"Lord Mahadev, your relationship with Goddess Gauri..."
"...is the symbol of an eternal relationship."
"Do protect our relationship too, my Lord."
"Protect my husband."
"Always bless His Highness with your grace, my Lord."
Benazir, your mouth must be watering, right?
There's so much of what you need here.
"I'll definitely get enough poison from this..."
"...to kill His Highness."
Come!
"What are Benazir and Zakira doing here?"
"Why did they come for this veneration?"
"Where is Benazir going?"
"I must find out."
Moti, stay here. I'll just come.
"What's Benazir doing here all alone?"
"I hope she has not come here to meet someone."
"But, whom?"
"Abul Mali is in the dungeon."
His Highness Jalaluddin! You can't escape from Benazir.
No one will be able to save you.
I'll sting you.
I'm not after your life, lady Jodha.
The body colour depicts that he died of snake poison.
Benazir!
The one, who is His Highness' special maid.
She is the weapon of His Highness' death.
"The job isn't done yet."
Goddess Amba!
"Brother-in-law was right."
"Venomous women are not just in the stories."
"But, they do exist in reality."
"Is Benazir a venomous woman?"
"She wants to kill His Highness by poisoning him!"
What? Benazir is a venomous woman?
Yes, Moti. I saw Benazir drinking poison.
Brother-in-law is right. Venomous women do exist.
Let's hurry up. We must inform His Highness.
His life is in danger. I must alert him about Benazir.
But Jodha, will His Highness believe you?
I don't know that. But, I must convince him.
I must safeguard him from his enemy.
Come soon.
I want to meet His Highness.
Salutations, my lady!
But, His Highness is not here.
So, where is he?
Is he in Benazir's room?
I'm sorry, but we're not allowed to...
...say this to anyone, lady Jodha.
Why don't you understand?
It's very important for me to meet His Highness.
I'm his wife. This is my order. Tell me.
Well, His Highness, is in lady Ruqaiya's chamber.
Come soon, Moti.
Jodha, I think you should wait.
I know lady Ruqaiya very well.
She'll not let you in.
I don't know about lady Ruqaiya's reaction.
But, I know what I must do.
I can't let His Highness' life be in danger...
...because of lady Ruqaiya.
I'll meet him.
Salutations, my lady. You can't go ins.
It's very important for me to meet His Highness.
Tell him that I've come to see him.
I'm sorry, my lady.
Lady Ruqaiya has ordered not to disturb him...
...at any cost and I can't disobey her orders.
Alright, then. Call lady Ruqaiya. I'll take her permission.
What is this racket about? I told you...
Oh, so it's you. I should have known...
...there's only one in the palace who has no sense...
...that she should not disturb...
...His Highness while he is relaxing.
I want to meet His Highness, right now.
You are dismissed.
Lady Jodha, you forget that even today...
...I'm Jalal's chief consort.
Yes, you are.
But, I am his wife, too.
I see!
So, you think you can easily replace me?
That is a misunderstanding, lady Jodha.
No one can replace me.
Jalal came to me of his own will.
He told me not to disturb him.
He's sleeping. So, you can go.
Listen. If he has time tomorrow, he'll listen to you.
I don't have time till tomorrow, lady Ruqaiya.
What's so important?
Tell me.
It's very important.
I can tell only His Highness about this.
Then, why don't you tell your father or brother?
Send them a message, or tell me.
Or wait for His Highness till tomorrow.
It's just a matter of a few moments.
I want to meet His Highness and talk to him.
Sharifuddin told me...
I see, so now you've reached the dungeon?
His Highness and the traitor who wronged you, Sharifuddin...
...is now trusted by you?
Great!
His Highness has locked him in the dungeon.
And you went to meet him. Great.
Because, he sent me a message.
His Highness' life is at risk, lady Ruqaiya.
Great! So, you believe Sharifuddin?
But, I cannot.
Because, I know who is most dangerous for Jalal.
The one, who can humiliate His Highness...
...and Mughal empire's prestige in public, can also kill him.
Jalal is at risk from you and your family.
There's only one way to safeguard him.
To separate you from him.
Lady Ruqaiya, you don't understand.
I understand you very well.
I understand what you mean to say.
You want to be the chief queen. You want to replace me.
But, I won't let that happen.
Till now, I've overlooked you.
But now, I'm right here...
...to safeguard my position and my husband.
I'm standing firmly in your way, lady Jodha.
Now, I can see a maid being Jalal's wife, but not you.
But, why are you so angry with me?
What have I done?
Jalal is obsessed with you.
You've dared to control his mind.
There's only one punishment for this kind of daring.
