Tuesday Update on Jodha & Akbar, 22nd June, 2021     

Jodha holds Kahna’s idol and comes outside, Jalal sees her and says so you are leaving to Amer finally? Jodha says no, my family will not accept me like this, and I am not leaving my in-laws but somebody asked me to change my room which is why I’m taking it elsewhere. Jalal ask who?

Jodha says if you want me to go from this place, then I have no issues, Jalal ask when did I say so? She says you want this room to be given to Benazir, so I have no problem with it, but it’s only about the oil lamps I’m worried about, it’s not good to remove oil lamps like this, but it’s okay. She is about to leave.

Jalal holds Jodha and says come with me, he takes her to his room and ask what is this Ruqaiya? Ruqaiya says that now that you are going to marry a new wife, so I thought to give a room to Benazir very close to yours.  Jalal says you don’t need to think about me.

Maham comes and says Ruqaiya is in charge of giving rooms to all Queens and you gave her this responsibility, Jalal says yes, but I gave a promise to Jodha that I will keep her religion intact and her temple is here. Maham says but it’s Ruqaiya’s power to give rooms to anyone.

Jalal says okay, I am taking this and Ruqaiya doesn’t have the power to change it, He says I am giving this my room to Jodha and nobody can object now. He takes the oil lamps and places it in the temple. Ruqaiya says you are insulting me Jalal, Jalal says I am doing what’s right, he says your position is way much than Jodha’s and today, by doing this, you are putting yourself down.

Jalal says to Jodha that it’s your room as from toda, and Ii will not put my foot inside here, I will never look at you, even if you are dying, I still won’t look. Jodha is pained, he leaves. Jodha puts Kahna back in the temple.

Moti says to Jodha that though you got your room back, but you must be feeling bad as you will not get Jalal’s love, as he will never come here now, Jodha is in thoughts.

Ruqaiya shouts at Maham Anga and says Jalal was right, my position is way more then anyone and I shouldn’t have listened to you, you put me down in Jalal’s eyes, what I was doing was wrong.

In the hall, all are present for the henna ceremony, Benazir comes to Jodha and says you tried everything, but sorry, look Jalal gave me a jewelry box. Jodha thinks what box is she talking about?

The Ceremony starts and Maham says to Benazir that we will do your henna ceremony like your own family. Ruqaiya and Maham showers her with gifts, Benazir says to Ruqaiya that although I will be a Queen, but i will always bow down to you and will always listen to what you say, I will worship you.

Ruqaiya says you also know what a Queen should do, but some Queens doesn’t know, she looks at Jodha and goes to Salima who is standing beside Jodha, she says a Servant also knows whom to respect and whom to listen to in the Women Quarters, but some people think that they will get the place in Jalal’s heart but they don’t know he doesnt have a heart.

Ruqaiya says it’s important to share a good rapport with me to be in this women Quarter because many Queens comes and goes, but the only thing that remains is my friendship with Jalal, so all Queens should listen to me.

Hamaida says 7 Queens will do Benazir’Jodha emony, she includes Jodha too. All Queens touches the henna which will be applied on Benazir, but Jodha doesn’t do so.

Maham says it’s Hamida’s order to come and follow it, Jodha touches the henna paste and angrily eyes Benazir. All 7 Queens applies henna tattoo on Benazir. Moti ask Jodha to apply tilak on Bnazir, Jodha very angrily looks at her and falls on her, her henna tattoo on her hands gets spoiled.

Moti says to Jodha that the henna tattoo got on your hands, Maham says it’s not a good omen that it got spoiled. Ruqaiya says don’t worry, we will do this ritual again.

All the Queens applies the henna paste on Benazir’s hand, Jodha too applies it, but in angry mood, Salima too unwillingly applies it.

All gifts Benazir, Jodha gives a painting of Krishnaji and says I hope God do good, all l sees the painting in which Krishna is standing on a snake. Jodha says this painting is about win over evil, there was one deadly snake who poisoned the whole lake and lord in playful manner killed him, I thought this is the best to be given to you at this moment.

Benazir is tensed and thinks that this painting will remain here and you will not be able to save Jalal. Jodha thinks Krishnaji saved his people likewise, Jalal will be saved by God.

Jiji Anga tells that I called a Parrot who predicts the future. First turn is of RUQAIYA, the message says that;

She will spend most time with Jalal. 

It’s SALIMA’S turn, it says that;

She will remain the loved Queen of all. 

Ruqaiya ask about BENAZIR’S future. The Parrot takes out the envelope to find out about the new Queen, Benazir’s future, all wait in anticipation, the women reads that;

She will spend very much less time with Jalal.  

Jodha smiles, Benazir is stunned… Benazir thinks it’s right as Jalal will be killed soon.

Maham says since Jalal will spend most time with Ruqaiya, so Benazir will get less time, she ask to tell about JODHA, the massage reads that;

Jodha will always protect Jalal from every evil eyes. 

Ruqaiya fumes. Jodha gives a look to Benazir who think that you will save him from evil eye, but not from my poison. Jodha thinks i will save jalal from you at any cost!!

Abul Mali is being beaten badly, he craves for water. Atgah says until you blurt out the name of your companions and agents here, you will be beaten like this. He asks the soldiers to beat him. After they leave, Abul Mali laughs.

Hamida comes to Jalal who is in thoughts, Hamida ask what are you thinking? Jalal says I was thinking that millions of people pray for me, when I pass by the Women Quarters, all the Queens pray for me, but even then, I still feel alone whenever I stand at this window.

