Loving how they did NOT show Akbar as an out and out villain but showed that he is an affectionate father who is restricted from showing his love bcos of his emperor wala status. That shows us Akbar is a more positive light than I expected and I welcome that. What I don;t like is the out and out vamp characters in the begums but well, it is fictionalized, after all, so I am just glad they did say that they will take creative liberty.

Hey Jalk, glad to see you here. 😃 . Seeing Akbar reminded me of Amir Khan from Dangal. There is a scene in that movie where he says that he cannot be both a "father and a "coach to the girls at the same time. And that the "father has to take a back seat when he is training them as a "coach. Akbar had to constantly see Salim as the next Mughal emperor and had to prepare him for that. And he constantly had to put his father role on the back burner for that.

I agree that they have completely fictionalized the story with vamps and conspiracies. But hopefully they will not go over the top with too much melodrama. 😆 .

Shaavi, I am looking at this storyline this way. Where Salim is concerned or Akbar is, I hope they don't tweak history too much. But where ANarkali is concerned, considering there is considerable doubt if she really existed (despite the tomb), I am okay if they take liberties. I can see that ppl are appalled that they may show Anarkali as Empress but honestly, there IS a version of the story that goes that way. Also, considering that the background of Noor Jahan is somewhat hazy (with 3- 4 versions of her early life), I think that the story of Anarakali being recalled after Akbar's death and taking her place as Noor Jahan is not going to put me off. However, we DO NOT know if the makers are going to show this so this whole argument of mine is awfully preemptive😛😛

Jalk, we have already agreed that Salim is real while Anarkali is "not real. How can there be any truth in the love story between a real and fictitious character. It is nothing but a dream, a figment of imagination. Even when there is so much literature on Salim is available, still no one knows from where this story/legend of Salim Anarkali came.

I feel like a poet, or an entertainer was asked to write a play to make Salim/Akbar happy and he came up with this whole story. And that got some how popular because it was written wonderfully. Like "Naina. For me this version of Salim is also fictional. Along with all characters. Meaning from Hamida Begum to Akbar to everyone are fictional and bear very little resemblance to the real people from history. Like a ff of Dev and Sonakshi on Wattpad where Dev is a singer, doctor, college student etc, with Sonakshi having similar background too. This series is also like that. Just a loose connection to history but nothing more than someone's imagination of a good love story.

And hoping that with this ensemble, the actors do justice to it.

It was pure fiction..nothing matches with the stories I read about mogul dynasty and the conspiracies. Still the episode is gripping without much melodrama like we see in Ekta Kapur shows. For me the show as of now is fine...Waiting for Shaheer..

Lakshmi, Shaavi, I think you guys have the right approach to this. After yest epi, I think it is best to not analyse too much. So, I have made up my mind to just watch it for the entertainment factor and stop thinking too much abt the story and what not.

Much relief finally...Shaheer arrives next week. Today's Episode turned me off...Conspiracies unending,no respite...I did not enjoy the episode. I hope this feel won't continue further.

I felt pretty much the same way and that's why decided to just view it as a TV show, nothing more. And once Shaheer adn SOnarika arrive, I will be happy to just watch them.

Yaaay Shaheer is back
