Hey by the way, did anyone notice, in yesterday's episode Helena says "aaj mera mood bahot accha hai." But I guess that's acceptable because she's Greek 😆

What is the difference between Patrani and Mukhya Maharani?


See my guess is, the CVs are trying to sell it as one being the title you get by default if you happen to be the first wife in chronological order, and the other being the one you need to earn. But honestly, I think there is no difference at all! Now if only it were Jalal's rule, Durdhara would earn the highest title without having to get fried and toasted over any of these talwarbazi and shiz, because she is the only one who'll bear him children. So she'd have a clean swipe at becoming Mariam-Uz-Zamani, the highest title after Shehenshah 😆 You know, I used to think the mystery of Begum-e-Khas versus Mallika-e-Hind was cryptic enough 😆 but now they are throwing us this Patrani versus Mukhya Maharani puzzle 😆

I don't know if anyone has read the Celtic folk takes or old English Epics like Beowulf in their original versions or at the very least Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales which is at least in Middle English which is somewhat 30 percent comprehensible.

Anybody who has read the history of English language would immediately know that the form of English we have today was not the English we had during 6th or 7th AD. If you listen to it or read it, it would seem as though you are reading another language and not English itself. And this Greek lady is using a precisely modern English word. Greece was as distant from England as any other European country. It doesn't logically make any sense. But then many such anachronisms and language miracles abound in CN.

I saw the running around episode just now. Wasn't bad at all by any standards! I found it cute! I don't know why Dadi and Moora exasperate all of you so much. They are a bunch of silly, well-meaning females who can't hold a grudge even against their worst enemy's daughter. Regarding women and their intellects during 4 BC, were all of you expecting a Madame Curie in intellect and Madame Defarge in steely resoluteness and vindictiveness in them? The only people who ruffle me are Roopa and Malayketu. If not for these Cupids how would I see my favorite couple Chandini in the same frame?

How is Dhurdhara not in the competition??? As she is a vyaapari ki putri??😡

How are Helena and Nandini royal?? 😡

Nandini is just half royal and a daughter of a Naapit and a Queen. Mura surely knows that Nand is a Naapit. If they are particular about the Varnashram or the ancient superstitious caste system and hence disqualifying Dhurdhara, the Avantika's marriage to Nand is a Pratiloma Marriage and hence progeny of such marriages are supposed to be of the lowest rung in the caste ladder. Much lower than Vaishyas to which Dhurdhara belongs. Either they uphold the questionable caste system with all its applications or overlook completely and include Dhurudhara too.

Helena is the daughter of a general and Aapama who herself was just the daughter of a Persian baron. Isn't that why Malayaketu rejected her saying that she is NOT Royal enough for him???

Excluding Dhurdhara quoting her birth was in complete bad taste.🤢

Also if it was done keeping the Praja's attitude in mind, including Helena, a foreigner, was out of question. Why include her in the first place, give her hope and then finally reject her on the basis of her birth? Also why would the people of Magadh who hate Padmanand and are raw with the wounds of his atrocities love his daughter? Not all of them are Mura.

This entire Mukhya Maharani concept and implementation by Daadi are detestable. If the Puja was to be done, Chandra should have got married to a Princess of good lineage and done. Or all origins forgotten and all 3 existing queens given equal chance.

With this one, I totally agree Sandy...
I knew there was a caste system... but a chaste system? Never heard of that one before 😕

Fine, like Shailaja said, I kept in mind that the Queen mother and her mother-in-law were only playing old-lady cupids... but God have they left the likes of Hamida Bano far far behind!😆

I did a marathon watching of 7 episodes - and not even in 1 episode does Chandra do anything other than bedroom - hamam - bedroom - another hamam - terrace - bedroom - hamam! 😆
Couldn't he at least mention in passing - like Durdhara keeps taking up 'Rajmata's' name - that he'd just come from the Sabha to make it seem like he's not truly jobless?

The same guy... the same makers... another historical... but, there used to be a DEK scene every week... there was Atgah Khan by his side every other episode... there were frequent references of actual Mughal issues of the time. I can recall an announcement being made most times when Shehenshah Jalal-ud-din Mohammaed arrived. I can recall maids scampering when he left, guards flanking his side.

Plumpy or not, wife-pujaari or not, Jalal was at least presented like an Emperor when not in presence of Jodha.
Forget JA, even in other Ekta Kapoor serials, where the men are generally wallflowers - they at least put on a show of a busy day. They walk in with a suitcase, loosen their ties and plonk themselves on the sofa going 'Chaai'😆
All this takes barely 10-20 seconds/episode to showcase and not a great deal of additional dent on their budget... and yet, such a difference to the actual 'feel' of the show!

I'm not asking for actual tackling of Mauryan issues... but something... anything to show that the man is not only lovelorn and jealous?

Here, CGM is busy placing takiya for wife so she can apply mehendi peacefully, wiping tears from the sketch so daadi can have a beautiful (??????) sketch, helping wife pack and unpack, applying uptan and having uptan applied, running to fetch doctor for daadi - all this in the past week alone.

Why isn't he taking Durdhara for morning and evening walks like Malayketu is doing for Chaaya? Then the two couple parents-to-be can meet in the park and go 'hi bye' too!

RT... did you have to be so dashing... such a good actor... look so fine as an Emperor? Look at what you're forcing me to put up with for your sake... 😆😕😡



A few scenes I liked in last 7 episodes

1) When he brings that sketch of Suryagupt proving Nandini innocent ... and she nods back as a thank you when she is hugging Mura.

2) When she gives him a book and says 'keep it... you liked the book' as she packs up her Samsonite (in Sri's words)

3) When he listens to her in the terrace as she opens up about missing her dad

4) When Nandini indicates where his name is hidden in her Mehendi to help him out.
Though this entire Mehendi-searching for husband name doesn't ring like a Mauryan custom, the gesture itself was sweet...

These were all very understated scenes... done quietly... no big words... perfect for the phase they are currently in... neither here nor there... no OTT drama...
