I was observing jalal's expressions during ruk-jo scene ... he was mockingly
staring at jodha first .. then when ruk started with her begum-e-khas, etc.
mentioning that when she speaks no one dare to interfere, not even
shahensha ... jalal's smile fades and he keeps on staring at ruk ... finally
when jodha left ... he was unhappy (superb acting by Rajat)! as if jo took away
everything with her, even the feeling of that wound, he was not interested in
that lep anymore .. he had nothing left with him ... he was very very hurt and
sad. He wanted jo to speak a few word for herself, wanted to hear her saying
that she too has a right on jalal as she is his begum too! .. but when she left
saying nothing jalal was left only with nothingness. Nowadays he is busy
understanding this moving puzzle, his jodha begum, so everything is left
unnoticed and ben is slithering happily in and outside Agra palace ... His
condition is pathetic, neither he can go back to his earlier self where he was
happy in a way, knowing nothing about loving and caring , when he used to
get pleasure hurting jodha,nor he could get that love and care what his heart
is waiting for. Rajat is superb in portraying this helpless Jalal ... don't have
enough words to praise him.
Mansi I love reading your update. I always find something new in the episode
after reading your POV. Thank you so much for that.
My English is not very good so cannot word my observations properly, that's
why I rarely comment. Yesterday's episode was a total waste, but only jalal's
change of expressions through the whole ruk's insult scene forced me to
write down something ... a lot of people are not happy with Jalal yesterday,
but I was not angry after watching jo-ruk-jalal scene in fact was crying for
jalal. This man is bleeding inside, even jo knows that. He wants to hurt jo
ends up hurting himself, he wants to insult jo, but afterwards that very act
gives him sleepless night ... throughout the ben track only thing I was
watching is jalal's situation, the helplessness of an emperor. Jodha with her
one act took away his pride, ego, even his logical thinking ... he has no
explanation for the hold she has over him, he is not happy with this fact . ..
jodha is his only weakness ... let's see how he turns this weakness into his
power. For Jalal (Rajat) I can forget all the bitterness of ben track.
