When he has no doubt bout what his Badi Ammi read to him, why will he be careful? Moreover, once he doubts her integrity on the states affair, that will be the last day for her in his court. So I don't expect him to doubt Maham in any matter, if someone suggests that, he will ridicule them and might get angry @ them and not with maham.
P.S: Even today we have many family owned business in India where they have only the family members to deal on all the highest & sensitive posts. 😊😊
Yes Jaya, it is a fine line between what is family and official in some circumstances. And since Jalal is still young that line between the trustworthy people and the non-trustworthy people is also one that will come more with experience. I fully agree that this Jodha letter was a personal issue.
But I don't agree with that sentence you have written that :"Moreover, once he doubts her integrity on the states affair, that will be the last day for her in his court." That was not true of Bairam's death (in which Jalal was clearly able to see that Maham had a hand but could not prove it and hence married Salima for her protection).
In fact as Sangeetha pointed out, Maham proves to be untrustworthy in many petty issues, till one day she does something big and gets caught which he then is unable to condone as he usually does ... and history shows he started depending more on Bhagwant das and other Amer family people as his nearest advisers, so that life did not come to a halt after Maham's exposure.
No one is indispensable I guess, and the show (i.e. life) must go on! And sometimes we know that our close ones are actually trying to undermine us but till we have proof we are forced to put up with them. It would be ideal, na, if Jalal at least had suspicions on Maham even if he did not go after her yet? That way he would at least be alert to her chaals?
