She succeeded in donning my aunt's face.
But she couldn't succeed in knowing my plan.
That is why, she didn't know that I don't like spicy food.
And I was reassured. Then it was time for justice.
To stop her from escaping from the palace...
...I ordered to tighten the security.
And today, I announced this gathering for tonight.
"Maham Anga!"
And after that, I went to aunt to inform her about this truth.
The poor woman couldn't believe that someone was...
...committing this crime by using her face and name.
"Oh God!"
"I can't believe it."
"Someone in the palace uses my face..."
"...and commits such a grave sin."
"You don't worry, aunt."
"Lie and crime can't last for long."
"I have found out the one who has committed this crime..."
"...and very soon that person will get the punishment."
Before I behead you, I want to know that why...
...you donned my aunt's face.
And why did you kill my unborn child?
Stop.
Your soldiers burnt down my house.
And my young son died in that fire.
That fire has died down but not the emotion of revenge...
...that is brewing within me.
And I came here to seek revenge.
I was waiting for your wife to get pregnant...
...so that I can make you feel what it is like to lose your child.
I came to know that your wife is pregnant...
...and I came to this palace.
Luck was on my side.
I look exactly like this mother of yours.
And I came here as her.
And I killed your heir.
Since you've killed my child, what was your motive to stay back?
To kill you!
You committed a crime by killing my child.
But the bigger crime was that...
...you disguised as my mother.
Take her away and kill her.
Disfigure her face with this very sword so badly...
...that she doesn't look like my aunt anymore before she dies.
Slit her throat and parade throughout the kingdom...
...so that no one dares to do so again.
Take her away!
I thank God that...
"Maham Anga!"
...He brought you out of this ordeal, pure and innocent.
Very well done, Jalal.
You have taken Moghul justice to new heights.
No, mother. Justice is yet to be made.
I had punished innocent Jodha and her brothers for this mistake.
I still regret that.
I am about to do what has never happened in any empire.
I apologize to Jodha Begum...
...and her brothers for my mistake.
And I hope they understand an emperor's responsibility...
...and the situation and forgive me for my mistake.
You are an emperor as well as our brother-in-law.
We can't bear to see you apologize to us.
"Maham Anga!"
What you did was your duty.
Today, not only have you done justice...
...but also set an example of the generosity of an emperor.
"Maham Anga!"
Your Majesty, glory to you.
The emperor of Hind, Jalaluddin Mohammad!
-Long live! -Long live!
The emperor of Hind, Jalaluddin Mohammad!
-Long live! -Long live!
The emperor of Hind, Jalaluddin Mohammad!
-Long live! -Long live!
Wow! Hats off to you.
There is no one who can match up to you...
...when it comes to life and politics.
Now, the emperor respects you even more.
Resham, that's enough.
Don't ever say anything about it again.
It is done and dusted.
Attention. The queen of India, Your Highness Hamida...
...and the emperor of India Jalaluddin Mohammad are entering.
Accept my salutations, O emperor.
Why did you take the trouble? You should've called me.
I would've been at your service.
You are embarrassing me even more by saying so, aunt.
God has saved me from getting ashamed.
He saved me from the disgrace of being labelled...
...as the murderer of my son's would-be child.
The truth is out now.
So what are you sorry about?
I am sorry, Jalal.
I am sorry as to why I couldn't figure out sooner...
...that someone is playing games in the palace...
...faking as me.
I am sorry that...
...I who had saved you from Kamran...
...couldn't save your child.
No, aunt. I am sorrowful that I have lost my child.
But I would've been distraught if I had lost you as well.
"Maham Anga!"
I am thankful to the Almighty Who stopped me from...
...making the same mistake that I made with Jodha, with you as well.
Mother, Agra has already been through enough grief.
Now, I don't want anyone to be sad.
Jalal is right, Maham.
Everyone knows all that you have done for Jalal.
A mother can never do enough for her son.
Whatever I did was for my son.
And I will continue to do whatever I need to...
....do for him till my last breath.
I am very fortunate that I got your guidance, aunt.
God bless.
Oh my God. You said in front of the emperor...
...you will do whatever it takes for your son Adham Khan...
...and he didn't come to know anything.
Superb!
"Maham Anga!"
You are the biggest imposter.
Lakhi just replaced you.
But you're an expert in changing your nature, too.
I doff my hat to you, Your Majesty.
"Maham Anga!"
What's in this?
It's sandalwood and turmeric paste.
In the past few days, you haven't taken care of your beauty.
This paste will bring that glow back on your face.
No, I don't feel like.
Then let me massage your head with jasmine oil.
Attention. The emperor of India, Jalaluddin Muhammad is entering.
