Shivani, why are you doing all this?
You are a guest here.
Roam around and grab rest.
Give me. I will do it.
No, Moti. You go.
I will do it.
What am I here for?
Moti, your job is to obey the order, right?
So obey my orders and go.
"Dear Shivani, both of us love each other."
"But the society will never let us unite."
"Because you are a Princess."
"And I am an ordinary craftsman."
"It's impossible for us to marry in Amer."
"But I have found a way."
"I am going to a temple in Mathura for craftsmanship."
"You come to Agra to your sister."
"I will come to Agra from Mathura and take you away."
"And we will marry."
"It's difficult to live even a moment without you, Shivani."
"Yours, Tejwant."
Listen.
Actually, my comb fell down.
Please get it.
Hello, Princess.
Send your maid. I will give it to her.
Why aren't you looking at me?
I can't dare to look at you.
-Why not? -Because I am an ordinary craftsman.
And you are a Princess.
I shouldn't look at you. That's the conduct.
If someone saw me talking to you...
...I will lose my job and my life.
You are such a coward.
I am poor. But I am not a coward.
What you consider my fear, it's my boundary and conduct.
I have to follow it.
So it's also your duty to obey a Princess' order.
I command you to bring my comb.
Pardon me, Princess.
But I can't do this.
How dare you refuse a Princess?
Oh Goddess!
This is so beautiful.
Pardon me, Princess. You had to come down.
But try to understand my helplessness.
What's your name?
Tejwant.
I was very angry with you.
But I am pleased seeing your art.
Really. It's very beautiful.
And yes, henceforth don't think of yourself as inferior.
Because a man is superior by his work.
And you are an expert in your work.
Honestly speaking, you are the best.
I still remember that first meeting, Tejwant.
Love is also strange.
It sees neither stature nor family.
Nor does it understand any contention.
I didn't realize
when a Princess fell in love with a craftsman.
I am ready to do anything for you.
That's why I convinced mother and came to Agra.
Hello, brother.
Tell me. Is everything fine?
No, brother.
As per your order...
...I have investigated Abul Mali's conspiracy...
...and I found this message from Maqsood Khan's room...
...which Benezir has written to her mother from the harem.
Before Maqsood Khan could deliver this message...
...he died.
Brother, maybe you are forgetting...
...that Benezir is from Abul Mali's harem.
But it's not a crime to write a letter to one's mother.
Brother, I am not saying it's a...
...crime to write a letter to one's mother.
But the way this letter has been written raises doubt.
Brother, this letter has been written in Awadhi language.
Benezir is Muslim and has come from Kabul.
So why didn't she write this letter in...
...Urdu, Persian or Pashto language?
Read it out.
"What do I do, mother? I don't like it here."
"I am disturbed."
"When you dwell in me, then I am not a stranger."
"Why did I have to leave my home, mother?"
"I wander in every jungle like a deer."
"Your crazy daughter is amazed."
You said it without reading.
Actually, brother, it's written in such a way that...
...you remember it after reading it 2-3 times.
I am glad to see that you are already...
...taking interest in the state affairs.
It's obvious that I can't take any...
...decision without any proof, Mirza.
Give me this letter.
I will clarify this matter with Benezir.
OK, brother. Goodbye.
I just remembered something, Benezir.
We didn't get that letter back from Maqsood Khan...
...which you had written to Abul Mali.
What if His Highness gets hold of that letter?
If the letter had reached His Highness...
...I wouldn't have been sitting here comfortably.
I would have been called a long time back.
And not everyone is going to understand that letter.
Hello, ma'am.
His Highness has called you immediately.
His Highness has called me? But why?
Zakira, has he got suspicious?
In that case, I won't wait for another chance.
I will finish off His Highness right away.
Greetings, Your Highness.
You called me?
You really are very talented.
His Highness didn't give me a chance to show it.
Come on. I give it today.
You wrote this letter to your mother?
Yes.
Can you tell me in which language is this written?
Awadhi, Your Highness.
Why Awadhi?
When you are a Muslim, you are from Kabul.
