I agree about your reservations pertaining to Jodha...many jump to her defence that she's been wronged and that she's gone through more than any other...that she's a fighter and that she's in emotional turmoil...
Jalal is a fighter too and in emotional turmoil too...however, he's being civil to her..and the least she could do is be civil to him in public..she need not forgive him...she need not respect him inwardly...she need not need to have an ounce of concern for him...but, the very lady who rebukes people who talk ill of their shehenshah is doing the very same in public- this, doesn't make sense to me...especially her backlash at Jalal in the bazaar made no sense to me...
I supported her during the joda burning and even during the mirchi incident since her anger at those stages seemed more justified...howeverm her behaviour lately has no basis at all!
Salima has also been wronged...Jalal sent away her husband (according to her this could have been a disgrace on BK's lifelong devotion) after all BK was Jalal's father figure...and consequently BK ended up being assassinated there...yet, she doesn't hold that grudge against Jalal...
Basically, I'm not saying Jodha should be overtly sweet like Salima, but she need not be as acidic as she is being now...its not reflecting well on the dignity of a 16th century princess - however fiery or not!
I disagree about your opinions on Ruqaiyya...yes, she has a confidence and arrogance about her power over Jalal and her status in the harem...but, at least so far - it's only been proven right...she is the most powerful and Jalal does fancy her the most...she is intelligent and just like Jalal, overlooks the finer sentiments of life...they're pretty much made for each other like friends...his face lights up with genuine happiness whenever he sees her and her's with earnest joy whenever she sees him...whatever her faults, her belief on Jalal's capabilities and her loyalty to Jalal is still untainted! She might NOT be a good wife ...but, Jalal doesn't seem to want her as a wife...he wants her as an empress and as a friend- both duties, which she does perfectly me thinks!😳
