ok , I totally did not like Jalal pointing the cut in Jodha's hand to Mainavati . After all that cut was caused by none other than him . Should not he feel bad about hurting her physically ? Hurting a girl physically ? He could've put Jodha in her place by saying something else...anything...
I find lack of sensitivity very unappealing in a person .
I love the green dress that Jalal wore today , but they should've given him some other jacket with it , the color was not suiting .
It seemed to me that Jodha was wearing the same dress of yesterday's episode . Now , why is that ?
Or I'm wrong n it's a different dress ?
I laughed very hard , I must confess , when Jalal was eating that mirchi-wala food . I couldn't help , rajat gave such awesome expressions . Jalal's teary-eyed face was thing to behold n cherish . He's soo cute at that scene . I wished Jodha to look at him , she would've understand immediately that the dishes made by her had been tampered with .
I found nothing wrong in Jodha's behavior . Jalal was again giving her the 'blaring eye - trying to scare ' treatment . Jodha needed to tell him that this technique won't work this time .
She gave Jalal solid n full-proof logic about her innocence in this whole mirchi food treatment . But he lend no ears . Very fair I must say .
Actually both have huge ego issues , but then I guess it's a bane of royality .
No way I'm ready to agree that Jodha should feel sympathetic with a guy who had manhandled her just a day or two back . She has every reason to hate Jalal . It would look totally unrealistic if she suddenly goes all soft for a person who has even hurt her physically n do not show an ounce of regret . Instead Jalal mentioned that cut to Jodha's mother even .
But one thing I'm pretty much sure that had there been anyone , just ANY OTHER person in Jalal's place n Jodha got to know that his mouth was burned by eating over-spicy food , she'd have made a fuss making him eat sweets , honey etc etc to soothe his mouth .
But it WAS Jalal , so she was completely indifferent to his situation because she has no compassion for him n I think she has yet no reason to feel any compassion for him .

Jalal and Jodha both r not in love yet ... Jodha hates Jalal with passion while Jalal wants to own Jodha with agression π³... This makes both characters very interesting since both r not ready to give up.. Its the battle of equals in a way ππ³...What both r yet to realise that they both hv left a very deep mark in each other's heart which is impossible for anyone or their own self to wipe off βΊοΈ and this is what will slowly bring them close to each other π³
And this is the most amazing part...They both equally standing against each other...with their opinions feelings and egos at the same level!
What I feel is Jalal initially had made up his mind not to meet Jodha but that foolish Ruqaiyya seems to b hell bent on playing reverse cupid here by instigating Jalal to go to Jodha ka room and claim his authority on her since he is the king and he cant b humiliated by a random queen who says she is not interested in him .. at times I feel what a fool this Ruqaiyya is where she is sending her own husband to her new sautan so that Shehenshah can prove he is the man in this relationship πLOLL, this is true..Ruqaiya's character is being played around in a very careless manner. She can become a very interesting character, if CVs be a little sincere in handling her!
Sad part here is no matter what Jalal does here , Jodha will think of it in a negative way only like she thinks Jalal is deliberately making a hue and cry about the food and also she thinks Jalal deliberately asked her parents to stay for some more time just to find out opportunities to mayb embarass her ..Mayb Jalal too thinks that he wants to put down Jodha at any cost but everytime I feel his heart is not giving him that permission to do so and so inspite of getting all angry on Jodha for giving him that spicy food , he still could not embarass her in front of his parents π³π³...He might try to scare her in private that I will tell so and so to your parents but the truth is he is not able to do so which is driving him crazy π
Exactly...well said..How much ever Jalal tries harrasing Jodha in private...he ends up being not so mean to her in public! Like u said...this thing definitely frustrates him...dunno who will be the one who will tell him this isnt hatred but affection..loll!
.. I m waiting for the day when someone like Salima will make Jodha realise about the many positives of Jalal tooAt times, i hope that itns not someone, but Jodha herself, who slowly starts seeing how Akbar is not so mean and cruel, but i doubt that will happen coz in every action of Jalal she somehow ends up concluding it with his evil intention!
