I am curious about Dheerbhai's role. Did she have any agreement with Akbar? Or was it post the dethroning of Jagmal that mother and son decided to capture Mewar with the help of Akbar?
And was Udai Singh such a dud to crown Jagmal and not a son and an able potential king like Maharana, simply because of his live for Dheerbhai? Wonder if there is any other reason behind. If it had been anyone else it may be believable. But one with such a prowess snd superiority in all aspects visibly not made the king makes me wonder.
Kaana,
This is drama. :-P
It is true Akbar used to play tricks in succession politics in Rajputana. Akbar supported Jagmaal. Jagmaal will go to Akbar soon, we will see. But in present case, i do not have any historical reference to say that Akbar and DheerBai planned as shown here.
Udai Singh was not like what is normally thought. I have posted the Mewar records. Even before his death he was collecting forces to fight Akbar. But yes, Jagmaal was chosen whose selection is attributed to machinations of Dheer Bai. But Pratap was able and later he was seated by nobles. We do not know what were the circumstances and what plans DB played for Jagmal.
Everything else is given in the post itself. Do read once more. :)
BTW, don't form your opinion about Jagmaal after watching the show! I don't like how Jagmaal is shown. He was a good soldier and died in a war. But here is is shown as you know what.!
Also, i was furious to see the wrong portrayal of ruler of Bundi. He was made a clown! He was shown in earlier episodes.
It was complete opposite of what Rao Surjan Singh Hada - a man of steel ; was known for! TImelines were mixed and they showed Surtan instead of Surjan who was of course cruel.
CVs should understand that the show is about our Maryada Purshottam Ram aka Pratap - a man of HIGH ideals and morals, but they should take care of other people also and portray them carefully.
But that is something we can not expect from TV shows. All shows focus on leads only and not the side characters.
