Jalal comes out of his tent, he finds Soldiers sitting and having drink. He ask them to give him drink too, one Soldier says but this is ordinary wine, you will not like it, Jalal says you fought with me so can’t I have drink with you? He drinks it and likes it, he says are you all excited to go back home? One Soldier says when I came in war, my wife was expecting, now my baby would have been born, I can’t wait to go back, Jalal congratulate him, Jalal says just go and hug her, you don’t know how much difficulties our family bear behind us, he ask them to enjoy the night, he misses Jodha.
On the other side, Jodha prays that Jalal comes back soon.
Jalal ask the Soldiers to go and sleep, we will have to leave for Agra tomorrow, he thanks them for the drink and goes into the Tent.
Jodha in the Palace, says Jalal come back soon, only you can show me the way.
Jalal in his Tent, brings out Jodha’s letter and kisses it, he says I can’t read it, but I feel your fragrance in it, he recalls how Salim said that I LOVE YOU is written in it, he says I won this war because of you Jodha, your strength made me win this war of belief.
On the other side, Jodha says I lost this war, I couldn’t stand on your promise, I can’t bear this anymore, I am going to do what you will never like.
Jalal is all smiling waiting to meet Jodha. Other side, Jodha is sadly waiting for Jalal. Meri dhadkan dhadkan tum ho… Tum Ho Zindagani plays…
Fazal and Rahim comes to Jalal. Jalal ask till when will we reach Agra? Fazal says it will take 25 days, Rahim says but there is one shortcut to go, but there is a problem in it, a man comes and says there is shortcut, but it’s jungle, this Jungle is called evil Jungle, years back, a King entered that Jungle with his Soldiers and never came out of that Jungle, so people are afraid of that Jungle and don’t go into that Jungle, people say that the Jungle is dangerous. Jalal says I don’t believe all this, I am the King and I can’t get afraid, he says me and all Soldiers are waiting to meet their families, I only believe in one God, there are no such things, so I will go only from that Jungle.
Rahim ask Jalal what you think? Jalal says I will go from that Jungle, but with less Soldiers, you all come from the other way.
Jalal and somes Soldiers enter the Jungle. One Soldier says that darkness is increasing, as it’s a bushy Jungle, Sunlight doesn’t enter here and it’s cold too here.
Jalal is leading his Soldiers, the weather starts changing, heavy winds start blowing, horses stops moving.
Jodha comes to Hamida’s room, a Servant says Hamida has ordered to not allow you in her room, Jodha says you can’t stop me, she comes to Hamida and says I know you are angry with me, don’t talk to me, don’t look at me, but don’t give pain to yourself, Hamida ask her to go! Jodha says I will go away, I will do as you say, but eat something, Hamida says do what you want, I have no problem, but let me live as I want! Jodha says okay, you don’t want to eat from my hands, then don’t, but eat from Salima’s hand.
Hamida says I know you are stubborn, but you don’t know that I am stubborn too, I will not eat at any cost! Jodha says not for me, eat for your Sons; Jalal, Salim Murad, I promise you I will do as you say, I promise you that, Gul badan smiles.
Salima makes her eat Apple, Hamida finally eats, all smile.
Jalal and his Soldiers are riding horses in the Jungle.
Hamida says to Jodha that till you don’t follow your words, and till this war doesn’t stop, don’t enter my room! Jodha says to Hamida okay, I promise you until I finish your work, I will not show you my face. She greets her and leaves.
Jodha looks at her and Jalal’s picture and says I promised you to not change religion, but I also promised you to take care of Hamida, now if I don’t change my religion, then Hamida’s health will be worse, I have to break one promise, she says you will forgive me for breaking this promise, but if anything happens to Hamida because of me, then I won’t be able to forgive myself, so I have to take this decision, I have to change my religion.
Jodha comes to the garden of the Palace to walk, she finds Zil Bahar offering prayers, she smiles, Zil Bahar completes her prayers and finds Jodha there, she says I was going to meet Anarkali and the prayer time happend, so I started the prayer here. Zil Bahar says to Jodha that I am sorry if I disturb you, Jodha says you were praying, it can’t disturb anyone, she ask you offer prayers? Zil Bahar says yes, I am praying for the Mughal Soldiers in war, she ask what is the news of the war? Jodha says no news came till now, Zil Bahar says don’t worry, everything will be fine, Jodha says i hope so too, Zil Bahar leaves.
Jodha thinks that yes, everything will be fine soon as I will accept islam.
In the Jungle Fazal and the Soldiers are looking for Jalal, they say don’t know where he is, Jalal comes there on his horse, Fazal says thank God you came, I thought something happened, Jalal says what you thought, that I got some ghost in the Jungle? This Jungle is bushy, which must be why people are afraid of here.
In Agra, Jodha comes to Hamida’s room and finds her sleeping, she folds her hand in front her and she’s about to leave, Salima comes there, Jodha says I came to see her, how is she now? Salima says her health is not good, she ask Jodha are you going somewhere? Jodha says going to the Temple to pray for Hamida, Salima says maybe your prayer will work, Jodha is about to leave, Salima congratulates her about Navrose day, Jodha says you too, Salima says I pray that everything becomes fine, Jodha thinks that I will set everything right.
Voiceover says that Jalal was coming back to Agra, otherside, Jodha who didn’t know it, was going to change her religion.
Jodha wears same Muslim style dress and goes to the Mosque to change her religion.