I have some good news for you.
I know. You have made arrangements to send me to Amer.
Really. This is really good news.
I am very happy. Yes, I am.
Although as a divorcee, but I will at least go to Amer.
Because I have forgotten what happiness is like, over here.
Joy and pleasure are words I have forgotten the meaning of.
You have given me so much joy...
...that I don't experience happiness anymore.
I don't expect you to give me good news.
But I am certain that despite being a divorcee, my father...
...and family will accept me.
Do you know?
When a husband disowns his wife...
...and she goes back to her parents, her parents are distraught.
But still, they will try their level best to keep me happy.
We believe that a girl should breathe her last...
...at her husband's place.
But I will not be sad...
...if I die at the place where I was born.
As I will die there only once.
Here, I die every day.
I suffer every day.
My honour, pride, emotions and dignity...
...is undervalued every day.
I am very happy that I am going to Amer.
Since you are here, I'm sure, you have some order.
Tell me. Because I won't disrespect my duty...
...and your orders as long as I am here.
I won't do anything that brings shame to my father.
-That will... -Enough.
Enough.
You can't stop talking about Amer...
...ever since you have come here.
Jodha, don't forget that you are still in Agra.
How can I forget? Even if I want to...
...I'll not be able to forget every moment I've spent in Agra.
Why did you stop? You are angry, aren't you?
So vent out your anger on me.
I will be happy that I managed to please you...
...by helping you vent out your anger.
You are right. I am furious and I also want to say a lot.
But I won't.
Why hold a grudge against a guest?
"Maham Anga!"
Oh God! Here comes the bane of my life.
Hello, mother.
Hello, Javeda.
If you don't mind, shall I say something?
Tell me.
Mother, I felt really bad when the emperor...
...threw you on the floor.
The one Jalal threw on the floor wasn't me but my look alike.
But people understand what they see, right?
And everyone thinks that it was you.
Isn't it, Resham?
You think I'd dare not to concur with you.
By the way, Lakhi is quite daring. Just imagine.
What if she was successful in completing her mission?
I mean the entire Moghul empire would have been destroyed.
The emperor would have been dead.
And that imposter would've ruled.
You'd have been beheaded and she would live...
...with her head held high.
Javeda, nothing such has happened.
That Lakhi has been beheaded. Understand?
Come on. I am not talking about what has happened.
I am thinking about what could've happened.
Why are you wasting your time by doing something...
...that God hasn't given you the capability of, Javeda?
What did you say, mother? I didn't understand.
Don't think or understand. If you strain your brains...
...you will get a headache.
But how will she have headache since she has no brains?
OK, mother. Just imagine.
What if you had been beheaded and Lakhi...
...would've been relishing the sweet made by me instead of you?
I was about to leave but I wanted to say something before leaving.
Jodha gets into trouble unnecessarily every time, because of you.
By the way, with your permission, may I leave?
Yes, Javeda. You may leave. God bless.
If she wasn't Adham's wife, I would've got her beheaded...
...along with Lakhi.
Your Majesty, Javeda said something right.
Jodha would've been in trouble because of you.
I would've been in trouble, Resham.
If Jodha had not committed the foolish act of...
...suspecting me in front of everyone.
Anyways, her doubt would've been cleared by now, right?
I'll know that when I go and meet her.
"Maham Anga!"
Rahim.
You stole that box, didn't you?
Younger mother!
Rahim, you? Look, this is really bad.
Troubling your mother like this. Making her run after you...
...all the while is not right at all.
Younger mother, Maham Anga is looking for me and not mother.
Why her?
Rahim, what happened, son?
Why did you hide like that on seeing me?
I have come to talk to you.
I wanted to ask as to how you are.
I am fine.
Great. In a very short time,
you've grown so close to Jodha...
...that you forgot me.
Remember? I've narrated so many stories to you.
Do you remember the story of the emperor and the fairy?
I forgot.
"Maham Anga!"
This is the special thing about little kids.
They don't remember things for long.
Anyways, I want to thank you, Rahim.
It's good that you stole the box.
At least I could prove myself innocent.
Come on. Go out and play. Go.
"Maham Anga!"
Tell me. What brings you to my chamber?
I have come to congratulate you.
God bless Lakhi that she confessed to her crime...
...and both of us were saved.
You might have come to know that it wasn't me but my look alike.
Anyways, I came here to share this joy with you.
I thought why don't I make the sweet...
...that you were making that day in order to celebrate this joy.
What things had you put in it? Rose essence and what not!
I will put all that. Do taste it.
And do tell me.
"Isn't this how you had mixed the thorn apple extract..."
"...to the saffron that came from Amer?"
