This is not a conspiracy, this is a revolt, Bakshi.
Death is the only punishment for revolt.
Sharifuddin played a very dirty game with...
...Queen Jodha and me, but he even killed the herbalist.
As per the rules, it's an eye for an eye and life for life.
By the way, you are also an accomplice to the crime.
I will decree your punishment, tomorrow.
But for now, I will kill Sharifuddin.
Brother.
Brother. Brother.
For God's sake, brother.
For your sister's happiness, brother.
Forgive him.
You made a widow a bride.
Don't make her a widow again, brother.
Please, don't do this.
I love him a lot, brother.
I won't be able to endure it, if something happens to him.
Forgive me, Your Highness.
-I have important news for you. -Tell me.
Without a royal order, without any reasons or written notice...
...Chief officer Sharifuddin...
...has left the palace just now, with some horsemen.
Fine. Go.
If I wanted, I could have followed him and killed him.
But, I can imprison him, even later.
For now, I have to do something very important.
Come with me.
"He doesn't respect either the queen or the maid."
"Every woman is just a way for him to satisfy himself."
"In Amer, I used to abhor him, but, the person..."
"...I see here, makes my hatred pale in comparison."
Bakshi Bano.
What are you doing?
She is not a maid, she is your sister.
Why are you treating her like that?
Do you know, you are not going to become a mother, my lady?
What? What are you saying?
What kind of joke is this?
I am not joking, lady Jodha.
You are not pregnant. Bakshi Bano will that explain to you.
Maybe, when she tells you her story...
...then, you will understand it.
Tell her.
Forgive me, sister-in-law.
I committed a grave crime.
I wanted to tarnish your image.
You are not pregnant.
Sister-in-law, forgive me.
I didn't do all this, willingly.
Believe me. I was made to do it.
Bakshi Bano, for God's sake leave from here.
Leave me alone.
I've committed a grave crime.
I misunderstood the innocent king.
"You are the king of the Mughal empire."
"But, don't forget that I am a Rajput, too."
"No one has any right to slander..."
"...the honour and character of a Rajput woman..."
"...not even a king."
"Until today, I never said this to anyone."
"But today, I accept it in public, that I abhor you."
"What kind of a man are you, Your Highness?"
"First, you took undue advantage of my unconsciousness."
"Then, you got intimate with me, against my wish."
"I abhor you. I just abhor you."
Oh, God!
I can't believe, that Sharifuddin did all this!
Hoshiyar, if this is a lie, you won't be spared.
If what I said turns out to be false, then behead me, my lady.
What I said is absolutely true.
If this is true, Hoshiyar, it is a very a serious matter.
The herbalist has been killed.
It was not done by a stranger...
...but by Bakshi Bano's husband, Jalal's close aide...
...and his brother-in-law Sharifuddin.
Such grave conspiracies were hatched in the palace.
While I had no inkling.
It means, there was no relationship...
...between Queen Jodha and Jalal.
I was angry with him, unnecessarily.
I behaved so badly with him.
How did I even think that I will lose Jalal to lady Jodha?
A relationship does exist, my lady.
Even if it is based on trust.
Just imagine how much His Highness trusts lady Jodha.
He didn't even think that lady Jodha can be wrong.
To prove her right, he told lies...
...to Her Excellency and to you too, that...
...he had a physical relationship with lady Jodha.
Trust me.
His Highness has begun to like lady Jodha.
Keep quiet, insolent creature!
Don't say one word after this!
Now, I won't listen to anyone.
I will listen only to my heart.
Jalal is mine and no one can snatch him from me.
No one.
I will have to go and apologise to him...
...since I misunderstood him.
I will go right now and apologise to him.
What do you think, minister?
What punishment will His Highness give to Bakshi Bano?
Only His Highness can tell us about that, Resham.
Bakshi Bano is His Highness' sister.
She is his beloved sister.
I can understand what kind of dilemma...
...His Highness is facing right now.
There must be many questions on his mind...
...and he must be struggling with himself.
Attention. The king of India Jalaluddin Mohammad arrives.
Jalal.
Come.
Be patient, Jalal.
Just as I have come to you, Bakshi Bano...
...used to come to me whenever she was sad.
I used to be happy in her joy and sad when she endured sorrow.
Then, why did she do that with me?
Why did she make her own brother cry?
