No, my dears, though you are both partly correct, it was not quite like that. Let me try and explain and then you can see if you agree with me.
There are two places where they pray. The first, and the really important one, is at the tomb of the Khwaja, inside. That is where she copies Jalal and prays with hands raised. There, she must have prayed, and with all her heart, for her husband's safety and well being. One does not know what he prayed for,
Next, after the chaadar chadana ceremony and the blessings, they come to the second, subsidiary place and tie threads and make wishes. This is a more devout version of throwing a coin in a well and making a wish. It is not as holy a place as the tomb. So she can ask for whatever she most wants.
Here. Jodha wished not her husband's downfall, but that she should, at least once, be able to teach him a lesson, which is a kiddish thing to want, but not malicious. He wishes that her wish might come true.
My expectation is that after the tiger attack, Jodha will be horrified, thinking that it is her second wish come true in an almost deadly manner. She will see it as a paat for herself, and will feel very guilty. She might even tell him of it later, and he will laugh.