Hamida says when you sit on the throne which is above all, then you can’t l find a person whom you can trust blindly, you can’t find one on whom you can place your head in her lap, with whom you can sleep with without any fear, no one is there with whom you can talk to. Jalal says you are there,

Hamida ask till when? Hamida says you will get another Queen tomorrow, l pray you get a Wife who loves you and care for you not because you are a King, but her husband, who only thinks about your happiness, whose heart beats for only you and she makes your heart beat. Jalal smiles and says l don’t have a heart, so this will not happen.

Hamida says you never got a one that can make your heart beat or perhaps, you didn’t recognize her, but she will find your heart, she will stand with you here, and that day, your loneliness will go away, she leaves.

Jodha is shown who says that there’s no time left, tomorrow, and Jalal will marry her, please tell me some way.

Jalal’s soul says how weird that that moment you were standing on your own balcony and me on mine, and we were only thinking about each other, we were restless. 

Jodha’s soul says we both were looking at the sky, it is said that after death, we become a star, we were visible in that stars, we were not together, but we could feel each other’s presence, everything was about to change. Jalal says yes. Jodha says it was the last night of my loneliness, it was a long night, the night before the storm, as that storm changed everything.

Voiceover says that some were thinking life would changed tomorrow and some were thinking that night never ends.

All the Queens gossips that this new Servant became a Queen and we are still alone,

Ruqaiya says Jalal is making her Queen on my wish so she will always follow my order. Maham Anga says this is what I wanted, the win over Jodha, but we shouldn’t forget that someone attacked Jalal, Ruqaiya says we need to be alert until this marriage happens.

Adham says to his soldiers that before the Nikah, Benazir will kill Jalal, then we have to do our work, first you kill Abul Mali, then I will kill Benazir myself and tomorrow, I will become the King, they ask about Shariffuden, Adham says he should remain in jail.

In jail, Shariffuden gets to know that Benazir will kill Jalal before marriage, he says Abul Mali will get the throne and I am stuck here, but I will not let that happen, he ask his Servant to inform Jodha that I want to meet her.

Jodha comes to the jail, Shariffuden says you didn’t believe me which is why you didn’t do anything, Jodha says I wasn’t sitting idly, I tried but Benazir proved herself innocent, what should I do? Shariffuden says my news is confirmed that Benazir is going to kill Jalal before marriage, then Abul Mali will get the throne and Benazir will marry Abul Mali not Jalal. jodha is shocked, Shariffuden says if I was out, then I could have done something but now, you have to do something else, you will regret it all your life

Jodha says to Moti that Shariffuden told me that Benazir has planned to kill Jalal before marriage, Moti says what will you do without any proof? Jodha says I don’t have a proof and Jalal is trapped in Benazir’s net, but I will stay awake all through the night, as this night is dangerous for Jalal.

Zakira informs Benazir that the box has again came into our room, Benazir says Jodha must’ve not understood what’s inside it and she placed it back, so that I wouldn’t complain to Jalal. We should concentrate on our mission.

Jodha is praying to Kahna and Jalal is offering namaz. Jodha says do make Jalal save, keep my husband safe, it’s up to you now, Jalal prays to keep me blessed.

Maham comes to Benazir and ask are you ready? She nods. All gathers in the hall for Nikah, Benazir comes in red dress. Jodha thinks you weren’t able to do anything before and today also, I will not let anything happen!

Ruqaiya says to Benazir that you are looking beautiful. Jalal comes dressed as a groom, he looks at Jodha. Adham Khan is waiting for time to come and remembers how he orders to finish Atgah Khan after Jalal is killed… Maham thinks after the Nikah, Jodha will be out of here, Adham thinks tomorrow, I will be King!

The Priest announces that it’s time for face revealing ceremony, Benazir comes and looks in the water, Jalal comes to look at her face in the water, he sees Jodha’s face in the water who is standing behind Benazir and he’s stunned. He remembers how he had seen her face in the water at ganghaur time.

Benazir thinks to end the game soon! The Priest says now, they will eat sweet dish. Maham taste it first, then it’s being given to Benazir. She looks at Jalal and drinks sivayan. The Priest says now, she will make Jalal eat it, Jodha is shocked and remembers how she had seen her licking snake and Shariffudden’s words. Jalal is about eat it, but Jodha comes and stops him, he is angry and ask what is this, I will not forgive you for this!!

Jodha says I don’t need it, there is poison in this, Jalal says stop it! Jodha says you never believed me but today, I will prove it, she takes the bowl and says you said you will not see my face even if I am dying, that’s okay, but I can’t see my husband dying in front of me, I am going away from you, after this, my eyes will be closed for ever. She remembers her marriage with Jalal and thinks from you there is my identity, I am bound to you for seven lives and I am your Wife. she gulps down the Sivanyan and feels dizzy, she is about to fall, but Jalal holds her. Zakira panics.

Jalal is shocked, while Jodha is in his arms, she looks at Jalal and remembers how he put vermilion and wedding necklace around her neck, how he uncovered her face after their sword fight, how they saved the oil lamp from blowing together. Jodha says I have no regret, I fulfilled my responsibility, Jalal shouts to Hakim to take her. He shouts at Benazir CHARACTERLESS!!

Benazir grabs Ruqaiya and says if you try to catch me, I will kill her! Ruqaiya says I will not leave you, you came to kill my husband!!  Benazir says so you thought that I will become your Servant, you were involved in putting Jodha down, but she got to know my real identity that I am a poisonous woman, I got many chances, but Jodha always stood between you and me and toda, she will be dead, she was a fool to save a husband who never knew her worth, never gave her respect, and Ruqaiya and Maham Anga are fools that they gave me way to you!
