Jodha
Akbar
21st
October
written
episode:
Jalal
sees
a
child
in
the
battlefield
and
moves
towards
it.
He
kills
its
father
when
the
latter
tries
to
save
his
child.
The
child’s
mother
takes
it
in
her
arms.
She
tells
Akbar
that
he
can
only
take
lives,
whereas
God
both
creates
and
destroys
lives.
The
Mughal
force
wins
the
battle
of
Mewar.
Akbar
triumphantly
tells
God
that
he
has
taken
pleasure
in
killing
his
children.
But
deep
inside
his
heart,
he
feels
a
strange
restlessness!
Jodha
gets
the
news
of
Mughal
victory
and
becomes
sad.
Akbar
gets
a
message
from
the
great
pious
man
Shaikh
Salim
Chishti.
He
cannot
avoid
going
to
his
place
as
he
understands
that
he
is
not
in
peace
even
after
such
a
big
victory.
The
Emperor
arrogantly
tells
Salim
Chishti
that
he
does
not
care
for
any
God
and
he
himself
has
the
sovereign
power
now.
The
pious
man
laughs
at
him
and
says
that
his
face
does
not
reflect
the
same
confidence.
He
tells
Akbar
that
the
pain
he
has
felt
at
the
loss
of
his
children
has
aroused
a
monster
inside
him.
He
now
wants
to
inflict
the
same
pain
upon
others.
But
he
should
relieve
others
from
pain
if
he
wants
peace,
says
Chishti.
Akbar
sees
Jodha
in
Chishti’s
hut
and
comes
to
know
that
she
has
also
come
to
find
solace.
He
admits
that
he
has
committed
perhaps
the
biggest
mistake
of
his
life,
by
ignoring
her
words
when
she
repeatedly
told
him
to
stop
the
bloodshed.