So why didn't you write the letter in Urdu or Persian?
My God!
Do you wish to kill me?
Why do you say that?
If I see your beauty from up-close, won't I die?
Let it be.
I just wish to know why you wrote this letter in Awadhi.
Do you doubt me, Your Highness?
No.
But I doubt the place you have come from.
Above it all, this poem written in Awadhi creates doubt.
Actually, Your Highness,
my mother is not a Muslim.
She is from India.
Her mother tongue is Awadhi.
After marriage, she read the holy verses...
...and accepted Islam.
She could never forget her mother tongue.
She always...
...spoke to me in her mother tongue.
I was missing her. So I sent the letter...
...in her mother tongue.
If missing one's mother is a crime...
...then I am ready for the punishment, Your Highness.
No. It's not a crime.
I found out what I had to know.
And I trust you, too.
There are some people who never change...
...their language and custom.
Take a look at Queen Jodha.
Even after getting married, she didn't accept Islam.
Let it be.
Tell the postal clerk that this letter should be sent...
...to her mother today itself.
You can leave now.
Goodbye, Your Highness.
Shivani, you are becoming very stubborn with each passing day.
In this freezing cold, did you have to apply the oil outside?
You could have done it inside, in the chamber too, right?
No, sister.
You don't get such pleasure in the chamber.
Such a beautiful garden, open sky, amidst the stars.
It feels so good.
Fine. Count the stars.
When your counting is over, tell me.
By the way, sister, honestly speaking...
...I am glad I came here.
And seeing you happy, I am really pleased.
OK. Stop talking...
...and apply oil.
Brother-in-law.
Hello, brother-in-law.
Hello, sister-in-law.
Amazing! You took my place as soon as you came.
How come?
Actually, everyday at this hour...
...your sister massages my head.
Oh Goddess!
I have committed a crime.
Here. I will vacate your seat.
Here, Queen Jodha. I have come to you.
Massage my head as you do everyday.
"Tej is going to meet me near the Goddess' temple."
"This is the right chance to take permission."
Brother-in-law, I have heard that...
...there is a Goddess' temple in Agra.
There is. Your sister goes there very often.
With me.
How much will you lie?
Lie?
So brother-in-law doesn't go to the temple with you?
No. That's not true. He comes.
But not every time.
Look, sister-in-law. Your sister is so stubborn.
She says I should come to the temple with her every day.
And I tell her I am the King. I have countless things to do.
I am unable to go.
She gets upset with me.
Sister, this obstinacy is not right.
His Highness will have to handle state affairs too, right?
Brother-in-law, where is the temple?
Just a little distance from the palace.
I want to go there.
Sister-in-law, you can't go there.
Why? Why can't my sister go to the temple?
Because right now renovation work is going on over there.
And no one can go there.
Is that so? You are renovating the temple?
Of course, begum Jodha.
The temple is in Agra.
It's my responsibility to keep it in a good condition.
Gently, begum Jodha. You are pulling my hair.
When did I pull your hair?
Sister, brother-in-law is teasing you.
You're too much.
Brother-in-law, by the way, if not anyone else...
...but I can get permission to go there, right?
No, Shivani.
Restoration work is going on. Soldiers are stationed over there.
So no one is allowed to go there.
"Oh Goddess!"
"Tej was going to come to that temple to meet me."
"How do I warn him?"
Begum Jodha, I think you are upset with me today.
So you are moving your hands very slowly.
Benezir's hands are wonderful in this matter.
Who is Benezir?
She is my special retainer.
What do you say in your language?
Maid.
Shivani, her hands are magical.
Brother-in-law, that's not true.
She might not be able to give a better massage than my sister. Yes.
Yes. I can see your sister Jodha's good massage.
As soon as I praised Benezir, her hands stopped moving.
Brother-in-law, why are you unnecessarily making my sister jealous?
And sister, today show the wonder of your hands.
Give brother-in-law such a good massage that...
...that he forgets Benezir.
Sister, I will leave. Both of you talk. Bye.
Goodnight.
Begum Jodha, continue the massage.
