Jodha Akbar 52: Anticlimax - Page 3

But Mansi, it had nothing to do with his accepting her doing the aarti over his head. It was quite different, and surely you did not expect him to pass up the opportunity to hold her hand? How could he have let her do the aarti for him and lost that chance?😉

What I am thinking is that if Jodha can willingly submit her head for the pirbaba to tap it with some peacock feathers, then Jalal too cann accept aarti over his head with grace. Calls for maturity in allowing your head to be thus used ...

Thank you, my dear Lashy, but please do not be such a wet blanket and explain away Jodha's aarti offering in such a matter of fact manner! You have buried all the subtle romantic implications I had tucked away there, you disobliging girl!😉

In those days, I very much doubt if the vast majority of Muslims would have accepted the aarti. They would have mostly recoiled, a la Mahaam Anga. Jalal and his mother are exceptions.

@lashy those maids are not mughals but hindus...look at their forehead jwellery.

Thank you so much, and as for Jalal, I agree completely, whence the award for him.

Wonderful post once again. I loved the arti scene. But for the most delightful part was jalal saying even if they have a girl
He will threat her equally. Tht was for me was the highlight of the episode. I know akdha fans r not happy with the ruku pregnancy track but actually this will bring them closer.

Yes, but some of them. Ela, were the Mughal baandis in green and pink.

Becoming the ''Mariam uz Zamani''? This is the height of stupidity from the CVs. There was no designated name/title for the one who gave birth to the emperor's heir whether it was Akbar or any other emperor. In the Mughal Empire it was considered an honour to not have your name changed because it signified high or royal birth. Even if Ruqaiya had given birth to the heir her name would not have been changed to Mariam uz Zamani because she is of extremely high birth. The Hindu wives' names had to be changed after marriage like Manmati or Jagat Gosaini was given the name of Taj Bibi Bilqis Makani similarly Jodha was given the name/title of Mariam uz Zamani after marriage. That is why there is no record of any Harkha, Manmati, etc. in any of the Mughal records, they didn't get to keep their Hindu names after marriage. It has nothing to do with being the "most powerful woman in the empire" it was just a custom followed in the Mughal Empire. Jeez, Ekta and the CVs know absolutely nothing about the Mughals.

Wonderful post as usual Aunty!!! And the last line was the best😆. I was actually thinking like, what pretentious person she is or who is she fooling around with, when she was wondering whether or not to go to Shahenshah with the aarti thali. Again one can easily say that she herself is not aware of strange attraction/affinity that she feels for him.

Thank you so much, Rimi.

It is not that she is pretending deliberately, which is why I put the 😉after devious wench. it is subconscious, like the unknown attraction that made her see that face in the water repeatedly thereafter, when it was not there at all, and when she closes her eyes, as demanded by Sukanya, it tis the same face in the water that she sees.

One day she will recognise it for what it is and acknowledge it.and accept it. For now, she is trying, somewhat ineffectually, to deny it. But to deny it is to deny herself.

For Jalal too it is an unknown desire of the heart that drags him to Amer on a very dangerous mission, just because he wants to catch a glimpse of her. That wild, free-spirited, courageous,buccaneering young man has somehow been lost of late, weighed down in imperial trappings and duties. which is a great pity

My dear, what more can one expect of this lot? I am only sad that my hopes of some sort of even partial resurrection of the old Ruqaiya have been dashed.
