You always kept telling me,
"Adham, don't be in a hurry."
"Wait."
What.... What is the result of waiting, mother?
Now Jalal's child will sit on the throne of Agra.
And we will remain slaves.
If you believe so, Adham...
...that you are a slave...
...and you will remain a slave all your life...
...so like a slave, keep a control on your thought and tongue.
You want to be an emperor and want the throne?
The throne isn't sold in the market.
That I shall go and buy the throne for you.
And pamper you.
Understand something today.
And keep it in mind forever.
Jalal is your brother.
But he is a distant brother.
One who belongs to a royal family ascends the throne.
You are not one.
Neither do you belong to the family of Babar...
...nor are you a relative.
Even if Jalal doesn't have a child all his life...
...yet, it wouldn't be easy for you to sit on that throne.
You can get that throne only through rebellion.
You can sit on the throne only through a ploy.
Or with power.
Hakim Mirza wouldn't take time to come from Kabul.
Salima and Rukaiya wouldn't take time to inherit the throne.
Because both of them are from royal families, Adham.
And you are not!
That is why, you should keep your emotions in check.
Neither do you have the power to stand against Jalal...
...nor is this the right time to hatch a conspiracy.
That is why I am Requesting you, Adham.
Listen to your mother.
Let me think.
What is the point of thinking now, mother?
The arrow has already been shot.
The arrow has left for sure.
And we cannot stop the arrow that has been shot.
But we can change the aim of the arrow for sure.
But for that, I need some time to think.
When I am alone, I often think better.
That is why, it is my request to you...
...Adham, please leave your mother alone for some time.
Think, mother.
You keep thinking while I have understood...
...that I will be a slave all my life.
You keep thinking.
Adham. You will get whatever you think of.
You are not destined to be a slave.
"Maham Anga!"
Adham was right about something.
Jodha isn't a toy of Jalal now.
Jodha has dreamed of sitting on the throne besides Jalal.
I must do something.
Or else, the maid's words will come true.
Oh no! For the first time, I can see my moves going wrong.
"Not on that night nor before that."
"Jodha and I have never shared any intimacy."
"Then who is the cheat?"
Come, Rukaiya.
If you are not inconvenienced with my visit...
...I am sure you wouldn't have a problem with the question...
...I am about to ask you, Jalal.
You know that it doesn't make a difference to me...
...where you spend your nights.
But it does make a difference when you hide something from me.
When you lie to me.
Being an emperor, you have the right...
...to spend nights with any wife.
But being your first queen...
...even I have a right to know everything about you.
And as a friend, this right becomes more poignant.
Rukaiya, for God's sake, right now, this question...
I want to talk right now, Jalal.
And you have to answer me right away.
I wanted to give you the heir of Moghul sultanate.
You...
I wanted to be the first one to give...
...you the happiness of being a father.
But you? You not only took away that happiness from me,
...but you also put an end to that relation...
...that was very important for me.
The relation of our friendship, Jalal.
Jodha has put an end to the depth of our friendship, Jalal.
And she has created a huge rift between the two of us...
...that I wouldn't like to bridge.
Nor will you be able to bridge this gap.
Hey, listen to me.
"Not only has she made fun of my trust,"
"but she has also ridiculed the trust between me and Rukaiya."
"I can never forgive you..."
"...nor the criminal who supported you."
"The question is, who is he after all."
Don't regret. Time will be in your favor.
You had to become the mother of the true heir...
...had the impostor Lakhi not ruined everything.
In any case, you will be the one to give an heir to Moghul sultanate.
Think over it.
What if Jodha's child isn't born at all?
Keep quiet, you twerp!
If you ever say that again even by mistake...
...I will pull your tongue out.
And I will hang you immediately.
If someone wishes ill for my Jalal's child...
...he will not even be given a chance to wish for anything again.
Please forgive me, Your Highness.
Forgive me.
Don't do it ever again.
I know how a mother feels on losing her child.
And I wouldn't want even my enemy to go through that.
I cannot think like that for any woman.
Yes. I will have a regret that I couldn't do...
...what Jodha was lucky to have done.
