Let me say this episode was more on the 'lets simply drag this MU' side, and less on the 'lets show Akdha as a mature couple' side.If only I could, I would throttle the writers for presenting a completely uncreative sloppy script in the form of Natakiya Roopantar.😡 .
It started off well, but played out to be quite a mixed up episode.
Justified Anger??
I felt that Jalal's anger was justified, because the whole point of the war he fought was to ensure that every citizen of his empire could choose their religion freely, but Jodha herself under pressure decided to change. Whether Jodha is right is not the question, but is Jalal's anger Justified... I feel it is. After promises to her husband and herself she was not only going against Jalal but her own heart by accepting Islam, which would be the biggest insult to the religion. This anger is just a reflection of Jalal's disappointment in Jodha, because he left for war knowing that Jodha would be propagating the same thought as his back home, but here she had succumbed to pressure. Not only succumber to pressure but was on the verge of losing her very identity.Yes, Jalal has all the right to be angry. Rajat played the livid yet restrained Jalal to the hilt today. 👏 Him feeling let down by the love of his life is totally justified. Yet at the same time, I wish it had occurred to him that Jodha would never take an extreme measure second time around, especially after promising him, not to do so, without a valid reason.
Is Jodha Wrong?
Wrong would be harsh, but to say that she dealt with the situation in the incorrect manner can be right. Instead of giving into the demands, I would have wanted Jodha to stand upto HB, and tell her why changing her religion would go against the very concept her son Jalal was fighting for. Situations were against Jodha, but she could have atleast dealt with it differently. If not the Jalal card she could have atleast told HB, that her accepting Islam would be an insult to the religion, because she could never give her heart to it. Or she could have just told HB that the war must be over by now.Yes, Jodha could have tried to reason out the situation and Jalal's point of view with Hamida Begum, but do you honestly think MM would have listened to her? Hamida Begum was very well aware that forcible conversion into Islam is unacceptable, yet she forced Jodha to do so and ended up having a heart attack in court when Jodha refused to give in to her demands for the second time. HB was on a singlehanded mission of emotional manipulation and self destruction. Jodha was at a loss as a daughter-in-law, wife and MEK. She was burdened with the feeling that her condition to Jalal of allowing her to practice hinduism within the Agra Mahal was proving to be the reason for immense unhappiness within the family and Hindustan. Saddled with this wrong notion, she set out to give into HB's request. HB's ' fast unto getting my way' pushed her into reconsidering conversion.
HB, GB turned on Mute:
Look's like HB and GB have very conveniently turned on their Mute buttons, and have nothing to say at all about Jodha's conversion. If Jalal had not returned and Jodha had converted, HB would be smiling from ear to ear, but now that Jalal is back safe and sound Hamida has totally forgotten that it was her food strike and GB's taunts that forced Jodha into taking such a decision in the first place. All that the 2 Royal ladies could do is sit and looke shocked, when they very much knew that Jodha would never have taken this step if not for them guilt tripping her. And what is this sudden overprotection for Jalal and the soldiers, it's not like this is the first war Jalal has been to.The manner in which the characters of both Gulbadan Begum and Hamida Begum have been etched out is demeaning and insulting. Upon seeing Jodha in Mughal attire, the expression that HB had was one of "oh my, now that you've attempted conversion, due to my illogical behavior and my son is aware of it, I will be shredded to pieces". I wish Salima Begum steps in and apprises Jalal of the conditions in the mahal during his absence, the stress and trauma, Jodha had to undergo, due to his mothers' petulant behavior, the heart attack drama in 'diwaan-e-khas' and her subsequent 'bhook hartal'. I don't think we will ever see Jodha defending herself and her actions to Jalal..
Distance...
Today's Akdha scene was atleast a little better off in terms of MU scenes because, usually their MU scenes consist of Jalal yelling at the top of his voice and Jodha just moping. So it was atleast okay to see how Jalal asked Jodha to leave before he loses his cool and utters something that he never meant. Right now Jalal needs some time to sort out his thoughts, maybe look athe situation from Jodha's point of view and to asesss the happenings of Agra as a whole, hopefully to piece together that it was HB Satyagraha that led to Jodha wanting to change her religion.
Precap??