Those whom I consider as my kin...
...why do they behave like strangers with me, aunt?
First, it was Abul Mali, then, Sharifuddin and Bakshi.
My sister and brother-in-law.
A king doesn't have friends, Jalal.
A king has only enemies.
Then, why do these enemies don the guise of kin, aunt? Why?
I accept that the real culprit is Sharifuddin...
...but, my sister supported him.
I can raise my sword against my enemies...
...but, what punishment should I give to my own sister?
She calls me brother.
How can I kill her?
A war is going on inside me, aunt.
Between a king and a brother.
No matter who wins, I will lose, aunt. I will lose.
I will lose.
Mother.
Mother, listen to me.
Don't call me mother. Don't call me that!
Control yourself, sister-in-law.
She is your daughter.
Is this what daughters do?
Daughters make their mothers...
...proud, when they think about them.
Before her name, the tales of her goodness and virtues...
...reach her mother and father.
What kind of a daughter is she, Gulbadan?
She has mortified her mother.
She has back stabbed her brother.
She has tarnished her innocent sister-in-law's image.
No, Gulbadan.
Daughters are like lady Jodha.
Jalal did so much for you! And you...
Mother, forgive me.
You can't be forgiven for your crime, Bakshi Bano.
Look at yourself and ask yourself.
Are you my daughter...
...who could lay down her life for her brother?
Are these the values I have taught you?
Is this what my upbringing amounts to?
If that is the case, I am ashamed of my upbringing.
After today, I won't see your face...
...until Jalal decides your punishment.
When it comes to forgiveness...
...don't have any hopes from me.
Greetings, lady Jodha.
Hello.
Come in.
Sit down.
Lady Salima, I regard you so highly, that...
...I don't have the courage to sit with you.
Really.
What you did for me, I would have also...
...done the same for Sukanya, as an elder sister.
I don't know how to thank you.
Since you have spoken about sisters, lady Jodha...
...then, why say thanks?
You are a fine example of being sensible.
While you are loyalty personified.
Lady Jodha, I was able to do all this...
...because, I trusted your loyalty and your innocence.
Your honesty forced me to support you.
Maybe, the honesty that showed on your face...
...convinced His Highness that you are chaste.
I am happy, lady Jodha, that His Highness...
...didn't commit any mistake.
He gave you justice, and accorded you all due respect.
But, I am not happy, lady Salima.
I misunderstood His Highness.
I spoke very harshly to him.
That is why, you will have to be careful...
...in the future, lady Jodha.
A husband and wife's relationship is very delicate.
I agree, that you committed a mistake...
...but, the circumstances were responsible for that.
Secondly, you are mature.
I believe you know how to treat your husband.
Lady Jodha, just do whatever you have in mind.
Don't think too much about it.
Because, many times over thinking weakens decisions.
Thank you so much, lady Salima.
You've explained a lot in a few words.
Goodbye.
Shower Your grace on His Highness...
...and lady Jodha's relationship, Almighty Lord.
May His Highness live long!
Lady Jodha wants to meet you, sire.
Your Highness, I...
I know what you want to say, lady Jodha.
You were shamed because of my sister Bakshi Bano.
But, to be honest, I am more ashamed than you.
My sister, who is of my own blood committed a mistake...
...that can't be forgiven.
That is why, I apologise to you for your insult.
I apologise to you, Your Highness.
Not for Bakshi Bano's crime, for my crime.
I misunderstood you. I thought, that you are bad.
I started to abhor you much more than before.
I even said that you deserve only hatred...
...and you don't have any humanity in you.
But now, I don't understand. What kind of man are you?
Who are you?
Lady Jodha, I am a person, whose humanity...
...was killed in a war, when he was just 14 years old.
I am a person who doesn't have a heart.
I am a person who can't trust anyone.
I am a person who can make...
...any woman his own whenever he desires.
But today, I don't know why...
...I trust only one woman.
I trust her innocence and her character.
But, why do you trust me so much?
I don't know why, lady Jodha.
I just trust you.
Maybe, a voice inside me said that you are innocent.
Maybe, I have seen the honesty in your eyes.
Maybe, there is some other reason.
But, whatever it is, I trust you.
I scolded and cursed you so much...
...since I thought, that you are ruining my honour.
But, from the very beginning you were protecting it.
