Jodha
Akbar
16th
January
written
Episode:
Akbar
calls
Jodha’s
father
King
Varmal
and
accuses
him
of
hiding
the
fact
of
Shivani’s
love
affair
with
Tejwant.
Varmal
admits
his
fault.
Akbar
sends
him
to
prison.
Mirza
tries
to
prevent
this
but
he
fails.
The
whole
family
of
Jodha
is
insulted
to
a
great
extent.
Maha
Manga
and
Begum
Rukaiya
are
pleased
to
see
that
Jodha’s
father
is
punished.
Mirza
tells
Akbar
that
love
is
a
thing
that
can
be
the
greatest
power
in
human
being
as
well
as
the
greatest
weakness.
When
a
person
is
in
true
love,
he
or
she
cannot
discriminate
between
a
king
and
a
beggar.
He
also
says
that
it
would
have
been
worse,
if
it
were
exposed
after
the
marriage.
Three
lives
would
have
been
destroyed
in
that
case.
Mirza
again
tells
Akbar
that
if
Akbar
punishes
Shivani
and
her
lover,
he
would
be
hurt
to
a
great
extent,
as
he
loves
Shivani.
He
explains
that
love
is
such
a
thing
that
if
one
hurts
his
lover,
the
pain
is
ultimately
inflicted
upon
himself.
Mirza
again
appeals
to
Akbar,
to
set
King
Varmal
free.
He
reminds
Akbar
that
it
is
Akbar’s
principle
that
the
person,
who
is
affected
by
a
wrong
deed,
has
the
sole
right
to
pardon
the
wrong
doer,
like
Begum
Rukaiya
has
pardoned
Adam
Khan.
Jodha
too
makes
an
appeal
to
Akbar
to
pardon
her
father.
Later
when
Jodha
is
repenting
and
regretting
the
incidents,
she
is
informed
by
an
attendant
that
her
father
has
been
pardoned.
Akbar
has
given
him
permission
to
go
back
to
Ajmer.
Akbar’s
mother
meets
King
Varmal
and
his
family.
She
shows
a
lot
of
empathy
to
them.
After
she
leaves,
Jodha
comes
and
tells
her
father
that
he
should
have
told
her
everything.
She
says
that,
being
the
Begum
of
Akbar,
she
will
never
pardon
her
father
for
bringing
an
insult
upon
the
Mughal
dynasty.