"Maham Anga!"
Wait, Maham Anga!
This means what you just said....
This means, it was you in the kitchen that day.
And not your look alike.
Shall I tell you something, Jodha?
There is no point in crying over spilt milk.
Let alone the entire world,
the emperor Jalaluddin Mohammad...
...himself has proved me innocent.
The culprit has been punished.
But why I do feel that you are still not convinced?
You still think that I had mixed the thorn apple extract...
...in Ruqaiya's saffron, isn't it?
How do I clear your doubt?
Let's do this. Let's go to the emperor once again.
And ask him.
As the emperor has become an expert in making decisions now.
And everything will be crystal clear.
Let's go.
"Maham Anga!"
Today, you've reminded me of my mother.
She would always say,
"Don't ever trust anything or anyone."
"Because no one in this world..."
"...is trustworthy except your own self."
I will take your leave now. Will see you soon.
There is a message from king Bharmal from Amer.
With your permission, may I read it?
Give me the message. I will read it.
What happened, Khangar Singh?
Brother, we'll have to return immediately.
What has happened? Is everything alright?
The rebels are wreaking havoc in Koh.
We'll have to return immediately to handle the situation.
We'll have to meet the emperor.
You can understand the gravity of the situation.
Father is alone there. We'll have to go.
As it is, the reason we came here is now over.
The culprit has been punished.
We hope that you won't have any objection if we return.
You should definitely go. If you need army, I can provide you.
You are my in-laws. Just as you have certain duties...
...towards me, I have towards you, too.
We thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty.
But we brothers can take care of them.
By the way, father has sent the army to combat the rebels.
But we must also go.
Alright. I'll make arrangements for your departure right away.
Won't you meet your sister before you leave?
We are dying to, but we have very little time.
We hope that Jodha will understand this.
Take care.
You brothers definitely don't need my help.
You showed how brave you are in the war of Sonpur.
I wanted to return to Amer with my brothers.
But the emperor didn't keep his word.
He says something and does something else.
This is not fair at all.
Pardon me, Your Highness. I made a mistake.
Pick up your sword. You are good.
My kingdom will be safe as long as I have soldiers like you.
I want to talk to you.
Leave.
This has become your habit, hasn't it, Jodha?
You always interfere when I am busy with something.
Isn't it?
It has become your habit to forget your promise.
On one hand, you say that you'll set me free and send me to Amer.
And on the other hand, you didn't let my brothers meet me...
...and you sent them to Amer.
Why are you a hypocrite?
Jodha, you often tell me I make my decisions...
...without listening to the entire matter. You're no different either.
I suggested that your brothers meet you before they left.
But they didn't have the time to meet you.
Your father had sent a message that rebels...
...are creating problems in your kingdom.
And they wished to leave as soon as they got the message.
And I couldn't say no to them.
And as far as...
And as far as sending you to Amer is concerned...
...I've made all the arrangements for that.
What arrangements have you made?
You'll know when the time comes, Jodha?
I feel caged here. I want to go from here.
Neither do I want to stop you.
The reason for this kindness?
You don't need to find a reason to tend to the wounded.
But I never asked you to apply medicine to it.
You don't need to say everything. It has to be understood.
Right now, you're not the emperor but a wounded man to me.
And to tend to the wounded is my duty.
Very good.
You hide your love and try to show you hate me.
I like that.
"Love is such a feeling."
-I have a wound here as well. -"Love is such an emotion."
I am wounded again.
"It can change the world."
Won't you do your duty?
"Love is such a feeling, such an emotion,"
"it can change the world and the circumstances."
Where did you go so early in the morning?
It took me a long time to take care of your look alike.
First of all, I disfigured her face.
And then I beheaded her. And then I made arrangements...
...for her severed head to be paraded all over Agra.
But it was really tough for me, mother.
Whenever I looked at her face, I saw you.
Adham, eyes can deceive you. Look, I am right in front of you.
Your dear mother is standing right in front of you, safe and sound.
The one you beheaded was Lakhi.
O Lord, may that loyal Lakhi's soul rest in peace.
I want to ask you a question.
Go ahead.
When did you get the thought of bringing Lakhi?
Adham, I have known Lakhi since years.
Ever since Jalal was in his formative days.
Jalal must have been about 4 years old.
I was wandering around with Jalal.
I was trying to save Him from our enemies.
I still remember. It was night time.
"Hey."
"Lightening struck in the cloud"
"and it shone in the sky."
"Lightening struck in the cloud"
"and it shone in the sky."
"Hey."
Believe me, Adham. I thought I was looking at a mirror.
Lakhi looked exactly like me.
