Tuesday Update on Jodha & Akbar, 16th November, 2021

Salim says to Bhagwan that I am sorry I couldn’t meet you, he says I got to know that my marriage is fixed with Mann Baisa, he says to Jalal that I agree to your decision, all are surprised, Ruqaiya thinks how did this happened?

Salim gets flashback of how Anarkali asked Salim to marry Mann Baisa, she says we don’t have any other way, if you marry Mann Baisa, then Jalal will be happy, Salim says I love you, Anarkali says I know which is why I am asking this from you, Salim says okay, your wish is my command, I will marry her, but I have one condition too, that you will not go anywhere, you will live here, you have to promise me that you will keep meeting me after marriage too, Anarkali says okay, I agree, FB ends. Ruqaiya congratulate everyone.

Jalal says to Rahim and Maan Singh that the marriage will be great, announce in the City that nobody will cook in home for 7 days, they will eat only royal food.

Salim is in his room, Jodha comes and ask what you did? You love Anarkali and she loves you too, I went to meet her and I realized that she loves you a lot, she has no dreams of the Throne and Crown, then how can you do it? Salim says everyone is not Anarkali, I have done this for Jalal’s respect and for the royal family, Jodha says I don’t believe this, you always fulfill what you desire, then how can you agree for this marriage now?

Salim says aren’t you happy that I am marrying your Niece? I am fulfilling Jalal’s promise, you wanted just this right? Jodha says I wanted it and I am happy, but I want to ask what you paid for this decision? Salim says for Jalal’s happiness, no amount of payment is big, I did what Jalal wanted, if this is a deal, then let it be, he leaves, Jodha says deal?

Jodha is getting ready in her room, Jalal comes there and thanks her, he says I am very happy, I knew you would make your Son agree, if you can make me agree for anything, then he is my Son, you have done huge work, he wouldn’t listen to me, but you made him agree, did you see everyone is so happy, now you will see how grand this marriage will be, history will remember it, you should be happy now that your Parental house and in-laws house are tied again.

Jodha says what about Anarkali? you ordered her to leave Agra, Jalal says since Salim agreed for the marriage, then I will call her back to the City, I have nothing against that girl, it’s just that she is a Dancer and I will not make her the daughter-in-law of this house, I am happy that Salim has agreed for it, it’s a very good decision, Jodha says sometimes, Parents feel that with their decision, their Children will be happy but the opposite happens and they are pained, to be honest, I have not pacified Salim for this marriage, I don’t know who made him agree, I am happy that there will be no fights, but I feel he’s deeply hurt.

Jalal says when you are a King, you have to take harsh decisions keeping your feelings aside, Jodha says what if you have to choose between your duties and me? Will you leave me? Jalal says what are you saying? I love you a lot, you are my life, I can never leave you, he hugs her, Jodha thinks then why don’t you understand that Anarkali is the life of Salim?

Ruqaiya is angry about how Salim agreed for this marriage, he went to meet Anarkali, but how, he agreed to Mann Baisa? I thought there will be drama in the function, but nothing happened, I have to do something, she ask Hoshiyar to find if Anarkali is in Agra or not! He leaves. Ruqaiya laughs and says so what if my one plan failed? I have many tricks to play!

Jodha finds some noise, she goes to find Anarkali passionately dancing, she falls on the floor and breaks down in tears, Jodha says Anarkali? Anarkali wipes her tears and greets her, Jodha says I am happy to see you back, Anarkali says when Jalal asked me to leave, I accepted to leave, he asked to stay back, so I stayed back, Jodha says I can see pain in you and Salim’s eyes, I don’t know why Salim agreed to marry Mann Baisa, I am happy about it, but as a Mother, I am worried for Salim.

