Here's the offering.
I was returning from the temple.
I saw you here, so I came to give you the offering.
You're angry with me not with the offering.
Take it.
Now, tell me what you didn't like yesterday.
You silently humiliated my soul.
What do you mean?
Do I need to explain this to you?
What do you think?
I won't understand the meaning behind...
...gifting me that cradle?
Being silent, you've taunted me...
...that I've failed to give an heir to the Mughal empire.
What an irony.
Your mother gifts me the ancestral necklace...
...for the cradle and you're taking...
...that cradle as your failure?
The problem is with your view point not with my cradle.
What do you mean?
Is my point of view wrong?
Yes, of course.
You took my best wishes as a taunt.
And actually Benazir's painting...
...was not worth a prize.
Your portrait is never saleable in the market.
But you still awarded her.
So, your point of view is wrong.
So, accept that you're hurt because I'm giving...
...more importance to Benazir than you.
Not me, but everyone is talking.
That in a very less time...
...Benazir has become very dear to you.
Jodha begum, I'm an emperor.
I don't need to clarify everyone...
...what I'm doing or what are my likes and dislikes.
And actually, your point of view is wrong.
I trusted you. I went against everyone for you.
And what did you do in return?
You disrespected me in the market.
You questioned my manliness.
Not only of an emperor but you've insulted a husband.
Being your husband, I've every right on you.
But no.
Before talking about my point of view...
...you better think of yours.
That will be better.
His Highness, you...
Moti, where were you?
I was arranging for your bath.
There I met Bela.
The one who gives everyone beauty products.
She was distributing some new pack over there.
She said this pack will bring a glow on skin.
And one's beauty will shine.
In winter, almond oil based pack is really beneficial.
Everyone was taking it.
Is it? Where's it?
I didn't bring it. I told her Jodha begum...
...does not need any pack for her beauty.
She's already beautiful.
Liar. Yesterday you were praising Benazir.
OK, tell me one thing, Moti.
Does everyone praise Benazir's beauty?
Yes. She's beautiful.
But only beauty will not help.
That's why you got the ancestral necklace and not her.
Yes, that's right.
If that's the case then why are you not happy?
But the diamond that His Highness has gifted her...
Look, I think you're too worried about Benazir.
No, I've no objection with Benazir.
I'm thinking about His Highness' words.
His words left me pensive.
I think I've formed a wrong opinion about him.
He speaks bitter.
But his words might be true.
It's possible that from my side...
...from my behaviour, he has received...
...unsuitable indications.
In that case, why don't you talk to him openly?
Yes, I also want to
apologise for my rudeness.
But he's not talking to me.
Because you're not trying.
Your focus is more on Benazir...
...and less on His Highness.
Change your focus, you'll definitely find an opportunity.
Yes, may be you're right, Moti.
I should be focused on His Highness and not on Benazir.
Come on, hurry up. I'm getting late.
Be careful, my father has sent this shawl from Amer.
It'll get dirty if it falls down.
I don't know all that. Hurry up.
Rahim, walk slowly, you're running.
You're elder to me. Can't you walk with a kid?
Run and catch me.
Hey, Rahim.
-Salutations, His Highness. -Salutations.
I thought you called me here alone.
I too didn't know. You please play with him.
I'll take your leave.
Stop! I've work with both of you.
Why? What's that work, Rahim?
I want to fly a kite.
Both of you have mastered this art.
That's why I called you.
I didn't fly kite since many days.
But it's very cold, Rahim.
If we stay out in this weather, we might catch cold.
Why will I catch a cold...
...when His Highness isn't? Right, His Highness?
What if I say, even I feel cold?
Anyone can catch a cold, Rahim.
And if you'll fall sick, Salima begum will get angry on me...
...that I didn't take care of you.
I understood. Both of you don't wish to fly a kite, right?
Never mind.
Weather will change someday.
Then you must fly a kite with me.
-Promise? -Yes.
Sorry to disturb, Your Highness.
Rahim, my child. Salima begum is calling you.
Yes, she's always looking for me.
By the way, its really very cool, isn't it?
That's why I ordered this shawl from Amer.
How's it?
Really... it's very nice. Beautiful colour.
It'll give warmth in cold weather.