Jodha comes to the Mosque, Sufi songs are playing there. Jodha comes into the Mosque and recalls how she came there with Jalal, Jodha prays;
Allah, I have come to you, take me under your guidance, make Hamida fine.
Jodha ask a Servant to call the Priest, she thinks I have to do this for my Mother, for my Son, my Nation, I have to do this. The Priest comes there and says you have to wait for a while, let good time start, then we will start the rituals, Jodha says okay.
Jalal with his Soldiers reaches the same Mosque, he washes his face and leaves from there.
Jodha says to the Priest that I am ready to change my religion, let’s start the ritual. The Priest says okay, he ask Jodha have you willingly come here? Jodha says yes, he ask did someone force you? Jodha says no, it’s my decision, the Priest says earlier, you didn’t accept Islam, I want your guarantee, she says yes, he says Islam have Five Basic Pillars;
First is Kalma which means that God is one and Muhammad is his last Prophet, Second is Namaz, Third is fasting, Fourth is Zakat (Charity), Fifth is that you have to offer pilgrimage if you have money, he ask are to repeat all this and accept Islam.
Jalal’s horse stops moving, he says maybe God wants me to stop there, he says I will offer Namaz (Prayer) in that Mosque, I want to thank God for making me win this War.
Jodha start reciting Kalma reluctantly. Jalal has come there too, he’s on the otherside, Jodha doesn’t say the full Kalma. The Priest says you have to recite the whole Kalma to accept Islam, but she doesn’t.
Other side, one Priest comes to Jalal, Jalal ask what is going on, on the otherside? The Priest says one lady is accepting Islam, Jalal ask if she is forced? He says no, he ask Jalal to congratulate her, Jalal says if she’s coming into Islam on her own free will, then it’s good, I will tell her she is safe in the Mughal Saltanate.
Jodha is still mustering up courage to say the whole Kalma, Jalal comes there and says congrats, he is shocked to see it’s Jodha.
Jalal comes to congratulate the girl, he is shocked to see it’s Jodha, he comes to her and says what were you going to do? He ask the Priests to stop all this! The Priest says we didn’t know she was being pressurized, he ask all to go out, all leaves.
Jalal curtly looks at her and says you promised me that you will not change religion, then why are you doing this? Jodha says I was helpless, Jalal says that’s what I am telling you, it’s a sin to accept Islam because of helplessness, why were you doing this? Jodha says what else can I do? There was no news about you? Jalal says I wanted to surprise you that I won the war, I tried to make you understand a lot that there is no need for all this, I did war for the freedom of my nation, it has nothing to do with you being Rajvanshi, Jodha says I thought it will settle down things.
Jalal says you have done wrong, you were in pressure to accept Islam, you have committed a crime, you have insulted me, my religion, my order, my promise! He is hurt with her and leaves from there, Jodha is sad.
One Servant strikes with Hoshiyar in the Palace, he ask where are you going? She says there is one news for Hamida, he ask what is it? She tells him, he ask her to get lost now!
Hamida says no such news comes which make me happy, there is no news of Jalal and Sons, Ruqaiya says I sent Soldiers to find out about Jalal, but they didn’t come back.
Hoshiyar comes and says there is one good news, Jalal is coming back to Agra soon, Hamida and all get happy, Hamida ask if everyone is fine? Hoshiyar says they all are fine and they have won the war too, Hamida says God is great, she says we have to welcome them grandly. Ruqaiya says we will do that, it’s such a good news, she says to Hoshiyar, I will give you costly gift for this breaking news.
Jalal with his army comes back to Agra Palace. Ruqaiya, Hamida and all smile seeing him. Birbal and Todar congratulates him, the palanquin comes into the Palace too, Jodha comes out of it.
Ruqaiya says what is Jodha doing with Jalal and that too, in this muslim outfit? Salima says she said she was going to the Temple, but wasn’t wearing this dress, Ruqaiya thinks something is wrong.
Jalal says Murad, Daniyal and Salim will come after checking the stability in Iran, he goes to meet Hamida.
Jalal comes to the Haram, all wives give him rose and congratulate him, he hugs Salima and Ruqaiya, he looks at Hamida, sit beside her, she congratulates him for winning, he kisses her hand, Jalal says I got worried, as I got to know about your health, he ask Ruqaiya why didn’t you send letter to me about her ill health? Hamida says I asked them to not disturb you in war.
Salima says now at least, she will eat something, Jalal says what? Salima says Hamida was so stubborn that she will not eat, not until you come back. Jalal makes her eat, Hamida says every matter ends here as you have returned, she ask where are my Grandsons? Jalal says they have gone to different cities which we have won and will apply new rules there, they are walking like brother hand in hand now. He makes her eat.
Jodha comes there and greets Hamida, Salima ask Jodha that you went to the Temple, then how come you are in this dress and how you came with Jalal?
Jalal ask Jodha to answer her, tell her how you returned with me, did you bring Sweet offering from the Temple?? Jodha is silent and looks at Jalal. Jalal says she didn’t go to the Temple, all looks on.
Jalal says to Hamida that she went to the Mosque to change her religion, to accept Islam, all are stunned, Jalal says good thing was I came there and stopped her, she went against her husband, her heart, she went against her promise, I don’t know why she did this, I will not blame anyone else for this, as she didn’t give importance to my promise, then how can she listen to others?? She has made me feel ashamed, the reason for which I did this war, she spoiled that reason! He curtly looks at her and says I am tired, he leaves, Hamida is sad.
