I can be safe only in your care.
Don't forget your limits, Benazir.
You're a slave and I'm an emperor.
I can't marry you.
Why not, Your Highness?
You said, that it's your responsibility to protect her.
Her death would humiliate you.
Then for her safety, and to avoid your insult...
...why don't you marry Benazir?
Lady Ruqaiya!
I know what I'm saying, Your Highness.
An emperor marries for many reasons.
Sometimes for friendship.
Sometimes to avoid war.
Sometimes of his own will.
And sometimes to support someone.
When it comes to a slave...
...after marrying the emperor...
...any woman would become a lady.
What are you saying, lady Ruqaiya?
The truth!
Something that you must do, Your Highness.
If you want to see Benazir safe...
...then, you must marry her.
But, we can marry her off to someone else.
Of course.
Anyone will marry her out of fear of you.
Lady Jodha's allegation has ruined her life.
Now, you are responsible for her life, Your Highness.
To fulfil your duty, if you can agree to divorce me...
...then, why can't you agree to marry a slave?
Show your subjects that an emperor can do anything.
An emperor has enough strength...
...to make a king poor and...
...a slave, his lady wife.
No, Your Highness.
Please don't do this.
She'll kill you.
You're my husband and I can't let any danger befall you.
Oh, really?
So, you recall that His Highness is your husband?
How many duties as a wife have you done so far?
You've no right to say this.
Lady Ruqaiya, listen...
Lady Ruqaiya is right, lady Jodha.
You've no right to claim you are my wife.
Because, you've not done a single duty as my wife.
The Mughal empire's prestige is affected, due to your sister.
Thanks to you, she almost lost her life today.
You didn't do your duty.
But, I'll definitely pay for your mistakes.
So...
...get Benazir ready for the marriage.
My brother Mirza Hakim couldn't marry...
...but, I'll definitely marry Benazir.
I'll make a slave my wife.
Well done, Maham Anga!
This time, I must appreciate your move.
My move would not be successful, lady Ruqaiya...
...without your support.
Only because of you, His Highness...
...agreed to marry Benazir.
That's the point.
Jalal can never avoid my suggestion.
Because, I control his mind.
Undoubtedly.
But, can I tell you something, lady Ruqaiya?
I wonder why I felt that Jalal agreed to marry Benazir...
...only because lady Jodha objected to it.
I wonder why, lady Jodha is still on Jalal's mind.
And soon she'll be thrown out.
Didn't you notice how he agreed to my suggestion?
If he's getting married to her just to go against lady Jodha's...
...objection, then it's not bad. It's good for us, Maham.
Yes, and the best thing is that I thought of this move...
...from lady Jodha's moves.
That's it.
Now, I want Benazir to be Jalal's wife very soon.
Then, it'll be easier for me...
...to get lady Jodha out of Agra.
She pushed my Jalal away, right?
Now, I'll push her from her position...
...by replacing Benazir in her place.
You're right, lady Ruqaiya.
But, get Benazir and Jalal married as quickly as possible.
Because, lady Jodha will not keep quiet.
Anyway, for now let's do this.
Let's celebrate our first success.
You and me.
Of course.
Jodha, please control yourself.
How can I, Moti? How do I control myself?
That venomous woman is getting...
...closer and closer to His Highness.
And now, His Highness has decided to marry her.
The danger to His Highness is increasing, Moti.
I'm unable to do anything.
How can I save him?
If anything happens to His Highness, Moti...
...I'll never be able to forgive myself.
I want to protect him.
Don't lie to yourself, Jodha.
You're not restless because Benazir...
...is going to marry His Highness.
Rather, it is because you're in love with His Highness.
Moti, I've told you about this earlier, too.
I've got no such feelings for His Highness.
You say this, Jodha.
But, one's face is a mirror of his heart.
And these worries on your face reveal that...
...you really love His Highness.
You also know why His Highness is marrying Benazir.
Just to make you feel jealous.
He's avenging since you had pushed him...
...by bothering you.
Adgah, I know I'm giving you very little time.
