Jodha
Akbar
january
19th
episode:
Salim
tells
Hamida
that
he
is
not
interested
to
stay
in
the
palace.
Hamida
requests
him
to
stay
up
to
the
anniversary
of
Akbar
and
Jodha.
Salim
agrees.
He
meets
the
common
people
and
there
he
sees
Qadir’s
grandmother.
She
becomes
surprised
seeing
that
Salim
still
remembers
her.
Salim
tells
Fatima
Bi
that
he
remembers
the
days
that
he
spent
in
her
hut
and
the
dishes
she
made
for
him.
He
visits
her
hut
and
meets
Qadir.
He
calls
Qadir
as
brother
and
promises
that
he
will
give
him
a
job.
Salim
sends
a
recommendation
for
Qadir
to
Akbar’s
office.
The
application
is
read
out
to
the
emperor
and
he
readily
agrees
to
grant
the
request.
Birbal
opposes.
He
tells
Akbar
that
Salim
has
refused
the
post
of
the
heir
and
so,
his
recommendation
has
no
value.
Akbar
feels
irritated
at
this
argument
of
Birbal.
Birbal
explains
that
his
intention
is
not
to
insult
Prince
Salim,
but
to
make
him
understand
the
importance
of
designation.
If
Salim’s
recommendation
is
refused,
he
can
accept
his
designation
to
serve
the
common
people.
Akbar
likes
the
idea.
Salim
becomes
angry
seeing
Akbar’s
denial.
Rukaiya
tells
him
that
Akbar
is
right
as
Salim
can
only
use
his
power
when
he
has
the
right
designation.
She
convinces
Salim
to
accept
his
position
of
the
heir.
Salim
becomes
emotional
and
shares
the
story
of
Anarkali
with
Rukaiya.
Jodha
tells
Rukaiya
that
Salim
has
fallen
for
Man
Bai.
Rukaiya
is
amused.
Rashid
tells
Anarkali
that
he
will
do
everything
so
that
she
can
meet
her
love.