That I couldn't become the mother of the heir.
But it doesn't mean that for my own misgiving...
...I can give pain to others.
Get out of here. Leave me alone.
And yes, if you ever repeat whatever you told me just now...
...I will forget that you had served me at one point of time.
And I am not so narrow minded...
...that I will think of something like that for Jodha.
Get out of here.
I said, get out!
Congrats to you, queen Jodha.
And congratulations to you too, Your Excellency.
Congratulations to you too, Maham.
Thank you.
Queen Jodha is about to fulfill the dream we had cherished...
...about the heir of the Moghul Sultanate.
Be alert. The emperor of Hind, Jalaluddin Mohammed...
...is coming here.
God takes long to shower grace, but never disappoints, Emperor!
I had gone to the abode of the Almighty to pray for you.
And look at the miracle, emperor.
Before I could reach here, my prayers have been answered.
I am very happy. Congratulations to you.
"Maham Anga!"
"What is the matter?"
"Jalal does not seem happy at all."
If you all give me permission...
...I would like to ward evil eyes...
...off Jodha and His Majesty.
Please proceed.
Thank you.
Move water around emperor and Jodha to ward off evil eyes.
So that all the evil is done away with.
Emperor. Please stand besides the queen.
So that I can ward off the evil eyes.
"There is something for sure."
"Whatever Jalal is showing is not the truth."
"And I am sure whatever he is hiding could be useful for me."
I have come here so that the emperor's command is carried out.
Or else, the friendship that we shared is over.
Rukaiya, I know that your anger is justified.
And as far as my command is concerned...
...you are not bound to any command of mine.
Actually I wanted to talk to you about something...
...since you are my friend.
I used to talk to my friend who never hid anything from me.
Now I have lost that friend.
Give me permission to leave.
Rukaiya Begum.
I am requesting you to please stop.
I need to talk to the emperor about something important in front of you.
That is why I have come here.
I have not come to say something to you.
In fact, I have come to ask you something.
Tell me. Why did you break your promise?
Before our marriage...
...you gave me a promise that I can follow my religion forever.
And you stood up against the religious keepers of Moghul...
...sultanate to keep your word.
Then why did you break your promise that is related to my chastity?
Give me an answer.
You promised me that you wouldn't touch me against my wish.
Then why did you break your promise?
You had many more options to fulfill your lust.
Then why did you choose me? Why?
You don't love me.
So is it because of hatred or a revenge...
...that you did this to me?
That was the base of our relationship.
Tell me, emperor. Why did you do this?
Why did you win my trust and then cheat me?
Why did you touch me without my consent, emperor? Why?
"Jodha's question is justified."
"I have the same question in my mind."
"Why did Jalal do this?"
Don't remain silent. Give me an answer for my question.
"One who is a cheat is accusing someone else."
"What kind of politics is this, Jodha?"
"This is a good way to put me down, in front of Rukaiya."
Give me an answer, emperor.
I don't think it is necessary to answer any of your questions.
Nor does anyone have the right to question me.
"Because I want to ask you, Jodha."
"Who is it, involved in this crime of yours?"
You just told me now, emperor...
...you have no problem in answering any question in front of me.
So give her an answer.
Jodha is asking you something.
What was the reason that you didn't keep your promise?
If you remember, you were unwell that night, Jodha.
You were unconscious that night.
And I am sure that you don't remember what happened that night.
I had given my word that I wouldn't touch you without your consent.
But what if I tell you that I had your consent in doing...
...whatever that happened?
This isn't the truth.
At the moment, the truth is that you are about to become a mother.
It is enough, Jodha.
I don't feel like talking to you anymore.
Go away from here.
I told you, just leave!
Shamshuddin. What are you doing?
Adgah. You?
Not just me, Your Majesty,
while practicing using your sword...
...you have injured all the soldiers here. Look.
Adgah. I didn't pay attention whether I was practicing...
...or was fighting a war.
You seem unwell, sir.
Hope it isn't because of this cold breeze.
No, Adgah. A fearless soldier has to face all the problems alone.
And it doesn't matter if the problem is his personal one...