What was the need to talk about Benezir in front of Shivani?
It was important, begum Jodha.
Now when Shivani has come here...
...she had to find out sooner or later.
If she had found out from someone else...
...she would have been very hurt.
It is better that I tell her that.
Benezir is my special maid.
Thanks for the massage, begum Jodha.
I will leave now.
Your Highness.
I want to talk to you about something else.
Your life is in danger.
Conspiracy is being hatched against you.
I know, begum Jodha.
My brother Mirza has warned me.
But don't worry. Nothing will happen to me.
If conspiracy is not hatched against the King...
...then he is not a King.
I have my kin for my protection.
My aunt, mother, Adgha.
My wives. And...
And I have Benezir.
You trust that girl whom you hardly know so much.
What to do, begum Jodha?
The one I considered my dear one, she pushed me away.
At times I face more danger from my dear ones.
Goodnight, begum Jodha.
"How do I tell His Highness that it's not something to take lightly?"
"How do I tell him that I met Sharifuddin?"
"And he told me about this."
"How do I find out who is your enemy..."
"...in the guise of your kin, Your Highness?"
Moti, I have treated this injured pigeon.
Take it. Take care of it.
Give it grains and water.
Hello, sister-in-law.
Hello, brother-in-law.
Did you call me?
Yes. I wanted to talk to you urgently.
I tried to talk to His Highness too.
But he doesn't take me seriously.
What's the matter, sister-in-law?
Sharifuddin wrote me a letter.
And he called me to the prison.
Over there he told me that His Highness's life is in danger.
I don't know how Sharifuddin got this information.
But it's true.
Yesterday I gave Benezir's letter also to His Highness.
It was a very strange letter.
"What do I do, mother? I don't like it here."
"Why are you angry with me?"
"When you dwell in me, then I am not a stranger."
"Why did you forget me?"
"Why did I had to leave my home, mother?"
"I wander in every jungle like a deer."
"Your crazy daughter is amazed."
What kind of message is this?
I don't know that.
But I do know that only one person is behind all this.
Abul Mali.
We have to see what conspiracy he has hatched.
The work is still not done.
I got a message after so many days.
That too of failure.
Benezir is in Agra since a long time.
And she could still not come closer to Jalal.
It proves how difficult it is to reach to Jalal.
Sharifuddin has been captured.
Wrestler Imtiaz Khan was killed.
I thought Jalal will fight with him in the end and he will be killed.
Adham Khan ruined my plan.
Now I will have to do something.
Will you go to Agra?
Of course.
Enough of fighting from outside.
I have been defeated too.
If I have to capture Agra, I will have to live in Agra.
Sooner or later Benezir will finish her work.
Seeing the throne empty, someone might seize...
...the Mughal empire.
Before that I will have to prove that I am a contender of the throne.
I have heard Mirza Hakim is also there.
You will get help from him.
No. He is my relative.
But he is more faithful to Jalal.
And it makes no difference to me.
At present my purpose is to do my work.
Make arrangement to go to Agra immediately.
Aren't you afraid of being caught in Agra?
Hasan.
Oh God!
You are here and that too alone.
Since when?
Javeda, you?
-Hello. -Greetings.
You are my guest.
And no one is with you. That's too bad.
Actually, it's my fault.
I remember.
When I had come to Amer, all of you...
...had taken such good care of me.
And I couldn't even be hospitable to you.
Forgive me.
Javeda, you are so sweet. Can anyone be upset with you?
-Greetings. -Hello.
Check the garden thoroughly.
And ensure that the snake incident doesn't happen again.
Yes, Mr Mirza.
We are taking complete care of that.
Such weird misunderstandings...
...occur here, right?
Greetings.
This time he is greeting you, Shivani.
Now you can greet him.
I don't understand.
Actually, first I thought you were greeting me.
So I greeted you.
Now when you were greeting me...
...I thought you are greeting Javeda.
I couldn't pay attention to you before.
I am sorry.
Don't worry about that.
You will be forgiven.
Shivani is large-hearted.
She is Queen Jodha's sister, after all.
