Wielding swords

Playing the role of an emperor and a warrior in Zee TV’s 'Jodha Akbar', Rajat Tokas aka Jalaluddin Akbar, will be seen sword fighting with his on-screen wife – Jodha Begum (Paridhi Sharma) on stage at the Zee Rishtey Awards 2014. To play the part of a Moghul emperor, Tokas has mastered the art of sword-fighting and horse-riding. However sword-fighting didn’t come naturally to Paridhi as she’s never been called upon to wield a sword. Paridhi seemed a little nervous and edgy, so Rajat then took it upon himself to help Paridhi get the sequence right. They rehearsed the entire sequence slowly, step-by-step and numerous times till Paridhi gained confidence. The show will air on Sunday, December 14, at 8 pm, only on Zee TV.
