Ela di.. you landed here again. I swear.. this current track is horrible, plus they are dragging it like hell. How on earth will jodha prove her innocence in confinement? Only Maham Anga or Maan singh can catch the culprit.

Dear Shyamala,
I too am a fan of ur splendid and emotional analysis of the episodes of our beloved JA. It's ok to be wrong sometimes as that will keep the eagerness to watch the episodes 😉. However, from Sharifuddin's expression and MA 's talk it appears that they r innocent atleast this time...so Ms. Kapoor must have found some way of turning this love story to a suspense thriller..!!😃
But one thing which is turning me off here is the extent of hatred and despise that is shown here...which I am sure never existed between JA in reality...!! They had twins within 2 yrs of their marriage(according to Fatehpur Sikri history)...so where was the time for so much Shouting , nok-jhok and hatred??😉😉 And really the despise is being sooo much now that it's going over the top!! Needs a lease right now ,, otherwise Balaji will have a trouble in wrapping up the Hate story and begin the Love story instead, becoz to us viewers, it would appear unrealistic and forced...!!

Please keep up ur writing and we too will keep enjoying that..!!😊😊

My dear (what is your real name, if you do not mind?)

You are really very kind, and I am glad that you enjoy my long dissertations on Jodha Akbar. Yes, it is all getting to be over the top and hysterical, especially from Jalal right now, and I too feel that it is far too harsh all round. I do not know how they are going to make the eventual love story seem natural. It was far gentler and more credible in the film. Let us see what they do now to extricate Jodha from her cul de sac.

Well, Ela and Rose, if my choice for Jodha's knight errant, Mansingh, turns up trumps, no one would be happier than I. Even without that, he did me proud today with his detached wisdom and rational thought processes. But he does not have enough of insider knowledge of the palace routines and secrets, and so he will not be able to get anything done by himself.

I too think Mahaam will lend a helping hand, if only to prevent the blame from coming to her or Adham. Now she is the quintessential insider, and she could ferret out anything if she put her mind to it. I learnt from one source that it was Hoshiyar who had done it, but surely not acting on his/her own. There would have to be someone behind Hoshiyar, who is the one Ruqaiya wants to expose and punish.

Jalal does not seem to have started his investigation yet, but maybe he is going to rope in Bharmal to help with his knowledge of the Amer area where the ark could have been prepared. I must say, however, that his comment to his Minister about having invited Bharmal sounded ominous.

Yes, Jalal's saying they would be burnt alive in public if they were not proved innocent sounded horrible, but then those were brutal times. Blindings, severe torture, hanging, drawing and quartering, breaking convicts on the wheel, throwing them down an oubliette and leaving them, with broken bones, to die in pitch darkness, and lifelong imprisonment in horrible prisons without not just any hearing but even without any knowledge of the charges, under the infamous lettres de cachet - some or all these charming practices were common all over Europe during this period and for nearly 150 years late, till the early 19th century, and the end of the Napoleonic wars.

Then there were burnings at the stake for religious reasons, for the so-called apostates. The Catholic Church routinely burnt Protestants at the stake and vice versa. After Henry VIII of England, Queen Mary was Catholic, then Elizabeth I was Protestant & Church of England. So Mary burnt Protestants and Elizabeth burnt Catholics at the stake, though to be fair to her, it was very largely for political reasons, as many Catholics were plotting to assassinate her, with the active help of King Philip of Spain.

The Spanish Inquisition, of the Catholic Church, routinely 'applied the question'an euphemism for brutal torture on the rack, to suspected apostates, 'to save their souls'

So burning alive must have been, for the Mughals, just a variant on their other practice of walling convicted prisoners alive. More economical in terms to wall space, I suppose (that is black humour, don't take it seriously!)., Down south, they used to have the convicted criminal buried up to his neck, and then get an elephant to knock his head off.

So all this would have been par for the course then. But I still feel that Jodha Akbar is becoming all too harsh and bitter.

Ela, I did not think Jalal's look at Jodha, shown in extreme close up, was passionate. I thought it seemed murderous, and she glared right back at him, not the least bit afraid. Probably being mentally prepared for Jauhar makes it easier for her to contemplate being burned alive, I do not know!

