Jalaluddin Mohammad, a
▲Jalaluddin Mohammad, a fearless warrior, son of Emperor Humayun and Hameeda Bano Begum, became the Emperor of the Mughal dynasty at a very young age. He is under the influence of Bairam Khan, his reagent, and Maham Anga, his foster mother. Bairam Khan has taught Jalal to be a ruthless ruler, and spread his rule by fear, conquer people by the sword. Jalal, following Bairam Khan's ideals becomes a heartless and fearsome ruler, whom the people dislike. He wants to conquer the entire Hindustaan, and presently, he is eyeing the golden Rajputana.
Meanwhile, Jalal, with the help of Sujamal, attacks Amer and wins the battle. He demands high monthly taxes from Amer by keeping Jodha's brothers as hostage. Later, when Sharifuddin keeps increasing his demands, King Bharmal's friend suggests that he meet Jalal to negotiate. During the meeting, Bharmal's friend advises to marry Jodha to Jalal. Jodha disagrees and tries to poison herself but after much persuasion agrees to the marriage for Amer's safety, but with two conditions: to remain a Hindu after her marriage and carry the statue of Krishna with her to Agra. Jalal agrees despite the protests of his courtiers and advisors, as he wants to humiliate her in return of her insults. After the marriage, Jodha maintains her distance. Later, Jalal's favorite wife and childhood friend, Rukaiya, becomes pregnant. The kingdom rejoices at the thought of an heir, but the happiness is short-lived as Maham Anga poisons Rukaiya that leads to a miscarriage. Anga frames Jodha and her family for the miscarriage, but Jodha is proved innocent. Jalal accepts his mistake and feels guilty for doubting Jodha. He gives Jodha freedom to divorce him and head back to Amer if she wishes. Jodha accepts but her mother refuses. Jodha tries to commit suicide but Jalal saves her. Jalal develops sympathy for Jodha. He realizes how lonely she has become. He starts spending more time with her. Jodha realizes Jalal means well for his people.
Jalal and Jodha finally fall in love. Jodha becomes pregnant with twins, one of whom Rukaiya claims. While Jalal denies her claim, Jodha promises her one of the twins. The twins are killed shortly after birth, their death plotted by Jalal's enemies, who hunts them down and kills them. The death of the twins leaves the kingdom in sorrow and Jalal, Jodha and Rukaiya are devastated. Jodha and Jalal again grow distant while Jalal turns into his former cruel self to avenge his sons' lives. He stays away from his court in Salim's sanctuary, along with Jodha for two years and serves him with deep devotion. Jodha and Jalal reconcile, and Jodha becomes pregnant giving birth to another son whom Jalal names Salim. Jalal and Jodha return to court and upon seeing the child, Rukaiya tries to claim on him but is met by Jalal's wrath. She then vows to destroy Salim.
▲She decides to go to a far away temple to offer prayers on her birthday, along with Moti Bai, her friend and aide. While offering prayers there, a band of mughal soldiers come and start looting the jewellery of the Goddess. When Moti Bai tries to stop them, they try to molest her. Angered at this, Jodha asks who could be so cruel as to rob people of their religions, to which a temple person replies Jalaluddin Mohammad. Jodha pledges to destroy Jalal and present his head before the Goddess.
Salim, a few years older, is loved by everyone. He meets a girl Nadhira who is the daughter of the woman who once saved Salim's life when he was a baby by informing Jodha of the attack planned on them. Nadhira and Salim instantly dislike each other. Salim is being manipulated by Rukaiya through wine and drugs. She plants false scenarios in Salim's mind to make Salim hate his parents and entices him into women and addictions. His behaviour becomes more irrational which leads to the banishment of Nadhira and her family. This angers Jalal to the point that he sends Salim to live in a war field until he becomes an adult. Salim grows up to be indifferent, hating his parents but has a soft spot for Rukaiya. Upon returning to Agra, Salim bonds with his brothers but never seeks his parents. He falls in love with a girl, Anarkali, only to discover she is Nadhira. She had changed her name to find work in Agra. Salim hates her thinking he had been betrayed.
Salim and Anarkali work out their relationship facing problems because of the difference in their social status. Rukaiya's true intentions are unveiled. Salim realises his mistakes and regrets not trusting his parents more.

The title of the series was criticised by members of the Kshatriya community as misleading, politically motivated historical revisionism that minimised Rajput history. The community protested against the series in [[Rajasthan]], and alleged that if the name was not changed, they would not let any [[Balaji Telefilms]] films to be released in the state.<ref name="Protests-1"/> Ekta Kapoor stated, "I always believe it's 80% history and 20% folklore. There are enough proofs that say it's true, but then some people say it's not. Akbar had a certain graph and we know that. We cannot negate that he changed his heart from a power-hungry ruler to a non-biased one because of his Rajput queen."<ref name="Protests-2">[https://web.archive.org/web/20130610012925/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2013-06-07/tv/39789197_1_jodha-akbar-ekta-kapoor-jet-lag I have sleepless nights because of Jodha Akbar: Ekta Kapoor]</ref>