Do you know, Mirza?
When I went to Amer, I saw Shivani's many good qualities.
She is a great cook. Isn't it, Shivani?
To know how good a cook she is...
...she will have to invite me to Amer.
Because here, she is our guest.
And it's our duty to take care of her.
Shivani, when are you inviting me?
What's the matter? All of you are here together.
Greetings, sister-in-law.
Hello.
I was going for the veneration of the basil plant.
I saw all of you together.
What's the matter?
All of you are together. Anything special?
Actually, I saw Shivani alone here.
So I came to accompany her.
If you permit, can I take her for a tour of the royal garden?
Yes. Why do you have to ask?
Go, Shivani.
Brother-in-law, where are you going?
Javeda will show the garden to Shivani.
I...
What are you saying?
Yes. Why are you going after Shivani?
Sister-in-law, you're too much.
She is your sister.
Yes. That's what I am saying.
You are His Highness's brother.
And Shivani is my sister.
I don't understand, sister-in-law.
But I have understood everything.
I have read your eyes.
Tell me. Why were you looking at my sister Shivani covertly?
What's the matter, brother-in-law?
I...
Your sister... is very beautiful, sister-in-law.
I see. So you like my sister.
Yes. But brother has still not got smitten by you.
Your Highness!
What's the matter, sister?
You couldn't control yourself when you saw brother-in-law?
Yes, Queen Jodha.
What happened to you?
I want to...
You want to know how I came here suddenly, right?
I was passing from here. I saw you worshipping.
So I thought I will come to take the offering.
Yes. Surely.
I know. Under the pretext of taking the offering...
...you have come to meet my sister.
"'Once they leave from here, I will tell His Highness..."
"...that Sharifuddin has informed me..."
"...that his life is in danger."
It seems like both of you need privacy.
Moti, come on. Let's go.
No need.
I think your sister doesn't want to meet me in privacy.
She is afraid what you will think.
Goodbye.
"I lost this chance too."
"How do I tell His Highness?"
Thanks.
Not just for this drink, but...
No need to say thanks.
You came at the right time and served the Mughal empire.
In return, you deserve this honour and prestige.
You have not just got begum Ruqaiya and my forgiveness...
...but finally, you have won the subjects' heart.
You are absolutely right, Jalal.
It's a joyous occasion.
I have thought of something.
If you permit, shall I tell you?
Tell me.
Jalal, don't you think we should have a celebration on this joyous occasion?
Mother is absolutely right.
And Benezir should show her talent.
I mean to say, I have heard that Benezir is a very good dancer.
You have heard it right, Adham Khan.
Aunt, Adham Khan's suggestion is good.
There should be a big celebration on this victory.
Mirza Hakim is also here. It will be great.
Yes.
What happened, aunt? You don't seem happy.
The suggestion of celebration was yours.
It was my suggestion.
But it's not about the celebration.
It's about Queen Jodha.
Jalal, you know that I am a little upset with Queen Jodha.
And you know the reason why I am upset with her.
You are right, aunt.
But because of Queen Jodha, we can't stop being happy, right?
This celebration will take place.
And... Benezir will dance too.
Maham Anga.
But only for men.
So it's confirmed.
I will go and make arrangement...
...for the celebration, Your Highness.
Since when did you start calling me Your Highness in privacy?
Call me Jalal as you have always called me.
Pardon me, Jalal.
I suggest let Adham Khan address you as Your Highness.
Be it in privacy or in front of everyone.
For Adham Khan, you are his King.
OK, aunt.
Go and make arrangement for the celebration.
Maham Anga.
"It will be great fun."
"Benezir will dance only for you, Jalal."
"And Adham will ensure that you are so drunk..."
"...that you lose consciousness."
"So that Benezir can come close to you, very close."
"When Queen Jodha will find out,
she will turn green with envy."
Today's celebration is for Adham Khan.
The way he has kept up the pride of the Mughal dynasty...
...I appreciate it.
Thank you, king.
If you permit, can we start the celebrations?
Benezir, you are the king's special maid.
