wonderful post.
This is the void in his life that Jodha will fill, this is the reason he is so attached to her, she is the only one that challenge him, she brings a fire in his life, she makes him feel. These are the things that is drawing him to her.
Also this is what MA saw that is why she was warning Ruku, she realise that Jalal is slowly falling for jodha.
It is sad to see even though he is a king everyone wants a piece of him but no one is taking the time to see what ne needs or understand him.
Beautiful episode, this show is getting better and better with each episode.