So that, the real culprit would be exposed.
I was ruining my dignity and you were protecting it.
Forgive me, Your Highness.
Don't apologise, lady Jodha.
If it were anyone else but you...
...she would have also done the same.
But, I want to tell you not to be under the wrong impression.
Don't think what I did was because I love you.
No. No. Not at all.
I don't love you.
I did it because I didn't want anyone...
...to play such a dirty trick on a king's wife.
Because, no one has the courage...
...to tarnish a king's wife's image.
I am truly thankful to you.
You didn't let my soul, my reputation...
...and my existence get tarnished.
Thank you.
At least, have a cold drink, my lady.
I don't feel like drinking it.
Drink something.
I told you, I don't want it.
Leave from here.
You are dismissed.
The last time, I told you to leave me alone.
If you also want that, then tell me. I will go away.
I won't feel bad.
I have lost every right to say anything to you, sister-in-law.
You are calling me sister-in-law...
...and you don't have the right to say anything to me!
Can I ask you something?
I don't understand, why did a good woman like you...
...help your husband in such a task?
Even if Sharifuddin was forcing you...
...why didn't you tell His Highness everything, truthfully?
For the sake of love, sister-in-law.
For the sake of the person whom I love very much.
The fear that maybe I will lose him made me helpless.
That may have never happened.
And just due to that fear, you did all this.
I guess, you won't understand my fear, sister-in-law.
I lost my husband once.
It was beyond my endurance to endure that sorrow again.
I love Sharifuddin very much.
I can do anything for him.
I can kill myself or kill someone else too.
I don't have any grudge against you.
But, I did this anyway.
I slandered you.
So that, I don't lose my husband's love.
What kind of love is this?
You had no sense of what's right or wrong.
You were ready to destroy yourself.
Maybe, you won't be able to understand it, sister-in-law.
Maybe, there is not much love between you and brother.
But, the truth is that there is no limit to love.
A person crosses every limit.
I did the same thing.
I didn't know the reason or the result.
I didn't know why Sharifuddin wanted to do that.
What would he gain by separating brother and you?
He alone has the answers to these questions.
And he is not here.
And who knows?
He may or may not be able to come here.
I can't understand.
Does a person in love reach the limit...
...that he is ready to destroy himself...
...and risk his existence?
I don't have the answers to all these questions.
Tell me, lady Jodha. How did you call me?
I met Bakshi Bano, just now.
I am pondering about something.
Is it right for a wife to love her husband so much?
So much so, that she doesn't know the difference...
...between right and wrong?
I also loved my first fianc� Suryabhan.
But, I didn't love him as much as Bakshi Bano loves Sharifuddin.
I don't understand whether...
...Bakshi Bano is the culprit or the victim.
Have you ever thought about it, lady Jodha?
The greatest evil was once the greatest goodness.
That's what happens in love, too.
When someone loves a person a lot and he is at a crossroads...
...where one path leads to goodness...
...and the other to his love...
...he walks on the path of love.
It is very difficult to live without the one whom you love.
In my case, His Highness asked for your suggestion.
You showed him the way.
Lady Salima, now you guide me.
What should I do so that I can save Bakshi Bano?
Only one person can save Bakshi Bano.
That person is His Highness himself.
Greetings, my lady.
Both of you have been called to the court.
His Highness is going to announce the...
...judgement on Bakshi Bano's case.
You go ahead. We will be there.
Beware. Pay attention.
The great emperor of India Jalaluddin Muhammad is arriving.
No one can understand this better than me...
...that Jalal has never faced a tougher time in his life.
Today, he will have to punish the sister he loves the most.
All of you must be wondering why...
...I have called for this meeting, today.
What did my sister Bakshi Bano do...
...for which she will be punished?
I wish to tell all of you that my sister Bakshi Bano...
...has committed a crime.
She led us to believe that lady Jodha is pregnant.
In reality, lady Jodha is not pregnant.
Like all of you, I also want the Mughal empire to get its heir.
But...
...but today, I want to announce in front of everyone...
...that lady Jodha is not pregnant.
The empire will have to wait for its heir.
But, the day I get this good fortune...
...I will inform the subjects, personally.
But, today...
...I will punish my sister Bakshi Bano.
For a king, justice is above everything.
When he sits on his throne, he severs his ties with everyone.
Today, the culprit standing in front of me...
