I doubt she screamed like a banshee on Shah Jahan, though!😆

I think everyone knows and realizes that women in the 16th century were powerful in their own way and played important roles in the running of political affairs...but the whole question is that whether they behaved in a way that Jodha is shown to behave or not!

If Jodha was shown to be exercising her power in some other way...like Ruquaiyya does, it would have been so much more realistic...but to see that she treats her husband like a toilet paper is simply unconceivable for that time and era!

IMO, Ruqaiyya is the perfect example of a truly strong and dominant woman...look how she exercises her power over Akbar...always with a smile on her face and honey dripping from her tounge...while Jodha, keeps raving and ranting and never gets her way!

So who is the stronger and smarter one here?

you said jodha should exercise her power over akbar like ruqaiyaa!! but the question is which power..ruqaiyaa has the supreme power over jalal's thought..but does jodha really has any power?? which power will she exercise over akbar??:-) trust me she really still hasn't gained any type of power over him..:-)

Agreed, that Jodha has no power to exercise over Akbar...and the way she is going about, most unlikely, she will get any power in the future too! She is like, to quote a Russian Minister's comment on the Western World's handling of the Syria Crisis, 'A Monkey with a Grenade in its hand.'

The point I was trying to make was, not that she needs to manipulate or handle Akbar in the way that Ruquaiyya does...but simply behave in a manner that befits the Queen of the Mughal Empire. Which, IMO, she does not!

Oh please.. I don't want her manipulating him.. What kind of a person will Jodha look like.. She needs to find her way into his heart. Jalal doesn't need more manipulative people in his life😡

Don't worry! Can't say how and when, Jodha will reach Akbar's heart, but be rest assured, that she will never manipulate him. She simply doesn't have the brains for it!

You mean if a woman doesn't manipulate her man.. she is dumb?

Not at all! Just that Jodha doesn't have enough brains to do anything of that kind even if she wished to!
