Revisiting Mahanta Stakes

Thankfully nothing of the sort happened.

Yes, Jodha made the ultimate sacrifice for Jalal. But Jalal was also as stubborn in saving her life as she had been in saving his. He went after her soul to the steps of the other world to bring her back. When Jodha had lost all will to live, he invoked God to make her come alive again.

It's difficult to say who was great in the end. Both together are great, individually neither is. That's why Jalal tells her soul, "now on, our wajood is because of each other. aap hain toh hum hain, hum hain toh aap."

Now that the track is over, I can see why it was necessary for Jodha to be humiliated so much, and for Jalal to be so harsh to her. That was the foil to this week's awakening of their epic love. If Jalal hadn't pushed her to the brink, Jodha wouldn't have drunk the poison. She would have simply pushed the bowl out of his hand, leading to more MUs between them and leaving Jalal susceptible to continued danger. Her love broke all her reserve and fear and came out in saving him because she could see no other option and she could not bear to see him die. And seeing her in danger made Jalal break out of his prison of frustration and anger and realise he couldn't let her go away.

Today is their marriage anniversary and they will start a new life together. It's as if they are really getting married today. Maybe the CVs dragged the track so that they could show the start of the epic love story from this historic day. 😃