Anarkali says what happened is nice, Salim will be happy with Mann Baisa, all are happy, I am happy too that my friend Mann Baisa is getting married, she deserves to be Salim’s Wife, she deserves to be Queen and I am dancing in happiness, Jodha says don’t pretend in front of me, I know what you and Salim sacrificed for the goodness of the Saltanate, it’s not easy to go away from your love, I am proud of you child, Anarkali hugs her and cries.

Jalal stops Salim, Salim greets him, Jalal says I am happy with your decision, it’s good that you left your childish wish, I want to tell you that sometimes, we have to take decision as we are royal people, we have to think about people, our respect and dignity, Salim says you are right, after you, I will be King.

Jodha comes and gives them aarti, Salim leaves, Jodha ask Jalal what you were saying to him? Jalal says I was telling him that after marriage, he should be careful of his Wife, Jodha makes face and leaves.

The Dance Bar Manager comes to Ruqaiya, Ruqaiya says you have to do my work, I have heard that Anarkali has returned, she says yes, Ruqaiya says there’s going to be a celebration in the Palace, I want you to send Anarkali here for the dance. The Manager says but Jalal…? Ruqaiya ask her to do what she says! The Manager says okay and leaves, Ruqaiya says I am best at putting fires in the hearts and taking advantage of it.

Jalal says to Bhagwan that soon, your daughter will be ours, Bhagwan says yes, I am waiting for that day, Salim is there too.

The function starts, the Dancer comes there, Salim, Jalal and Jodha are stunned to see Anarkali there, she has ghungroos (Musical Anklet) in her feet, Salim is hurt seeing her, Anarkali starts her dance, Ruqaiya throws a sharp pebble on the dance floor just to test of the spark is still between Salim and Anarkali. Anarkali steps on the pebble and her feet starts bleeding, as she continues her dance. Salim can’t take it anymore, Salim shouts Anarkali?? He goes to her, she falls in his arms, all are shocked, Jalal is angry, Salim makes Anarkali sit and ask to call the Doctor!

Mann Baisa comes there and ask Anarkali are you fine? She says yes, Anar says thanks prince for giving me respect, Daniyal thinks what fate is this? Mann Baisa loves a person who loves a Dancer and the one who (Daniyal) loves Mann Baisa can’t say it?

Jalal gets up, he looks at Salim and says Dancer is a part of the nation and seeing her pain, the Crown Prince came to help her, very well Salim, all praise Salim.

Bhagwan says Salim, you have a great heart, you will be a good King, Salim says Jalal is responsible for this, he has made me learn that the one who has Crown on his head should have care for his nation in his heart! Ruqaiya thinks this means, the love fire is still in their hearts.

At night, Jalal comes to Jodha and says I know you are thinking about Salim, Jodha says Salim did that for humanity, anyone would do that, Jalal says I know that, Jalal acts like he is hurt on his feet, Jodha runs to him and ask what happened? Jalal says nothing, I just wanted to see your care for me, I was seeing when my little wince (of being in pain) made you worried, then Salim would have felt bad, as that Dancer got hurt, what Salim did was not humanity, there was people there who had more humanity than Salim like you, Hamida and Salima, Salim went to her because of love, he couldn’t see her like that, I know they love each other and pain is acceptable in love, but unfortunately, they are not seeing the consequences of this, I will make Salim understand! He leaves.

Jodha says why is Jalal not understanding that Man never forget his first love, Salim said yes for marriage, but will he be able to forget Anarkali? Will he able to love Mann Baisa?

Salim goes to meet Anarkali, she is lying on the bed, Salim comes to her, she says you here? Why don’t you undertand? She tries to put her feet on the floor, Salim puts hand under her feet and says your feet has wound, don’t put them on the floor, Anarkali gets emotional and ask why did you come here? Salim says how can I not come here? You are in pain and you want me to sleep peacefully? I can let go of my life, but not my love, he caresses her face and kisses her forehead.

Daniyal sees this and thinks that this is betrayal to Mann Baisa and I won’t let this happen!