Do you like it?
Yes, of course.
So, keep it.
Thank you that you liked it.
In fact I should thank you.
I was wondering what should I do...
...to save Benazir from the cold.
I was thinking of ordering such a beautiful shawl for her.
And look, you brought it.
This is a perfect gift for Benazir.
His Highness likes this garden a lot, right?
Yes, I heard that His Highness...
...spends a lot of time over here.
What are you doing?
Why did you block her way?
Don't you know her?
She's His Highness' dearest.
His Highness has entitled her with Kohinoor.
I'm sorry for the misbehaviour of our guards.
I'll take you through the other route.
Guards will drop you with your things.
I'm well expert in taking care of my things and my work.
My job is to protect my ma"am and be with her.
Alright. You too come along.
If you don't mind, shall I say something to you?
You're very beautiful.
I know. Tell me something new.
Alright. Let me tell you about my feelings.
I've gone crazy ever since I saw you.
People generally feel like that after seeing me.
But my condition is a little different.
I think of you all the time.
Do me a favour. Spend an evening with me.
You'll not regret for that evening.
You'll regret if I tell His Highness...
...how you behaved with his special guest.
And that you asked for an evening with me.
Why do you talk to him?
He thinks he can take advantage of his position.
I think he doesn't love his life.
Let's complain to His Highness about you.
Hey, you. Keep away from me.
Her name is Zakira.
Have some manners.
Don't belittle her physical traits.
She knows well how to take care of my beauty.
And you will soon know my strength...
...when I'll meet His Highness.
You got angry.
You know that anyone can fall for your beauty.
So, I too am one of those.
No need to go to His Highness.
Take me as your crazy fan and forgive me.
I swear henceforth, I won't cross your path.
But end this issue right here.
-Please forgive me. -You made a big mistake.
But you got to know your limit and status very soon.
So, go away. I forgave you.
You should have complained to His Highness about him.
No, Zakira.
I've come here to fulfil my aim not to make enemies.
And the poor guy is not at fault.
My beauty is such that affects anyone.
Now I just have to cast a spell on Jalal.
Javeda!
Mother, how do I look?
You don't believe that even I look so beautiful, right?
I always knew that.
I too can look beautiful like Benazir.
Javeda, won't you be jinxed...
...if you adorn so much?
God! You really care for me.
But this time, you don't worry at all.
I'll always put a black mark on my head.
Now, no one's evil eye will be cast on me.
By the way, if I walk in the palace in this dress...
...everyone will get stunned...
...just as they were stunned seeing Benazir.
People were stunned to see Benazir.
But if people will think of your foolishness, they'll die.
You need a brain and not beauty.
What's the use of a brain, mother?
Smart people only become ministers.
But those with beauty, become a begum.
Quiet! You're talking too much, Javeda.
Enough now. Go and change your dress.
God, I never knew that my mother-in-law too...
...will be jealous of my beauty.
Are you too jealous of me?
If you don't change now...
Alright. I'll change.
Why do you get angry?
I think I'll again have to cook sweet vermicelli for you.
Where were you when Adam Khan was marrying her?
Sometimes people do make mistakes.
And no one can get the idea of the mind by seeing the beauty.
OK, it's good that her behaviour is limited to all this.
She's happy in her own world.
Yes, Javeda is happy in her small world.
But I... I want to rule all of India.
You're already doing that, minister.
No, Resham.
It's easy to gain the crown and a position...
...but very difficult to maintain them.
When His Highness' wives cast a spell on him...
...people like us just remain as their pawn.
But I'm not a pawn.
I'm the minister.
And I'll be the one.
Maham Anga!
Now, it's time for my special message.
Yes, everything is ready.
Long time has passed since we've come from Kabul.
Yes, mother would be worried about her daughter.
Here, write a letter to her.
What do I do, mother?
I can't concentrate anywhere.
Why do you remain angry with me?
You dwell in my heart.
Why do you make me a stranger?
Why did you forget me?
Why my maternal house is left behind, mother?
The deer is wandering around the forests...
...your crazy daughter is surprised.
Benazir, from the royal harem, Agra.
I hope no one will be able to understand what it means.
No!
Because I've written something...
...which indicates a different message.
People feel I only have beauty.
