Before starting my take , I will like to share something with u all π³ .. Two weeks back when I was travelling to Kolkata (my hometown) to celebrate Diwali , I saw none other than Rajat Tokas walking right in front of me in Mumbai Airport π²π³π³...
I just could not believe my eyes when I saw Rajat wearing a orange t-shirt with a cap and looking absolutely stunning with his silky hair( it was not gelled like in the show ππ³) passing by in the airport right besides me π²π² .. I was that time busy with my family to get the boarding pass and stuff since it was quite crowded in the morning or else I would hv gone to him and taken an autograph for sure π... But the funny thing is even though crowd in airport were all wispering "dekho dekho Jalal " including me π , none really walked upto him to take an autograph which is typical of Mumbai crowd ka attitude of hum kisi se kam nahin ππ.. I guess thats why Rajat too was freely roaming in the airport since he knew well that early morning when Mumbaikars r busy running here and there to catch flights , none will really come and attack me π... I m guessing he might b there to catch a flight to his hometown Delhi π€
Anyways so coming back to Rajat , time for a heartbreak and plss forgive me for it π , but Rajat was not alone ,.. He was there in the airport with a lady and it looked like the same lady who came in SBS though I m not too sure π€... So that lady was walking with Rajat to a nearby pastry shop inside the airport and were walking hand in hand like a couple ... Rajat thought with that cap on noone could recognise him but well how can anyone not recognise him ππ³... Let me tell u all that he is very very very fair and good looking , even looks better than what we see on screen π³... Also in casual orange t shirt and cap , he looked like a cool college boy types π³... But his height is quite short .. I m myself 5'3" and Rajat was almost same height as me or mayb just a inch longer π€... But who cares about height when he is such a good looking guy π³... I was so mesmerised watching him chupke chupke , that I dint notice the girl alongside him much but like I said it looked like that SBS girl only and from the feel I got , it seems he is in a serious relationship with her π.. Anyways will not go into that as its his personal life which we should respect , I only wanted to share this experience of seeing Rajat in real from so so close π³
Right after security chk , first thing I did was call up Mansi(skanda12) from Airport and share this news with her .. it was around 7am I guess π... I told Mansi not to tell anyone till I m back and poor her , her stomach was hurting to hide this news for so long that I saw Rajat in airport π.. we both that time only assumed he might b travelling to Delhi to celebrate Diwali π³...
Phew thats it from me about seeing Rajat in airport ..Now will get on with Episode take π
This week was all about confusion , rumours , misunderstanding , politics but the final outcome we all know will b Jalal emerging as the saviour of Jodha once again and proving this pregnency rumour false thus protecting his wife's dignity and honour like a true Shehenshah βοΈ...
What I feel is the main purpose of this whole pregnency rumour track is to make both Jalal and Jodha realise in the end that both first need to trust each other's words or else outside enemy will always keep taking advantage of their relationship to create such misunderstandings ...
Today's episode once again nails the fact that Jalal is not just a true Shehenshah when it comes to fair decision making but also a responsible husband when it comes to protecting his wife's honour in front of others the way he took all the blame on himself and became the villain in front of his mother's eyes too just to make sure noone questions Jodha's character .. total respect to Jalal ..the husband today βοΈ...
Here are my top 10 interesting moments and analysis from this week's episodes π³
1) The most spl gift of Jalal to Jodha on her birthday :
The mor-pankh and flute gift of Jalal was truely an unexpected one and it once again proves that even though Jalal might claim he dont hv a heart but he has got this unique talent of recognising whats there in other person's heart ππ³... He knows well that Jodha is not too fond of jewelleries or other such luxurious items but she wants a gift that can truely touch her heart and so what a better gift than Kanha's flute and mor-pankh since Jodha is such a Kanha devotee πππ³...
This proves how well Jalal understands Jodha these days but I guess Jodha is yet to develop that same level of understanding for Jalal since she always assumes the worst for Jalal and I guess Jalal takes it as challenge to always prove her wrong in this department π...
But I m happy that Jodha tells Jalal how this gift is by far the most special and precious gift for her which makes Jalal all happy and proud βοΈ.. This is what I always admire about Jodha despote all her other flaws .. if she likes something , she will say it directly to that person and if she dislikes anything , then too she will do the same ππΌ
2 ) The whole pregnency rumour track will only bring Jalal and Jodha closer in terms of trusting each other ππΌ
I think this whole pregnency rumour track will actually make Jodha realise how much Jalal as a husband trusts and understands her when he will prove her innocence in front of everyone thus keeping her dignity and honour intact and so eventually she will realise that Jalal is a man of his words and so if he had promised her not to touch her against her wish , he will never break that promise , so she should never ever doubt him on that .. At the same time this track has already made Jalal realise today that Jodha too is a woman of her words with a pure character , so she can never commit any such sin , and so he will never ever doubt her character based on what others say , reason why today he protects her honour by lieing to everyone and taking all blame on himself
Even Jalal's bleeding heart earlier somewhere knew that despite all sort of rumours , Jodha can do no wrong , reason why when Jodha told Jalal that she has Rajput blood too , none has touched her and she is all pure , I m sure Jalal actually believed her words or else he would not go to Salima begum later to seek neutral advice regarding the whole issue ...
