’t want to even think about our end, Jalal says I promise we will be together always, they hug.
Maham says I was lucky that i found you again.

I used to also live in the Palace, will you take me there? Maham says why not, come with me, she takes her from there, FB ends.
Maham says you lost a lot because of me and you will lose your child if you don’t tell me about the treasure!!!
Some lady is cooking, Shehnaz comes there and calls her Mother, the woman hugs her and says I missed you a lot, where were you? Shehnaz says I am fine and fire of revenge kept me safe, the woman says I know your capacity, but I am afraid what if somebody knows about your secret? Shehnaz says I am very protective and my plan is been executed rightly, I am with Queen Jodha who is most close to Jalal, I pretended to be mad because the Mughals don’t hurt mad people, I was in Mathura and I met Jodha there.
FB scene shows Jodha praying and saying that I will not go Agra, FB ends.
Shehnaz says I came to know that Jodha is very key to Jalal. I became friend with her and we went to Agra, I met Jalal there who is my biggest enemy, I thought to kill him, but I need an opportunity, I will punish them all, those who are with Jalal when this incident happened with me! The woman says be careful, Shehnaz says don’t be tensed for me, I will take my revenge on Jalal, I am out for it and till then, even if angels take my life, I will still kill Jalal and will get the throne!
Ruqaiya is puffing hookah (Shisha) that Hoshiyar is making for her, she ask him to do it fast! Hoshiyar says is it important to drink hookah? I mean it is harmful for you and your child? Ruqaiya says if you came back to me, that doesn’t mean I can’t throw you out, I will throw you out of the Palace, make another hookah for me! He leaves.
Jalal comes there, Ruqaiya stops drinking, Jalal smells it and says to Ruqaiya that you know that hookah is prohibited to you, then why were you drinking it? It’s harmful for you and your child, Ruqaiya says I… Jalal says I accept your everything, but I will not tolerate that you compromise on our child.
Hoshiyar comes and says Ruqaiya’s second hookah is ready, Jalal shouts that you are serving her and you don’t know that hookah is poison for her??? If I get to know that Ruqaiya drank hookah, then I will punish you instead of Ruqaiya, so take all hookahs from here now!! Ruqaiya says I am sorry Jalal, but I am habituated to it, Jalal says I accept your habit, but you have to take care of my child, take it as my order or request, but you will not drink hookah for Mughal heir!
Ruqaiya says I promise I will not touch hookah from now on.
