Written update 15th jan Jodha Akbar

Everyone is in the darbar,still awaiting for Jodha and Shivani to return from the temple. Jalal is now tensed,he comes and speaks to Bhaarmal,why was it taking so long?If it would have taken so much time,he would have told them to go after the wedding. But Jodha had told him that they would come back in sometime. Bhaarmal replies by saying he too was wondering the same;he tells Daadisaa that she shouldn't have let them go in the first place.

 

Jalal orders Atga to go bring them back.

 

Meanwhile Maham and Resham come to Jodha's chamber. As they await Jodha's return,Maham's eyes fall on an expensive looking necklace which was laying on the floor. Complaining about the maids' carelessness,she picks it up,it is now that she finds a letter along with it.

 

It was addressed to Jodha and it was from Shivani. She had described her love for Tej and why she was taking this drastc step.

 

Maham is in celebratory mood now.

 

In the temple,Jodha is getting worked up thinking about what she would say to Jalal and to her father. How could she face them?

 

Just then a few soldiers whom she had sent to go find Shivani had returned with bad news. They couldn't find her. She possibly had crossed over the Jamuna.

 

Jodha is shattered. How could Shivani do this?!

 

The atmosphere in the darbar wasn't good. All were tensed. Jalal sends more men to go find what was taking so long.

 

Adham comes to meet Maham and asks her what was she waiting for? Why hadn't she given the letters to Jalal till now?

 

Maham had other plans. She would give it to Ruqaiya instead. This would spare her all the questioning regarding where she got them from? Did she know about this before? Why hadn't she told Jalal then?

 

If Ruqaiya shows him the letters,he wouldn't ask her such things.

 

So,just as planned,Maham gives the letters(the latest one addressed to Jodha and the ones she had collected from Shivani's chamber,her live letters)to Ruqaiya and adds mirch masala-she says that she found ALL these letters from Jodha's chamber. So that means she knew about this before hand.

 

Ruqaiya sends Hoshiyaar to call for Jalal from the darbar. Jalal arrives,only to get ambushed. Ruqaiya tells him about how was it possible that Jalaluddin Mohammad,the great emperor gets fooled by a woman?

 

Jalal is furious and asks her to mind get tongue,if she wasn't his favourite wife,she would have been dead for speaking go him disrespectfully. Ruqaiya tells him that she wouldn't mind dieing,but before that he needed to know about Jodha's backstabbing.

 

Jodha,the woman he blindly trusts,has done nothing other than insulting him. Why does run behind her,when she doesn't even give a damn?why is he behaving like this? She overpowers his capability of thinking is it?

 

but not anymore,she had taken things too far this time,not only had she insulted him,but the mughal sultanate's pride was at stake this time.

 

She tells him that shivani had eloped with her lover and jodha knew all about it.

 

He asks her to read the letters. Jalal is in deep thought now.

 

Its night time now,Jodha finally returns to the palace. She's in tears thinking about the aftermath.

 

Jalal asks her to arrive in his chamber. Ruqaiya is also there. Jalal is quietly seated,as Ruqaiya fires at Jodha. Jodha tells them that she honestly didn't know about this. If she did,she wouldn't have spoken of Hakim's marriage with her. Ruqaiya asks her to stop lieing. Jodha says that she's not. Ruqaiya then asks then how did the letters land in her chamber? Jodha replies saying just how the dature ka ark had landed in salima's chamber,even though she had nothing to do with it.

 

Ruqaiya rubbishes it,but not Jalal. He tells Ruqaiya that Jodha was telling the truth. If she knew about it,Shivani wouldn't have written the letter addressed to her. Jodha was innocent.

 

If anyone was responsible,it was Bhaarmal. No wonder he wasn't hesitant marrying off his daughter to a mughal. This suggests that he knew about his daughter's love affair.So in an attempt to cover up this,he decided it was a good thing to marry her off.

 

Precap : Jalal is talking to Jodha,making her understand that they(either Bhaarmal or shivani) had taken advantage of his trust.The mughal sultanate is being laughed at because of his lack of judgement,so he had to punish the guilty. He had sent his soldiers to find them. Jodha protests,but Jalal's anger rises,he tells her "No,Jodhs. Not this time." He immediately tries to calm himself down,his attempt to keep his anger at bay is visible.