And at that time, our enemies were hot on our heels.
The fear that we'll be caught very shortly had gripped me.
And then I got an idea to escape from my enemies.
Who are you?
My name is Maham Anga. And I have come from Agra.
And this is the heir of the Moghul empire. Jalal.
Right now, it is my responsibility to save...
...him from the enemies.
Will you help me in fulfilling this responsibility?
You will be rewarded.
What will I have to do?
All I want you to do is to mislead my enemies...
...as Maham Anga for a few days.
And she did her job really well.
As I had imagined, the enemies thought Lakhi was Maham Anga.
And started chasing her. And I could go to a safe place with Jalal.
I also kept my word. I gave Lakhi plenty of gold.
I even got her daughter married off.
You have done me a huge favour.
Lakhi, you've done a huge favour on Moghul empire.
I have only rewarded you.
I will always be there...
...to help you if you ever need me.
"Maham Anga!"
I didn't reward her but had bought her over.
I had almost forgotten Lakhi.
But when Jalal released Jodha from house arrest...
...and started looking for the murderer himself, I got scared.
What if Jalal finds out that it was me?
I had been to Gulbadan Bano at that time.
"Mullah Bekasi was the emperor's look alike."
"He was made to sit on the throne for 17 days..."
"...with the emperor's clothes on."
"So that the enemies don't know about his death..."
"...till the declaration of Jalal as the emperor."
And I was reminded of Lakhi again.
Years ago, you had made me a promise.
Do you remember?
It is time to fulfil that promise.
I have food in my hand. I swear on food...
...I'll gladly sacrifice my life for you.
"Maham Anga!"
But you'll have to...
...provide for my family.
"Maham Anga!"
Ma"am, do me this favour. Do me this favour.
You don't worry about that.
I explained everything to Lakhi.
And I locked her up in the secret room deliberately...
...so that Jalal is able to see her.
And that is what happened.
Lakhi was having hookah in the secret room...
...when Jalal saw her.
He took her to be me.
And then I instructed Lakhi
what she had to do.
You are on the right track. You are doing a great job, Lakhi.
I am obeying your order.
This is what you have to do.
You just create doubt.
I'll take care of the rest.
I'll do as you say.
You have done me lots of favours.
Just order me. Tell me. What do I have to do?
"Maham Anga!"
And then Jalal's suspicion started growing slowly.
And then after two days,
Jalal showed me my look alike.
"Look at that, mother."
Oh my God! She looks exactly like me.
Mother, she looks like you. But she is nothing like you.
She is the one Rahim saw mixing thorn apple extract in the saffron.
And I have understood that Someone is trying to frame you.
"I was happy that Jalal was convinced that I was innocent."
"Now I was waiting for justice to be made."
"And I explained to Lakhi what she had to say in the court."
Lakhi took the blame on herself.
She proved her loyalty by getting herself beheaded.
Lakhi was amazing!
The amazing thing is that you have never praised me so much.
That's because Lakhi deserves it, Adham.
This is the special thing about this race.
They keep their word even at the cost of their lives.
Lakhi proved her loyalty. It is my turn now.
I'll have to pay for Lakhi's life.
Adham, give her family so much wealth...
...that they lead a luxurious life for generations to come.
"Hey."
Your highness. Your highness.
Hoshiyar, seems like you have some really interesting news.
Seems like you have come to know which queen...
...is going to do what in the market tomorrow.
And I even know who is not going to do anything.
This is the only chance the women of the harem get in a year...
...to get close to the emperor. To hear a few words from him.
To be noticed by him.
And who would be foolish enough to let this opportunity go by,
except queen Jodha.
Oh God. I try day and night to gather information.
What magic wand do you have that you come to know...
...everything beforehand?
Now I feel that I am useless to you.
Remember one thing, Hoshiyar.
The day you are of no use to me...
...you will not be with me.
What's this? You are not having hookah today.
Seems like, you'll not offer me hookah today.
That's because the news I have is much more...
...interesting than the hookah.
Tell me. What information do you have?
Tomorrow, is the day of "Meena Bazaar", Jalal.
Meena Bazaar? I thought it was something special for me.
Everything in the fair is especially for you, Jalal.
And as always, I will have the best and most...
...precious thing to give to you.
I will beat everyone hands down.
Why? What do you have for me?
Have patience, Jalal.
Patience always pays.
Tomorrow, when all the women of the harem...
...will be trying to woo you in their way...
...you'll know what special thing Ruqaiya has in store for you.
Well, all the women of the harem will participate in the fair.
Except....
Except?
This is the special quality you have, Jalal.
You don't notice the one who is for you.
You show interest in the one who is not yours.
