- Why is an emperor like Akbar so blindly in love and respect of Maham Anga while ignoring his mom Hamida?
Its possible that MA poisoned Jalal against Hamida. The child was so young when his own parents had to leave him. At that tender age it is easy to feel insecured and have ties with whoever will shower some love.
- Why Hamida and Akbar not close? Yes he was hostage with uncle for one year so does that mean he grows so close to his nurse maid Maham and ignore Hamida
Same reason as above
- Jalal had atleast 3 wet nurses one that minister Samsuddin Agtah wife JiJi Manga. So why so much blind fate and loyalty to Maham? What about his other 2 foster mom's and foster bro's? Why so much favouratism towards MA and Adham?
Ekta madam's decision, not sure about this
Because she saved his life. If that is the case what about Hindal Mirza who was killed by Akbar's uncles for rescuing Akbar from that fort. Does he not deserve more credit for saving his life? Akbar should be more loyal and grateful to Ruqu as she was Hindal Mirza's daughter.
Ekta madam's decision, not sure about this
I wonder how an emperor can be so innocent in such matters not to recognise own family and friends designs. Jalal is too young and immature currently like a teenager in college. He requires more years and exp to recognise friends from foes by himself without others help.
Its not about being innocent. There are few people that you absolutely trust, its hard to survive without them. In this case for Jalal it was the cruel MA and harsh khan baba.
I think in this matter 4 men will help him and mentor him-Birbal, Man Singh, Rahim, Abul Fazl
and 4 women shall help him- Hamida, Ruqu, Jodha and Salima
These 8 will become his close confidants for life.
As everyone knows Birbal was his adviser, Man Singh his commander in chief, Abul Fazl his best friend, Rahim his spiritual guide and Salim's mentor, Ruqu his harem incharge, Jodha helping in business ventures, Hamida handling buildings and Salima handling court affairs when he would be away from agra travelling or in war.
Great points
- I am just curious in jehangirnama, Salim says Akbar lost 4-5 kids before he was born. So how did those kids die or were they killed?
Point to note Salim and his 2 bro's and 3 sis were born after Maham Anga's death
According to Ekta, Resham killed all of them
But brilliant acting by Jalal- the way he walked from Salima's chamber to his own chamber and said Taqlia. 👏 Tears were waiting to come yet he held them back till he was all alone. Where does Ruqu disappear in crucial scenes? I thought she/Salima will console him(Jodha cannot as they are not close) but Salima though shocked to see him in tears did not go and console him. Why? Is she not his cousin sis and childhood friend? Not as a husband or emperor but you can console a shattered person like friend/cousin brother. That scene somewhere disappointed me that a person is shattered and Salima did not even offer few words to console or hug him/place hand on his shoulder to console a greiving father a cousin brother? Why?
Agreed, but Salima is very matured. She knows that Jalal is not someone who looks for support, at that time she knew he would prefer to be alone than take her company. She just respected his privacy. Even Ruqu wasn't there to console him when khan baba died. That's why Jalal has a deep wound that never gets healed, its only Jodha who will understand and help him heal.
Does Salima think Jalal killed Bairam Khan or was responsible for his death?
I don't think so, else he wouldnt marry her.
