Jodha Akbar (Balaji Telefilms), viewers will see Akbar in a
completely new and different look on the show. Going against
all odds to help save a 14 year old girl from being forced into
child marriage, Akbar (Rajat Tokas) will dress in disguise as a
choodiwala in order to get to the root of the matter.
Understanding that a 14 year old girl from his kingdom is
about to get married to a man double her age, Akbar along
with some help from Jodha (Paridhi Sharma) takes up the
cause of putting an end to the regressive tradition of child
marriage in his kingdom. In order to investigate who the man
is, Akbar dresses up as a choodiwala so as to not to be
recognized by the henchmen of his kingdom. In his attempt to
unearth the truth behind this child marriage, Akbar discovers
that it is none other than his evil step-brother Adham Khan
who has forced the marriage upon the poor girl by offering her
greedy father the lure of riches.
Donning a completely different look for the sequence, actor
Rajat Tokas as the choodiwala' is a stark departure from his
usual look of Emperor Akbar. Wearing a long robe and
sporting a scraggly 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 strong stand
against Adham Khan and child marriage irk mother
Mahamanga and evoke her to act against him?
