To Jalal, MA is a mother figure and Rukkiya is more of a friend( she is his cousin sister) and less of a wife.They still have a lot of influence on him. Trust me, he will see through it, but not overnight. For me, Jodha shouldn't care about small battles...she has to win the war. Her only option is staying in Agra...cant go back to Amer. Her best weapon to help survive...Jalal's unconditional support. She needs to work on removing his insecurities and his impression of her that she is unpredictable.He likes her so much not just because of her beauty and talent but also because she is not petty like most other women he knows. She is not doing it deliberately, but it is her first realization that she means sooo much to Jalal and it makes her very happy...Remember, Moti telling her that he stayed with her instead of going after Rukkiya...Whether Atgah suggested is not important NOW...Jalal could have refused...what is important is that he stayed WITH Jodha...This is a big slap on Rukkiya's face...she probably hasn't thought about it...He hasnt said a word to MA since that night. She just stands there like any other bandi...no one asking for her opinion. When he told Moti to not let anyone in...he meant Rukkiya and MA..Everyone else has more common sense and courtesy. His address to awaam was an indirect declaration of love for Jodha and her importance in his life. For her, he showed his tears to awaam and admitted that he has a dil...so unlike him... He does not have to stoop down to the level of Rukkiya or MA to make them feel small. In my opinion the best way to punish someone who loves you is by ignoring them ( always works with my husband😊) Jalal is clearly terrified of another rejection from Jodha . He is doing everything to see what exactly is in her heart and how ready she is to accept him. I am sure that a part of him thinks...what if Jodha did this because of her Rajput upbringing and not because of any affection for him. He hasn't voiced it but this is probably his biggest fear. His hesitancy to say that she did it because she has feelings for him clearly showed his state of mind. I hope Jodha doesnt do anything to prevent his wounded heart and ego from healing. This is politically not the right time for her to pick up a battle with Jalal, Rukkiya or MA. Her sacrifice will be a waste. I think, they both should stay away from distractions and work on strengthening their bond. Once that happens, Jodha will be a clear winner without raising a finger. Sometimes, some things are better left unsaid...Let MA and Rukkiya ponder why Jalal didnt say anything to them right away... Rukkiya may not, but MA will figure out... Because, he is focusing all his energy on Jodha right now...He will reprimand them but they are not that high on his priority list of 'things to do'... So this is how I saw things today ...Not sure if you agree.