Maham overhearing Jalal and Jodha's convo regarding pregnency confusion and trying to take advatange of it by proving Jodha characterless has actually worked as blessing in disguise now since after taking Salima's advice , today we saw how Jalal will never let this happen and will try to find out the real culprit since now he knows well that if Jodha never let him touch her , then she can never cross her limits too with some other random guy as Salima too vouched for it ...Next week we all know Jodha will vomit after drinking that rose sharbat π and so Jalal will get the full confirmation too and will b in full josh to expose the real culprit π
Overall this track will make sure both come close to each other in terms of trust and understanding which so far was missing in their relationship ππΌ
3) This track has exposed few flaws in Jodha's character which I would like to mention here today :
Before I mention these flaws , let me b clear that I love Jodha the way she is portrayed as this smart intelligent and head strong woman who never bows down in front of anyone or feels the need to please anyone but follows her own mind and heart πππ... Everyone in this forum too knows how much I hv defended Jodha for all these qualities π³... So thats why today the flaws I will mention about her are not something I want CVs to rectify but instead as part of storyline I will want Jodha the character to rectify these flaws once this track reaches to its climax because the beauty of any character always lies in its journey from being a flawed one to reaching the level of perfection
My main grudge regarding Jodha in this whole track is that just the way Jalal had a second thought about Jodha that she could b innocent and so went to Salima begum for advice after the tarazu scene , I wish Jodha too had a similar thought about Jalal and believed that Jalal too could b telling the truth regarding his promise which he will never break and further went to test if she is really preggy or not for second time instead of going bonkers over Jalal π€... Jodha is a intelligent woman and she knows well that Jalal desperately wants a waaris for himself , so why will he accuse her character and spread rumours about her if he knew its his baby ?? .. so she should hv thought on those lines and doubted that something might b fishy about this preggy news .. I would hv loved to see her doing a self talk like "Am I really preggy if Jalal is so sure that he did nothing .. let me chk again π€".. this is the self thought I wish Jodha had done in this track and then I could hv said both Jalal and Jodha's inner conscience knows and trusts each other but in this case I can say it for Jalal but not for Jodha π...
Problem with Jodha is she always jumps and assumes the worst when it comes to Jalal and then goes around telling it to her daasi like Moti or her own Maayka people unlike Jalal who made sure this whole thing is hidden from even his childhood buddy Ruqaiyya or his dayimaa Mahamanga because certain things are suppose to remain secret and private only between husband and wife until and unless its sorted out fully π...
See Jalal dint share this secret even with Ruqaiyya who is his childhood buddy or his own mother Hamida too .. he could hv told them na that I dint touch Jodha , so I dunno how she is preggy .. But he dint say it because he knew its a very private and serious matter between him and Jodha only and so he need a matured and neutral candidate like Salima for advice .. And even when he told Salima , he dint tell her in Jodha-accusing tone but instead told her both his and Jodha's version so that she can judge it neutrally .. But contrary to that Jodha just said it all to Moti without thinking of its consequences in a total Jalal-accusing tone ..I know we can say Moti is trustworthy for Jodha but then so is Ruqaiyya or Hamida for Jalal .. so why Jalal dint say it to Ruqaiyya or Hamida ? simply because at times there r few secrets between hubby-wife which u cant share even to your most trusted or closed ones .. Jodha need to realise this ...
The news have spread like wild fire because of Maham eavesdropping or else Jalal made sure it remains all private till he finds out the truth whereas Jodha goes around telling every single detail to Moti which I dint really appreciate .. Even though Moti is harmless but still u cannot go around telling your bedroom details and tiffs to your daasi ..isn't it π€.. Thats the reason why Maham took advatange of Jodha's loose mouth and made it look as if the news is spread by some gossiping going around among the daasis in harem ...
Even in today's episode , Jalal took all blame on himself to make sure he can protect Jodha's dignity and honour in front of everyone till the real truth is out unlike Jodha who not once did any sort of self-thought regarding whether she is really pregnent or not because most of her time went in hating Jalal or cribbing to Moti as usual ...When Jalal today in front of his own mother took all blame on himself and even went to the extent of telling his mother that he slept with Jodha but was not sure if she can get preggy with just one night and so wanted to make sure if she had any fling earlier in Amer , I wonder how come Jodha never got any doubt that Jalal might be telling these lies to hide some secret since Jalal has never ever changed his statement in this manner suddenly but as usual she was quick enough to pounce on Jalal with her hate speeches ..
