With God's blessings and your courage...
...this unfortunate incident was averted, Your Highness.
If something bad had happened, the image...
...of Amer would have been tarnished.
Why are you worried about...
...the incident that didn't take place, my lord?
Sir, the vet said that Hawai was drugged.
Due to which, he created such havoc.
I know that, Adgha.
I know that the attacker knew about the relationship...
...between Hawai and me.
He knew that if anything happened to Hawai...
...I will come to handle him.
During that time, my life would be in danger.
It was a good trick, but, it was thwarted by my capability.
Who was the enemy?
It could be anyone.
But, sire, now we will have to be alert.
It means that I should live in fear.
Adgha, I am a king.
If I get afraid of such minor incidents, how will...
...I handle the vast empire of India?
Adgha, if I get scared, my enemy will win.
That's what the enemy does.
He attacks me, hoping that I will get frightened.
If I get frightened, he will win.
But, if I live my life fearlessly, he will get unnerved.
-But, sir... -Adgha!
This is not the first time I have been attacked.
I have been attacked many times before...
...and it will happen in future too because, I am a king.
But, I will fearlessly do what I have come to do.
I will ensure, that Sukanya gets married.
Your Highness, you are younger than me...
...still, I learn a lot from you.
You may do whatever you want.
But, I will also fulfil my duty.
Since I am a rank bearer, your safety is my responsibility.
I will fulfil it.
I won't leave any stone unturned to find...
...the one who played this trick.
I promise you.
Amer is your kingdom, my lord.
You know what you have to do.
I can't tell you how to rule.
You know better.
But, may I tell you the truth, my lord?
I am more worried about Hawai, than the attacker.
Today that mute animal is in pain due to me.
Forgive me, Your Excellency.
Jalal has been attacked.
To keep quiet now, would be cowardly.
Sometimes keeping quiet is the wise thing to do, Maham.
Even I know that the Mughals are not cowards.
But, the situation is rather different.
Sukanya's wedding is in the offing.
Your Excellency, you are worried about Sukanya's wedding.
Aren't you worried about your son Jalal?
I agree, that you have nursed Jalal, Maham.
But, I gave birth to Jalal.
He is my flesh and blood.
I care for Jalal as much as you do.
But sometimes, you have to listen to...
...your mind and not your heart.
The enemy can be from Amer or from Agra, too.
Have you forgotten that Jalal hadn't even...
...reached Amer and he was attacked?
The herbalist from Gwalior was prevented from coming...
...so that Jalal's condition wouldn't improve.
Our people know better than the people of Amer...
...how much Jalal loves Hawai.
The attacker could be anyone of us, too.
Jalal understands this, very well.
That is why he is silent.
Whatever decision he makes, I am with him.
Forgive me, Your Excellency.
I love your son Jalal.
That is why such thoughts entered my mind.
Hence, I spoke them out loud.
Forgive me.
Maham, an arrow and speech, both need to be used cautiously.
Otherwise, they will always cause damage.
You are a minister of the empire.
Think with your mind and not with your heart, right now.
As you wish.
Goodbye.
Do anything you have to, and bring the one...
...who has planned this ruse to me.
I will have to present him in front of His Highness.
I don't understand, how to explain this to you.
Why doesn't anything affect you?
Because, I don't want your advice.
You are not my master and I am not dependent on you.
Don't forget, that we both are sailing in the same boat.
If that boat drowns due to you, I will be at a loss, too.
I won't tolerate that.
Did you see? You missed the target.
If the target is missed the second time, it means...
...that His Highness will become alert.
Not twice. I will try a thousand times.
It is my job to attack and his job to escape.
For how long will he escape?
Someday, he will make a mistake.
Jalal must be thinking that, too.
Someday, you will make a mistake.
What, then?
Jalal has become alert, now.
One more mistake and we will lose the game.
I played a good trick.
Hawai spoilt the entire plan.
He loves Jalal a lot.
That is it.
When you knew that Hawai loves Jalal so much...
...still you had to choose him!
I kept forbidding you again and again.
By the way, Adham, you are not at all...
...capable of thinking of any plots.
You are not capable of becoming a king.
At least, I keep trying.
You can't even do that.
You just keep waiting, for luck to favour you.
I believe in creating favourable circumstances.
There is a right time for those too, Adham.
Well, I am waiting for that time.
No matter how late you attack, but it shouldn't fail.
Those who wait for time...
...keep waiting for the rest of their lives.
Time doesn't move as per our convenience.
That is why, we should move according to the time, Adham.
Right now, time is not in our favour.
Did you understand?
