First of all wishing every one the best of times in this year ahead and may we rejoice and relive the past glory and creativity of the show that existed once.
CV's I won't write anything more but only have a request to you. Like the disclaimer you all put in the beginning about the historical facts and story line can you all put a disclaimer about the characters as well? Something along the similar lines as follows,
These characters specially Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar has no resemblance or has any similarity to the historical character of "Akbar the great" who once ruled our country and was one of the greatest ruler of the Mughal dynasty.
This show is a cocktail of mythology and fairy tales like Arabian Nights and we have just taken the name of the Emperor once existed to tell a tale of 2 unbalanced characters where the king lost all his marbles and his begum helped him find them and reformed him back to his original self and taught him how to rule the nation. So please don't mistake this character with the historical figure who was extremely intelligent and powerful but here they just share the same name, that is all.
In this story every one is smarter than the emperor be his 'khaas begums', his wazir-e-aliah, his step brother, his courtesans, his dak munshi, his enemies, his people, his pets, his sword, his robes, his crown but HE himself.
If I read this disclaimer I can watch this show without any feelings of cringe and disgust and might even develop the emotions of pity and sympathy for the emperor!
Thank you!
Once again best wishes for this New Year!