...or it is due to the weather.
If you ask me...
...should I stop the proceedings of the court of commons?
Because you seem tired and disturbed.
No, Adgah. An emperor's personal problems...
...can never precede his subjects' needs.
I will hear the cases and give judgment as well.
The court of commons will start on time.
Be alert. The life of the throne.
The emperor of the Moghul sultanate.
Emperor, the great.
Jalaluddin Mohammed is coming to the court.
Present the cases of people.
May the emperor always keep ruling.
What is your complaint?
Sir. We had gone for a relative's marriage.
We had handed over the house to Hamid, our neighbor.
But he is the one to steal.
Do you want to say something to defend yourself?
Sir, I made a mistake. Please forgive me.
The punishment for theft is cutting hands off.
Cut off his hands. Take him away.
No, sir. No, sir. No. No, sir.
I think the emperor is very angry today.
For an ordinary theft, 10 to 20 whips are enough. That is it.
He is an emperor.
His verdict has to be respected by us.
Emperor. The second man to request is a husband.
He has a complaint against his wife.
Get him here.
What is your complaint?
Emperor, my wife has cheated on me.
-And she has been unfaithful to me. -In what way?
My wife has been unfaithful, sir.
The child in her womb isn't mine.
In fact, it is the result of her cheating ways.
I was not here for a few months for the trading of diamonds.
When I came back, I learned that my wife is pregnant.
Sir, when I haven't touched her for months, how can the child be mine?
Give me justice, Your Majesty.
If a wife has cheated her Husband and been unfaithful...
...does she have a right to stay with her husband?
Do you have anything to say in your defense, madam?
Sir, all I want to say is that...
...the child in my womb isn't the result of a sin.
In fact, it is a sign of love.
I am in love with someone else and my husband isn't giving me divorce.
I agree that this child isn't my husband's.
And I want to request you...
...to please get me a divorce from my husband.
What is my mistake in this, sir?
I married her with all my heart.
I fulfilled all my duties and loved her.
I tried to give her all the happiness.
I gave her liberty. And she took advantage of those things.
She has been dishonest to me, sir.
When I didn't love him at all...
...where does cheating come up from, emperor?
I have been married against my wishes.
I was under the pressure of my family members.
I was never in love with him.
I never liked when you touched me.
When you look at me, or touch me and confess your love for me...
...I never liked anything.
Neither was I in love with you nor do I love you now.
The one I am in love with, I am carrying his child in my womb.
Hey, have some shame. The world is laughing at you.
It is not laughing at me, but you.
It is laughing at your foolishness and your capability of being a man!
I'm ready to go through any punishment for the one I love.
Stop it!
You have made a mockery out of my honesty and love.
Sir. She has made fun of my love and loyalty.
No punishment can be worse for a husband...
...whose wife raises a question about his manhood.
Give me justice, sir.
I want justice, emperor.
I cannot live with someone I am not in love with.
Keep quiet, you wanton!
Don't you fear God...
...that you dared to have an illegitimate physical relation...
...with another man?
You didn't respect your marital relationship.
You didn't fulfill your duty which is important for...
...a married woman in our religion.
This is not a crime. It is the lowliest sin.
You have not only cheated your husband...
...but have also gone against the religious laws.
Prophet, I want you to get this couple divorced.
And send a message to the judge that...
...he should keep an eye on this matter.
Because I will punish this woman for sure...
...but not the child in her womb.
That is why, after the child is born...
...she will be taken to the middle of the market...
...and will be stoned to death.
Along with that...
...even that criminal who has been her partner in crime.
This isn't justice, emperor.
The man I love isn't at fault.
This is injustice, emperor.
This is wrong.
This is his crime.
He is an equal partner in your crime.
Knowing that you are a married woman...
...he was in an illicit relationship with you.
Adgah, before I lose my control...
...take this fallen woman away from my eyes.
This isn't justice, emperor. This isn't justice.
Please listen to my request.
Moti, I am thoroughly disgusted with my status.
Every woman becomes a mother.
But when a queen is about to become a mother...
...it is such a big news.