...is my sister.
My issue is...
...that, I may give her a punishment...
...which the subjects may feel is too lenient.
They may feel that a sister's love outweighed justice for a king.
So, I won't punish her.
The one against whom she has committed this crime...
...will punish her. I want lady Jodha to...
...come in front of everyone and punish her.
Lady Jodha, come and deliver justice.
Today, the king within Jalal...
...couldn't defeat Bakshi Bano's brother.
That's why, he handed this decision to lady Jodha.
Now, Bakshi's destiny will reveal...
...what decision Jodha will take.
I want Bakshi Bano to come in front of me.
Lady Jodha, as the king I hereby command you...
...to give her the punishment, today.
I didn't expect the King to hand over this responsibility to me.
It's a very cruel moment for me.
But, if the culprit is not punished...
...it is like supporting him...
...which in itself is a crime.
So, Bakshi Bano will surely be punished.
Because of her, I had to endure a lot of humiliation...
...and emotional pain.
Because of her, I had to endure the wrath of...
...Her Excellency and His Highness.
Bakshi Bano should be punished for this.
People live for each other in a family.
They try to make each other happy.
Bakshi Bano is a member of our family.
So that makes her crime much more serious.
When a child makes a mistake, his parents scold him.
At times, they slap him.
They don't alienate him from themselves.
Bakshi Bano's punishment is that...
...she will always have to be my kin.
Yes, Bakshi Bano.
Your punishment is that I have pardoned you.
I know that the people present here...
...may find my decision strange.
But according to me, there can't be...
...a greater punishment than this.
Because, usually when a culprit is punished...
...he is released from his guilt.
But, atonement will keep this pain, this guilt...
...alive in Bakshi Bano's heart forever.
It will remind her that she has made a grave mistake.
She has hurt her family and her brother...
...who is like a father figure, very badly.
Your Highness, I have considered it and...
...punished Bakshi Bano.
Your order was obeyed.
I accept lady Jodha's decision.
She may have forgiven Bakshi Bano.
But, she is my culprit too.
She has hurt her brother.
So, today, I announce in front of everyone...
...that now, I don't share any bond with Bakshi Bano.
I announce that from today she is not my sister.
I want her to go away from my sight.
"What have you done, Your Highness?"
"I never wanted any chasm between brother and sister."
"That was wrong."
"You have given Bakshi Bano a punishment...
...worse than the death penalty."
Jodha.
What happened, Moti? Why are you smiling so much?
It's such joyous news.
Jodha, the people who were talking nonsense about you...
...in the women's quarter...
...are praising you, today.
In the women's quarter, it's very unusual...
...for someone to praise a person.
Everyone is saying the same thing.
Lady Jodha is so kind.
I am very happy.
Whatever decision I took was all because of my lord.
He granted me the good sense.
Pay attention.
The Emperor of India Jalaluddin Muhammad is arriving.
Greetings, Your Highness.
Queen Jodha, you often come to me with a question.
Today, I will ask you a question.
Why did you forgive Bakshi Bano?
When I am angry with her, my mother is angry with her...
...all the ministers, subjects, priests...
...have accepted that she is your culprit...
...in spite of that you forgave her. Why?
The answer to your question is hidden in my question.
What would have made you happy, Your Highness?
Punishing your sister or forgiving her?
Lady Jodha, no question is answered with a question.
Your Highness, if someone hurts you...
...it is not necessary to hurt him back.
I don't know, whether you will understand this or not.
But, the fact is that Bakshi Bano loves her husband a lot.
A person loses control in love.
She does what her lover tells her to do.
Whether it's right or wrong, suitable or unsuitable...
...she is oblivious to it.
That's what happened with Bakshi Bano.
When I went to meet her...
...I felt sympathy as well as envy for her.
Maybe, I can't do what she has done.
Maybe, I will never be able to do it.
To be so madly in love with someone...
...that you forget your identity.
It's difficult. That's why when Bakshi Bano is not guilty...
...then, why should I punish her?
Yes. It's your brother-in-law Sharifuddin's fault.
He took undue advantage of her love.
That too against you.
He used Bakshi Bano as a puppet.
So when you gave me the right to decide...
...I forgave Bakshi Bano.
As it is, she is suffering the punishment.
Double the punishment.
Firstly, the husband for whom she did all this...