And they get lost in my beauty.
They fail to understand that I also have a sharp brain.
I'll send this message to your mother.
May I come in with your permission, Your Highness?
Permission granted.
I thought you'll say that this Kohinoor doesn't need...
...to take his permission to come to him.
You must remember that I'm an emperor.
And there are some rules to come and sit with me.
Everyone has to follow it.
I'm sorry for my misbehaviour.
But you don't seem to be in a good mood today.
Come, I'll fix your mood.
I don't feel like drinking.
By the way, what brings you here? What do you want from me?
Your life.
My life?!
Yes.
I wanted to snatch a few moments of your life.
Actually, I was intending to steal your heart.
But I heard that His Highness doesn't have a heart.
The heart is priceless, Benazir.
Anyway, I've gifted you more valuable things to you.
You're right, Your Highness.
Mughal empire's emperor has given...
...so much respect to this woman.
What else do I want?
In return, if I can please you for some time...
...then I'll feel lucky.
I'm very busy right now, Benazir. I want to be alone.
I'll call you if I need you.
Right now you can go and rest.
Alright! As you order, Your Highness. Goodbye!
My aim is not to spend a night with you, Benazir.
But to make Jodha begum jealous.
Nazima begum wants to send a woollen shawl to her house.
Hoshiyar Khan wants to send some clothes to the tailor.
His Highness' special guest Benazir's letter...
...needs to be sent to Kabul to her mother.
"His Highness has given her a suitable title."
"Kohinoor."
"What a shine!"
"God has made her in leisure."
"I know that she's His Highness' special."
"But I still feel attracted to her."
"I hope I'm not in love with her."
What do I do, mother?
I can't concentrate anywhere.
Why do you remain angry with me?
You dwell in my heart.
Why do you make me a stranger?
Why did you forget me?
Why my maternal house is left behind, mother?
The deer is wandering around the forests...
...your crazy daughter is surprised.
Benazir, from royal harem, Agra.
What sort of a letter is this in poetic words?
Anyway...
Work is not yet done!
Oh my God!
This is a message.
Benazir is here with some motive.
That's why she's sending this message secretly.
But where? And to whom?
Benazir is not an ordinary person.
She wants to play some game hidden behind her beauty.
Salutations, His Highness!
Jodha begum wants to see you.
Let her come.
Come, Jodha begum.
I was waiting for you.
I knew that after knowing about my leg injury...
...you'll come with a special paste of herbs for me.
Now, apply it.
His Highness has many maids to work for him.
Then why does he need me?
Disperse.
I forgot to tell you.
Benazir was thanking you.
She liked the shawl that you gave her.
My father had sent that shawl especially for me.
I gifted it to you.
Had I known that you'll gift it to someone else...
...I'd have never given it to you.
I'm really sorry to know this, Jodha begum.
But I'm helpless.
I can't take back that shawl from Benazir.
It'll be against my prestige as an emperor, Jodha begum.
Emperor's mother Hamida begum is arriving.
Greetings, mother.
Salutations, mother.
Keep sitting. Keep sitting, Jalal.
I heard you injured your leg? Show me.
Nothing to worry, mother.
I got hurt while practising the sword fight.
By the way, the Mughals have old ties with the wounds.
And don't you worry, mother.
Jodha begum has brought her special paste for me.
Mother, explain her something.
She is insisting to apply it on my leg herself.
Tell her. We've so many maids here.
And if the Mughal empire's begum would do this, it won't look good.
You won't understand it now, Jalal.
Every wife desires to serve her husband.
It's not wrong.
Jodha! You can do as you like.
But, mother. She's the Mughal empire's begum.
Enough, Jalal. Over here, your orders will not be followed.
Jodha, apply the paste, my child.
Yes, mother.
You'll have to do as I wish, Jodha begum.
Whenever I want, I can make you bend at my feet.
Had mother not been here...
...I'd never have allowed you to do as you like.
I'll do as I wish.
It's me who's injured and I can see the pain...
...on your face, Jodha begum.
OK, I'll leave now.
Jodha is here to look after you.
What do you think of yourself?
You'll do as you like? You'll make others do as you like?
I won't let that happen.
Jalal!
Mother, look, she's getting angry over a trivial issue.