And if Jalal was Mr.Unpredictable this week then Madam Jodha was the motormouth this week ππ...Fourth comes the scene where Jodha went on and on against Jalal thinking its Moti behind her but instead u hv Jalal listening to Jodha's words and I guess this is first time he mayb standing behind and doing work of his begum like giving puja thali and all just to listen what his begum thinks about her ..Poor Jalal .. he looked so damn amused with Jodha's list of complaints against him π€£...Even though I dint like the way Jalal is blindly following Ruqaiyya's words here π‘ but still the whole temple scene was funny the way Jodha opened her complaint box against Jalal to Moti and instead u hv Jalal listening to it all and mayb thinking woww this woman has a point damn it π...One thing Ruquaiyya said right though about Jodha defeating Jalal's heart slowly π...Jodha is indeed defeating Jalal's heart here because his heart knows Jodha is right when she talks about how Jalal should not use her parents to play this one upmanship game with her ππΌ...
Definitely one of my fav scenes...It was absolutely amazing, how after listening so much he dint stop her...but continued listening to all she said. S..All he cared was what the lady had to say to him...Him quitely givng the puja thaali was cute...so like a real husband!He dint let his Shahenshah-ness come in between and stop Jodha! It was a subtle and adorable moment of Jodha-Akbar!
Last but not the least madam motormouth today too went on and on about the banjaras and their flag which again has a point reason why Jalal had to release those banjaras π...Jodha's words might frustrate Jalal but he too knows they all hv a perfect point which cannot b debated π...Jodha is lady who carries the courage to speak againts the injustice to any body...Here too the case was the same...Sumwhere it would have been nice to see what Akbars decision was without Jodhas inputs to that issue. If it was contrasting, it would have been another clash..loll! else it was another step forward to thinking matching!
Its interesting how Jodha's words r leaving Jalal all amused while Jalal's unexpected decisions are leaving Jodha and entire Mughal fraternity all shocked ...No wonder both r made for each other π
At present both r enjoying a snake and ladder game of sorts where at timesJodha gets upperhand like telling Jalal to remove his shoes in front of kanha to embarass him π and at times we see Jalal hving upper hand by asking Jodha about the cut in her wrist in front of her mother π ... This is clear indication that its going to b a playful relationship in future for sure π³ ...
And these moments are potrayed beautifully. Love the class and subtleness they carry..!
Misses for the week ...
But the whole Ruqaiyya bath scene in front of Jalal was in bad taste the way Ruquaiyya was shamelessly taking bath and Jalal kept standing like some servant in front of her asking her what to do next ππΌ .. The whole dignity of a Shehenshah came down in this scene which dint go down with me at all ... at times Ekta goes all extreme and destroys characters in this manner π‘ .. she needs to b more careful while dealing with these historical characters
I agree BIG TIME with this...that was absolutely a BAKWAAS moment...lolllIt would have been so much better had Jalal asked Ruqaiyya to come and meet him or talked to her after she finished her bathing cum rose petal playing! Sumwhere it would have been justified, had Jalal been drunk. But with his Emperor status, he went nd talked to her was absolutely silly!
In real history , Ruquaiyya was not even this cunning .. here CVs made her into a scheming vamp now who is even dominating Jalal: The shehenshah ... I hope they dont continue this for long and after chess game we see a change of heart in Jalal as he will realise Jodha is different from others and no more remains dependent on Ruquaiyya π‘ ...
Mahamanga is still a elderly lady , so taking suggestion or ideas from her is understandable but Jalal taking ideas from Ruquaiyya like a helpless defeated man was a big turn off for me ..
Yup, Mahamanga is way better than Ruqaiiya - who is being continuously shaped into Ekta ki Komolika types! (probably its the acting skills too!)Again..Ruqaiyya herself plotting against Jodha is fine. But here Jalal keeps coming to her to ask ideas..whic is so not Jalal...!I just hope they stop involving Jalal in kitchen politics. Let the harem ladies under the leadership of Ruqaiya.. sit and gossip and plot against Jodha..!
Jodha and her assumptions at times get too extreme π€
I love Jodha's character and I also understand where she is coming from .. but at times I feel she goes a bit too extreme with her assumptions regarding Jalal instead of trying to find out the real facts π€
Like for example , if she sees Jalal is all mad with her for spicy food , instead of assuming that Jalal is faking it or he cannot intake Amer's chilli , she could hv tasted that same food in kitchen once again to see if someone later mixed something in food π...