Thank you, my dear.

Yes, that perhaps, for the reason you have mentioned,. with a fall guy up front - they say it would be Hoshiyar.

I think d cvs are gng to gv us a totally new enemy of akbar who actually poisoned d kesar. Reasons coz dey need todisclose d culprit for evrythg to b smwat normal in jodha akbar relationshi. Jodha n her bros r needed to b proven innocent. All d other usual suspects like adham, shariffudin, even d complex maham wl b needed further in d story. Akbar too wnt spare neone who dared to kill his child. So d best option wld b to brg out a new enemy.

Dear Apurva,

If we do what we want Jalal to do, think about the whole, we will realise that we cannot make head or tail of the proceedings. I do not propose to fray my nerves in a guessing game, but will patiently await the denouement. You are much younger, and can thus afford all this nail biting suspense, but I cannot!😉

There is a lot of Drama ahead for which I am excited, Simutaneously Hypervialting, still knwing Jodha will be alive.

I strongly expected Maham Anga to be the guilty on butI was turned wrong, Maham has a split personality Pheeeww That was a relief or I was always wondering why did she raise Jalal?

And I liked Ashwini Kaleskar's acting there, she is fab.I like the part where Maham states that she didn't had any grudges againt's Jalal's child the hier of Mughal Dynasty's Throne

It was overwhelming, Maham's Part in the episode

And I must say everyone in the Mughal Saltanat is very clever, witty and Intelligent Be it Salima or Hamida Bnau

I was wondering what I would have said in that situation and expected they will lower their Heads, but no they came with a reply Bang On! Salima was Fabulous, Man Singh always is and today he rocked!! and Hmaida Banu Begum was Fantastic. Not only Maham has brains here! Her reference to the Mirchi incident and Kesar was duly testes was Awesom I wanted someone to make this point but never expected Hamida Banu to do it.

I hope Jalal calms down and Ponders over it.

And I suspect Adham now. But not 100% just the one who I found the one to be suspected, I agree on what you told before "The CVs of Jodha Akbar are not ordinary one"

Be it any other soap, whole Planet except Jalal must have known the culprit and after 3 months, He\She has been exposed. That type of Track is very Boring.

But This in Jodha Akbar is Awesom!! Even the Audience don't know or is not sure about the Culprit, By the Way who are CVs? They are indeed Brainy People

And we also don't know how Jodha will be saved? Like we didn't in the Moti case but that was small. We had some obviousness there but here Oh Mi what will Happen?/

p.s. I also suspect som other Begums, Jealous ones! They could also do it, no? What to say?

Dear Tara.

I am glad we are on the same page about all this.

You know, I cannot believe that a very astute player like Mahaam would ever have actually believed that her son could ascend to the throne. Perhaps she said that to him once as a carrot to get him to fall in line, but she could not have meant it. it is so patently impossible. But she is now stuck with it, for Adham will not let go!

I completely agree to your post today...

MA's character carries so much of depth...its not easy to understand her...yes at one time she wants Adham to be the ruler and all...but Jalal is a kid to her...nd she doesnt want to harm him.

The way she consoled Jalal yesterday and how she felt for him today...shows the motherly nature in her. Thts wht u can call a strong lady...such strong convictions!

Yes...Hameeda did stand up today...and it was great to see her stand up for Jodha, The lady has understood Jodha and knew that she cant go to this extent. Even MA found it difficult to believe...so Hameeda toh likes Jodha anyway. It was nice to see Hameeda speak up in front of her son...and it was equally nice to see Jalal calm down a bit on hearing Hameeda.

Its surprising how Jodha always end up in a situation where all she can do is ask..AAKHIR HUMNE KIYA KYA HAI??

Lets see how this issue is resolved...not keeping high hopes...but still expecting a logical approach...is tht too much..i guess!😆

Me too, Leelu, and thanks.

But All I can do is to appreciate your words as Your posts are always such a Wonderful and delightful treat to read!! 😃 😳
The only thing I want is this track to end soon as logic is totally deprived here,irritated with Jalal's behaviour and All I want now is him to see the sense soon!! 😳
