Jodha
Akbar
November
21st
episode:
Akbar
declares
his
judgment
that
Rashid
and
his
wife
have
forever
protected
Salim
and
have
been
loyal
to
the
state,
so
they
can
never
be
traitors.
He
pardons
them
for
unknowingly
giving
shelter
to
a
traitor.
Rukaiya
comes
to
meet
Salim
with
sweets.
Rahim
stops
her
and
forbids
to
go
inside.
She
says
that
she
does
not
care
for
punishment.
She
violates
Rahim’s
warning
and
meets
Salim.
She
tells
him
that
some
people
planned
to
kill
him
and
Nadira’s
father
was
involved
in
the
plot;
but
Jodha
and
Akbar
have
pardoned
them.
Salim
is
made
to
believe
that
only
Rukaiya
loves
him
and
his
parents
are
busy
with
themselves.
Rukaiya
intoxicates
him
with
marijuana.
Rukaiya
is
called
in
the
court.
Akbar
scolds
her
for
violating
his
order
and
meeting
Salim.
She
says
that
her
love
for
Salim
made
her
bound
to
do
so.
Akbar
reprimands
her
saying
that
others
also
love
Salim
but
her
display
of
love
is
exaggerated.
He
gives
an
order
that
Rukaiya
should
not
be
allowed
to
go
out
until
Salim
is
back.
Rukaiya
fumes.
Both
Akbar
and
Jodha
feel
deserted
in
Salim’s
absence.
Akbar
keeps
sharp
vigilance
on
Salim’s
security,
while
Jodha
keeps
praying
for
Kader.
Jodha
starts
going
to
the
temple
everyday
and
doing
noble
deeds.
But
Kader
shows
no
sign
of
recovery,
rather
his
health
deteriorates.
Now
there
is
a
question
in
the
air,
while
Salim
would
ever
be
able
to
come
back
to
the
palace!