But, I'd still want you to make arrangements for...
...my wedding with Benazir, as quickly as possible.
Because, now, it's not just about Benazir's safety...
...but, about the rumours spread amongst the subjects...
...that she's a venomous woman.
I understand, Your Highness.
Everything will be arranged in time.
Very good, Adgah, I expected that from you.
If you don't mind, I want to ask you something...
...as your loyal aide.
As my loyal aide, you can ask me anything.
Your Highness!
You look disturbed.
What is bothering you?
It's nothing, Adgah. It's just the cold, affecting me.
The weather brings changes in one's health.
You can go, Adgah.
Greetings, Your Highness.
You may say it's hatred...
...or His Highness may consider it as revenge.
But, I can clearly see that it is love.
Jodha, since the day you pushed His Highness...
...he has lost his smile.
He stays alone.
A strange dissatisfaction is seen on his face.
You don't look too happy after that night, either.
Moti, I told you.
I've no such feelings for His Highness.
Alright, then. Let him marry Benazir.
Why spoil your health?
I don't know that.
But, I can't let His Highness marry a venomous woman.
I didn't accept him as my husband.
But, he's the symbol of my status as a married woman.
I can't let him get killed.
He may get angry on me, or punish me.
Or he may throw me out of Agra.
I must protect him, Moti.
I want to protect him at any cost, Moti. Because, I...
Because what, Jodha?
I...
...I...
I must meet Sharifuddin, Moti.
How do I look today, Zakira?
Very beautiful.
But Benazir, I don't understand...
...your drama of jumping in the well.
This dress is a gift of that drama.
I realised that this is the right chance...
...to win His Highness' sympathy.
Before jumping in the well, I saw that...
...the Mughal soldiers are coming to me.
Then, everything happened as I wished.
I jumped into the well.
The Mughal soldiers brought me out.
His Highness sympathised with me on seeing me injured.
The rest of the job, was done by my fake tears.
I hit the right target.
And what about your loyalty to Abul Mali?
Will you forget your goals to be a queen?
I'll be loyal.
And I'll also get to my goal.
After all, I've loved Abul Mali.
Great!
You loved Abul Mali.
Will you marry the emperor Jalal?
I'll be a queen.
But, not emperor Jalal's queen.
Rather of emperor Abul Mali.
Before the wedding, I'll kill Jalal.
Before I marry him, Agra will mourn his death.
Then, I'll release Abul Mali.
Abul Mali will become the emperor and I'll be his queen.
This marriage is just a move to kill the emperor, Zakira.
How fortunate I am!
Today, lady Jodha came to see me without my message!
I want to save His Highness' at any cost, lord Sharifuddin.
He's going to marry Benazir.
I'm confused as to what I should do.
How do I stop him?
You love that man a lot.
Lord Sharifuddin, behave yourself.
Sorry, lady Jodha!
All I mean to say is that, His Highness is very lucky...
...to get a lady wife like you.
Tell me, how can I serve you?
I tried my very best to tell His Highness...
...the truth about Benazir.
His Highness also tested her, but somehow...
...she managed to escape.
Now, everyone feels that I'm jealous of Benazir...
...and that's why I've accused her wrongly.
No one trusts me.
But, I do.
I've told you about Benazir.
I must stop this wedding at any cost.
But, I can't see any way out.
There's a way.
But, it is very dangerous.
Would you like to take that risk for His Highness?
I can go to any extent to save His Highness.
He's the emperor of the Mughal empire.
People pray for his long life.
Just tell me what to do.
You must expose Benazir, once again.
But, how?
No one listens to me without any witness.
That's what I mean.
This time you must appear...
...before everyone with evidence.
You must catch Benazir in the act.
Venomous women need snake poison at regular intervals.
Close all the paths for snakes to reach Benazir.
In a fit of rage, she'll definitely show her true nature.
Alright! I'll leave, now.
What has happened, master?
Sabir, I feel there's some problem in Agra.
Master, should we inform His Highness through a letter?
No, Sabir.
