My dear,

First of all, thanks a million for such a delightful comparison!I love chocolates too, but for the last 8 months, they have been banned for me because of a cholesterol problem, and I live in the hope of getting back to them, even if only in moderation, some day soon😉!

As for Rajat, yesterday he did what very few actors can manage. He went way beyond the already very good script. Do take a look at my responses to Mansi and to Jenny above, they will interest you. The boy is a real casting coup for Ekta, who clearly knows how to pick just the right actor, and he is also very lucky to have landed this dream role at a time when male actors in TV serials are mostly about as significant as a lamppost.

Because of him, the episode rose to such heights. It was the best one I have seen in 15 years of watching Indian TV serials- largely off and on, I confess, when I was still working, but still for 15 years.

You know, daily I hope that the Jodha-Akbar episode will not be so good as to force me to write an analysis of it, and I can rest my wonky wrist.😉 Last week, I was able to do just that for the last 3 days. This week bids fair to straIn my poor wrist to breaking point😉!

Excellent post Ma'am. The last episode was truly praiseworthy and I am so glad to see you make a wonderful post on it. Your posts are like chocolates. I just can't get enough. 😆 And I completely agree with the part where you claim Rajat was truly backed by the CVS last night. For me, honestly, this was the first time where the CVs allowed the talented guy to explore and outdo himself.

Dear Latanzia,

I love your id, it is an intriguing and unusual name. I am very glad you liked this post so much.

Yes it was a tour de force of a performance by Rajat, and what impressed me most of all was the tehraav, the deliberate controlled take on every line he spoke, every body movement, every glance from his eyes. He never raised his voice, even for the harshest threats he uttered, whereas Bharmal's voice became shrill and cracked under the strain.

The lines were perfect and the direction was excellent too, but it was the actor who raised the whole well above even the best one could have expected.

Thank you for this.

You have just sum up this entire episode beautifully, it was a master at work today, how Jalal cornered The King of Amer into agreeing to what he wants was Fab. Jalal stole the show today hands down.

The episode was fabulous...and so is your post...👏👏👏 I loved the episode and your post...I am at loss of words...

Jalal- the shehensha was in full elements...he had the grace and the tact to outwit his opponent...he forced his opponent to submission...and, he did it in style...he achieved what he wanted and nobody could guess what shehensha was upto...???? Finally, our shehensha has grown out of the shadow of his mentors...and this shehnsha is brilliant at his work...

The last scene was beautiful...surreal...

What's up with sharifuddin...??? I guess the guy wants his head on a platter...

Chugtai khan- bharmal ji shld thank this guy..otherwise mr. Bharmal had almost managed to push his sons in deeper trouble...

Jodha- the girl has shown courage...she also has the ability to think straight in a messy issue...she is a true royal...And, the only one in amer...

Thank you for such a beautiful post...

Lovely read Aunty 👍🏼🤗

I am sooo happy to see Rajat performing soo well like yesterday. I was a bit irritated by the OTTness of his expressions shown in the initial two weeks ...but now it is very subtle and so apt for a badshah!! 😃👍🏼...I have liked Rajat from his first big show Prithviraj Chauhan.. and it gives me great pleasure to see him perform soo well as Jalal.. The direction given to him has improved a lot and hence it is coming out soo well on screen.. 😊

Yesterday's episode totally belonged to Rajat and in turn to Jalal... He gave the respect deserving to the Bharmal yet made him cornered to one side ...making Bharmal agree to the marriage...

Whatever political reasons he gave to his ministers for this marriage, we all know the real reason right? 😛😉

Suvi my dear,

You are always so good for my morale! Thank you very, very much.

Yes, it was an unbelievably good episode, thanks almost entirely to Rajat;s ability to get under the skin of Jalal as he is spreading his wings. You have got that spot on. Grace and tact and style - that was just it.

Chughtai Khan deserves a huge vote of thanks for having the patience to handle Bharmal and cope with his tantrums and his lamentations, and still manage to steer his sinking boat to a safe haven. And all this out of sheer gratitude and a genuinely good nature. I do hope Bharmal is sufficiently grateful to him.

Sharifuddin..this is why they say that those whom the gods wish to destroy, they first make mad.

Dear Shyamala, you have summed up the performance and that scene so well ,there is nothing to add or subtract from it...Rajat was indeed brilliant,for those minutes i completely forgot he was an actor..i actually thought i was indeed watching the Emperor in his court .Jalal was in his pride,arrogance and authority yet respectful,Bharmal looked and sounded so shallow before him even with his age and experience ...it was not that he lost Amer and was cornered,Amer never had a chance ,if only these pompous group of men had realised it and acted wisely ,things would never have reached this stage...a sound advice i received from a well wisher once...you cannot be a jhansi ki rani ready with sword everytime...sometimes battles are won with wit and wisdom too without shedding a drop of blood...that makes a person a wise king ,how on earth did he not get invaded earlier is my surprise...

the smirk he had on his face when the wedding was suggested ,kind of felt he knew things would reach there...he was soo confident am just waiting to see and hear about his non political reasons for this alliance😆

his ministers were smoothly placated hailing their Emperor for such a wise foresight ,ek teer se do nishaan

the other poignant scene was the last one where both JA were before thier Almighty seeking advice ,even with split screen they both looked so good together

am just waiting for their confrontation and hope it is nothing OTT but subtle yet forceful...Jalal and Jodha ,the battle of wits and words

but the icing on the cake is the precap..finally after nearly 2 months of anxiety ,hypertension ,mainvaati faints😆..i know that scene is not supposed to be amusing but oh dear we have been waiting for eternity and shakuni bai coming with her 'i told you so' expression and more prediction will be the perfect completion 😆

i wanted to write so much but due to heavy workload mid week ,i have to limit myself ...hopefully this weekend will be able to contribute more

thank you so much for such a beautiful read...i re watch the episode once i read your analysis and it is such a treat to observe it through your words.

I'm really thankful you analysed this episode. I couldn't stop smiling to myself throughout the ep.. It was soo good.

One thing I noticed when Maham Anga said a few eps ago that Amer to choti si riasat hai.. I realized that there was no proper planning on amer's part.. They were only dying to fight.. No strategies, no nothing! They knew that it would be hard for them to defeat the mughals.. but they were not preparing themselves in anyway.. It just shows a lot of foolishness on their part. The only thing that seemed to worry them was Jodha's marriage, especially Menavati.
