I am wondering why Akbar treats his own mother so casually as if her existence does not matter to him. And always badi ammi badi ammi when his own mother is there? Why this partial ignoring treatment for own mother and worshipping some nurse maid. After all he had many more nurse maids Maham was not alone.
I understand that Hamida was not there much in his childhood but it was not done purposely it was fate why Akbar does not understand that. To me it seems he has some kind of grudge agianst his mother(yes he accusses Salim of betraying parent love and he is doing same thing for Hamida)
Hamida had to leave 1 year Akbar as hostage with Kamran and leave with Humayun to persia. May be that is why they both had no strong bond and only when he was 3 years he met his mother. Again when he was 5 he was again seperated from his parents as they were running to save ther life so they left him with shamshuddin khan atagah(his minister in serial) and his wife care and again went away till he was 7-8 years old in Kabul.
Basically they were persecuted and betrayed by family members again and again and were alone without anyone to help. So they had to leave Akbar in care of maids and with friends etc because they did not want him to make the life threatening journeys. So its really not his mother-father's fault.
I do not understand why Akbar is still not close to his mother in serial? Why he feels lonely? He is not a small kid that he cannot understand the pain his parents have undergone to save his life, to keep his safe from relatives and enemies. I think he must try and mend this distance between his mother Hamida and him. He needs to realize no one in this world thinks more about his well being than his own mother.
But he thinks Maham anaga thinks more of his safety and loves him more than his mother. I can understand 9 years olds even 15 year olds getting so influenced by Maham anga's emptional drama but Akbar is no longer a kid he is 20, grow up and try to develop a bond with your mother and treat her with more care because all life she has lived life of a persecuted person. Atleast give her some happiness now- is that too much to ask of a child?
If i was Hamida or Humayun i would be wild at Akbar for treating some nurse maid with more care and respect and listening to her than his own parent. I hope once Maham dies atleast Akbar starts giving importance to his own mother. I love Jodha that way how much she cares for her parents and siblings although they forced her to marry Akbar for their benefits. Even Adham the brute is better at least he respect his mother.
But Akbar's behaviour truly gets on my nerves especially the way he shooed off Hamida a few weeks back when she was trying to put Jodha's innocence to him saying "This is siyasi masla, i lost a child no one can understand that pain blah blah blah or something".
Lucky him Hamida is his parent anyone else would have given him one whack to get him to his senses. Hamid should have told him "You have lost a unborn child and so much pain imagine my son in front of my eyes after many years of seperation and he treats maid with more respect and love and care than own mother. How must i feel?" and just walked off without waiting for his reaction.
Poor Hamida whenever she tries to speak or bond with him his uncaring attitude stops her or his anger and irritation scares her off although she tells jodha always "Jalal cannot behave like with you to me" but Hamida must realize he is not behaving like a son should do with mother. All that son affection, respect, care is reserved for badi ammi Maham anga and own mom is treated like some furniture of Agra fort.
When Maham can take all liberties with him like anger, warning, eye rolling etc his own mother cannot even put her point across for him to listen???? Hamida is too innocent- Jodha must train her how to put her son on leash and teach Akbar how to treat his own mom with respect and value her presence.