So after this track is over , I want Jodha to realise that its not always a smart thing to assume the worst about your husband and go around badmouthing him to your daasis but rather she should learn to keep certain things secret until and unless those r sorted out just like Jalal is doing in this track .. π
4) The beautiful tarazu symbolism followed by Jalal-Salima scene ..Jalal in both scenes was a silent listener and that helped him a lot to realise few things ππΌ ...
I loved both Tarazu and Jalal-Salima scene ππ .. Jalal was a silent listener in both the scenes since his inner conscience is repeatedly telling him that Jodha can never commit such a sin and if she had comitted such a sin , she will b brave enough to admit it like she has always done rather than go this defensive and thats why Jalal feels the need to seek advice from a neutral party like Salima before drawing any sort of conclusion or taking any final decision which is what a shehenshah should always do and so full marks to Jalal for showing the presense of mind of a Shehenshah ππΌ
Coming to thursday epi's tarazu symbolism .. well the balance of tarazu was clearly shaken there simply because both Jalal and Jodha r sailing in that same boat of confusion and misunderstanding .. that tarazu will b all balanced at equal the day both start trusting each other and become a joint unit as husband-wife fighting all the evil forces ...
I loved today's(friday's) tarazu scene too ... but I m unable to understand the symbolism of this scene π€ ...So will wait for various interpretations in forum π
5) Jalal-Jodha arguments and tiffs over pregnency rumour are quite intense .. both r in pain since both started keeping expectations from each other π³
I must admit that all these Jalal-Jodha arguments and tiffs are actually quite intense π³... Both are in pain because both hv started expecting something from each other π³.. Jalal started expecting Jodha's loyalty towards him and his family forever and Jodha started expecting Jalal to always remain truthful and loyal to his promises since in the past too he has fulfilled his every single promise and whenever there r expectations , u do hv a heartbreak too and whenever there is a heartbreak , u know there is love blossoming too ππ³π³...
I actually felt bad when Jalal and Jodha were hving those arguments whole week where both their eyes were filled with tears of pain and heartbreak π .. Even today when Jodha was venting out her frustration and telling Jalal how much she hates him for all this , she was feeling the pain of actually saying those hateful words to him and he too was silently gulping down all the pain as he knew that right now silence is best medicine for both of them ππ...Neither Jodha can believe how Jalal dint keep his promise and now instead blaming her for the pregnency with a serious accusation on her character which was spreading in Mahal like wild fire and nor Jalal can believe Jodha can ever cheat on him and then blame him for breaking his promise but the sad part is both dont hv any proofs with them ... I really cant blame both because the situation is such that both parties are in shock and disbelief and its happening because there is a lack of trust in their own relationship which is where enemies r taking advantage
The initial phase of love is always painful and Jalal-Jodha r going through that initial phase right now ..If they can overcome this phase , there will b no stopping to this epic love story then on βοΈ
6) Ruqaiyya playing fair and once again proving to b an ideal Mughal begum πππ ...
I loved the way Ruqaiyya slaps that guy for speaking bad about Jalal's baby even though some other begum is carrying Jalal's baby ππΌ ...She herself has gone through a similar truama of loosing her baby due to all the internal politics .. so she dont want another mother to go through the same even if its her enemy .. This is future indication that tomorrow if Jalal and Jodha even declare their love for each other , Ruqaiyya might feel jealous and heartbroken , but she will never go to the extent of harming Jodha since for her Jalal's happiness and also a women's motherhood holds top priority than her own position as begum-e-khaas ... She wants to remain begam-e-khaas but not at the cost of hurting Jalal or any other begum in that harem even if its Jodha ππ..
Even in the scene where Jodha questioned Jalal in front of Ruqaiyya , I loved the way Ruqaiyya stood quiet and listened to what Jodha had to say about the pregnency instead of acting like a jealous insecure wife ππΌ ...Jodha words to Jalal in front of Ruqaiyya also clears the doubt from Ruqaiyya's mind regarding Jodha's feelings for now and Ruqaiyya now knows Jodha will never intentionally come between her and Jalal's friendship .. This can actually result in positive bonding between Jodha and Ruqaiyya in future and who knows mayb Ruqiayya one day will herself realise that just how as a friend noone can take her place in Jalal's life , same way as a lover or wife , noone can take Jodha's place in Jalal's life since its decided by destiny and she might even accept it with dignity and will b content with the fact that she still reamins Jalal's best buddy ππΌ ..
