It was very endearing to watch Jalal share his immense happiness on Jodha's recovery with everyone and especially when he called his ammijaan first. He knows the special bond Hamida and Jodha share, may be to some extent he called ammijaan first because of that. In future the relationship between Jalal and Hamida will improve further as Jalal has started to care about everything that matters to Jodha. More on this later. I went back to the DEK scene when Jodha had accused Ben of being a vishkanya. After Ben was proven innocent, everyone was either calling her names or thinking how ignorant one could be. In this case even Hamida could not trust Jodha completely and neither could Salima. How could Jodha ever make herself at home in Agra given that she never really had anyone's support completely or unconditionally. Even during pregnancy case we saw Hamida waver when MA instigated her. I had made this point in one of my earlier posts in wonderment and doubt. Today I felt if not for Jodha sacrificing her life this way, she would have never found a home in Agra. A home is when you have good relationship with people there. By giving that ultimate sacrifice she has gotten everyone on her side, most importantly Jalal. Did Jodha do this to get all this? Ofcourse not, it was her love for Jalal that did not expect anything in return. The same folks who thought Jodha was ignorant or jealous, thanked god for her coming back to life. It was such a contrasting scene with that compared to DEK when it all started. Full credits to Jodha for fighting alone bravely, boldly, persistently and yet never getting a single bit annoyed at Jalal's ignorance or bitter words. The soul talk, Salim Chisti and Shaguni bai make many predictions, none are related to our MA. Imagine Shaguni bai saying, 'chinta na karo raani sa, woh safed naagin MA jaldi hi teerth pe niklegi Mecca ke liye'.đ
Ruqu thanks Jodha in every way possible but yet leaves her with a warning that Jalal is only hers. I wonder if Ruqu has also understood just like MA what Jodha now means to Jalal. Ruqu knows Jalal well, she cannot manipulate or control him regarding certain people. I go back to a scene where Ruqu was speaking ill of MA and Jalal just stopped her. Jalal is a very loyal person and because of this he would now never go against Jodha (CVs meri laaz rakhnađ). Maybe subconsciously Ruqu is asking Jodha to stay away from Jalal as she knows Jalal would not listen to her. I would love the track where Jodha being the 'mahaan infinite halo soap female lead' will try to sacrifice her love for someone else. But, yet her heart/body/mind do not listen to her and yearn to be with Jalal. How I would like to see this kashmkash where Jodha finally concludes that its her right to be with her husband and that she cannot stay away from him because of her love. How I would like Jalal to annoy her further by his charming acts when she is trying hard to stay away to please Ruqu. Enough of my wishlist, they never seem to end..đ
Jalal, the character touches and motivates me yet again (special thanks to RT). Jalal is a person who takes responsibility of his mistakes even when it was not completely his fault. We saw this yesterday when Hamida tried to tell him that it was Ben's cleverness. Today, when Jodha is well he does not take any credit for it. He wholeheartedly expresses his gratitude to every single person who got the love of his life back to him. That entire speech to praja was so heartfelt. I was glad that Jalal talks about his non existent heart, in a strange way admits that he has a heart and hence requests everyone to accept his heartfelt thanks. He is a man who takes the blame, but not the credit - đ. Basically, he is person who only gives and does not expect anything in return. Jodha understood all this very well, no wonder her tears of admiration would not stop. Jodha is unable to believe that she could admire the same man that she hated with so much passion. Jodha had mentioned to Jalal in the past that his praja should do things for him out of love, but not fear. Jodha is the one who told him to become an ordinary person to understand their pain and happiness. Jalal basically did all of those things today. Everything that is dear to Jodha or the things that matter to her, matter to him as well now. One of the reasons is love, but the other one is that he understands the power of praja's dua and love. It was so good to see Jalal thanking god and his praja that proved to him one more time that where there is faith there is always hope. Jalal not only got everyone's faith for Jodha but also gave a her a hope to live. He announces a JASHN to celebrate with everyone. After every JASHN, there is a new KAAND. Hope this JASHN is not shown or does not happen. I was laughing at the way MA was reacting through out the speech. She kept looking at Ruqu to see if there was any irritation and finds none. No wonder in precap we see her back to instigating Ruqu. Salima was a bit alert as well during the speech, it was because she knows that Jalal openly supporting Jodha is going to cause huge problems for her dear sister.
Jodha wants to hear every small thing that Jalal did for her. You see its not her prem, its only her wanting to be alert in case Jalal taunts her. I love the excuses you come up with Jodha and always enjoy moti rolling her eyes just like we all do. Seriously Jodha after the entire speech you are still thinking why Jalal is being so nice to you? Didn't he say that the praja helped him fight the biggest battle of his life. For that, he wants to return the favor by fighting for every problem of theirs. Did you want Jalal to say it more clearly or blatantly that the biggest battle of his life was saving his beloved's life? Come on that's a very dumb expectation..It's such a cute phase that JaJo have entered now. They both have realized the love for each other. But, yet are cautious in making sure that the other person does not read their love. Oh well, you dumbos keep doing that and we will love watching all your excuses and eye talk. RT was superb again in caring for Jodha. All this is so new to him and that is portrayed so well by RT. Jalal looks at Kanha and immediately remembers that he had not thanked him for saving Jodha. He does a quick aarti and OMG gives the aarti to Jodha. How I would have loved Jodha to hold Jalal's hand there, you know the reverse aarti scene that was given to us by Jalal in the good old days. But, apni serial ki laaz sharam wali heroine se aise ummide - lalat hai mujhpe!đ I was for one not happy that yet again they ended the show with Jalal wanting to talk to Jodha. I am willing to forgive CVs, as long as you show some meaningful much required talk between the two.
