Radhika,
The actor playing the character of Akbar in MP is able to show that regal arrogance of a young Emperor. I like his expressions and the method of dialogue delivery. ALong with that the people who write the dialogues for that show clearly demarcate between the language of Mughals and the Rajputs. I mean, normal Hindi and some mixture of Persian type words.
But in JA every thing looks mixed. Initially it was fine, but later the line became blurred.

I agree about the pace bit, some times it gets really slow. But this(MP) show , they have planned for long. Soon, we may have 2 shows to discuss - Ashoka and MP. JA may not run for long. Already SA is about to start.

@bold: totally agree with you. It took me a while to get used to the MP wala Akbar, but I like him now...

Rashmi,
Can you tell us more about Bajirao Mastani. ?

About this folk tale, there is one more thing i want to mention. 😊

In Rajasthan, there is a same tale about Rani Padmini. She was so fair that water could be seen going down through her throat , when she used to drink it . {This is a FOLK TALE, perhaps to signify her beauty.}

In JA they are copying Siyasat now...It has everything that EK's loves...Negativity, jealousy, cat fight, other women, sex , drugs etc etc..EK loves all this...but only thing EK does not realise that siyasat is not a hit serial..Very few ppl are liking it..My family who have watched it like my parents and my husband did not enjoy it at all..and I suspect same will be response will be same by most of the audiences...I do not see why JA's future was put at stake for following a flop story line..and to be honest Ruk will never be exposed..Not till Noor puts her down..Not during Jalal's life time...

She used the same creatives who have written her daily soaps so far,She should have used some others who really know history.As far as siyasat is concerned ,the reach of epic channel is limited so far it seems.And people have seen these royal cat fights so much in JA that siyasat has nothing new to offer and again the actors don't seem impressive ( I have just watched the promo on YouTube)

I agree Siyasat did not impress me also, Rashmi. May be because I am least interested in these cat fights any more. But Salim looks handsome in siyasat.

At least some one will finally Put ruks in her place, this is music to my ears Ela..😆. Yes in Serial RUks is given more importance than in history.

Siyasat is not my kind so never bothered to even watch it.

After Shivaji Maharaj ,the Maratha empire also did not see very good days .The capital was shifted from Pune to Satara by the King who was now Shahu Maharaj.He appointed Balaji vishwanat bhat as his prime minister who looked after the kingdom.Balaji was a Brahmin.He belonged to the Brahmins from konkan's coastal belt.Now some say these Brahmins are descendants of "Aryans" that is the Greeks who came to India.So they are very fair and have colored eyes.

Balaji got the title " Peshwa " from shahu Maharaj .

When he died, his 14 year old son "Bajirao" became Peshwa.

Bajirao though a Brahmin who were known only for educational and religious activities those days,was a great warrior.History says he fought 41 battles and remain undefeated.So he is also called as "unbeaten warrior".He brought glory to Marathas.The Peshwas were very wealthy.

Bajirao built the famous " shanivaarwada" monument in Pune.Ots a huge fort like structure and his family started residing there.Again the capital was shifted to Pune by Bajirao but the King shahu Maharaj stayed in Satara only.Bajirao was married to kashibai and had two sons.

Raja chatrasal was King of bundlekhand and he was known to fought many battles against Mughals,He was very close to Marathas.He was a Rajput .Mastani was his daughter from his Persian Muslim wife.Again here there are many stories like she was courtesan in his kingdom but the reality was she was daughter of Chatrasal.She was trained in dance,music but she was trained in sword fighting horse riding and spear throwing.

When Mughals attacked chatrasal at that time Bajirao was campaigning in the vicinity of bundlekhand.Chatrasal sought his help.Bajirao defeated the Mughals and chatrasal was so happy that he declared Bajirao as his son.He married Mastani to Bajirao .Some say that she was so beautiful that to protect her from Mughals ,he married her off to Bajirao.He even gave one third of his kingdom including sagar ,kalpi ,jhansi to Bajirao with 33 lakh gold coins and a diamond mine.

But the orthodox Brahmins of Pune never accepted Mastani as his wife .Specially bajirao's mother Radhabai and his younger brother chimaji.They took her as his concubine only though she was his wedded wife.So briefly living at shanivaarwada ,he built a beautiful palace for Mastani.

Mastani bore him a son krishna rao.But nobody was ready to do his threading ceremony and accept him as a Brahmin.

Mastani always accompanied Bajirao in all his campaigns.She was his inspiration.When Bajirao died at age of 41 due to sunstroke while campaigning near Indore ,Mastani flung herself in his pyre and died as sati,

And the most important part ,her son was brought up then later on by Bajirao's first wife kashibai as her own son.So kashibai was no Ruku here.

Welcome back to India! 🤗

You can visit anytime, though best to avoid the hot summer months! Why don't you plan around Sri Rama Navami - it will be crowded but you can see the lovely kalyanam! :)

PS: Priya, I haven't been there myself. :)

Thanks Radhika ...would try it.