We will get many chances to attack.
We will have to wait for the right chance.
What happened was not right.
Why did His Highness' elephant have to lose his senses...
I don't understand anything.
Someone must have given him an opiate.
Why did this happen on the eve of Sukanya's wedding?
Jodha, you must explain to him.
If he gets angry, things will get out of hand.
Sire, I have made a special medicine for Hawai.
After drinking it, he will get well very soon.
Go and bring that medicine.
I will go and give Hawai the medicine myself.
Today, the poor creature is in pain, because of me.
Maybe, if I touch him and caress him, his pain will reduce.
You may leave.
May His Highness live long!
I want to discuss something important with you.
You are dismissed.
Tell me, Adgha.
I tried my level best. It is my bad luck.
I didn't succeed in getting any clues about the attacker.
How will you find any clue, Adgha?
There is not just one enemy, who is targeting me.
There are thousands of Rajputs out here.
There are 5,000 of my own soldiers amidst them.
Anyone could have planned this ruse against me.
It can be any Rajput or a Mughal enemy.
Even you can be the enemy, Adgha.
Don't worry.
I don't suspect you, but I do not trust you, either.
I don't even trust my own shadow, Adgha.
Queen Jodha, why are you here?
You didn't tell me why you have come here, Queen Jodha.
I have come to request you...
...to leave from here.
Why?
Inspite of knowing everything, why are you feigning ignorance?
Can't you see? Your life is in danger here.
First, while boating in the lake and now, here at the dais.
You have been attacked twice with a view to kill you.
Leave from here.
Have you started to get worried about me, queen Jodha?
No. I am worried about Sukanya's wedding.
I am worried about Amer.
God forbid, if something happens to you in Amer...
...Sukanya's wedding will be stopped.
Amer's happiness will turn into sadness.
My family will be slandered for that disastrous event.
Amer will have to face all kinds of trouble!
That is why I am begging you. You...
Thank God, queen Jodha.
Otherwise, for a moment I thought...
...that you have started to worry for me.
Thank you, since you didn't let me lose my faith.
Do you know?
There is no limit to my enemies.
A few of them come in front of me and...
...express their hatred and accept it.
I am happy you are among those enemies who come in front of me...
...and express their hatred.
Wear this, Queen Jodha.
-What? -I said wear it, Queen Jodha.
Wear it.
Hold my sword.
-What are you doing? -Hold my sword.
I am making you the king.
So that you realise how you feel after becoming a king.
Now, you are the king.
The crown of the Mughal empire's respect and honour is on you.
Your hands bears the power of your sword.
Now, I will request you to try to understand my dilemma.
Queen Jodha, if I leave from Amer, the subjects...
...will think that I have got scared.
If I get scared of an attack...
...how will I protect the subjects?
On the other hand, if I stay here despite knowing...
...that anyone can attack me...
...any Rajput, any Mughal can attack me.
They can use anything as a weapon against me.
Whether it is an arrow or my own loyal elephant.
So, in such a situation what decision should I make?
Tell me, queen Jodha.
I can't tell you.
That's what I hoped from you, Queen Jodha...
...and you are right.
No one can understand.
The one who wears the crown has to make the decision.
Queen Jodha, the biggest disadvantage of this attire...
...is that the one who wears it doesn't know...
...who is his enemy and who is not.
Do you understand, now?
I understand.
Today, I don't abhor you. I pity you, Your Highness.
Do you call this a life?
What's the use of this power that suffocates you?
What is the use of such status...
...where you can't trust your own people?
Neither your friends nor your family.
In fact, not even your shadow.
It must hurt you a lot, right?
There is no one in this world who loves you.
Really, Your Highness.
Your life is very difficult.
I can't live such a life even for a moment.
You may handle your life.
Take it.
All I feel is pity for you.
Wait, queen Jodha.
Never commit the mistake of pitying me.
I will consider it as my insult.
Do you know why everyone has a feud with me?
Do you know why everyone hates me?
Do you know, why everyone wants to kill me?
Because, I am a king, queen Jodha.
A lion's destiny and my destiny is one and the same.
We are destined for only one thing and that is to walk alone.
We don't choose our destiny.
In fact, destiny chooses us, queen Jodha.
Come in. Hello.
Come in. Welcome, sister.
The henna ceremony will be more wonderful since you're here.
Come inside.
Amazing, sister-in-law.
The henna has just been applied...
...and it has become so dark!
Our would-be son-in-law's love...
...has cast a spell on our younger sister-in-law.
Look, she is looking so beautiful.
Now, she will glow even more, when after the henna...
