Nice write-up😊
I can understand the angst against Jodha... sometimes we all prefer and relate more to one character over another. I had a difficult time reconciling with Jalal's actions and the mess he had made at Sukanya's wedding...his going back on his word regarding the fort, his deceit in getting it back, not wanting to entertain the charge against Cheapuddin...yet he restored my faith with one act of gifting the fort to Sukanya, ensuring her future stability and keeping his word ! The same can be applied to Jodha...she has come far from her initial ghrina phase... she has been through 'Hum nafrat karte hain aapse...aap hamaari jeet ki nishani hain...you will be physically used & discarded ...zinda jalaa denge...Mughal Sultanat ki Izzat ke liye bachhaya aapko...etc etc...
She is an innocent , inexperienced girl who is petrified of the intimate side of marriage due to constant harping from MA & Ruqs about being used and thrown away by Jalal...He is being way too gentle with since he can sense her fear without even knowing how her psyche has been messed up by his BadiAmmi & Begum-e-khaas😡
I will leave her in very capable hands of Jalal😉 and trust him to set this right.🤗
And will wait for their beautiful story to unfold.😊