Not only among the family members,
but even among the subjects.
Everyone's expectation is raised.
And I am irritated with these expectations.
My...
This respect that I have earned after losing my self respect...
...is something that I won't accept.
I cannot get rid of this thought that the emperor...
...did not bother about my consent and....
Jodha. Don't think too much.
We cannot change whatever has happened. Right?
-Greetings, mother. -Bless you.
Elder priest from Payana and Badanu have come to bless...
...you and the unborn child.
Come with me.
Jalal, some great priests have come to give blessings...
...to the unborn child.
Their blessings will be important for the coming heir...
...of Moghul sultanate.
I want you to come and meet them.
"The one about to be born is neither a Moghul nor my heir, aunt."
"But I cannot tell this to anyone."
"I cannot express that I have been cheated."
"What is the matter?"
"The priest has come to bless the heir of the Moghul Sultanate."
"And Jalal isn't happy to even know that."
"He seems lost."
Jalal.
I told you something, Jalal.
Yes, aunt. I heard it.
It is a great news.
Let's go.
Emperor. Please come and stand under this pious cover...
...along with Queen Jodha.
Now hold the hands of each other.
It will give thanks to the Lord for the fact...
...that both of you are grateful to each other...
...for this happiness.
And it is because of each other that you were allowed to see this...
...happy day.
"Jalal, now I'm sure there's a rift between you and Jodha."
"Because both of you don't seem happy on this pious occasion."
"What is the matter?"
Now raise your hands in prayer.
And thank God.
Emperor, please repeat whatever I say.
Hey, Lord.
I am thankful to you for your grace.
Hey, Lord. I am thankful to you for your grace.
For turning me into a parent from a childless person.
You gave me a chance to take my family and culture forward.
You bestowed your grace upon my queen so she could give...
...our family a heir.
Please shower your grace on our relationship.
Queen Jodha, now you please repeat.
Hey, Lord of two worlds.
I am thankful...
...that you have given me a chance to extend the Moghul family.
Hey, Lord of the world.
I am thankful...
...that you have given me a chance to extend the Moghul family.
Hey, Lord. Shower your grace on our relation and our love.
Hey, Lord. Shower your grace on our relation...
...and our love.
Whose child is this?
What?!
You only know how to ask questions and not answer them.
Give me an answer, Jodha.
Who did you have a relation with?
Who is the father of the child in your womb?
Questions that have a meaning are answered.
But I don't understand the meaning of whatever you are asking me.
I didn't have a relation with anyone.
You forced yourself on me.
By taking advantage of my unconsciousness...
...and breaking your promise.
This is a lie, Jodha.
I couldn't say anything to you the other day in front of Rukaiya.
But the truth is that I have not broken my promise.
"Praise the Lord."
"So this is the reason of Jalal's worry."
"That's why Jalal gave such a harsh punishment in court of commons."
"But the question is, who dared to cheat Jalal?"
"Whose encouragement is involved in the boldness of Jodha?"
Why are you quiet? Give me an answer.
Whose sin are you accusing me for?
Who is it with whom you have an illicit relationship?
Stop it!
That is it, emperor.
That is it.
You are the emperor of the Moghul sultanate.
But don't forget that even I am a Rajvanshi.
And no one has a right to point fingers at the...
...respect and chastity of a Rajvanshi woman.
Not even an emperor has the right.
I have an account of each and every moment of my life.
Except that night because I was left under your care.
You know what happened with me that night...
...and who deflowered me.
Because my responsibility was in your hands.
But everything is a game for you.
You had told me earlier that you spent the night with me.
And then, you told me that you didn't break your promise.
And then you admitted in front of Rukaiya that...
...you did spend the night with me.
And now?
You have put forth such a disgusting question...
...about who is the father of the child in my womb?
Emperor, I am a Rajvanshi.
I agree that our relationship started with hatred.
I also agree that I never accepted your touch.
But my values aren't such...
...that despite the presence of my husband...
...I will have a relation with another man.
Forget touching me,
no one can even touch my shadow, emperor.
You have a lot of pride about your Rajvanshi blood and faith, right?
