Thank you, Ela, I am so glad that you liked it.

I do not think he has stopped loving Vrinda. It is rather like what Lord Byron once wrote:

Man's love is of man's life a thing apart,
It is a woman's whole existence.

He is now obsessed with Mahadev, and this monomania leaves no room for anything else. But he cares for her more than for anyone else, which is why he recounts the advice she gave him, and how it was of crucial help for him. Otherwise, catch this sort of ultra macho type ever acknowledging that he owes anything to a woman, especially such a vitally important piece of advice! No way!!

It seems you were right Shyamala. Jallu does love Vribda.
They are showing different story from the one given in puranas.

But I dont want him to die so soon.

its such an awesome post! 👏

such an awesome post on jallandhar

Very nice write up on Asur Jalandhar, Really amazing

Vrinda Jalandhar have definite chemistry and both Mohit and Neha an unlikely couple on screen connect very well with each other onscreen. Fabulous post this on Jalandhar. 👏

Wow awesome post on jallu...loved it.

OH.MY.GOD. TM!!!! I am truly speechless after reading your piece on Jalandhar and his circle (Vrinda and Shukracharya). 👏

Superbly written! Excellent choice of words! Beautifully expressed every intricate detail of these characters, their motivations and connections! 👍🏼

I am just spellbound by your expression and analysis!

I'l have to read, re-read and re-read it again and again! It's wonderfully written, has a lot of depth and offers food for thought.

As of now I am so amazed by your writing that I cannot being myself to agree/disagree or discuss any point in your post!

Please accept my humble appreciation for this piece you have written.

One of the most well written and well articulated posts I have ever read online! 👏

Sasha clearly Jalandhar has impressed you a lot. The writing and Mohit's brilliant acting is responsible for it.
For me more than the story what is working big time is Mohit's acting as he has given himself completely to the role which makes u connect well with the character on screen.

Dear Ela,

I think the scene after Vrinda's death is going to be even more gutwrenching than yesterday's Jalandhar-Shukracharya scene, which actually brought tears to my eyes, and I am decidedly not sentimental.

If you have the time, do take a look at my post of last night, or rather early this morning, on that segment, Jalandhar Today: Mohit's tour de force.

Ela, one has to take into account that after Vrinda is no more, Jalandhar will have nothing left to live for, except the desire to be revenged on Vishnu for her death.

He is already on his knees - physically, psychologically, and emotionally - after his guru left him (that was an inexcusable thing for a person who is in loco parentis to do; he should have curbed him much earlier, and now he should have stood by him and helped him, as Brahaspati did for Indra after that coldblooded murder of Trishira. What has Jalandhar done which is half as bad as that? And yet Indra had then got away with it, thanks solely to Brahaspati).

Now Vrinda is the only one left who loves Jalandhar for himself - not for what he can be used for, and not because of the shivansh in him. When he loses her, he will be so distraught that death will come as a welcome relief from the agony he is suffering. It is like Ravana after the death of Indrajit (I am not drawing any parallel with Jalandhar on any other point); he loses the will to fight or even to live. The Ravana vilaap is a very moving and beautiful account of his state of mind then.

I feel, therefore, that by June 2, both Jalandhar and we will be glad to see him freed from his suffering.