Everything will resolve itself on its own.
Because, no matter how dense the dark clouds are...
...they have to move further.
The sun shines bright, again.
Two very strong powers.
Two different mentalities.
And two different personalities...
...are going to be one, soon.
Very soon, the world will witness a change.
A change...
...that love will bring.
Why do you feel that ways?
This is God's signal.
Now, everything that happens will become history.
People's existence will change.
With that, there'll be change in His Highness Jalal's thinking.
Now, he'll understand the meaning of his name.
Now, he'll know the meaning of love.
Love is rushing forth to battle with time.
Almighty, grace everyone with your mercy.
Mother, just recently a wedding...
...was cancelled in the palace.
I don't want any big celebration...
...for my wedding to Benazir.
Because, now only my brother Mirza...
...will marry amidst a grand celebration.
Anyway, this wedding is...
...taking place for Benazir's safety.
You're right, Jalal.
Still, think again.
I don't need to think too hard, mother.
Everyone has seen what has happened.
I can either marry Benazir and provide her safety.
Or hand her over to the public.
And you know what had...
...happened to Adham Khan.
The public was hell bent on killing him.
I don't want anything like that to happen to Benazir.
Greetings, Your Highness.
Benazir wants to see you.
Send her.
Greetings, Your Highness.
Tell me, Benazir.
I always wished to get married.
But, I always knew it is not possible for a slave like me.
But, your kindness will make my dream come true.
My mother used to say...
...that before marriage I must go...
...to the shrine with my groom.
I hear, there is a shrine of Maula Daulat Sha...
...in Kot Parwan across the river Yamuna.
If you allow me, I'd like to go there with you.
Why do you need to take permission, Benazir?
Visiting a sacred place brings peace.
I'll be happy to come with you tonight for prayers.
Thank you, Your Highness. Greetings!
Nice idea, Zakira.
His Highness agreed at once.
I'm proud of your intelligence.
I've got the opportunity I always wanted.
On our way to the shrine, there won't be...
...lady Jodha nor the Mughal soldiers...
...to get between me and His Highness.
Yes, but, today...
...you must achieve your goal at any cost, Benazir.
Because, if you miss this chance, too...
...it'll be very difficult.
Then, people will always surround His Highness...
...for the wedding preparations and you won't get a chance.
And listen.
While crossing the river...
...only you and His Highness will be in the boat.
We will be surrounded by water.
His Highness won't be able to escape.
I'll do my job and jump into the water.
No one will find me.
The poor emperor!
He's going to the Almighty's door.
He'll get killed before reaching his destination.
Then, Abul Mali will get out of the dungeon.
Then, he will marry me!
Greetings, my lady.
Lady Salima is here.
Send her in.
Greetings, mother.
Salutations!
-Sit down! -Thanks!
You are dismissed.
Lady Salima, I've been thinking.
Even Jalal consults you on important matters.
So, I thought of asking you to give some suggestion.
How can I give you any suggestion, mother?
Even I'm worried.
Is it about the same issue?
-Lady Jodha? -Lady Jodha?
I'm happy to know that you are thinking of the same.
Lady Jodha has made a serious charge against Benazir.
But, nothing was proved at the meeting hall.
Does that mean what Jodha saw was wrong?
Mother, if it was anyone else in lady Jodha's place...
...I'd consider it an illusion.
But till date, I've never heard lady Jodha...
...telling a lie or hatching conspiracies against anyone.
I also feel that Jodha can't...
...accuse anyone without any reason.
Absolutely.
Mother, many a times it happens...
...that we don't have any evidence.
But, that doesn't change the truth.
Which means, Jalal's life is definitely at risk.
We must keep a watch on Benazir.
We must give a chance to Jodha to prove what she said.
I feel relaxed after talking to you, mother.
Alright, then.
Do as you feel right.
Keep your eyes and ears open...
...and watch Benazir, carefully.
And lady Jodha might need...
...your support at the moment.
Your orders will be followed.
I didn't do anything wrong by calling you. Goodbye!