Why would I not?
Look, mother. The wound is so deep.
And he's still insisting to go out.
Isn't this obstinacy?
Jodha begum is right, Jalal. You must rest here.
Actually, I forgot to tell you something.
There is a message.
Mirza Hakim has left from Kabul for Agra.
I received the message, mother.
A messenger from Delhi had come.
He told me that he'll be in Agra by day after tomorrow.
Did you try to get up again?
What do I do? I'm an emperor.
This minor injury can't stop me.
And there are many works to do in family court today.
But how will you reach there?
Don't worry, mother.
Jodha begum is there.
I'll reach the family court with her support.
Come, Jodha begum.
You'd never listen to anyone.
Mother told you that it'll pain but you still walked.
Instead of an emperor, you should have been...
...an actor or an imposter.
You always keep playing with me.
Seeing mother there, you made me do as you like.
You knew that I'll not be able...
...to say anything in front of mother.
But mother is not here. Then why did you support me?
Because you're injured.
And it's our culture to help injured.
Now, don't worry, Jodha begum. Someone to lend me support is here.
Salutations, Your Highness.
I got to know that you've injured your leg.
Yes, but don't worry.
The medication is done.
And the wound will heal soon, OK?
Now you won't need me anymore.
Come, Benazir. Help me. Come close to me. Come!
Benazir, I think you should let it be. I'll go on my own.
You're not considering me special.
You're only pretending that I'm special to you.
You're using me.
Whereas my aim is to come close to you.
Before it's too late, I must find some solution.
What? Mirza Hakim has come?
You know what, Hoshiyar?
He's very young to me by age.
In childhood he used to be Jalal and my toy.
We used to play together a lot.
Who's this Hakim Mirza?
Everyone is happy for his arrival.
He's His Highness' younger brother.
He's your uncle.
Is he going to arrive soon?
Yes.
Then we too must be there to welcome my brother-in-law.
Your second son is arriving.
I wish you'd be alive.
You'd dance in joy on the news of his arrival.
Just recently I mentioned about Mirza Hakim...
...in the biography of Humayun.
And now see, he's coming to Agra.
Hakim is really a sweet child.
Stop!
You go from here.
She'll be with me.
Let me clarify.
I've forgiven your misbehaviour once.
If you try do that again, I'll go to His Highness.
But today the matter is different.
You wanted to send that message to Kabul...
...to your mother, right?
-Yes, so? -Tell me one thing.
Which language do you use at home?
If you're a Muslim, you'll use Urdu.
If you're from Kabul, you'll use Pashtu.
But there's no such language used in your letter.
I didn't get you.
Come, I'll explain you now.
The first letter of "I can't concentrate anywhere."..
...is "I."..
"Why do you remain angry with me?" is "W."
"You dwell in my heart." the first letter is "Y."
"Why do you make me a stranger?"
The first letter is "W."
In this way the message says that...
The work is not yet done!
Which work you're talking about?
Why have you come here?
You thought the letter will go out so easily?
And we will not even know?
We're appointed here to decode such messages...
...and inform His Highness.
But what difference does it make...
...if I use any language in a letter to my mother?
I haven't done anything.
You're cooking up stories from your end and...
Tell me clearly which job you're talking about.
And who's your mother...
...who loves to read letters in poetic language?
Tell me the truth.
Otherwise, I'll prove the same thing to His Highness.
And your beautiful face will be beheaded for betrayal.
What do you think?
If you'll go to His Highness, he'll believe you?
I'm his special guest.
I too am not an ordinary person.
I'm also a special employee of the empire.
I'm a royal postman.
Look, I'm just a servant. A slave here.
Why are you after me?
I haven't hid any message.
Alright. I believe you.
I won't go to His Highness.
But what will I gain in return?
Shall I suggest a beneficial deal?
One night.
Give me one night of your life.
And His Highness will never know about this.
I'll end the matter right here.
Tonight I'll wait for you in the basement...
...that stores secret messages.
Do come.
If you come, His Highness will never know anything.
But if you won't come, His Highness will...
...definitely get this message.
You're sensible.
After all you're His Highness' special slave.
I can't force you.
The decision is yours. You may go.
The message proved beneficial to me.
Jodha begum!