Well hopefully the precap is just to add that Masala that the CV's just love. JJ have come such a long way and now these MU's really don't seem so possible. Staying distant away for a while, having small fights is okay at this stage, but to directly decide to divorce your 'soul mate' is something that I hope the CV's do not show at this stage, after establishing such a strong bond between Jalal and Jodha. So it could be
1) Rukaiyya's crazy dream, where her ambition of getting a huge MU between JJ happens.
or
2) This is maybe a Tedha plan of Jalal's, hoping to get the truth out of HB. Maybe he gets to know about the strained relations and knows that however much HB refuses to talk to Jodha she would never want Jodha to leave FOREVER from Agra and Jalal's life.I will opt for point nos 2. Maybe Jalal has been updated about all the dramatic happenings in the Mahal during his absence. Declaring a 'talaq' maybe his idea of getting Hamida Begum to accept her mistakes and also proving to her that when she insisted that Jodha not adhere to Jalal's hokum and the promise given to him, then Jodha does not need to remain his wife anymore. He very well knows that this step will provoke both HB and Jodha to reveal the truth themselves.The Creatives😡 could also be showing an unreasonable Jalal declaring Talaq as a result of muddled thinking, thanks to the influence of voodoo.Awesome analysis as usual Aadhya.😊 Today's episode highlighted the writers Creativity at its worst. What a dismal, undignified portrayal of Jodha, Hamida Begum and Gulbadan Begum. 😒

I agree mishti that jodha should have spoken up but she doesnt want to create trouble between son n mother n i think she believes that sooner or later she will make jalal cool down. She never expected him to divorce her. As for being a doormat i guess the situation reminds me of those mothers who do hungerstrike n end up in hospitals to stop their children from marrying against their will. I had a friend who was in love with a christian guy n her mom did this . She finally had to agree to not see the guy again coz she couldnt bear to be the cause of her mothers death.. sad but true..

I understand where you and many others are coming from..But, Jalal was aware of the pressures under which he left Jodha before war, he clearly had stated that even she's at war...so it was not as if he would have got some dhakka, hearing about HB and all others...its high time when Jalal doesn't always have to pester Jodha to talk to him, instead of him having to "samajhane ka prayas" each and every time.Just think, how red faced Jalal must have been, here he's returning with victory of his principles, many martyred for his belief in the battle field and here his soul is on the verge of tossing his beliefs and principles.Secondly, right from the time, this issue cropped up, Jalal had made it clear to Jodha in no uncertain terms, that FAITH was the very foundation of their relationship, their different religions, yet one Faith in Almighty was like their two bodies and one soul...Jodha clearly didn't grasp this, neither did she understand the whole issue, as is clear from her being on guilt trip right from the start.She also made a mockery of religion here, "I will come into your fold, i will not"...this yoyo thing is insulting both to her Kanha and Allah.That Jodha, who last time told everyone loudly that her relationship to her husband was the base of her relation with others, went on to destroy the very base.She thought, she would manaofy Jalal, looking at the number years of togetherness, partners become more perceptive of major and minor issues between them...here also I don't find any such thing about her, she took it as a lil hubby-wifey thing.When she could not handle HB, how had she expected to handle Jalal, after shaking the very foundation of their relationship?Jodha should clearly do away with MEH title, its not only about helping the needy, its also about taking a tough call when no one is with you and you are crumbling, but ready to make any sacrifice for the greater good. There were many ways to counter HB's emotional threat, for once like, "Aram banu too could have gone on hunger strike" ...but to think of such counter measures one has to have faith in oneself and own principles (in Jalal's principles too) and then has to put both heart and mind for saving your beliefs, but Jodha herself thought that she was at fault from the start, then what can she explain others. This track showed her nil leadership quality.😡How I wished to see smart DIL, forget MEH😭I for one clearly will not demean MEH, by saying, "poor she, tortured by monster in law".If Jalal every time puts Jodha in spot when being tedha, same goes with Jodha too, she also takes Jalal for granted every time while being self-sacrificing...truly made for each other😉😆P.S. I know there are many die hard Jodha lovers here, but she's also a human and can be at fault...we can for all curse the CVs, but then that should be and is the the case for JA as a whole too...so either we curse the CVs or criticize the characters.
