shyamala aunty :thanx for the post. even i was surprised that Jodha did nothing to speak up for herself when she was ready to move mountains to save Moti. instead all she worries about is about her Amer ki shaan and sandhya puja. i guess she belongs to that class of people who can give their lives for others, but fail to put their foot down when it comes to themselves. ( the male protagonist in my favorite show is one such example ).
anyways, like you have said in one of your previous posts, i'm too depending on Man Singh in this matter. after all he has got far more maturity and common sense than others, even his father and chachas ! Bhagwan Das ka toh phir bhi theek hai, but the rest of them stands with a roni surat expression on their face all the time ..ready to burst into tears at any moment ! arrgghhh😡 !
about the culprit, i dont think it's Maham Anga's doing. the arguments she put forward to Resham looked convincing enough to me, and i'm ready to buy it. coz like Ruqaiya said (she's far more intellectual than Jodha and i'm pleasantly surprised by the fact that she didnt keep lamenting over what's lost forever but got her grey cells working over the matter) , there had been suspicious miscarriages in the royal harem in the past too. agreed that Ruqaiya became a threat to Maham's unquestionable power overnight, but how can she feel insecure of other insignificant begums delivering a royal heir ? after all, none of them can possibly influence Jalal the way Maham and Ruqaiya does, right ?
i rule out Adham Khan and Sharifuddin for all the reasons you have cited in your previous posts, ek ko Moti Bai ke sapne dekhne se fursat nahi milta and the other one has probably no idea about such female-oriented matters !
so who can be the possible culprit then ? for me, it has to be someone from the harem itself...one of Jalal's many begums who vie for his attention. someone who hates Ruqaiya intensely (of course a lot of the ladies in the harem hate her) and also noticed Jalal's growing fondness towards Jodha .. remember, of late whenever Jalal entered the harem, it was to visit Jodha only. so for her Jodha emerged as a potential threat while she wanted to crush Ruqaiya completely too. and hence she mixed the dhature ka ark in the kesar brought from Amer .. as a way of killing two birds with one stone !
fingers crossed, lets see if i'm right !