Salim hugs Anarkali, Anarkali says it’s very late, you should go and don’t come again, Salim says you are forgetting that you promised me that you won’t say no to meet me even after marriage? I have heavy heart and I come to you to get peace, I wanted see you as my Wife, but someone else has taken that place, I can’t take it, Anarkali says this is our fate and we have to accept it.

Ruqaiya is laughing and says I very well know how to lit fire, be it fire of love or of pain! A Servant comes and says Jalal has called you, Ruqaiya gets tensed.

Ruqaiya comes to Jalal, she ask you called me? Jalal says I thought to play chess with you, Ruqaiya says why not? They start playing chess, Jalal says you played good trick, you made me stunned even in function by calling that Dancer, Ruqaiya says I know you like Anarkali’s dancing skills which is why I called her.

Jalal says you know that no Dancer can come without my permission, even after knowing what is happening between her and Salim, even after knowing that the function was for Salim’s marriage, why did you call her?? You played good trick, but don’t forget I am not a weak Player in politics and when you are against me, then don’t think I am a fool, never make Anarkali come in front of Salim again! I want you to be involved in the marriage preparation, and nothing more than that!

Ruqaiya says I didn’t want to hurt you, Jalal says how dare you play this game with me???

Jalal and Jodha are walking, Jodha says Mann Baisa will be good wife and good daughter-in-law, Jalal says I forced Salim for this marriage because I see your shadow in Mann Baisa and she will be good Wife to Salim, Jodha says even I am satisfied that everything is fine between you and Salim, Jalal says I am happy too.

Jodha finds someone standing in the dark at the terrace, she says to Jalal that there was someone there, I felt like someone was spying on us, Jalal calls the Soldiers and ask to check if someone is present there, Jalal ask Jodha to not worry, my Soldiers will find him.

The Soldiers comes and says there is no one there, Jalal says to Jodha that it must be your doubt because of the darkness, Jodha says maybe, Jalal takes Jodha aside and says you were right there is someone on the terrace, I don’t want to show that we know about his presence, keep talking normally, Jalal says the weather is nice, we should go on the terrace, they come on the terrace.

Someone is coming from behind with sword in his hands, Jalal turns and grabs his hands and says you will not be saved today! The person greets Jodha, Jodha says you? Jalal ask Jodha that you know him? Jodha says he is Madhav Singh, Mann Baisa’s brother and my nephew.

The Soldiers comes to arrest him, Jalal ask them to go, Jalal says I didn’t recognize him, as I didn’t see him before, Jodha ask Madhav is this the way to come? Madhav says I just came right now, so I thought to surprise you, he says sorry to Jalal, Jalal says no problem, but be careful, you were playing with King Jalal, don’t do it again, he ask the Soldiers to take him to the guest room, he leaves with Jodha.

Madhav thinks that I am not Maan Singh who is your shadow, I am the shadow of your death who will be around you now!

Ruqaiya is feeling jittery, she eats opium, she says you always loved Jodha, even after all this, you are away from me Jalal, you are my life line, I was in Agra for so many years because of you, I tried to change myself for you, but you loved Jodha Why?? Am I not beautiful? Am I not good? What’s in Jodha which I don’t have? She cries.

Salim and Anarkali are in the room, Mann Baisa comes and sees Salim holding Anarkali’s feet, Anarkali sees her and says to Salim that it’s enough, why are you caring for me so much? I understand you are doing this, as I am Mann Baisa’s friend, but in the end, I am just a Servant, Mann Baisa smiles listening to this.

Mann Baisa comes in, Salim is stunned seeing her, Mann Baisa ask Anarkali are you fine? Anarkali says yes, she ask to make Salim pacify that I am fine, Mann Baisa says he is doing what I should do, I am sorry that I am coming late, she thanks Salim for taking care of her friend, Salim says how can I not care for her? She is close to my heart, Mann Baisa is stunned, he says I mean she is close to you, so she is close to me too in that way, Mann Baisa smiles shyly, he says if I don’t care for her, then you will be miffed with me, Mann Baisa says no, I will never be miffed with you, he says you both talk, I will leave, he leaves.