...is not with her, today.
Secondly, the brother who loves her so much...
...has severed all ties with her.
Lady Jodha, relations are not considered...
...when it comes to justice.
I admit, that she is my sister.
To avoid mixing relationships with justice...
...I gave you the right to do justice.
Your Highness, she is related to me, too.
She is my sister-in-law.
I have hurt as much as you.
But when I have forgiven her, why don't you forgive her?
You also should forgive her.
Never.
You have feelings. I don't have any, lady Jodha.
The duty of a king is to give punishment.
I have punished her by severing all ties with her.
Your Highness, if relationships could break so easily...
...our relationship would have broken off, a long time ago.
But, my bond of hatred and revenge has not broken yet.
While, Bakshi Bano and you are siblings.
How will this bond break?
The tears in your eyes are witness to the fact...
...that you and Bakshi Bano share a bond.
As long as these tears exist, your relationship won't break.
You tell lies, Your Highness.
You lie to everyone, that you don't have feelings.
If you didn't have feelings, there wouldn't...
...have been tears in your eyes, either.
All of you may have a seat.
Today, Jalal presented his justification...
...on behalf of lady Jodha in the court.
Now, I want no discussion about this in the women's quarter.
Maham Anga, I hand over this responsibility to you.
Your wish is my command, Your Excellency.
Henceforth this topic won't be mentioned in the women's quarter.
I take this responsibility.
But, how will we silence the subjects?
The subjects are hoping that the heir...
...of the Mughal empire is going to be born.
When they will find out that lady Jodha...
...is not going to give birth to the heir of the Mughal empire...
...the subjects will feel that we are playing with their feelings.
It might give rise to more rumours about...
...His Highness and lady Jodha.
You are right, minister.
How many people will we silence?
Everybody.
Mother, I will answer the subjects' questions myself.
Jalal, that's not possible.
So I will make it possible, aunt.
Just as I revealed the truth to everyone in the court...
...similarly, I will reveal the truth to the subjects, too.
Because, it's important for the subjects to know...
...how lady Jodha was once a victim of a conspiracy.
Similarly, she was victimised, again.
No.
I mean to say, you will have to embarrass yourself...
...in front of so many subjects.
I won't let that happen, Jalal.
Why would I feel embarrassed, aunt?
I have not committed any crime.
I have merely saved an innocent person from a culprit's conspiracy.
The subjects are mine. The empire is mine.
The kingdom is mine.
I have done a lot for their well-being and happiness.
So what, if their hopes were shattered once?
I know.
People will sympathise with me. They will share my pain.
They might even taunt me.
But despite all this, I won't let lady Jodha be ridiculed.
Emperor Jalaluddin Muhammad!
Glory to him!
Glory to the Mughal empire!
Glory to it!
Glory to the King!
Glory to him!
Emperor Jalaluddin Muhammad!
Glory to him!
I am very fortunate to have loving subjects like you.
I am thankful to God.
With His grace, today I can proudly say...
...that I have ruled not only you, your land, but also your heart.
I can say that I have made you proud of the Mughal empire.
My God knows that I did everything possible...
...to grant my subjects everything that is a king's duty.
Today, I regret...
...that...I couldn't fulfil one of your hopes.
I couldn't...
...give you an heir to this empire.
"I have never seen Jalal feeling so mortified."
"I will never forgive you, Bakshi Bano."
A king has no control over life and death.
Only God has a right to it.
I don't know what He has written in my destiny.
But, I know a king's duty very well.
It is my duty to tell the subjects the truth.
So today, I have called all of you here.
To tell you that...
...your king is not going to become a father.
None of my wives are pregnant.
The Mughal empire will have to wait for its heir.
I know that after hearing this news...
...most of the people will be dejected.
I also know that after hearing this news...
...some of my enemies will celebrate.
But, I am not dejected.
So what, if Jalaluddin doesn't have a child?
But, I would surely like to say a King is never childless.
Because for a King, his subjects, his kingdom...
...are his family, his children.
All of you are my children.
All of you are my family.
The king who has countless people to love him...
...who come to him at one word from him...
...doesn't regret being childless.
I don't have any grievances. You also shouldn't have any.
-Emperor Jalaluddin Muhammad! -Glory to him!
Glory to the Mughal empire!
-Glory to the King! -Glory to him!
