with that said...IF Salima is found by Jalal to be the guilty party, even if we later find out that she was innocent I won't be that upset...WHY you ask?
Because the writers have done little for me personally to become emotionally attached to her. When someone writes, even rightly, anything negative about Jodha, my first response is defend her, even if her actions are crazy and stupid...I'm emotionally invested in Jodha and I love watching JA for her...she is what makes this drama for me.
Then there is MA...I mean I hate her...but that in turn translates to me having an emotional investment with this female costar as well...she is amazing and bringing out the cringing feeling inside the one who is watching her,...or just wanting to slap her...đ
Then there is people like Adham Khan, Sharifuddin, Bakshi Bano, - all of these people haven't had TOO much screen time, but I still have some emotional investment in them as a viewer...when Sharif does his little eyebrow raise, or pauses when he doesn't like what Jalal has done or said...I want to know what he is going ot say or do next...that is emotional investment in their roles...
Further...Even with the Eunuchs...as lame as they are sometimes...I even have some emotional attachment to them, be it Ruq's or MA's...
And of course Ruq...the CV's have done an amazing job with making her all feminine at a few points in time, adn then making me despise her as a woman at other times...even if I don't like the way her character was becoming...in today's epi...she at least stood by the truth... even if everytime she says the word "Shikast" I cringe...what is it with her adn that word...???
So all I mean to say , is although I will be sad for a fleeting moment that someone got wrongly punished for a crime they did not commit...I do not have any emotional attachment to Salima's character...and that is unfortunate, because if she ends up taking hte fall for this heinous crime...I feel as though as a viewer I've been cheated out of feeling something that I want to feel BUT that I can not for the pure and simple reason that her character just has not bee ndeveloped enough in this tv serial for me to care about her...
What do you guys think?