Even in today's episode Ruqaiyya was jealous and insecure of the fact that Jalal has selected Salima to share secrets or seek advice but the best part about her character is she is very upfront in expressing her anger or jealousy .. She just says it on the face of that person like she tells Salima today unlike someone like Maham who will act goody goody in front of all but will plan and plot behind people's back .. Thats why I admire Ruqaiyya for being brutally honest at times
7) Angry and frustrated Jalal imagining himself and Jodha in place of that husband-wife ..What could the scene indicate ?? π€..
This scene can have lots of interpretations since we r not sure if Jalal was only imagining his and Jodha's face on that husband-wife because of similar situation or he was not only imagining the face but even those words spoken too π€
I feel in this case those words belonged to that man only who wanted justice there against his wife cheating on him despite loving her so much but because of similar situation , Jalal only imagined his and Jodha's face on that man and his wife .. so the words belonged to the man and not Jalal π€.. But in case Jalal even imagined those words that the man was saying then this sort of indicates that he is actually in love with Jodha and so this whole thought of Jodha cheating on him is affecting him so much π.. The man clearly said my wife cheated on me despite me loving her so much .. so if Jalal even imagined those words , then its clear that Jalal is in love and thats why this extreme pain and hurt he is feeling .. Earlier too there was a similar case of one of his begum cheating on him , that time he was heartless enough to directly punish her and only when Hamida intervended , he released her , but he was not really affected on emotional level like this time π€... So again a future indication that he is in love with Jodha and just cannot believe that she can cheat on him ... reason why he is not even disclosing the truth to anyone π€... I doubt he would hv kept quiet if it was some other begum π€
8) The milk fiasco .. Who is the real culprit ?? π€
Its now almost clear that something is fishy and this whole pregnency news is a conspiracy for sure .. in earlier days there were no pregnency test kit or those stuffs to detect pregnency .. so most of these ladies used to detect it with various symptoms like mood swings etc etc ... so its actually easy to mix something in drink and create those symptoms and then blame the woman that she is preggy .. Even the women today said the same thing and so she admits that if Jodha has consumed such ark kind of thing , they she might b getting pregnency symptoms despote not being preggy π€
The other day some women mixed something in milk which was suppose to b for Jodha and I felt the woman's eyes who mixed something in milk resemble Bakshi bano's eyes but the question is why will Bakshi bano do this π ... I m sure Bakshi bano on her own will never harm Jodha ka character this way na π
What I feel is Bakshi bano might know that Shariff had mixed some ark in Jodha's drink that day when celebrations were going on for her birthday ,..Right after the drink Jodha fainted and was declared pregnent .. But she cannot go and tell anyone that Shariff is main culprit since she is his wife .. So to protect Jodha from this humiliation and at the same time making sure her husband too dont get caught for spreading these false rumours , she might hv mixed some Antidote of that ark in the milk which will result in Jodha vomitting and thus it will b proved she is not preggy since that women too told Jalal that antidotes exist for such arks which when consumed by the lady , she will vomit in few hrs time and it will b proved she is not preggy .. But Salima consumed that milk and she started to vomit instead π.. So its clear that Bakshi bano was trying to protect Jodha there by giving her this antidote in advance so that its proved she is not preggy and at the same time her husband is not caught too ...
Anyways Jodha had that antidote today from Salima's hand at least and she will surely vomit next week to clear the air ππ
9) Did Maham dig her own grave by trying to b too smart ?? ππ
So Maham thought of doing some chance pe dance by spreading this rumour about Jodha's pregnency from other guy to destroy her character in front of everyone π‘... But in this process she ended up telling Hamida that she was the one who eavesdropped when Jalal and Jodha were hving this argument π... So this means later when the pregnency rumour truth will b solved and question will b raised on who has spread this rumour in public , Maham too will b exposed in front of Jalal as she was the one who eavesdropped into this convo of Jalal-Jodha .. She herself admitted this to Hamida and I hope Hamida remembers this once the issue is sorted out and tells it to Jalal too that your Maham dear eavesdropped in your bedroom πππ
10 ) Jalal the perfect husband βοΈ
Last but not the least in today's episode , Jalal was a pure husband protecting his wife and so for the first time he even lied in front of his mother and took all the brickbats from everyone just to make sure Jodha's honour remains intact till he proves her innocence π...
I really want to see Jodha repenting each of her hate words that she spoke against Jalal once the truth is out and Jalal proves Jodha's innocence in front of all .. Its high time we see a perfect wife in Jodha too just how we r seeing a perfect husband in Jalal π...
Thats it from me ... looking forward to all your reviews and comments on this week's episodes
