Yes, me too! I can't think of them both as anything but Jodha and Jalal! I also look forward to the day when Jodha will stop calling him Shahenshah and start calling him "Jalal". The way he says her name "Jodha" is already wonderful-sounding!😳
No dear...I don't want her to call him Jalal...that's against Rajputani tradition...forget husbands, they never used to call even their son-in-laws by name...
And in India, generally women never addressed their husbands by name till this century...actually the only reason I think they've given Ruqs the pass to call him by his name is because they were best friends from childhood...and MA since she's like his own mother...
Even in the movie, the only time Ash calls him by name is when she reads out what she'd written in Urdu...😳
none of his other begums call him by his name...and the sound of the word 'Shehenshah' sounds so royal...her calling him by name Jalal doesn't ring right for the 16th century...😕 it sounds so modern...
But yesss I love him calling her by name Jodha
Also, as Superkool stated...I don't want Ruq's miscarriage to be the initiator for Jalal-Jodha's relationship in anyway...(many had stated that they would not show Ruqs pregnant since the viewers wouldn't accept it, but strangely enough they did stick to history and I laud them for it!) Therefore, I don't want Ruq-Jalal's relationship to turn sour for the sake of J-J...as long as it remains platonic I'm fine...
Otherwise, it'll make the equation seem like the king started becoming close to one begum only because of a fall-out with his main begum...and I don't want J-J's story to be that way...I want him to fall head-over-heels in love with Jodha, however cordial he is with the rest of his (extended😆) family...that goes to show that she was indeed something special and ONLY she had it in her to make him realize what the butterfly feeling of falling-in-love was...
Much like the hero who falls in love with one 'natural' beauty despite having a bevy of supermodels surrounding him all the time...that story would make for such interesting viewing...Now, if all the women surrounding the hero were NOT really good-looking then, him falling for a beauty is not as much of an impact, right? 😳