Goodbye!
Greetings, lady Salima.
Salutations, lady Jodha.
Tell me, what brings you here?
I was worried about you, lady Jodha.
That's why I came to see you.
You always think about me. Right, lady Salima?
But, I'm sure you won't agree with me in Benazir's case. Right?
It's not true, lady Jodha.
I trust you.
Does that mean you believe that Benazir...
...is a venomous woman?
Though Benazir has proved her innocence, lady Jodha...
...but since you're saying that...
...you've seen her consuming poison...
...I can't ignore what you say.
I've come to tell you...
...that you must not consider yourself alone.
I'm with you in all your troubles and bad times.
Thank you, lady Salima.
I could see only the darkness around.
You showed me a ray of hope.
His Highness is your husband, as well.
You trusted me. I'm happy to know this.
Lady Salima, we just need to keep His Highness away...
...from Benazir at any cost.
My God! Something is going to happen...
...which is the exact opposite of what you are saying.
Tonight Benazir and His Highness...
...are going to Daulat Mohammad Sha's shrine...
...at Parwan Kot, across the river Yamuna.
Benazir has made some vow, it seems.
It's not a vow!
It's is her conspiracy to take His Highness away.
So that, she can attack His Highness when he's alone.
Lady Salima, now we must do something.
Something so that His Highness...
...will not go alone with Benazir.
But, what do we do?
What do we do so that we can save His Highness...
...from that venomous woman, Lady Salima?
Soldiers, His Highness is going to Kot Parwan shrine...
...with Benazir.
It's night time. Take your positions and be alert!
If you permit me...
...can I row your boat?
Why do you want to trouble yourself, Benazir?
You're an emperor. A daredevil warrior...
...who should be alert all the time on the battlefield.
When there's no war, you must take rest.
When your special servant knows how to row...
...why do we need a boatman?
Boatman, she'll row the boat. You can leave.
"This is the time."
"There's darkness as well as privacy."
Thank you, Your Highness.
You're always there to support me.
I wonder, when I'll repay your favours.
What happened, lady Jodha?
She has come very close to His Highness.
What are you waiting for?
I was also wondering, why have I waited till now?
She has compelled me.
Benazir, be careful!
What will happen now, lady Jodha?
Soldiers have surrounded the area.
We'll be caught, lady Jodha.
Don't worry, lady Salima.
I know a secret passage to get out of here.
No one will be able to catch us.
Come! Come, Moti!
I must appreciate you, lady Jodha.
You're not only brave, but intelligent as well.
I could never do such a daring feat in life.
I got weapons training in Amer. I've used it, today.
And, lady Salima...
...many times, circumstances make us brave.
Good!
You separated His Highness from Benazir, somehow.
And that secret passage?
Even I don't know about it.
How do you know it?
His Highness had shown me once.
After today's incident it feels...
...that the Almighty is with us, lady Jodha.
He made sure, it was done in the nick of time.
You made an instant decision to use archery...
...and I reached you in time.
Then, we got back to the palace, safely.
This can't be a coincidence.
I feel that the Almighty's grace is with us.
I only want God to be with us all the time.
Tell Adgah to meet me, now.
Take care of her.
This wound is not important.
It can be taken care of later.
Adgah, what does your investigation have to say?
Who could have attacked us?
Soldiers have searched the entire area, Your Highness.
But, the attackers have disappeared.
A few arrows were found there.
Surprisingly, they belong to the Mughal empire.
It means, someone I know attacked me.
Quite possibly!
Chances are, that he's an outsider, too.
He can be Abul Mali's man.
Or one of our men has joined hands with Abul Mali.
In order to misguide us, he has used Mughal weapons.
Do you remember, His Highness?
Abul Mali threatened to attack you.
No, Adgah! This isn't Abul Mali's doing.
Because, if it was his doing...
...this arrow would have killed me.
One can also miss the target, Your Highness.
No Adgah, I also thought so.
Later, I realised that the attack wasn't for me.
It wasn't for me.
It was for Benazir.
