Jodhaa Akbar Page #9

- Yes, Your Majesty.

Make no mistake.

You will infiltrate the Emperor's

army and find a way into his tent...

...and at the opportune moment,

kill the Emperor!

Also, Jalaluddin has told Bharmal...

...to grant Sujamal

his rights to Amer's throne.

Make sure Sujamal

learns nothing of this.

Once we get rid of the Emperor,

Sujamal comes next.

Don't ask questions!

We are withdrawing

our support of Sharifuddin.

As you command.

Take our men and fight alongside

Jalaluddin's army.

Hurry! There is very little time.

As you command...

What is the meaning of this?

- Kumbhaa?

- What happened? Surprised?

Wasn't he the one you sent to warn Jalaluddin?

Yes. Because I wanted to stop you.

If you're a true warrior, then fight

Jalaluddin on the battlefield.

Not by conspiracy!

Not by conspiracy?

When you asked me

to help overthrow King Bharmal...

...wasn't that a conspiracy?

Where was your loyalty then?

On your guard!

Horsemen approaching!

It's Sujamal!

Sujamal!

Warn the Emperor!

Bhagwan Das, pull out the arrows!

Is this Sujamal?

Yes, Your Majesty.

Sharifuddin has sent an assassin

disguised as a Royal Guard to kill you.

Take him away!

Thank you, Uncle. I am grateful to you.

You agreed to offer me my share...

I made a mistake... in judging you

O Allah!

Jodhaa will be distraught!

She betrayed me!

No, Sujamal. You are mistaken.

It was I, who mistrusted her,

and wanted you arrested.

- Jodhaa is not at fault.

- What?

Jodhaa, I misunderstood you

and doubted your integrity...

...forgive me...

Don't say that!

I misunderstood you...

...I hurt your honour...

No, brother!

May you stay forever happy!

You are... a great man!

I was wrong...

to have not understood you.

What you have done for Jodhaa...

...will make future generations

honour and respect you...

Banu...

...Sharifuddin is a rebel.

He has committed treason against me.

The only punishment

for such a man is death.

Justice demands that I kill him.

I don't know if he is right or wrong.

But the need of the hour is...

...to let your spirit of forgiveness

guide your decision.

O Allah, what must I do?

First Adham and now Sharifuddin...

...why do my close ones have

to fall under the shadow of my sword?

I expected this behaviour from you...

...but it is your misfortune

that I survived.

I could have made you Governor

of other provinces besides Ajmer.

Rebellion results in only one thing...

and that is bloodshed.

Didn't you think of 'bloodshed'

when you mercilessly killed Adham Khan?

That was a different matter,

Sharifuddin.

How unfair!

You can't state the 'rules of the game'

and make the moves too.

This time I decide the rules.

I am listening.

If you want, we can prevent bloodshed.

And how is that?

Fight me!

In an arm-to-arm combat.

If I win,

then Hindustan will be mine.

And if I lose,

I will leave this country forever!

I accept!

This is no way to crush a revolt.

Why did you accept?

To prevent bloodshed.

Forgive me, Your Majesty, you forget

Sharifuddin is fierce and vicious.

I'm aware of that.

He is a strong man.

But I won't let Hindustan

fall in the wrong hands!

Sharifuddin!

If you were not my brother-in-law...

...this spear would

have gone through you!

Only for my sister's sake...

...I forgive you!

I am taking back

your provinces from you.

You will not be allowed to take any

administrative decisions from now on.

As you command.

And all your life...

you will remain loyal to me!

Yes, Your Majesty!

- Emperor Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar!

- Long live!

Respected Saadir Adaasi Sahib...

...the happiness of life...

...cannot be divided

on religious grounds.

I am a follower of Islam... a Muslim!

And yet, I bow my head,

in respect for every religion.

The people of my Empire are free...

...to worship and practice

their religions.

But it is a shame

you failed to understand me.

Now it is my wish.

You dedicate your life to

Allah and travel to Holy Mecca!

Now I request

the Rajput Empress of Hindustan...

...to join me here.

To all present and the Mughal empire,

I say this for the last time -

Queen Jodhaa is a Hindu Rajput.

She is my wife.

And the Empress of Hindustan!

Any act against her, is an act

against the Mughal empire.

Let one more thing

be known to one and all!

Respect and tolerance

of every religion...

...will make the future

of Hindustan glorious!

So be it!

Anything else for the day,

Chughtai Khan?

Only a prayer for your good health.

This was the story of Jodhaa Akbar.

Their love story is

not a part of folklore.

Nor is their love ever discussed.

Perhaps, it is because...

history never gave them any importance.

But the truth is...

... that Jodhaa and Akbar, together...

... silently...

... made history!