Did you see Rahim somewhere around?
He keeps playing hide and seek all the time.
I wonder where he's hiding now.
These days Rahim is getting naughty day by day.
You please sit here. I'll send someone to look for him.
Listen, Sumitra.
Just see where Rahim is hiding.
By the way, shall I say something, Jodha begum?
You're worth praises.
Yesterday you gave...
...His Highness the rarest gift of his life.
But it didn't impress His Highness.
He liked his portrait more than that.
That's why he awarded Benazir.
I gave him the cradle with my best wishes.
But he gave more importance to his ego...
...than my well wishes.
Don't take it seriously.
Because you've given His Highness your best wishes...
...for a heir to the Mughal empire.
You just see, your prayer will soon be heard.
God will prove your gift right.
And I too will wish both of you to be three soon.
It seems you're weak in maths, Salima begum.
Before two to become three...
...two need to be united.
You're right, Jodha begum.
Before two become three...
...two need to be united.
But to be united, a wife's responsibility...
...is more than her husband.
How to get your husband, how to win him.
How to incorporate his identity in oneself.
It's a wife's responsibility, Jodha begum.
You're very intelligent in mathematics, right?
Then it should be easier for you to solve this question.
Because calculation of love, bond and trust is...
...very easy, Jodha begum.
I really feel good talking to you, Salima begum.
Every time I get to know something different.
Get to learn something different.
Shall I tell you one more thing, Jodha begum?
Anger is never greater than time.
You just watch. His Highness' anger will also subside soon.
His disappointment for you, and your anger for him...
...will soon subside.
I'll pray for everything to be alright between the two of you.
Now allow me to leave.
Otherwise Rahim will keep playing.
Goodbye!
Bye!
Salutations, His Highness.
Benazir's maid Zakira wants to see you.
Let her in. I've called her.
Salutations, emperor.
I want to talk to you about Benazir.
"God! I hope Maksood Khan didn't tell His Highness...
...about the message."
Tell me, emperor. What's your order?
First of all, tell me why you're scared.
If His Highness would call me suddenly...
...naturally I'd feel scared.
I hope I haven't committed any mistake.
No, actually my younger brother Mirza Hakim...
...is coming to Agra after 2 days.
And I want Benazir to make the event...
...of his welcome more lively.
Thank God he's not coming tonight.
She'll be alright in two days.
What do you mean?
I spoke to her in the morning. She was fine till then.
She got to know about your wounds...
...so she came down.
Otherwise, she's not feeling well since last night.
She has a severe fever.
I've given her medicines.
I'm sure she'll be alright and be there...
...in the event after two days.
Give her my message. Tell her to take care of her health.
As you order, emperor.
Goodbye!
So, Benazir is suffering with fever.
Good news.
When Jodha begum can make a paste for me then...
What nonsense is this, Javeda?
I had sent you a message to come...
...and meet me in my room.
But you didn't come.
What do I make of this?
Should I personally come to your room to see you?
It's not that, mother.
Actually I can't come out.
That's why I didn't come.
You can't come out?
The one, who keeps wandering...
...in the palace the entire day...
...she can't come out of the room?
That's why you didn't come to see me.
Do you mean to say that?
And why have you taken the veil?
-Take it off. -No, mother.
Javeda?!
I said take the veil off.
Javeda, take the veil off. Oh God!
It's me, mother. Javeda. Your daughter-in-law.
-How? -I wanted...
...to look beautiful like Benazir.
And I applied the pack and this is the result.
Had I gone out with such a face...
...then people would say that Maham Anga's...
...daughter-in-law has become ugly.
But, Javeda, you should have gone to the lady doctor. You fool!
But I will have to go out for that too.
You did the right thing...
...that you didn't go out with this face.
Otherwise, the lady doctor would faint...
...and I'd have to invite another lady doctor.
God, who has entered in Javeda begum's room.
It's me, Resham Khan.
Your father must have named you something.
She's Javeda, Resham.
Oh my God! Javeda begum?! Like this?
I wanted to become Benazir. But I became a joker.
Mother! What will happen now?
I'll do something. OK, Javeda?
Now keep quiet.
Resham, go and get the lady doctor.
Didn't you hear me, Resham?
