So leap is o the floor, or new actors coming,

Yes Ayushi, Leap is there and looks like Parijat will still be Akdha..

I am happy RT is not Playing Salim as it would have looked odd to see Pari as his mother. I was so worried. Also here I dont think Salim will be shown as a strong character so it will not suit RT, at least my opinion. The story will be around Akdha, though it will focus on SA. this is what I think.

People of the country were extremely terrified by the oppression of the emperors of Delhi during the last three hundred years. But as the emperor Akbar occupied the throne of Delhi, there was a great sigh of relief and there was a new ray of hope among the people. Akbar was keen to know about various religions. Knowing their fundamental principles, he respected and honored all the religions. He tried to mitigate animosity between the Hindus and the Muslims. He made sincere efforts to temper religious fanaticism.

Once Akbar, the emperor, was standing in a balcony of his grand royal palace and had his eyes set on the highway when he saw a procession in which a shravika (a Jain laywoman) in a chariot was bowing to people all around and intermittently was making offerings to the people. She was preceded by a band and all the people in the procession sang auspicious songs.

Akbar was greatly surprised at the sight and asked the royal servants about the procession. Having inquired about it, the royal servants informed him that the shravika being a follower of the Jain religion, had undertaken fasts for six months and the Jain Sangha of Agra had organized that procession in honor of the prolonged penance of Champa, the name by which she was known.

Akbar was astonished at the fact that one could survive without food for as many as six months; since he knew too well as to how extremely difficult it was to observe roja' (a fast observed by muslims) for a month despite the permission for a meal at every night.

The royal servants added to Akbar's astonishment as they said that the shravika named Champa had never taken a meal either during the day or at night for six long months.

Akbar thought it to be impossible; hence he decided to test its veracity. Champa shravika was invited to the court with utmost respect. Akbar told her that it was impossible that anybody could undertake such fasts. Champa shravika replied that the strength of religion would make everything possible. Akbar added that he would believe Champa shravika if she would undergo fast in the palace under the watch of his guards.

Champa shravika agreed to the proposal. She stayed at the palace with full respect and honor and guards were posted outside the palace. On expiry of the time limit, Akbar wanted to know about her fasts and he was told that she had not taken any food either during the day or at night. Akbar's surprise was genuine. He had banned killing of any living creature for the days for which Champa shravika had gone on fast. Akbar praised and complimented her. Champa shravika said politely that it was possible because of the impact of the religion, the gods and the guru.

Akbar, the emperor, became interested and wanted to have detailed knowledge about the Jain religion. In all humbleness he requested Acharyashri Hirvijaysuriji to come to the palace for the purpose. After Bhagwan Mahavira, it was Champa shravika who had performed such a rare penance by undergoing six months fast. These fasts created great reverence in Akbar's mind for the Jain religion, the Jain Acharyas and the Jain shravaks and shravikas. As a result he abolished the poll-tax levied on the Jain pilgrims. He acquainted himself with the significance of non-violence from Acharyashri Hirvijaysuriji - all this was the result of the most extraordinary penance of Champa shravika.

Interetsing. Thanks so much Rashmi. I am wide awake at 2:30 am. Slept off early as I was so tired.

But dear who says that Ruk and Noor got along well? Noor her parents and brother and Khurram were part of Salim's inner circle but not Ruk...I feel it must have been ulta actually...and frankly with Salima also dead Ruk had none of the family left..and why do we assume that Ruk will not change with age? I feel she might have been...Salim had his own life to lead and most of the time he stayed away from Agra while Ruk and Jo lived in Agra only...So where is the question of Ruk and Noor being very close arises?

Lovely read Rashmi...there are so many such stories associated with Akbar. Not to mention Tulsidaas who wrote ramcharitramanas which is an integral part Hindu customs today, at least in North India...too bad CVs couldn't find the brains to deep dive and showcase these

Ruk was not the part of Salim's inner circle...and do you think ruk would have tolerated Noor ? I feel they might have been rivals just like Jo and Ruk...

what is shown on screen is so different. I can understand NR but why not show it with real facts.

I can understand for show to be interesting they need NR. But they could do all of that by showing Akbars reforms too. They could still show it if in spite of SA, as focus is still mainly on JJ