Then why this assumption that Jalal made Maan Singh his right hand so that he can prepare Maan singh to fight against his own people ?? I understand she hates Jalal for obvious reasons but why cant she believe that Jalal can make some selfless decisions too based on pure talent like he does in case of Maan singh after seeing the kind of loyalty he has for his people ...
I know its too early for Jodha to start seeing the positives of Jalal , and somewhere she is right about few of her assumptions too but I feel at times she forcibly wants to make her heart believe that a person like Jalal can never take any positive or neutral decision for anyone π€...She has made a negative image regarding Jalal in her heart and she is hell bent on making sure that the negative image of Jalal remains intact in her heart
Somehow some of the assumptions Jodha made this week were a bit put off for me because I felt Jodha could hv done much better if instead of assuming certain things , she could tried to find out the real facts like the spicy food saga ... π€...
Jodha has made up her mind, that Jalal is rude cruel and mean...And unless she herself witnesses some good will of his...there isnt anything thats gonna change her opinion. When u hate someone, u just hate everything tht the person does!Maybe the writers are just takign it to an extreme level so they can build up an interesting love story ahead(hopefully!).Overall the week was quite good and inspited of few misses here and there , I m still loving the way story is progressing ahead ππΌ.,. started off with a big bang and Jalal-Jodha love-hate chemistry is getting better and better π³π³
Ditto, loving the story progression as of now...hope the pace continues like this, yet there is movement in story (not just love story...it can be any story..loll!)Looking forward to the chess match result...it is an interesting track in the story...Both the Begums respect stands in question. More of Ruqaiya, since she had challenged Jodha and was claimed to be the best player of Mughal sultanate!
Looking forward to all your views πThank you for this post, its great to discuss the entire weeks happening in one place!

3. The smaller characters and what role they may play into the future of the Jodha-Jalal relationshipHere I see four sets of people( working in pairs) that could affect the future storyline:a. Salima and her little son (I see both as potential Cupids in the Jodha and Jalal love story. Salima may allso be a valuable source of info to Jodha on the true good nature of Jalal and the true ill-nature of maham and her son)With all the little politics and hatred around...I m sure this will be the positive vibes for Jodha in the harem. Looking forward to this.b. Adham and Moti Bai (catalysts for a change in Jodha and Jalal's personalities. Through the unhappy episode of the impending molestation of Moti by Adham, and then Jalal's imppending bad judgement against MotiBai by asking for her to be buried alive in a wall, there is opportunity for Jodha to intervene and impact Jalal's sense of justice and appeal to his heart-in-hiding!)@bold-blue - And i am looking forward to this impact. though there are high chances of it being positive, sumwhere i feel Jalal may not truly take it in the good stride...After all it will be the first time one of his begum..whom he thinks he hates...who is nothing but a sign of his victory...has impacted his decision making. Not even Mahamanga has done that...! If its another clash...so looking forward to it. Bechaara Jalal, he would want to blast off Jodha...but cant bcoz she is right and he knows it..loll...Ohhh..nd if its in the darbar..phir toh icing on the cake. Khulle darbar mein Shahenshah ke judgement ki bezatti!c. Mansingh and Jalal (a new combination whereby Jalal can see his own younger self through the personality of Mansingh. The more Jalal sees the younger version of himself in mansingh, the more he may be able to recover the lost parts of his personality for example his heart and his sioftness)Would love to see this...really...Maan sing and Jalals connect would be superb (if Ekta wishes!) and Jodha witnessing it may bring a little edition to the negativity that Jodha has for Jalal.d. Ruqaiya and Maham (both the singed parties may decide to collude - Ruqaiya has had her nose cut in the chess game, and Maham will almost have her son's "you know what" cut after he tried to molest Moti Bai and get away (I personally think castration is the punishment Jalal should give him!).Oops...might really not be looking forward to that... I dont mind Mahamanga potting against Jodha coz she sees the political danger that Jodhas and Jalals relationship can lead to... plus Adham khan- Motibai incident will be a huge blow to her...But getting on with Ruqaiyya and carrying out Kitchen politics is so not Mahamanga. For me even tht mirchi adding scene was more of Ruqaiyya types...not Mahamanga.How i wish they both just stay away and play around there own ways...lolll...but i feel its gonna be the way u said! I probably can take Mahamanga planning some high-level saazish'es and using Ruqaiyya as a puppet...haha!Would love to know if you all agree with my take above?