You'll be thrown out of this palace.
I will do that.
That is my challenge.
His Highness is with lady Ruqaiya.
-But I didn't tell you this, OK? -Yes.
I didn't meet you.
What happened? Can we meet?
No. Not tonight.
What? But, why?
His Highness is with his chief queen tonight.
-So, let's go there. -But...
We have very little time.
We've arranged the poison, somehow.
I must do this task today itself. Come on.
Jodha, you've worshipped the entire day.
Come and rest now.
Lady Ruqaiya will not allow you to go in.
No, Moti. I won't go until I meet His Highness.
Despite knowing that His Highness' life is at risk...
...how can I rest?
You know that you won't be allowed inside.
Jodha, don't get yourself humiliated.
My respect is never higher than His Highness' life.
I won't go.
Lady Jodha? What's she doing here?
Whenever I try to meet His Highness...
...why does she come in my way?
Zakira, see how she's waiting for His Highness.
It seems our job will not be done today, Benazir.
When lady Jodha wasn't allowed to meet him...
...forget about us meeting him.
As it is, our job won't be done in her presence.
Let's go.
I wish to sting her first.
She is always an obstacle in my path.
Moti, I've prayed for His Highness' safety.
And mother also made me promise her...
...that no matter who I get married to...
...it'll be my duty to protect him.
No, Jodha.
You're not doing this for your promise to the queen.
You're doing this because...
-...you've started liking His Highness. -Moti!
I'm sorry, Jodha. But, spending a night in this way for him...
...when he doesn't even wish to look at you...
...what's that about?
If this is not love, what it is it, Jodha?
Moti, you're crossing the limit.
Emperor!
Emperor! Emperor! I want to speak to you.
I know, you don't want to talk to me.
But, this time my information is correct.
I know, who's after your life in this palace.
She's none other than Benazir.
Her intention for coming to Agra is to kill you, Emperor!
She's a venomous woman.
Venomous woman?
There's a limit, lady Jodha.
I know that you've been jealous of Benazir ever since...
...she has stepped into Agra.
But, are you so jealous that you'll say anything about her?
Who told you, that she's a venomous woman?
Sharifuddin told me!
He sent a message to me. Later, I went to meet him.
That criminal, that traitor sent you a message from dungeon?
Just think, lady Jodha.
He's a traitor. Why will he be worried about me?
Besides, he could have sent a message to me...
...or to anyone else. Why you?
-I don't know that. -But, I know.
I know, that he's cunning. He's provoking you.
Now, your mistakes are increasing, lady Jodha.
It's a big crime to meet a prisoner.
You can be punished for this.
Alright. You can punish me.
But, I won't accept any harm caused to you.
You've lost it, lady Jodha.
You're jealous of Benazir.
You want to degrade her in my eyes.
Sharifuddin knows this and that's why he's using you.
Just think. He's a traitor, why would he be concerned for me?
He wants to get out of the dungeon. That's why, I don't believe him.
But, I do trust my eyes, Emperor.
I've seen Benazir consuming poison.
I saw her taking a snake bite on her tongue.
Emperor!
Emperor, this is true. I've seen Benazir doing this.
Alright, you've a right not to believe me.
You can punish me anyway you want.
But, it's your duty to get to the truth.
I request you to believe me, just once.
Alright!
Inform everyone at the palace that I want to meet everyone...
...at the private meeting hall, right now.
Alert!
His Highness Jalaluddin Mohammad...
...the emperor of India is arriving.
What's the matter?
Why did Jalal suddenly call everyone to the meeting hall?
Benazir, I've received a complaint against you.
I'm sorry, Emperor! But...
...I haven't done anything intentionally.
But, lady Jodha claims that you're a venomous woman.
And you're here to kill me.
"What's wrong with you, lady Jodha?"
"You should have thought of some genuine reason!"
"Now, the truth will be exposed, Benazir."
What are you saying, Emperor?
I can't believe lady Jodha can accuse me like this.
She's very good.
She respects women.
But, she claims that you live on portions of poison...
...and that your body runs on poison and not blood.
If you're not guilty, then prove it.
Tell me, can you prove this to all?
I can understand, why I'm being accused like this.
I was brought here from Abul Mali's palace.
Tell me what I must do.
Bring milk in a vessel.
Benazir!
You must drink some milk in the presence of everyone.
If you're a venomous woman, the milk will turn poisonous...
...as soon as your lips touch it.
So, drink the milk.
Now, your helper Zakira will drink the same milk...
...to prove that it is poison or not.
Zakira, drink this milk.
As you wish.
Zakira will drink this milk.
I've served her since many years.
I trust in her innocence.
