Am i the only one wanting to hide my face in my pillow. This was utterly disgusting and demeaning. Jo log ro rahe the ki history ni dikha ra hai koi. Jao. Dekho ab apni history. 🤢
i wasn't able to watch man. Ya i know i know this was expected. And i WAS prepared.. But prepared for THIS? I had somehow made myself be okay with 2-3 wives. This was beyond tolerance man.
I don't know. But i don't think I'll be able to watch this anymore. And what about family audiences man?? 😕
Man, I was loving the show.
😭
and please don't give me stuff like 'don't like it, don't watch it' or 'this is history, you're overeacting'. I don't care how true it is. More than difficult for me to digest.

EDIT: Btw the way he said subanallah was 😳

A harem full of women. Lots and lots of them. alL vying for the shehanshah's attention. Some his brides some concubines and some 'brought there forcefully'

its based on history !! these things wr common at that time !! n i dont think they will show any kind of special scene wd those wives n akbar !! they will more focus on ruqaya !! as for now she is the one who is very close to him !! all wives r jelous as akbar is giving more importance to ruqaya !! n soon ruqaya will feel jelous on jodha as jodha is the real queen of akbar 's heart !!😳

oh emm according to historical records akbar had 7 legal wives and 300 seconday wives and concnbine these kinds of politics were common in harem as the one who was close to the harem owner gets more pension and her power were immense...😳 unofficially akbar had 5000 women in his harem...its digusting but tht;s history😳 relax 😊

I will admit that I let out a little squeak when I saw the number of women- I was like "Will he even be able to find Jodha among them?😉"
But then I remembered that Akbar had over 300 wives (including second wives and concubines for alliances). All of them were political. Just remember that he never saw even half those women and had only 3-4 children. Harsh as this sounds, many of those women were considered nothing more than ornamental decoration and a mark of his status. It's distasteful as heck, I know, but I can bear it. I think we'll see them again in such numbers when he brings Jodha to Agra and then we'll focus on the 2-3 main wives.
Look at it this way: Ekta has put in all these wives beforehand, but history says Jodha/whatever her name is was Akbar's third wife. Isn't it better that we see this now, rather than the misunderstandings/marriages she could have bought in in the future.
Worse case scenario? If Jodha ever wants to escape? She has plenty of disguises to choose from!😉😆

I know it is a bit harsh. But, Ekta will clear off all the rest of the wives in no time. She has no patience for extra characters. And we already have so many. I believe the rest of the wives will play the roles of jealous losers for some time, and then go away. This is more about Ruqaiya, and to introduce her bond with Jalal. And I actually did not find it particularly appalling. A little competition never hurt anyone. 😉 Moreover, I think the scene was there to show how popular Jalal is, and how different his world is from Jodha's. No wonder he does not understand her. With all these women vying for his attention, he hasn't learnt to respect women. But he will. And btw, I am an active feminist. Active as in, I work in a women's shelter in my free time, join in marches, and do everything society tells me not to. 😆 But I try not to forget that this is, after all, just a tv show. 😆 Don't worry dear girl, just enjoy the jealousy and fun.