...we apply the turmeric paste on my sister.
Forget it, sister Jodha.
Your face is glowing. And why not?
Brother-in-law had gone to the temple with her.
Brother-in-law was also waiting for her to go for the celebration.
He did not take his eyes off Jodha.
You are right, sister-in-law.
Brother-in-law kept staring at her.
What about him? Look at the glow on his face.
An expert at all weapons. Such a brave warrior.
But, he becomes like a child with children...
...and is respectful towards elders.
If we keep praising him, Sukanya will get irritated.
It is Sukanya's wedding.
So, talk about our would-be brother-in-law.
What can I say about him, Jodha?
I have heard that he is very handsome, virtuous...
...and he is a great warrior, too.
Why not? His Highness himself has...
...selected him for his sister-in-law.
I don't understand why all of you come back to His Highness.
Sister Jodha, apply henna on me, first.
Yes. At your wedding, my turn came last.
But, not this time.
Okay, young Princess.
This time, you come first. Is that okay?
Come on. Sit there quickly and apply the henna.
-Then, there is dancing, too. -Is that so?
Everyone will come for the celebration, right?
Did you see that, sister-in-law?
She is also talking about brother-in-law.
He is our brother-in-law. He will definitely come.
Only girls come for the music ceremony for the henna rituals.
Men are not allowed to come.
Do you understand?
Come on. Now, sit there and apply the henna, quickly.
Come. Come. Let's go.
Hello.
Come in.
Oh, God!
The henna designs are so lovely!
Can I also get this done?
Yes. Yes. Definitely. Come and sit.
Will you apply henna, dear?
-Yes, grandma. -Come with me.
I don't understand, why we have come here for the henna ceremony.
It was Her Excellency's order.
We had to come with her.
Why don't you explain to Her Excellency, sister?
She listens to you.
You should have explained to her.
This is one of the rituals of the wedding, Maham Anga.
And you are taunting me.
Does your daughter-in-law Javeda listen to you?
Javeda?
Where is she?
Look there. Right in front of you.
Oh, God!
She is not only participating in the rituals, but, she is...
...also participating in the henna ceremony, eagerly.
Foolish woman.
Javeda.
Mother.
What are you doing, dear?
Look, grandma has applied such a beautiful henna design.
Your daughter-in-law is very sweet, Maham Anga.
She mingled with everyone...
...just as sugar mingles with milk.
Mother.
You didn't praise my henna design.
Your henna is just like you.
Beautiful.
Did you see that, grandma? Even mother praised it!
Come on, dear.
We will go and see whether Sukanya's...
-...henna design is done or not. -Let's go.
Listen to me, very carefully.
From today onwards and from right now, no need...
...to tell anyone that you are my daughter-in-law.
My reputation which you spared to some extent, will be ruined.
Of course, your henna is pathetic, just like you.
Is it bad? It is so beautiful!
Maybe, mother didn't like it because it is not elaborate.
Make it elaborate. Do it nicely. Okay?
Do it beautifully.
Tell us. Tell us, did you like our henna?
So, it's all of you.
All of you frightened me.
Hey! How can you get scared? You are the king.
You are courageous. Are you scared of us?
But, all of you are Jodha's sisters.
So, I will have to get scared of all of you, right?
Don't be afraid and tell us. Whose henna is the best?
Great. Everyone's design is good. Really beautiful.
This is nothing. Everyone is saying that sister Jodha's...
...henna design looks the most beautiful.
Yes, after applying the beautiful henna design, when she will...
...dance, she will look all the more beautiful.
Oh, God! We were not supposed to tell you.
Why? Why can't you tell me?
If someone sees us telling you, we will get scolded.
You are dismissed.
Now, everyone has left. Now, you can tell me. I won't tell anyone.
Tell me about your sister Jodha. Well...
...where is she going to perform her dance?
Come on! You can't even pronounce dance.
Now, you have taught me, I will be able to pronounce it.
Well, dance, isn't it?
So now tell me, where is your sister Jodha...
...going to perform this dance?
During the function.
And where is that?
At the henna and music ceremony.
Don't you know?
This celebration goes on for the entire night.
Because, it is our tradition to stay awake the entire night.
Where is this celebration?
-There. -There.
But, you can't go there.
Men are not allowed to go there.
So, your sister Jodha is performing a dance.
I am not allowed to go there.
I will definitely go.
I am a king. I can go anywhere.
I am her husband, too.
Sit down here.
Let me go, mother.
I feel like dancing.
Even I feel like killing you.
Can I do it? No.
Sit here quietly.
Mother.
Javeda, if you go there to dance...