I think, it was one of our subjects...
...who considers Benazir a venomous woman.
Anyway, I want our spies to spread everywhere.
I don't want anyone to attack me during the wedding...
...thinking, that I'm not alert.
Considering this attack, I feel...
You are dismissed.
Wait, lady Jodha!
What do you think, lady Jodha?
Who could have attacked me?
Maybe, your enemy.
No, no, lady Jodha.
Had it been my enemy...
...these arrows would have killed me, but...
...this isn't my enemy's doing.
I think, the one who has done this...
...didn't wish me any ill.
But, he also didn't wish anything good for Benazir.
Because, given the evidence I feel that...
...this is something done by someone I know.
Do you remember, lady Jodha?
When we were in Amer...
...one such incident happened with us...
...and I saved you. I hope you remember.
Something similar happened tonight, lady Jodha.
Benazir and I were going to the shrine together.
We were quite close to each other.
Suddenly, someone attacked us with arrows.
I saved Benazir in the same way I had saved you.
But, that brave archer escaped.
He attacked me in such a way...
...as if he wanted to kill me, but not a single arrow passed by me.
But, how did you get this injury?
This scratch?
I got this scratch on the boat while saving Benazir.
Lady Jodha, I think someone didn't wish me...
...to go to the shrine with Benazir.
I'm really sorry that you couldn't go to the shrine.
Anyway, the arrows are found.
Soon, the attacker will also be in my clutches.
Lady Jodha, why do you think...
...I was attacked?
It's possible that whoever has done this...
...wanted to stop you from going across the river.
I also feel the same, lady Jodha.
But, lady Jodha...
...you don't want me to go close to Benazir, either.
So, did you attack me?
No!
No, you can't attack me.
You can't attack me.
You may go, lady Jodha.
Greetings, Your Highness.
"Did His Highness know that I had attacked him?"
Greetings, my lady. Lady Salima wants to see you.
Escort her in.
Salutations, lady Jodha.
Greetings!
When His Highness stopped you, I was scared...
...that you were caught.
But, I'm happy to see you here.
It means that His Highness doesn't know about this.
Or else, he has come to know all about it.
-What? -Yes.
But how, lady Jodha?
I don't know that.
But, the way he was talking and asking me...
...he has realised that I'd attacked him.
My God!
Then, what did he say?
Even I'm perplexed.
He didn't say anything to me, although he knows the truth.
He didn't shout at me, nor punish me...
...nor did he get angry on me.
He just told me to leave.
It's possible that he doesn't wish to punish you, lady Jodha.
But, why would he want to do that?
It's possible that he loves...
Forget about it, lady Salima.
It's not important, why he didn't punish me.
The important fact is that now the army will be alert.
Adgah Khan will not leave His Highness alone.
His Highness will be surrounded...
...by the soldiers, all the time.
In that case, Benazir will never achieve her goal.
That's really good news...
...that now, Benazir will stay away from His Highness.
But, not for much longer.
Soon, Benazir will make a new move.
Lady Salima, we must do something.
Before Benazir makes her move...
...we must expose her.
Benazir, tomorrow is the henna ceremony.
You're getting married, the day after tomorrow.
Don't worry.
We still have enough time.
Don't try to convince me, Zakira.
I know, I don't have time.
My ploys have failed, consistently.
I had the best chance, this time.
But, I was unlucky to miss it.
I can't wait till the wedding.
We must do something immediately.
What about the man who was going to come to help us?
Any news about him?
After the attack on His Highness...
...the security is tighter, Benazir.
It's possible that, he's stuck somewhere.
Besides, it's not easy to accomplish.
So make it easy, Zakira.
I'm failing at every moment.
Now, it's time to strike once and for all.
Strike once and for all?
Good imagination!
But, you will never succeed while I'm here, Benazir.
So, you'll stop me, lady Jodha?
Did you see that, Zakira?
She'll stop me.
But, I must appreciate that you're very brave.
You've entered alone in a venomous woman's room!
I'm a Rajput girl.
We only fear losing our honour.
