I mean that's 16th century...n wives r supposed to respect their hubbiesn evn husbands or kings were soo dominating that tym..just like shariffu..but jalal...he's sooo damn simple...is this potrayal correct!!!!???? 😲 😕

Its 21st century serial liberty coming to play here...it'd possibly be easier for viewers this day and age to relate to them as long as they didn't show Jalal very superior. Even Ruqaiyya calls him by his name... I doubt the real Ruqs would have called her husband by name even if they were best friends...

It is done so because it will be more palatable to today's audience. If any ruler is portrayed how he was, a majority of audience will not be able to digest it. It will limit the audience. In fact the makers have shown guts in not hiding the harem and multiple marriages. Every authentic historical document backs that Akbar mellowed down in his middle age. In spite of authentic documents the parliamentarians created ruckus and objected to akbar's portrayal. Even the historicals like prithviraj chahuan or maharana pratap have tweaked and toned down content. I think jalal is nicely portrayed in the show. He looks every bit royal yet relatable. He convinces one of his authority yet vulnerability. They should never reduce him to chocolate hero and seeing the graph of this show it should not happen. I am able to differentiate when an emperor is talking and when the husband takes over.

i am not sure in jehangirnama salim refers to mother by title mariam uz zamani but father akbar as father only

Hmmm...i agree..n even...jalal's potrayal shows that akbar was much forwarded...he gave his wives n evn othr women to speak...n xpress them...especially to jodhu...she's sooo damn blunt in front of her...n even while MC track...once he said that...may it be girl or boy...it doesn't mattr to him...he treats both equally...so much forward thoughts...so...maybe this character potrayal does make sense!!!

hmm...I think he enjoys her lectures as no one dares to raise his/her voice before Shehenshah...and in initial days it was shown Jalal salutes the guts of people who face him standing tall...sar uthaye,,,naaki sar jhukaye...e.g Maan Singh.
