Rukiya loves jalal, but is not in love with him. for her what is more important is her status in life, when jalal was hurt by the tiger, rukiya was not upset that jalal may die, she was more upset that if jalal dies she will loose all chances of bacoming mariyam -ul- zamani.
she does not care that jalal marries a slave girl and make her queen, because she knows that jalal will not give benazeer more importance then herself, benazeer in not of Royal blood and will never gain status as primary queen.
she is so blind and selfish that she is willing to put jalal life in danger, only to spite Jhoda, not even once concerning her self with why a smart woman like Jhoda could make such a propitious and unlikely accusation. of banazeer being a vishkanya. when jhoda could have only accused her of being an assassin sent by abu mali, abu mali could have been grilled and the truth got out of him.
rukiya is selfish and ungrateful, but i hope she bares the consequences of her actions and jalal realises how selfish, ungrateful and petty rukiya really is