Don't talk in riddles, Ruqaiya. Tell me.
Who'll not be present there, tomorrow?
Jodha.
Impossible.
As always, all the wives of the harem...
...have to participate in this. This is the custom here.
It is not a law that you have to participate in the fair.
But that is the custom of the harem, Ruqaiya.
Why do you get so upset when it comes to Jodha?
She is not that important.
It is not that Jodha is important.
It is that the rules here are important.
You have started overlooking the rules and customs...
...of the kingdom for Jodha. Isn't it, Jalal?
You gave her the right to follow her religion.
You gave her the freedom to worship in her way.
So, why are you getting upset when she is taking her own decisions?
Because trying to displease the emperor is also...
...disrespecting the emperor.
And I will not tolerate that.
Where are you going?
To queen Jodha.
Be it for the last time, but she will have to listen to me.
Last time? What do you mean?
As per your wish, I have sent a message to King Bharmal.
Someone from Amer will be here very soon to take Jodha.
If that was the case, why didn't you send her with her brothers?
Ruqaiya, there were going somewhere else.
Someone from Amer will be here very soon and take Jodha back.
That's good. And there should be no place in Agra...
...for someone who hates the emperor.
But why are you doing all this if she is going anyways?
Because she is still here.
And she will have to obey my orders as long as she is here.
Jodha, it is only yesterday that you told me, you'd obey...
...all my orders as long as you are here.
You will not give me any chance to complain.
And today, you refused from participating in "Meena Bazaar".
Why? You said yesterday that you...
...will not put any pressure on a guest?
But you did the same again.
Jodha, don't forget that you are still my wife.
You can do as you please once you return to Amer.
But here, you'll follow the rules and regulations of the Moghul empire.
What's the point in following or understanding...
...the customs and traditions of the Moghul empire...
...if I will be going away in two days?
This is not about whether it is useful or useless, Jodha.
And it's the rule of the Moghul empire...
...that no queen will ever argue with the emperor.
Every queen of the palace will participate in the fair.
This is the custom. And I want you to be present there.
And yes. As long as you are here...
...no one should know that you are returning to your parents.
"There are hardly any days left for me to leave."
"But he will not let any chance to put me down, go by."
"But this time, I won't give in."
"I will make him realise that he can't bully Jodha all the time."
Jodha, come.
Greetings, mother. You called me?
Have a seat.
Mother, what is this?
This is a needle and thread for embroidery.
Although I have always been weak in embroidery,
but I am trying.
You must be thinking that what is the need...
...for me to do all this at this age?
Actually, Jodha...
...many times, we take up difficult tasks for our kin's happiness.
But no one can understand this better than you.
Even at your mother's place, the Queens try so hard to...
...keep the traditions, customs and rituals intact.
So does your mother. Isn't it?
You can say that "Meena Bazaar" is also such a tradition.
It has been going on in the Moghul empire since a long time.
Do you know why "Meena Bazaar" is decorated?
Yes. To attract the King and to impress him.
Where the women of the women's quarter...
...don't leave any chance to belittle each other...
...in order to raise in the estimation of His Majesty.
But Jodha, when "Meena Bazaar" took place for the first time...
...the reason behind it was very big.
The Queens and maids who don't get to see the world...
...outside the women's quarter are free on this day.
In this market, they not only sell their products...
...but they also buy their dreams.
But it is difficult to know it without being a part of it.
Like feeling water without getting wet.
Since a long time, so many Queens and maids...
...crave to see His Majesty.
This is the only chance when His Highness...
...comes face-to-face with them.
He shares their happiness and hears their problems.
Do you know? Only women participate in this market.
They put up the stalls.
They are the only sellers and they are the buyers as well.
It's been a long time since you came to Agra, Jodha.
I want that as a Queen, you should know them...
...recognize them and understand them.
I am sure that once you take part in it...
...you will eagerly wait for it, every time.
"This means, mother doesn't know that..."
"...within a few days, I will be returning to Amer."
"Will it be fine to hide such an important matter from her?"
"But His Majesty has told me not to tell anyone about this."
What are you thinking, Jodha?
That before leaving, I shouldn't commit a mistake...
Where are you going? To the Goddess's temple.
Well…
No, mother.
I mean to say that what if someone doesn't want to...
...participate in this "Meena Bazaar"?
Believe me. Once you put up a stall in "Meena Bazaar"...
...you always keep waiting for this day to come.
Not for your happiness, but for my happiness, you will...
...have to participate in "Meena Bazaar".
Alright, mother.
For your happiness, I will definitely participate in it.
That too, with my own stall.
This is what I expected from you.
And I hope you will like "Meena Bazaar", too.