So, I'm ready to drink her leftover milk.
I've proved my innocence, Emperor!
Now, I request you to behead me.
Because, this is the punishment for my biggest mistake.
My only crime is that I'm a slave.
I was a slave even in Abul Mali's palace.
Even here I'm the same.
Thank you for your kindness, Emperor!
You gave me immense respect.
But, it couldn't erase the label of slave from my life.
I request you to behead me.
Maybe, when I bleed, lady Jodha will believe...
...that there's blood in my body and not poison.
Lady Jodha, I'm sorry to say, Benazir is a slave.
But, what about you? You're His Highness' wife.
Accusing anyone falsely is against the Mughal glory.
You've wasted the people and the Mughal empire's time...
...by doing this. You should not have done this.
Lady Jodha, you're one of the special wives of His Highness.
Like His Highness, even his wife...
...becomes an example for his subjects.
People follow her.
So, as a wife, you should consider...
...your behaviour and position.
The meeting is over. Everyone can leave.
Stop, lady Jodha.
You said, it's my duty to get to the truth.
I did my duty. Now, you tell me.
Do you have any reason other than jealousy to blame Benazir?
Or is your Rajput ego still stopping you?
Emperor, I'll stick to my words, even now.
It's true that I don't have any witness.
But, Benazir is a venomous woman.
I've seen her myself.
You had seen her yourself...
...exactly the way you have seen...
...your sister Shivani since childhood.
Then, how could you be proved wrong in that case, Jodha?
Today, I can see a jealous wife who is...
...venting out her anger on a slave.
You already have a habit of misbehaving.
Now, you're getting habituated to being wrong, lady Jodha.
It's a mistake, for you to not trust me.
One day, you'll repent for not believing me.
I can't let you die.
Take this.
Drink the herbal antidote.
Now, take a deep breath.
God, your poison is more dangerous than the snakes.
But, thanks for taking the risk of drinking that milk.
I had to.
If you'd been proved guilty...
...our aim for visiting this place would be incomplete.
All this has happened because of lady Jodha.
She always gets in my way.
Even when I try to meet the emperor.
And even when I'm taking my portion of poison.
I've had a narrow escape, today.
His Highness considered me innocent.
But, Jodha will not accept a quick defeat.
She'll look for evidence against me.
That's why, I tell you to be alert.
We should not get exposed.
But, how long will I be able to save myself?
Lady Jodha is chasing me.
And on the other hand, Abul Mali is angry.
We're a little relieved in this matter.
Abul Mali is in custody, at present.
But, for how long?
Till date, he has breached every prison.
He won't remain locked for many days, even now.
Now, he'll look for me.
He'll punish me for not doing my duty.
He'll kill me.
Now, it's not easy to attack His Highness.
Because, if anything will happen to His Highness...
...due to the poison, people will believe Jodha.
We won't be able to get out of Agra, alive.
What's going on in your mind, Benazir?
What about our goal?
No!
You can't do this.
We don't have any other solution.
If it is about our goal, then my duty is to kill people...
...not to sacrifice my life.
Zakira, we must escape from Agra as soon as possible.
How?
Is it so easy to flee from the palace?
No, but, it's not difficult to flee from the shrine. -Shrine?
Yes, we'll flee from here on pretext of going to the shrine.
Then, we'll flee from Agra, permanently.
This is the last chance to save our lives.
Otherwise, we never know when lady Jodha...
...will hit us with one of her arrows.
Everyone in the palace feels that it was a delusion.
But, I know that Benazir is a venomous woman.
His Highness' life is at risk. She'll kill him, Moti.
Jodha, you haven't rested since the past few days.
-Get some sleep. -What are you saying?
His Highness' life is at risk and do you want me to take rest?
Tell me truly, Moti.
Do you trust me or not?
Jodha, many times in the darkness we feel...
...that we saw something, but it's not like that.
It wasn't so dark, Moti.
I've very clearly seen Benazir drinking poison.
Jodha, just think.
If Benazir were a venomous woman...
...how did Zakira survive after drinking milk tasted by her?
Sometime, we do have an illusion.
Do you really feel it was an illusion?
I'm sure, there is some secret why Zakira is alive.
Benazir is a venomous woman, Moti.
Otherwise, you tell me.
How come the postman was found dead?
How come there are so many serpents in the palace?
Why doesn't anyone trust me?
Because, Benazir is recently proved innocent.
Your doubts on Benazir and worry for His Highness' life...
...has made you think like this.
Jodha, you need peace at the moment.
For God's sake, listen to me.
Take some rest.
You don't trust me either, Moti.
You also feel, that I'm doing this because I'm jealous of Benazir?
