He says anyways tell me what you wanna say, atgah says i checked financial records and their is alot corruption in money collection, we should appoint a person to collect money who should be experienced and reliable, i think mirza is good.

She also told me about geeta, jalal ask what else, rahim says something in pure hindi which jodha taught, jalal ask meaning, rahim tells him that it means do your work with concentration and dont fear because everything is of worth and you will get in return what you do.

maham is thinking something, jiji anga comes there, maham says you come to see that i lost my position, that i am low than you now. Jiji says you have wrong thinking and its your fault. Maham says no its jodha, she came inbetween me and jalal, she provoked jalal, she was behind me, she instigated jalal to take action against me. Jiji says you are still wrong, you wanted to be someone, you became then you became someone big and see you lost everything. Maham says its all fault of your husband atgah, if he wouldnt have told jalal about suja then i wouldnt be in this position. He snatched my position, jiji says enough my husband didnt do anything wrong, it was you who betrayed jalal, when some women feeds milk to a child then she becomes his mother, you still have chance as if jodha forgives you then everything will be alright, maham says what? You want me to go to jodha and pleads in feet to forgive, i will die, i will cut my head but i will never bow down infront of her, jiji you should be ashamed to call yourself a mughal as you are asking me to beg infront of rajvanshi, i will never do that. She ask jiji to go, jiji says you still have wrong thinking, maham says to get lost. She leaves. Maham says i lost but not everything. I still have something.
Maham is going to secret place and jiji’s words rings in her ears to be a mother. She says to soldier that some people got to know about this place, they have doubt and can come here but stay away from them and dont tell them whats happening here.
She comes inside, she takes child from ground and says i waited for long, i have lost alot for you to speak but i cant wait now. She grabs child and says i lost everything and my only way to get back all is you, you have to open your mouth now otherwise i will kill you.

bharmal says suja and shivani brought shame to us. meena thinks why to think about that, bahrmal says my daughter ran away and didn’t talk to anyone. jodha says think from shivani’s perspective, she left her riches, she left jala’s brother and went with a common man, she had strong love, infront of love she didn’t think of money, family anything, bharmal says how can a person leave her family for love of common man, jodha says maybe you are right and maybe shivani is also right. jodha says maybe suja is also right, he says why he went to you like a eunuch, jodha says he came there to see me then he got to know about conspiracy against jalal, because of promise he gave to me he stayed there and misunderstanding created between me and jalal but suja didn’t had wrong intension. I know you have love for them in heart and you want good for them that’s why you are so hurt.
Scene 3
in agra, shivani and tej are being caught and brought to palace, moyi sees them and says jalal will not spare them as he is very angry he didn’t spare even jalal.
ruks comes to maham and says you are so cheap, she says you are dual face, you wear white dress to be so innocent but you plotted such cheap thing, why didn’t you tell me truth, maham says I didn’t tell you that he was suja but you alos want jodha to go away from me, ruks says I yes I wanted but not by this cheap to blame jodha that she is having affair with her brother this is so cheap, maham says it was in good of all, ruks says no you did it for your own selfish motives,
I was jealous with jodha but why you did that with jodha?? maham says for jalal, that he doesn’t go away from me or you, ruks says jalal can never go away from me, he is mine always. maham says wow, you were with me till you wanted jodha to be thrown out but now when I am facing wrath of my plan then you are saying that I was alone, now I am game planner, I am sinner, I betrayed jalal and you didn’t do anything, you also wanted jodha to be away from jalal and you also plotted against her,
you also played games only our way was different. maham says you can back out as it is saying that when ship sinks mouse run from it 1st but they don’t know that they are running towards water only, she says you are not accepting it but you also know that jalal has been snatched from you, he is close to jodha now, ruks looks at her, and leaves.
Scene 3
in court, all are waiting for jalal to punish shivani and tej, jiji says they are caught at wrong time as jalal is very angry these days and also he is very hurt, salima says I think jalal has started to understand love so he will understand them, jiji says when person is injured then he only thinks of revenge, salima says some injuries changes man.
jalal comes there, atgah says they ran away and also shivani was committed to mirza, we caught tej and shivani get herself arrested too, one priest says they did sin so give the punishment, jalal ask tej to speak, tej says we ran away as we were in love before shivani was committed to mirza, we saved three lives, and if you think love as crime then give punishment, jalal says when you were in love then why did you both run away?
tej says if we woulfd have told it to all then nobody will have accepted it as one side was your brother and other side was bharmal so our love woulnt have accepted, shivani says I am sorry and also I saved mirza as if I got married to him then he would been happy with me and also it is not right that I marry some other man and love some toher man so ran with tej, I just listened to my heart, ruks says to hamida that I am scared as jalal is very short tempered these days and also jodha is not here to save her sister.
jalal says to atgah that you say they are criminals and they are saying they loved only, whats problem, atgah says you only ordered me to catch them, jalal says yes I said that because I was sad for my brother then he came to me and said that he would have more hurt if shivani married him, jalal says I felt that love is pure, whom we love we cant see them hurt, how can a pure feeling be called sin, mirza also loved so he is criminal too, jalal says my mother and every person loved someone so all are culprits, jalal says love doesn’t see any family, region, tradition or any religion, love only see one thing that is love itself and criminal is that person who come inbetween love. jalal says salute to your love that you both won from all, look at shivani, I know bharmal must have given her everything, every luxury but she left all for a common man, got his love so think how much love important so getting this pure thing is not sin, love is pure. he says I am setting them free, shivani sits in his feet and says you have very good heart, jalal says don’t sit in feet your sister will not like it, you understands love, jalal thinks wish I could have understood love before, so jodha would be here. jalal gives job to tej in his palace, shivani says may you get everything in your, may you get all happiness, jalal thinks my happiness is only jodha.