Jodha, even I am true to my word and faith.
If I gave my word to you that...
...I wouldn't touch you without your consent...
...I didn't touch you that night.
And my Lord knows that.
If a husband doesn't even touch his wife...
...and his wife still gets pregnant...
...he has a right to pose questions to his wife.
You have a lot of faith in your math, don't you, Jodha?
So count again.
As I have an account of that night.
And I will find out about your other nights and days as well.
I will find out who the cheat is.
"You forced yourself on me."
"By taking advantage of my unconsciousness..."
"...and breaking your promise."
"This is a lie, Jodha."
Resham, where were you for so long?
Please forgive me, minister. But it was your command...
...that no one should come to know about this meeting.
That is why it took time to come.
I have got the doctor.
What happened, minister?
Where do you have a pain?
Now... I told her that you are unwell.
You nerve is fine, minister.
Nothing is wrong with me.
I have called you here because I...
...wanted to talk about Jodha's health.
Tell me.
You know that there have been so many queens in our palace...
...who got pregnant but they lost their child.
I don't want that there should be a problem this time.
That is why I wanted to know that...
...are you sure that Jodha is pregnant?
It has been twenty years since I have been doing this.
I haven't made a mistake till date.
And it has been even longer since I...
...have been a loyal servant of the sultanate.
If there is a problem of any kind...
...and I come to know that because of someone's fear...
...or because of a bribe...
...you have played a game...
...I will get you beheaded.
Lord, protect me. Would I have the guts...
...to make a mistake like that?
Generations of our family have been taking...
...care of the royal family.
The initial investigations show proof and signs...
-...that Jodha is pregnant. -What signs?
You are aware that because of pregnancy...
...women feel tiredness.
They feel irritable.
I told you I don't feel like it.
I hate all this.
Agra, the emperor and even that moment.
And everything that is related to Agra.
All of these will always be at the receiving end of my hatred.
Moti.
I feel amazed with myself.
Even after hearing such a big allegation...
...how am I alive?
Why didn't I kill myself?
Can anyone guess the pain when a husband...
...asks his own wife that whose child is being reared in her womb?
Disgusting.
I feel disgusting to have been married to such a man.
Moti.
In the family of Rajvanshis...
...if a man is defeated in a war...
...his wife commits self immolation...
...so that no other man can touch her.
So that even after death, her body is pure.
Such a disgusting allegation was...
...put on a woman of such dynasty.
And that too, by her own husband.
I want to die, Moti. I want to die.
Please calm down.
I can understand your pain.
But the baby isn't at fault in this, right?
The baby that is in your womb.
For the sake of that baby, please have something, Jodha.
No, Moti. All of this seems like poison to me.
The scents that she liked earlier...
...will make her feel restless today.
She feels nauseous.
She feels breathless.
Jodha.
What happened?
I don't know, Moti.
I am feeling very breathless.
Lord. I will call the doctor right away.
Yes.
That is not needed, Moti. Jodha is completely fine.
It does happen initially.
But there is a cure for this.
This powder of carom and fennel will make her feel better.
And this asafoetida powder will also improve her appetite.
I know about these symptoms.
Even I have kids and this had happened with me as well.
I want to know if there is something special or a special sign.
Or maybe these signs are seen in some other ailment as well.
I am asking you all this because...
...I am sure that Jodha....
Just tell me for a fact. Which month is it?
This is the first month.
"One month? This means that during the journey of Amer..."
"...or in Amer, Jodha got intimate with someone."
Thank you very much...
...for coming here.
Keep one thing in mind. The conversation that we just had,
should be confined to this room and between the two of us.
You are aware of the incident that had happened with Rukaiya.
I don't want that to be repeated.
We have to take care.
That is why don't let the word spread.
Keep it to yourself.
And....
Here's a small gift for you.
And yes. I forgot to ask you something.
What is the care needed for Jodha?
What are the medicines to be given to her?
Care about her food?
Anything special?
Not at all. And I am sure, the empress knows the basic care.
All mothers-in-law know how...
...to take care of their daughters-in-law at this time.
Sure.