You're my friend. At least, you understand me.
The king's mother, lady Hamida is arriving.
Jodha, I've heard you didn't sleep from the past 2 days.
What's the matter?
Mother, a venomous woman is living in the palace.
How can I rest?
Do you feel that it is my illusion, too?
"How can I explain to you, Jodha?"
"It is really an illusion!"
Tell me, mother. You do not trust me, right?
I do. I'm sure, you won't accuse anyone falsely.
But Jodha, Jalal has considered Benazir's innocent.
Now, it's no use discussing this issue.
Why do you bother yourself?
Jodha, I know Jalal.
He's very sensible. He'll take care of himself.
But, mother...
...when her aim is to kill His Highness...
...she'll find some way.
While His Highness considers her special to him.
In that case, it's easy for Benazir to kill His Highness.
She won't kill Jalal. Try to understand.
If she were a venomous woman, her maid would be dead.
Don't forget that the royal physician was also present...
...in the meeting hall at that time.
If the poison had affected Zakira, he'd have noticed it.
Benazir is proved innocent publicly.
If you repeat this, people will blame you.
Control yourself, my child.
Don't let your emotions get so weak...
...that you forget to identify people.
Try to understand.
If you go on doing this...
...it'll increase the distance between you and Jalal.
I don't want that.
Do you get me?
Come on.
Now, go to sleep.
It's my order, that you must take proper rest.
"Everyone feels that I'm jealous of Benazir...
...and that's why I'm doing this."
"How do I tell them that I'm worried about His Highness?"
Hurry up, Zakira, we must leave before anyone spots us.
What can I do? I can't walk any faster.
Death walks faster than this.
Today, we're saved but destiny may not favour us every time.
Stop!
Where are you going?
To the shrine!
The shrine?
Why go there, suddenly?
Because, suddenly I've been accused.
Lady Jodha's allegations on me have hurt me very much.
I'm very disturbed.
I want some peace.
That's why, I was going to the shrine.
Isn't a slave allowed to go to the shrine?
Of course, a slave has the right to go to the shrine.
And I think you must go.
You'll find peace over there.
I give you permission. Go.
You, come here.
Inform our spies living amongst the subjects...
...that I want to see them now.
Go!
Benazir.
The news must spread amongst the subjects...
...that Benazir is a venomous woman.
That His Highness' life is at risk.
Every locality, inn and street should be aware of it.
Provoke people so that they throw stones at Benazir.
So that they'd try to kill her.
Go!
Beware, lady Jodha!
The subjects will move towards Benazir.
A storm will head towards your life.
Mother, what are you doing with these people?
They're embers meant to instigate anger in the subjects.
The subjects love their emperor.
When they couldn't tolerate the risk at His Highness' wedding...
...then, how can they tolerate risk to his life?
What?
I don't understand anything, mother.
Adham Khan, you don't need to understand.
I'll do what it takes.
Poor lady Jodha!
She thought she'd impress His Highness.
But, it didn't happen.
If lady Jodha feels that Jalal will notice her, if she does this...
...she is being foolish.
Jalal doesn't like foolish people.
Now, just watch. He'll go away from lady Jodha.
But my lady, I don't understand one thing.
Why didn't His Highness punish lady Jodha for...
...putting false allegations on someone?
He also didn't consider her guilty...
...when the princess Shivani eloped with her lover...
...from her wedding venue.
I see some change in His Highness' behaviour.
Is it that he's getting inclined towards lady Jodha?
Next time, keep your imagination to yourself.
Jalal can only be inclined towards me.
The next time you talk like this, I'll cut out your tongue...
...and punish you severely.
You won't be able to scream, even if it pains.
Go away.
Why are you getting angry on him?
It's not his fault.
Lady Ruqaiya!
What's your opinion about today's incident?
Just that, Benazir is not a venomous woman.
And I don't care.
But yes, lady Jodha has made a grave mistake...
...by making false allegations.
Today, she appeared jealous of Benazir.
I'm happy that once again, lady Jodha...
...was proved wrong in front of Jalal.
You're right.
One more mistake from lady Jodha...
...will drop her name from the list of Jalal's special queens.
Yes, I'll wait for lady Jodha's mistake.
Why must you wait, lady Ruqaiya?
If you allow me....
....I can make your position safe tonight.
But, how?
Lady Ruqaiya, have patience.
The night is not over yet.
Goodbye!
It seems, today we'll succeed in fleeing from here.
-I wish. -What's she doing here?
-Who? -His Highness' slave, Benazir.
I hear, she's a venomous woman. She's here to kill our emperor.
This is risky for the empire. She's a venomous woman.