Why are you shying away from the king?
I want to meet the king.
Forgive me, ma'am, but women are prohibited...
...from going inside.
It is very important for me to meet him.
Jodha.
What's the matter, Jodha? What are you doing here at this hour?
I want to meet the king right away.
Forgive me, Jodha... you can't meet the king now.
The men are partying.
King is celebrating Adham Khan's victory.
And his special maid, Benezir is entertaining them.
But I have to meet...
I know... if you are here at this hour...
...there must be something important.
After the party is over... you can do your important work.
Because it is king's order that no one should disturb him.
Shall I tell you something?
Your sister is here after a long time.
Why don't you spend some time with her?
As soon as the party gets over,
you can talk to the king.
But not now, Jodha.
Maham Anga.
Goodbye.
Here.
King...
You all stay here and be alert.
The king can come out at any moment.
-And now... -Tonight is very special for the king.
"What is this? The party just began."
"How did they all come out so soon?"
Maham Anga.
King!
Go away from here!
I said, go away from here!
When I came to you, you pushed me away!
I haven't forgotten that, Jodha.
So, I'm telling you, go away from here!
"The more I try to keep Jalal away from Jodha...
...the more Jalal misses her."
Benezir, what's the matter?
Why did you come out from the party?
No problem, Benezir. Even if you don't want to tell me...
...I know what happened with you.
I saw it with my own eyes.
The way he pushed you was not right.
But Benezir, I want to tell you something, remember it.
No matter if the woman is the prettiest in the world...
...if the man has somebody else on his mind...
...then it becomes difficult to acquire him.
Entertaining him by dancing and singing...
...trying to forcefully go close to the king...
...it can't be right all the time.
But no problem. You tried nicely.
So what if you were unsuccessful this time.
You have to do something else now.
Do something by which you make place in the king's heart.
Benezir, do something by which...
...the king is drawn towards you.
This is the way to acquire the king.
Benezir, forget whatever happened today.
Just remember your aim.
Think about what I said.
Goodbye, Benezir.
"I was here to finish my goal."
"My aim is not to make place in Jalal's heart..."
Today I will offer marigold to Lord Krishna.
You get it from there, I will go there.
How dare you touch me?
Sister-in-law, forgive me for touching you.
But I had to stop you from stepping forward.
Look there.
Thank God, it is dead.
But this snake didn't die a natural death.
It seems like it died after biting someone.
Oh God...
...this happens only when another poisonous creature bites it.
Such a woman, who has more venom than the snake.
You mean to say, venomous woman.
I think, you call that in your language.
These girls remain alive by taking poisonous doses.
If they don't get snake poison on time...
...they become restless.
"Zakira, hurry up."
"I need the dose of the snake poison."
Yes, even I've heard such stories.
I have heard that such venomous women...
...get bitten by the snake.
But at that time I didn't believe that this could be true.
This is not a story, but the truth.
Venomous women are not born.
They are brought up by giving poison.
Benezir, how many years this has been going on for?
Since I was six-years-old.
I was born in a very poor family.
I was not even six years old...
...when a poisonous snake bit me.
"This is very surprising."
"A very poisonous snake bit this child."
"But the poison didn't affect her at all."
These kind of venomous women are used as weapons.
When any king can't be conquered by a battle...
...then they are used.
They are chosen in their childhood to use them.
The poison didn't affect me.
Abul Mali's man heard this.
He kidnapped me and took me to Abul Mali...
...where I was trained to become, what I am today.
A death hidden in the disguise of beauty.
I was being fed with snake poison.
I was trained to sing, dance, and to entice men.
Do they have any special recognition?
No, sister-in-law.
They look like any other women.
They are not a venomous women... but they should be...
...getting doses of snake poison.
If they don't get snake poison on time...
...then they become restless and get angry.
They select nice girls and are fed with snake poison for years.
They are trained to entice men.
Because beautiful girls are the weakness of kings and men...
By utilizing this opportunity, they kill those kings.
Many such incidents have come to light...
...where many kings have died an unknown death.