Mann Baisa says I am very lucky to marry Salim, the one who cares for my friend so much, must have so much love for me, Anarkali says you are right, the lucky one gets a life partner like him, I am happy for you.

Shahabuddin is in jail, Murad comes to meet him, Shahabuddin is happy to see him, he says I knew you would come to save me, Murad says be silent, if anyone sees me, then it will be a problem, Shahabuddin says I can’t bear to be here, I am afraid what if I tell someone about you?

Murad says you will not do anything like that, Shahabuddin says I didn’t tell anyone till now, but pain has a limit, my tongue can slip, Murad gets angry and says I have planned for you already, he gives both the duplicate key of the cell and dagger to him, he ask him to run away frim the cell tomorrow night and meet him near the lake, he leaves, Shahabuddin is happy.

Jodha says to Jalal that Mann Baisa will be happy to see Madhav here, you know Madhav was always against the Mughals and Rajvanshi relationship at the time of our marriage, he was very small, but taunted my father a lot, I am happy he has accepted it now, Jalal says it’s fine to have disagreement, many Rajvanshies still don’t like me, he has come here leaving his disagreement aside, it’s good, but if he try to taunt here, then I won’t bear it, Jodha says he will not do anything like it, if he has hatred, then he would have not come here, he loves Mann Baisa a lot.

Madhav says to himself that I love only my thought, I have come here to kill Salim and Jalal, in the Marriage Temple, I will shed blood of Mughals so that no Mughal will dare to come near Rajvanshi women!

Jalal says to Jodha that it’s been many days since we came close, so I think today, we should come close, Jodha blushes.

Aram Bano comes there, Jodha says you were with Mann Baisa? Aram Bano says I am miffed with her, Jodha says what she did? Aram Bano says she said to me that I have to leave this house, I have to leave you and Jalal, this is my house then why whould I live? She said that I will marry and leave.

Jalal says don’t worry, you won’t go anywhere even after marriage, go to your room now, Aram Bano says I want to sleep with Jodha, Jalal is tensed, she lies on the bed, Jodha says I will make you sleep, Aram Bano says I want to listen to a story, Jalal is bewildered, he says you should sleep, listen to a story some other time, Aram Bano says will listen to a story at night.

Jalal ask the Servant to take her when she sleeps, but Aram bano says I am not going anywhere, are you sleepy? If you are sleepy, then sleep, Jodha smile, Aram Bano ask her to tell a story, Jodha says okay, she starts a story.

Jalal is waiting when Aram Bano will sleep, Aram sleeps, Jodha looks at Jalal who slept too, she comes to him, caresses him, Jalal holds her hand, kisses it, Jodha says you were sleeping? Jalal says you have woken me up, you make me wait a lot, now come to me, Jodha says Aram Bano will wake up.

Jalal and Jodha comes closer, Aram Bano wakes up and ask Jodha to tell her the remaining story, Jodha tells her the story, Jalal looks at her sadly, he sleeps, Jodha smiles.

It’s morning, Bhagwan says to Maan Singh that you are going for Jalal’s work, then who will do the rituals of brothers? Jodha comes there with Madhav and says the other brother is here, Bhagwan is shocked to see him and says you here? You were against this marriage, Madhav says I had to come for my Sister, Jodha says we should all celebrate the marriage with an open heart, she leaves, Madhav leaves too.

Bhagwan ask Maan Singh what you think? That Madhav is happy with this marriage? Maan Singh says I hope so, sometimes, Sister’s love change thoughts.

Hamida and Jodha comes to Mann Baisa and present her the auspicious henna, Hamida ask Mann Baisa’s Mother to apply henna on Mann Baosa, she says first, the mother-in-law should apply it.

Jodha sits, she finds Anarkali there, she says I can’t apply the henna, she looks at Anarkali.
