How dare Maham and Ruqaiya can ask her that bloody question in DEK ? 😡 and even Jalal said you did not prove yourself as a begum of Shahenshah 😕 now if only sleeping with him makes her his begum then why don't he ask her to leave Agra🤢🤢

Its really sad 😔
If I disconnect myself from the love for show, I can partially understand why the CVs are degrading Jalal to such an extent.
Till MA is alive, it is known that there was petticoat government. So maybe CVs are trying to show that angle, where Jalal time and time again was manipulated by those he believed to be his "khaas". Akbar is a long road ahead...right now Jalal is the young Shahenshah still easily manipulated by others.

And speaking from a literary point of view, this was a great fall for someone of his station. His actions bring a lot about him into question, even his credibility...I feel angered at this but then I think...this is a big fall for Jalal...and after this he can do nothing else but realise his error and rise in our eyes later. Isnt it?

I mean, if Jalal had not behaved so crudely, if he had not been in the wrong today, would the effect of the truth about Benazir and Jodha being truthful affect him as much when he finds out in the future? If he had not been so harsh today, in the future he will not feel the need to repent or make reparations as acutely. If he was not so mean today, how will he realize he has to be more tender in the future?

Today is a built up for the setback that he will face when he is practically slapped on the face with the truth...and that will affect him deeply...deeply enough to stir his "dil" and make him improve his behaviour...its a built up to a better Jalal I believe.

So lets swallow the bitter pill of today...because a bigger fall is necessary today for Jalal to rise higher in the future.

And credit to Jodha for her tenacity to hold on to the truth. And seeing the bigger picture and prioritizing the Shahenshah's life before anything else, even her dignity. Truth always wins. Jodha is strong. She will not break so easily. Others will break while attempting to break her. 😆

Agree, most god awful, disgusting episode to date. Cannot believe an emperor could be reduced by his egotistic wife, Ruqs, to such a senseless pawn, and become an empty headed rattle toy in the hands of his badiammi.

Really, if this is how low Jalal can sink cos he was spurned by Jodha that night, can we even call it love what he feels for her? Is it not the same as what he feels for all his 5000 harem dwellers, lust? By his own admission, he has no heart. Stupid Jodha, trying to save this knave of a husband.
