th Zee TV's historical magnum opus Jodha Akbar
having scaled an impressive 8025 TVTs (Television
Viewership in Thousands) in Week 38, the show is
rapidly racing up the viewership charts and finding its
place amongst the top-rated shows on Indian television.
It is, in fact, the highest rated historical costume drama
on television. It is evident through the show's success
that audiences across the country have loved Zee TV's
interpretation of one of history's most intriguing
chapters.
Zee TV's Jodha Akbar presents viewers with Akbar's
journey from being Akbar the Warrior' to Akbar the
Great' and the role Jodha played in this transformation.
The show captures how Jodha's love had a calming
influence on Akbar, gradually turning the fiery,
aggressive braveheart into a benevolent king and a
better ruler with great appreciation for art, culture and
love for his people.
The show, so far, has captured the trying circumstances
that led to Jodha-Akbar's marriage - how it was a
union based on political power-play rather than true
love. But the story is now set to take a new turn that will
find Jodha and Akbar gradually warming up to each
other ...!
Over the past few weeks, Akbar (Rajat Tokas) was all set
to sentence Jodha (Paridhi Sharma) to death, if it was
discovered that shes responsible for his first wife
Rukaiya's (Lavina Tandon) miscarriage. However, Akbar
learns that Jodha is innocent while it is a lookalike of
his trusted advisor Mahamanga (Ashwini Kalsekar) who
is behind this act of treason. While out hunting, Jodha is
attacked by a tiger. Akbar rushes to her rescue and
saves her from the paws of the predator. As Akbar gets
brutally injured in the process, Jodha goes to great
lengths to nurse him back to health and it is in her
tender, loving care that Akbar first finds his heart
softening towards his wife. Watch this spark turn into a
fire of strong steadfast love that transforms a warrior
into a benevolent king as documented through history
books.
Ajay Bhalwankar, Head- Content, Hindi GECS, ZEEL said,
"We're extremely glad to see that Jodha Akbar has been
received so well by the audiences. The success of the
show establishes that the audiences are genuinely
enjoying and appreciating the unexplored facets of Jodha
Akbar's relationship we've brought to the forefront. While
the audiences have so far seen the resentment, negativity
and misgivings with which Jodha-Akbar's relationship
began, we are now moving into an all-new phase of their
relationship where an incident serves as a catalyst and
sparks off finer feelings for the first time between the
two. The epic romance between the royal couple is all
set to unfold and we hope that the audience enjoys this
new beginning to Jodha Akbar's journey of love."
"The tremendous success of Jodha Akbar has reaffirmed
my belief that viewers across the country are as
fascinated with this epic love story as I have been since
day one. It's a story about the power of love and its
ability to transform someone into a better human being.
It is relevant and relatable to present times as well. In
India, historicals are more incident-based. But we are
focusing on the human stories, characterizations that
focus on inter-personal relationships, the politics, how
the characters think and communicate. Watching the
show grow from a mere thought to being one of the
most popular shows on television is extremely fulfilling. I
think all the actors and the entire crew of the show is
doing a fabulous job! I hope that viewers continue to
give us the same love and support all through," says
Ekta Kapoor, producer, Balaji Telefilms.
Here's wishing more prosperity and success to Jodha
Akbar.
