I am fine with this Avataar of Jalal...As we discussed on Blog post... ;p
But,
I did not like Jalal's dialogue to Jodha and that cold look and putting on the curtains..

I don't want to start on Ruqs...Nice to stop discussing her..
Abhay I liked the episode a lot, because this is the Akbar I want, a conqueror who can be brutal as well as kind. I got back the king, even rumors of his presence in the battlefield could cause enemy forces to melt, like it did in the battle of Haldighati. It is only after the birth of Salim that his brutal side softened a bit.
Yes, his words to Jodha could be less harsh. But in real life relationships crumble after the death of a child, at least that is not going to happen here. Harsh words by a person in pain, directed at a loved one is not shocking, it happens.
