To me the funniest part of the whole episode yesterday was the way Suryabhan just gave away the advantage to Akbar. Imagine that ... he was such an idiot to postpone his own marriage to Jodha saying he will rather bring Jalal's severed head for her as a gift and then only marry her.
Fat chance he has of getting Jalal's head ... Jalal has single handedly finished off an entire troop and left the bodies in a mangled heap! The man is ruthless and barbaric, and his head is the last thing Suryabhan should have traded his marriage for!
This incredibly stupid move of Suryabhan may have been done in a moment of misdirected chivalry etc. but just look at the advantage Jalal now has. He has plenty of time to come and whisk away Jodha, and additionally he gets the chance to wage war against Amer (which he is just dying to do!) and he may also get the chance to neutralise Suryabhan in the process!
I guess history is full of such stupidities that make some men losers and others successful. When we read about such characters in history it shows us clearly that the successful guys most often need not do anything spectacular, because the idiots of history will gladly hand them their success on a platter!
