Humor is a part and parcel of entertainment.
Taking pot shots is must.
Paying heavily was also, written in same way.dt hw he ll make his follies correct.😕..
Shayad, my words went in doldrums.It was a light hearted comment.😊.
M in same boat as yours..I too never criticize "characters".
Just as i said, may be the words portrayed something else.

Guys, don't even blame the CVs. The Indian history (not exactly Mughal & that too Akbar) is so much full of this kind of situations, where the king use to stay with the court dancer forgetting his responsibility and on many occassions, the ministers were to meet him @ the dancer's place to get some approvals where the kings approval was must. Here atleast, Jalal is shown courting Benazir at his own room but there were cases the Indian rulers spent months / years together in those dancer's house fully drunk and forgetting not only his state but also his family.
The dancers were the ladies (parden me for addressing them as ladies, though I am feeling bad to call them so) who knew how to use their language (both verbal & body) to please the king to get whatever they wanted.
On Many occasions, the enemies use to use teh beautiful dancers as their spies in their opponants court to get the prime details.