All that is important is...
...that the woman should be happy during the pregnancy.
She should be at peace.
She should be at peace? Sure.
Thank you. For giving me good news.
I don't understand how Jodha can stay at peace.
Although Jalal told her on her face...
...that the child in her womb isn't his.
And yet she is at peace?
Greetings, Salima.
Is the milk for Rahim ready?
Yes, madam.
Greetings, Salima.
Greetings, Moti.
How is Jodha now?
She is just as she was feeling before.
I had come to take milk for her.
-Is her milk ready? -Yes, Moti.
Who is it? Who is that?
There is no one there, Salima begum.
I felt there is someone there.
Wait, Moti.
You are taking...
-...this milk for Jodha, right? -Yes.
Give it to me.
I felt there was someone here.
I just wanted to be sure that there is nothing wrong with the milk.
Thank you.
You care so much for Jodha.
Okay, I am leaving now.
Give me the milk for Rahim.
What? But Jodha is the queen of Moghul sultanate.
Since she is a queen of the Moghul sultanate...
...this act of hers will not be tolerated.
The doctor has confirmed the news of Jodha Begum's pregnancy.
And Jalal claims that the child in Jodha's womb...
...is not his.
Because Jalal hasn't even touched Jodha till date.
So Resham, what does it mean? Tell me.
Isn't this cheating?
Is this not lowliness?
Why don't you go and tell the emperor?
That he should send Jodha back.
Resham. One shouldn't use brains beyond their capacity.
I don't want to hurt Jalal.
But yes, I do want to make Jodha feel ashamed.
That is why do whatever I am asking you to do.
Did you understand?
Then why are you standing here?
Go.
"Maham Anga!"
Oh Lord. How did you dare to say that?
Your tongue will be cut off.
Let my tongue be cut off.
But for how long can one hide the truth?
Listen, there is surprising news.
What happened? Why did all of you become quiet on seeing me?
What is the matter?
How can the poor ones say anything?
Be clear with what you want to say.
Moti. We have heard that Jodha is pregnant.
But the child...
Child?
-What about the child? -The question is that...
...whether this child is really the emperor's child?
Keep quiet. Don't utter a word more.
Hey, if the emperor didn't spend the night with Jodha...
...did the angels leave this child in the womb of Jodha?
-Yes? -Don't you all feel ashamed?
You are spreading such a lowly rumor about your own queen?
Moti, there is no smoke without fire.
All we want to know is that who has ignited this fire?
Tell us.
-Tell us. -Tell us.
Tell us.
Tell us. Moti. Moti. Speak up.
Tell us. Moti. Moti. Tell us. Why are you quiet?
Don't keep quiet. Tell us.
Moti. What happened to you?
Why are you panting like this?
And why do you look so pale?
Did someone say anything to you?
No, Jodha....
I had gone to get medicines for you and I got late.
I came back running. And hence, I lost my breath.
Moti is lying.
"Maham Anga!"
Why would Moti lie to me?
Because how can the poor one tell you...
...whatever she has just heard?
How will she tell you about whatever is happening in the Harem?
How would she tell you about the rumors that are spread about you?
My brain has stopped functioning, Jodha.
I couldn't even imagine...
...how low can some people stoop to.
"Maham Anga!"
I don't understand anything.
What are you trying to say?
Even I cannot understand, Jodha.
How can someone have the guts to say something...
...so disgusting about the queen of the Moghul Sultanate?
If I get my hands on him, Jodha...
...I will hang him for sure.
Listen, I agree that you and I have different view points.
And we dislike each other. But it doesn't mean, Jodha...
...that I can listen to anything lowly about you and the emperor.
It is the job of people to talk.
But how can someone talk so lowly about the emperor and his wife...
...and his would be heir?
This is the reason that your maid couldn't say anything to you.
Because she and I are in the same condition.
What are you trying to say, Maham Anga?
Tell me clearly. I cannot understand anything.
Begum Jodha, people are saying that...
...the child in your womb...
...isn't the child of the emperor.
People are making conjecture...
...that you have an illicit relationship with someone else.
"Maham Anga!"
