Mansi,
Nice to see hope for positive outcome.
But if the story proceeds along these lines woud it not be simply unfair?
How does Jodha's sister become more important than Jalal's brother?
This is not about his brother and her sister. Jalal somewhere is comparing this Shivani-Hakim marriage with his own. If he is still suffering because Jodha was married against her consent why would he want his dear brother suffer the same way ? He wants Shivani's consent because Hakim is more important to him than this another alliance with Amer, and after knowing Shivani's love for that kaarigar would he still want the marriage to happen knowing Hakim will be at loss ? Just because it is now question of his rutba? If Mansi's prediction comes true then chances are there Hakim may feel offended but it is only Jalal who knows how much it affects when you are married to someone who does not love you back.
Of course, as per history Haakim was against Jalal. That should be because of some strong political reason later. Certainly not because of a worthless Shivaani
I agree with Mansi, loving someone and being trapped in a situation like this where you don't want to harm your sisters relation with her husband does not make you worthless! She is young, innocent and clearly cannot understand how horrendously MA is trapping her just because she wants her revenge with Jodha(unknown to Shivani). I am expecting her to confess everything to Jodha today. So lets and watch.
Shivaani is to be blamed here. First of all she chose Agra to elope. Secondly she didn't confide in her mother nor her sister. She might have spoken in the DEK under Mahaam's influence. But even before that when she wrote the letter to Tej, declaring that she would come to Ambe Maa temple and they would run away. This chit is not worth losing a brother for and it would be unfair if we expect Jalal to do so.
Shivani is at fault for this eloping thing but Jalal is not losing his brother because of her! And Shivani would be a chit if she marries Hakim under MA's influence and we all know the marriage is not going to happen. If Hakim fails to realise that Shivani loves someone else and don't want to marry him it is his fault too. If he stands against Jalal's decision for whatever it would be, he is clearly not understanding his brotherly love and Jalal being protective for him.
Moreover they can't show that Jalal actually helped Shivaani and Tej unite. The emperor of Hindustan can't afford to have a non-royal for a relative (even if Tej's status is improved he would still remain a commoner by birth). It would be against his pride. And it should be remembered that Jalal is future Akbar who stood against his own son marrying a commoner and was always rutba-conscious.
That Anarkali story does not have a historical base. AFAIK Akbar did oppose Salim when he wanted to marry Mehrunnisa(Nur Jahan) in his youth and that was because Mehrunnisa's marriage was already fixed to someone else and the emperor could not go back on his words.
Is it okay for Jalal to risk the irk and disappointment and anger of a brother by supporting such a worthless girl? Would it be fair that we expect Jalal to lose Haakim for the happiness of Shivaani-Tej? Would Jodha also consider her sister's felicity more important than the respect of the Mughal Sultanate (as the wedding is going to be publicly announced). Losing Haakim's pyaar would also be okay for her. Would it? Her sister would indeed be more precious to her than Jalal's brother. Others feelings, be it Jalal's or Haakim's can go to hell.
I would say this is not going to be easy for both of them, Jalal and Jodha but you can not be biased when you are a Shehenshah and as for Jodha I feel she will oppose Shivani-Tej but it will be Jalal who will pursue her and as I said if Hakim fails to understand Jalal because this rejection will somewhere hurt his male ego then nothing can be done for it.
Jalal lost his dear fort in Sukanya's wedding. But atleast there Shariffu ws to blame and Sukanya was innocent. But here this Shivaani is not worth losing a brother. Losing his pride, his brother ... all for the sake of the worthless Shivaani and to please a thankless wife?
He chose to gift it to Sukanya after winning it back from her in laws ! Amerians did not ask the fort in khairat. Jalal is already in concern over this marriage and I hope he finds a solution before the wedding bell rings.