...your beautiful henna design will get spoiled.
Oh, God!
No matter how much you scold me...
...but, I know how much you care for me.
Now, I won't go anywhere. I will sit here and dance.
Sit on my lap, why don't you?
Sit there.
Excellent, sister Jodha. You dance so well.
If brother-in-law had been here...
...he would have enjoyed a lot.
By the way, he was asking about the celebration.
But, we told him that he can't come here.
So, he didn't come.
Is that so? When did he meet you and what did he ask?
'His Highness knew that men are not allowed here.'
'But still, he came here.'
'He is so stubborn. He has no shame.'
Come, Queen Jodha.
So, the henna has been applied on your hands.
Are you asking me or are you telling me?
Don't try to act innocent.
You came there. I saw you.
By the way, men are not allowed to enter in...
...the women's quarter at your place, right?
No. Once Maan Singh had gone there, by mistake...
...and they created a big scene.
Do you remember it?
Maan Singh was young.
But, how could you commit this mistake, Your Highness?
So according to you, queen Jodha, I have committed a mistake.
I have broken a rule.
Fine.
Punish me.
We don't punish people for petty things, in our kingdom.
A warning is issued.
That's what I am doing for you.
As it is, you forgave Maan Singh. So, I also forgive you.
Queen Jodha, Maan Singh committed a sin...
...unknowingly and I committed this sin, knowingly.
I came there where men are not allowed, just to see you.
Even then, you won't punish me. Why?
Excellent. The scent is so good, Queen Jodha.
So, tell me. What is the punishment for me?
I told you. I don't want to give you any punishment.
Are you being kind because you have begun to love me?
-What? -Of course, Queen Jodha.
Somehow, you have begun to like me.
Love has awakened in the heart which was filled with hate for me.
Maybe, that is why, you haven't punished me.
You're deluding yourself, Your Highness.
I don't like you even a little. Do you understand?
I think, I will have to punish you to clear up your delusion.
That is fine.
You will have to do 500 sit-ups.
Only 500?
You will get breathless after 100.
The body starts sweating.
What are you doing?
Queen Jodha, the punishment that you have given me...
...can't be done while wearing royal attire.
Why did you avert your face, Queen Jodha?
If you don't look at me, who will count?
Then, you will say that I have cheated.
Look at me, Queen Jodha.
Queen Jodha, what are you telling me to do?
My back will break, Queen Jodha.
Why are you making those kind of noises?
There are so many people outside this chamber!
If they hear, what will they think about us?
They will wonder, what task you have made me do...
...that will break my back, Queen Jodha.
Stop.
Fine, Queen Jodha.
I will stop.
But, in return, you will have to massage my shoulders.
Otherwise, I will start making noises again.
You don't pity the one who has been given a punishment.
Fine.
I won't stop, then.
Okay. Stop.
Get up.
Wear it.
I am fine like this.
Wear it.
Come, Queen Jodha. Massage my shoulders. I'm in pain.
Amazing!
I gave him the punishment...
...and he is making me serve him.
I have never seen a more cunning person than him.
Instead of Jalal his name should have been Jallad.
Did you say something, Queen Jodha?
-I didn't say anything. -Massage my shoulders.
Yes. I am massaging them, aren't I?
Why are you breathing so deeply?
If people hear, what will they think?
They will wonder what kind of work you...
...have made me do...
...that I am out of breath.
Goodnight, Queen Jodha.
People might say that...
...brother-in-law doesn't have a heart, sister.
But, what I saw...
...that is totally different from the general consensus.
Brother-in-law has proved that he is generous at heart.
Someone drugged his favourite elephant Hawai in Amer.
But still, he kept quiet.
Sister I was scared and fearful.
If he got angry, something bad would have happened.
If this wedding would have been interrupted...
...I wouldn't have been able to face anyone.
I would have died, sister.
May your enemies die!
You are going to begin a new life.
You shouldn't say such inauspicious things on this day.
Do you understand?
God willing, no one will...
...cast the evil eye on my sister.
You and your happy future should have a long life.
Come. Now, the wedding party has to arrive.
'Son-in-law, put the coin in this.'
Did you see that, Sujata? Your brother-in-law is so silly.
Brother-in-law. Brother-in-law.
The vermilion powder has fallen on your nose. Look?
Sister Jodha, brother-in-law fooled you.
His nose turned red due to the vermilion and...
...your nose became red because you rubbed it.
'He is giving signals along with the words.'
You are playing with sand.
I am not playing.
I am waiting for the game to start.
As the sand slips from my hand...
...the crisis is drawing near.