jalal says not your fault but my fault as I couldn’t see problems of my people, I now feel this tax is burden so I am announcing to remove this tax, atgah says but this tax is collected from many years, jalal says I told you earlier that if something is happening from year then that doesn’t mean its right, PRECAP. jalal says it is unfair to collect money for prayers, will my god allow me to collect this money? it is unfair to collect interest in islam, it hurts man, if I stop them from prayers will they not curse me? munim and atgah agrees, he ask atgah to bring that solders who were beating them, jalal ask with whom order you were beating common hindus, with whom order you were taking more tax,
soldier bluntly denies it and says nothing of that sort happened you are mistaken. jalal says I was there and I stopped you, he says this is all unfair, he ask to beat these soldiers and put them behind bars and take their property, jalal ask to bring shopkeeper who was seeling at hight price, jalal shouts on them that you corrupted people will not allow me to rise,

qazi says we are with you but removing yatra tax is not good jalal says then every muslim will pay tax too, qazi says what are you saying, jalal says all are equal for me whether hindu and muslim, qazi says you are deviating from rules, jalal says king is for hindus and muslims both and don’t forget all are my people, agriculture is developed by hindu and muslim too,
adham and baghwan das both took wounds for me, todal and atgah both serves me when god sends rain it is sent to both hindu and muslim house, qazi says you are ignoring muslims, you are putting hindus in palace too, jalal says we honest and worthy people, I took that people who will serve us good, jalal says our people betray more, one minister says it will burden finance, adham says if we remove yatra tax then from where will money come for expenses of government,
jalal says says valid question, he ask todal to tell if we remove tax then how much will it effect finance of government, todal says it will effect initially but then people will praise you so roits will be less which will be good, prople will be happy by this, qazi says this is wrong, jalal says enough I told you to not speak in politics and if anybody is not satisfied that he can leave, people are important for me, I am announcing that yatra tax will not be taken from now on, he ask atgah to tell this in other states, salima and hamida are happy.
Atgah hands the no tax order to the messengers and they are ordered to hand them over to the respective overlords, chieftains , governors .. The messengers are strictly instructed to convey to the said overlords and governors Any violation of the order will result in harsh punishment.

The Incisive mind of Pratap immediately grasps the difficulties that Jalal ‘s decision has thrown up..He is sure now that Hiindu subjects will support him as the sore spot has been removed .. but Pratap is undeterred ..He swears to oppose Jalal at every turn as he is a invader. The Rajputs are impresed.