I don't know how many kings I have killed for Abul Mali.
I've been successful everywhere... but this king Jalal...
...I don't know what he is made up of.
Abul Mali is unsuccessful in defeating him.
Is it possible that Abul Mali has sent such a weapon here?
I don't have any foolproof evidence regarding this.
Anyway, the story of venomous woman is over.
Sister-in-law, but my story is incomplete.
What do you mean?
I mean, did you talk to Shivani about me?
Brother-in-law, we Rajvanshis talk to parents first for the alliance.
They fix the alliance.
I will first talk to father. He will take the final decision.
OK, sister-in-law.
Why will I object, Jodha?
This is a good suggestion.
The relationship that was built between two communities...
...with yours and Jalal's wedding...
...will be strengthened more with Mirza and Shivani's wedding.
The best part is, Mirza is ready for this.
Mirza's mother, Maa Chuchak Sahiba will be...
...happy to hear this.
I will inform her immediately.
Even, I will send a message to father.
By the way, I just suggested it.
Only father will take the decision.
Absolutely, his decision will be final.
You see, if this wedding takes place...
...Mirza will keep Shivani very happy.
I am sure of it.
That's the reason, I gave this suggestion to you.
Do this, after informing the king...
...tell this to Jalal too.
OK, mother.
Maham Anga.
Greetings, Jalal.
Greetings, aunt.
Have a seat.
Thanks.
Aunt, tell me. Anything special?
Jalal, it is not good to hurt someone who's close to you.
Aunt, what have I done that hurt you?
I'm talking about Benezir. You've hurt her.
The way you pushed her in yesterday's party...
...she is feeling very humiliated.
I? When did I push Benezir, aunt?
Forgive me, maybe you are mistaken...
...but I didn't do anything like that.
No Jalal, forgive me... but you did that.
If you want, you can ask Benezir.
Did I push Benezir?
Jalal, you yourself, seeing Benezir's beauty...
...gave her the title of 'Kohinoor".
You misbehaved with her at the party.
No Jalal, anybody can feel hurt.
I think, I was over drunk, aunt.
I don't remember that so much...
...but I remember whatever Jodha did to me.
The way she pushed me...
Anyway, I will talk to Benezir...
...and will subside her anger.
Long live the king. Begum Jodha wants to meet you.
Jalal, permit me to leave.
-OK, aunt. -Take care of yourself.
Goodbye.
Jodha, you?
What's the matter? Hasn't your important work got over till now...
...since last night?
Oh yes... the king must have not met you last night.
The King was very intoxicated last night.
Forgive me Jodha, as I had to stop you from going to the party.
What do I do? It was the king's order that no one should...
...go inside.
Except for Benezir.
Only Benezir had the permission to go inside.
She is the king's favourite.
Shall I tell you something?
I must say, Benezir had made nice arrangements...
...to make the king happy. Wow.
Goodbye.
Greetings, king.
Tell Benezir to come here.
I need to talk to her.
I came here to talk to you...
...and you are making excuses and called Benezir here.
"Oh God, I don't know how she read my mind."
Nothing like that, Jodha.
I want to really talk to her.
Yes, I know what you did with her last night.
By the way, you've called her again to meet during the day.
"How did she know that I didn't even touch Benezir?"
I don't feel necessary to tell about my personal things to anyone.
I know that you are concerned about me, but please stop it.
I am not interested in hearing the same thing again and again.
I know that you can take care of yourself.
But do you know the importance of talking about your brother?
Are you talking about Mirza Hakim?
What do you want to talk about him?
Your brother Mirza Hakim is in love with my sister Shivani.
And I don't have any objection with this alliance.
So, I sent this news to father.
If father does not have any objection with it...
...so I want you both to take the decision.
Great.
I am surprised that you agree with this relationship.
Jodha, you don't have any objection in getting your...
...sister married in our family...
...even though you hate me so much.
He is different from others, attractive...
...intelligent and brave.
Don't I have these qualities in me?
He respects women.
He knows to respect their feelings.
Not like someone else.
When they feel like, barge into someone's room and...