Is that so?
What if, you are unsuccessful like me?
That is the difference between you and me, Adham.
You play without thinking. While I...
...keep the trump card with me, till the last moment.
It changes the entire game, when the time is right.
When will that card be used?
It has been used, Adham.
Now, I am just waiting for it to be revealed to everyone.
I am waiting for the moment when Gajendra's father will ask...
...for the Ratanpur fort from His Highness.
What if Jalal gives the fort?
That won't happen, Adham.
Jalal won't give that fort, at any cost.
That fort has great political value.
Jalal got the administration of Punjab from there.
If he gives the fort, he will incur a loss.
-And if he doesn't give it... -Queen Jodha will go to war!
All the guests who have come for the ceremony are welcome to Amer.
As per the tradition of Amer, I am announcing...
...the things and wealth given to the daughter as a gift.
21 elephants.
51 horses.
51,000 gold coins.
500 cows.
10 dresses made with finest Dhaka silk and velvet.
11 pairs of diamond earrings.
15 floral hair ornaments made from gold.
A huge 8 gated mansion near Sambhar.
15 villages near the temple of Goddess Jumaye.
All the ornaments that have been gifted.
Now, I request the groom's family to oblige us...
...by accepting the gifts given to the bride.
Wait.
If you permit me, I would like to say something, Your Highness.
Assure me that nothing will happen to me.
Have no fear. Tell me.
You forgot to mention one thing on this list, sir.
You didn't mention the fort in the list of gifts.
-Which fort? -The fort of Ratanpur...
...that was going to be gifted to us at this wedding.
But, how can he give it to you? That is my property.
It is the Mughal empire's fort.
But, on your behalf chief officer Sharifuddin himself had...
...promised that the fort will be given to us in dowry.
Well, what are you saying?
No, Lord Sharifuddin.
Before arranging this marriage, I placed this condition.
You accepted it, too.
Sharifuddin, did you say something like this?
His Highness, why would I say that?
Lord Sharifuddin, this is not the time to argue.
That is what I am saying. How can I promise to give you...
...the fort that belongs to His Highness?
Your Highness, do you think that your servant...
...can commit such a mistake without asking you?
I know how important that fort is for you.
You have so many memories attached to that fort.
You were appointed as administrator of Punjab, there.
They are lying to tarnish the image of the Mughal empire.
Wait for a moment.
Brother, there is nothing lacking in the dowry.
Then, why have you placed this condition?
I don't want what happened with you...
...to happen with me, too.
You got your daughter married to a Mughal.
In return, you had to face the enmity of all Rajputs.
I want security from the Mughals and the Rajputs.
I would feel secure, if I get His Highness Jalal's fort....
....and that's why, I asked for the fort, my lord.
How can you demand it?
Who gave you the fort?
Do you have any documents?
A sealed letter from the emperor?
Any proof? Do you have any witness?
Consider yourself lucky, that...
...this is on the occasion of lady Jodha's sister's wedding.
Otherwise, you'd be punished...
...severely, for this misconduct of yours.
I was showing my respect to this occasion, too.
There is no shortage of soldiers or royal members, here.
Swords can come out here, too.
But, I don't want to talk about the war.
We are talking about traditions, here. Of promises.
The tradition is that the groom's family gets...
...the desired gift from the bride's family.
The promise is what you gave to me...
...as the representative of the emperor.
I've made no such promise.
If you've any doubts, then...
...I swear by my loyalty, that I've made no such promise.
I've complete faith in Sharifuddin.
No army general can dare lie to the emperor.
Pratap!
I swear by Goddess Amba...
...that Sharifuddin promised in front of me.
Did you hear him, emperor?
No royal member can take a false oath on Goddess Amba.
Excuse me, king. The Mughal empire is known for its truthfulness.
Sharifuddin has also taken an oath.
I'm sure that Sharifuddin is not telling lies.
Rather, you are telling lies.
All of you are telling lies.
Sharifuddin, your son Adham and you, yourself.
Enough!
Not a word more.
You are calling my aunt and brother-in-law liars.
You are accusing the one, who always keeps blessing me.
I don't know, if Sharifuddin promised you or not.
But, I made a promise to my wife, Jodha...
...that I wouldn't cause any clashes, here.
So, don't try my patience.
I don't worry about the number of enemies...
...before or after the war.
Or about the dead.
Emperor, I don't know what to do.
This issue is linked with the fort.
Only you can make the decision.
I've decided that I will...
...never give the Ratanpur fort.
As for Sukanya's wedding...
...I can find her another royal prince, just as I found him.
Emperor.
