thank you so much for this post and please do take care of yourself
i do agree with you completely ...Jalal would have already embarked on his path to Akbar had the people around him not misguided him or stopped using him for their own purpose...he does have a heart and a very empathetic soul along with the astuteness to be a benevolent ruler but the influence on him has led him astray and this is where jodha will come in..she will be that light which guides him towards his destiny and fill his heart with selfless love and care...
my heart went out to Jalal in that scene and thankfully unlike Jodha i did get to watch the next scene or else i would have landed on this forum cribbing like she went to kanha😆...
as you and mansi have most of the time pointed out...Jalal ka angst and fear to acknowledge he does have a heart stems from his childhood rejection and jodha rejecting him just opens up those wounds...he does care for her and hence he wants her to care for him and her nahi nahi abhi nahi drives him up the wall sufficiently provoked by Ruqaiyya and there is no reason why he would stop listening to her nonsense now when all his life he went to her for advice (i miss smiley's ruqaiyya so much and i keep whining about it)...she was so sharp yet gentle in her dealings never this outright vampish
the episode was good with jodha for once talking about shahensha's maan instead of starting ehr another rajputana speech...she handled herself with dignity unlike the mallika e nothing khaas about her who goes huff puff
my whole issue once again is with Ruqaiyya only...she is the perfect example of an idle mind is the devil's workshop😆...i mean, is there any person on earth about whom she actually speaks good from her heart or mind whatever
she did see his pain ,understood it but sadly she never does anything about it...she has absolutely no emotional connect with jalal inspite of being his best friend all his life...she plays mind games with him,excites his grey cells and fans his larger than life ego and in return he gives her whatever she wants...
if there was any person who could fill that void in his life ,it would have been his childhood mate ...but alas she never took that effort ,she never tried healing him instead she spend her time pleasing him and still does that...her understanding of the situation was matter of fact nothing emotional or personal ...she knows he is lonely,devoid of feelings and life goes on for her keeping a tab on his nights and the other begums in the harem
so if jodha enters it is because there was always space for a third person between them thanks to ruqaiyya herself...it is not destiny or events but she with her overconfidence ,arrogance ,ego and absolute lack of foresight who is going to propel this love story and by the time she realizes it jalal would have surrendered himself heart and soul to jodha and she would stay the friend and the mallika but still feel the emptiness and void for the first time
the older ruqaiyya would have sensed the shifting tide between jalal and jodha and like MA understood that under hatred lies something deeper for both...atleast would have been alert with jalal's non stop harping about jodha...any woman would have been on alert hearing and seeing her husband so affected by the nayee begum...