-Go and call the lady doctor. -Yes.
Silly!
Not you... I said that for Resham.
Everything will be fine.
But I don't know how much time it'll take.
Leave all that, mother.
I'm worried about all those women...
...whom I sold this pack in the market.
What will happen to them?
Resham!
If you wanted the paste you'd have sent a message.
I'd have sent it through some maid.
One must rest after applying the herbs.
If you'll keep wondering, how will your wound heal?
I didn't come here for myself but for Benazir.
The poor girl is not well.
I know how unwell she is.
She's moving around in the palace.
That doesn't mean the person is keeping good.
Look at me.
I too am wandering. But I've a deep wound in my leg.
Anyway...
Benazir is suffering with fever.
Make some herbs for her.
Emperor, there are physicians in the palace...
...to make herbs for her.
But not as expert as you. That's why I came to you.
Come on make it.
Alright, you please go.
I'll make the herbs and send it to you.
I'll sit here.
You might mix something in it.
Reva!
Bring basil, long pepper, myrobalan and clove.
And yes, also bring a pestle to crush it.
Reva! Didn't you bring the herbs or not?
Make an effective medicine.
Don your best.
You're very worried about your Benazir, right?
Undoubtedly, she's special to me.
I want her to be fine at any cost.
So, keep quiet and wait.
It takes time to make the herbs.
Never mind, I've time. I'll be patient.
I'll myself take the medicine to Benazir...
...and then I'll sleep peacefully.
Yes, I forgot to tell you.
My step brother...
...is coming tomorrow.
So, what do you call in your language?
He's your brother-in-law.
It's my order.
Will you be there to welcome her?
Come on, make it fast. Benazir will be waiting.
Come on, make it. What are you waiting for?
"You disrespected me by presenting the cradle in the presence of all..."
..".for which I won't forgive you easily, Jodha begum."
Give it.
Take it.
Bye!
Salutations!
Welcome to Agra, please come in.
Salutations.
Happy to see you, Hakim.
Bless you.
I'm very happy.
I'm also very happy to see you, mother.
Welcome to Agra, Hakim Mirza.
Salutations, Maham Anga.
Mother has given her salutations to you.
Do send her my regards.
Salutations to His Highness from his younger brother.
Younger brothers also hug their brother.
Years passed since I've flown a kite with you, brother.
Now, we'll together enjoy those days.
Definitely.
And we'll also go hunting.
Sure, brother.
Salutations!
Hey, what were you doing?
In royal families, they touch elder sister-in-law's feet.
I very well know this tradition, sister-in-law.
Both the brothers are so different.
What difference?
You won't understand.
Salutations, Jodha begum.
Greetings, Salima begum. Come, sit.
Moti! These days you don't work fast.
Give it to me. I'll make it myself.
Jodha begum, who are you making this herb for?
For emperor's special Benazir.
Why?
Because His Highness has ordered to make...
...paste and concoction for his dear Benazir.
I've already made some herbs and sent her.
But His Highness is unpredictable.
He'll remember it even at midnight and pass orders.
So, I'm making some extra paste.
I'm sorry, Salima begum.
I couldn't welcome you in all this.
Rather I started venting my anger.
It's not wrong, Jodha begum.
You consider me your elder sister.
Who will you share your feelings if not me?
By the way, Jodha begum, shall I share my feelings?
You need not ask. Please tell me.
Jodha begum, I was very jealous of...
...Rahim's mother late Mevati begum.
Because I felt my husband Behram Khan...
...loves her more than me.
When she was at her deathbed, she called me...
...and gave Rahim's responsibilities to me.
I also asked her, "I'm very jealous of you."
"But you're still handing over Rahim to me."
You know what, Jodha begum?
That time she smiled and told me...
..."This isn't your jealousy for me, but your love for your husband."
You too love him a lot as much as I do.
Jodha begum, many times there's love behind jealousy.
Because where there's love, there's jealousy.
You can get angry on the other person but you can't get jealous.
Am I right, Moti?
Why do you laugh? What do you think?
-I'm jealous? -Not at all.
Just now Salima begum said that those who love feel jealous.
You don't love His Highness.
But you're definitely angry on him...
...and you're venting that out on these herbs.
Let me take it away.
