I had a feeling that you would publish one today and though i have not yet completed it , the thing that caught my attention was the facts about ruqaiya and the current situation she is in , If jalal n jodha can change according to situation why not ruqaiaya and this was the question i put up to vicky too , that would this ruqaiya be same once she learns tht jalal loves some one else and you have pointed out the same , no one seems to understand this fact that iam trying to state and thank you so much for putting it up .
In your words :-
"
I do not know if, once her anger passes, the innate integrity she revealed yesterday will make her more amenable to Jalal coming to love Jodha, while still caring for his Gatti as before. That is a toss up, for she has never seen Jalal in love with another woman, and the sense of loss, and the longing to be loved by him that will be stirred up afresh, will be something she has never known before.
Almost everyone here takes all that Ruqaiya utters ad nauseum, about her being happy controlling Jalal's dimaag, at face value, and concludes that she is not physically or emotionally possessive of Jalal, but only mentally. That, to my mind, is far from the truth. It is so often argued here, wrt Jodha and Jalal, that what they say hides what they mean. So why not for Gatti? Even if she is camouflaging what she feels from herself as well? "
i think she has every right to change and that would add complexity to her character too , after she is one important historic figure and a parallel lead too , there should be a turmoil that she goes through as well after witnessing the changing dynamics in jalal jodha relationship and when she would redeem herself , she would prove to superior than she is now .
Im back to reading the post