We never back stab like you.
I can even kill a snake, if it comes in front of me.
Do you understand?
And what if, the snake bites you?
Don't touch me.
Lousy woman!
A lousy woman means a characterless woman!
Strange! You hate this lousy woman.
But, His Highness is crazy for this lousy woman.
So much so, that he's going to marry me.
And your husband is restless...
...to invite his death, lady Jodha.
While you? Till now, you've failed in your attempts...
...and you will fail, even in the future.
Rather, you've made my job easier.
Your allegations showed me the path to be a lady wife.
You wanted to save His Highness from me...
...but, he's willing to marry me.
Your laughter is full of anger rather than victory.
Because, you haven't succeeded in your aim.
You won't.
Do you know why?
Because, there's a law of nature.
Goodness always prevails over evil.
You may try a lot.
But, I'll expose you very soon.
Then, you'll have a deadly end, like any other poisonous snake.
Alright!
Then, you can sit and wait.
Meanwhile, I'll do my job and leave.
No one will be able to destroy me.
But, of course...
...you'll definitely repent after losing everything.
Anyway, don't waste my time.
The henna ceremony is going to take place.
I've to make a lot of arrangements.
After all, I've to look like a royal wife.
Laugh!
This is your last laugh.
Since, you might not get a chance to laugh in future.
While I'm alive, no one can harm His Highness.
Wow! What fierce love!
This is my duty.
You will not understand.
Before marriage, I had vowed...
...to face every crisis before my husband.
And we Rajputs, can die...
...but, we won't break our promise.
Are you not scared of my poison?
No!
You may not know about Meerabai.
She was a Rajput girl.
Even the bowl full of poison couldn't harm her.
I am a Rajput girl like her, too.
You can't do anything to me, Benazir.
You will not be able to harm His Highness.
If this is my last laugh...
...then I'll sting you before I die, lady Jodha.
Did you see that, Zakira?
She's still not ready to accept defeat.
Go, Zakira.
Arrange for my meeting with that man, by any means.
The one who's going to help me.
If he can't come to the palace...
...I'll go out to meet him.
Your Highness, if you allow me, let me apply...
...some ointment on your wound.
Leave it, physician. I've brought a herbal paste.
Last time, His Highness' wounds healed quickly...
...with this herbal paste.
Is this the way you do your duty?
His Highness said, that he doesn't need protection.
And you agreed?
He told a boatman that Benazir will row the boat.
The boatman left the boat!
You could have taken...
...another boat to go with him, if not that one.
Is this a joke?
You tell me. Have you caught anyone?
No outsider is involved in this attack, my lady.
It's someone who is close to His Highness.
The person used our arrows and then disappeared, quickly.
It indicates that it's someone from the palace.
Alright!
If that's the case...
...then, all of you...
...will follow His Highness like his shadow.
What's your enmity with the royal physician?
You never let him do his job.
By the way, this is also a new way of yours.
You inflict the wound and you come to treat it.
You were wounded, when you tried to save Benazir.
I didn't hurt you.
Yes. But, you know very well that this wound was caused...
...by you in some way.
I don't quite understand.
A gesture is more than enough for the wise.
Emperor, what is this I hear?
Why did you refuse to let the soldiers come with you?
Why did you let the boatman go?
If you make such mistakes, I will have to arrange for something.
Lady Ruqaiya, I know that you are worried about me.
You are not pretending.
But, be at ease.
Inspite of this happening, I am safe.
No, Emperor. You feel everything is fine.
But, it doesn't mean everything is fine.
You are not worried about your safety.
But, I am worried.
Emperor, apply this medicine immediately.
Or your wound will fester.
Yes, Emperor. Lady Jodha is right.
You need medicinal attention, first.
Give it to me. Let me apply it.
Lady Jodha, do you know something?
Why am I the chief queen?
As the Emperor himself doesn't interfere in my affairs.
Leave this place.
I don't want anyone to interfere between me and the Emperor.
Leave.
Here, Jalal. Let me apply the medicine.
