AkDha join hands and eradicate Child Marriage

This week on Jodha Akbar, the show will address and fight the issue of child marriage.

To help save a 14 year old from being thrown into chold marriage, we will see Akbar in the disguise of a choodiwala to tackle with the problem.

Seeing that a 14 year old girl from his kingdom is to marry an old man, Akbar with Jodha's help wants to put an end to this regressive tradition for good. To investigate this matter further, Akbar dresses up as a choodiwala in order to not be recognized by the locals. In his quest Akbar discovers that its his own brother Adham Khan who has offered the 14 year old a lot of money to get the daugther married.

In a long robe and beard, Rajat looks quite convincing as a Mughal choodiwala.

About this special sequence, Rajat said, "I had no idea what a choodiwala back in the Mughal era looked like until I donned this unique look. I quite enjoyed getting into this character as it was quite different in terms of get-up, body language, demeanor and style of dialogue delivery. It is intriguing that an emperor should go to such great lengths to get to the bottom of a serious issue and take a strong stand against malpractices in his kingdom. The subject of child marriage is a very interesting track on the show and has captivated the audience attention."

Akbar will be joined by Jodha to fight the cause and eradicate child marriage from his kingdom.

Will Akbar's stand against Adham Khan go down well with his mother Mahamanga?

Stay tuned.