What are you saying?
Yes, lady Jodha will not tell a lie.
She has seen her consuming poison.
She was special to Abul Mali.
What are you saying?
If I tell a lie, God will punish me.
She's here to kill our king.
Oh, my God! And she's moving about openly.
Let's go.
Did you see her? She's a venomous woman.
She's here to kill our emperor.
God, why is she still alive?
Zakira, let's go to the shrine quickly.
But, we're here for pray.
People are whispering about us.
I don't think their intentions are good.
We'll be safe in the shrine. We'll escape from there.
Look, she's here to kill our emperor.
She's a danger to our empire.
She wants to kill our emperor.
-She's here to kill our king. -How dare she?
Our emperor has always protected us.
Today, we must protect him.
Kill her. Hit her.
Don't hit us.
Kill her. Hit her.
Look at how this venomous woman appears.
Hit her!
She's beautiful, but evil.
-Hit her! -Hit her!
Venomous woman!
Get lost!
Hit her!
"'OK, so the game has begun."
Hit her! Hit her! Hit her!
Hit her! Hit her!
Hit her!
-Stop! -Hit her!
-Stop! -Move! Move!
Benazir!
What are you all doing?
What's happening?
She's a venomous woman!
She's here to kill our emperor.
Don't you dare raise your voice at me.
And who said that Benazir is a venomous woman?
Does His Highness not know?
She lives with His Highness in the same palace.
Do you think His Highness will set her free...
...if she's a venomous woman?
You've just heard this news.
These are rumours. Just rumours.
Has anyone seen Benazir consuming poison?
Has anyone died because of her?
I request you all.
Don't believe in rumours.
His Highness is there.
He'll decide about Benazir.
Go on to your respective houses.
Go on!
Go!
Benazir!
Go, chase her. Catch her.
This is a very good chance.
If I take advantage of this opportunity...
...I can get very close to His Highness.
My God! She jumped into the water.
We need to save her.
-Rope. Rope... -Yes.
Get the rope!
Beware!
The emperor of India...
...king Jalaluddin Mohammad is arriving.
Benazir!
How can you do this?
You know, it's a sin to commit suicide.
So, tell me why did you attempt suicide?
Because, I had no choice.
After what happened with me in the market...
...how can I remain alive?
No one is ready to believe me.
I agree that I'm a slave.
But, even a slave can't tolerate such humiliation.
I thought, you gave me a position of someone special to you.
And it will improve my life.
Someone will be ready to marry me.
But, no.
One accusation...
...and it led to thousands of stones pelting at me.
I'm a venomous woman.
This rumour took off from the palace to the subjects.
The public wants to kill me.
And you can understand that...
...no one can escape from the public.
No matter, if he or she is a resident of this palace.
I didn't wish to die at the hands of the public.
That's why, I attempted suicide.
I've a request to make, Your Highness.
You kill me.
Kill me once and for all.
I can't listen to these taunts.
What are you saying, Benazir?
If anything happens to you, then it is my failure...
...that an emperor couldn't protect his slave.
Every woman of my harem, may she be my wife or a maid...
...it's my responsibility to protect her.
But, what if a noble lady herself accuses a maid?
Your Highness!
I'd like to say something.
I'm sorry, lady Jodha.
Your tiny mistake could kill an innocent person.
I'd like to ask you, lady Jodha!
What did you think before casting allegations on Benazir?
Not everyone who comes close to His Highness...
...wants to kill him.
Doesn't His Highness have the kind of allure...
...that any girl would want to come close to him?
Tell me, lady Jodha. Answer me.
Why did you charge Benazir falsely for being a venomous woman?
Maham Anga, I haven't made any false allegations.
I saw her, myself.
Enough, lady Jodha!
We've already talked of what you say and see and what you do.
Now, no more words.
Your Highness, I think we should listen to Benazir's request.
Because even if she remains alive...
...she'll live with fear that anyone will come in...
...and believe her to be a venomous woman and kill her.
So, it's better that you kill her.
Or get her married.
If her husband stays alive, it'll be clear that...
...Benazir is not a venomous woman.
I don't think, there's any other way, Your Highness.
You're right, aunt.
OK, then. If you allow it and if you think it is right...
...then, I'll find a decent boy to marry Benazir.
Boy?
Marriage?
What do you think, minister?
Will anyone get ready to marry me?
No! People don't die of death, but by the fear of death.
If the snake is not poisonous, and it stings...
...people die of fear, anyway.
After listening to the rumours about me...
...being a venomous woman...
...no one would want to marry me.
There's only one person in this world...
...who can dare to marry me.
And that is His Highness, himself.
