Take 5: Top 5 moments from Feb 7 th

Another beautiful episode today ... I love the clear evolution in the Akdha relationship. They had a conversation after such a long time and what was more beautiful than what was said was what was unsaid. It seems the CVs are repeating similar Akdha scenes from before- while this may be because the CVs are not creative but these parallel scenes clearly show the evolution of the Akdha relationship. 😊

1. Our teda Jalal is still alive: as many of us sat in fear that we would see a mushy Jalal, guilty and apologizing, but instead he pushed Jodha to admit why she saved his life. I am sooo glad she did not answer with kartavya and chinta and asked him to guess. And he said, because we have a place in your heart. And she didn't object. Parallel this with Sukanya's mehndi where he also asked, kahin aapko hamse mohabhat hai? when she didn't want to punish him and she immediately objected. Our Jodha has definitely made progress.

2. Jodha was so cute in her jealousy for Ben- she brought it up repeatedly. Just as Jalal wanted her to admit that she saved him out of love, she wanted him to admit that he never liked Ben. Both of them know the truth, but want to hear it from the other. In her heart she knows he never found her beautiful and I feel that is why she did not let him take a false sar ki kasam. And they very rarely show what Jodha thinks and it is great that this time they showed how she was yearning to hear she was more beautiful.

3. Aag dono taraf lagi hain: While I thought it would Jalal who would be behind Jodha, today showed that Jodha was not far behind at all. In order to make Jalal stay with her longer she said she wanted to go outside and asked as a pati couldn't he take her. Another reason I liked this was that she was asserting her rights as a wife even after Ruqs told her she could have anything except Jalal. The earlier Jodha would have backed off and said have a nice night.

4. An awkward silence: what a beautiful fire scene where nothing was said but so much was said through the eyes of Jodha and Jalal. Jalal understood that Jodha was cold and brought the fire and shawl. She expressed her happiness and gratitude through her eyes. And in case the viewer missed it, we has a thrilled Hamida Bano comment in their closeness. For now I like this awkwardness- there are hints of misunderstanding still left- she thinks he was attracted to Ben and he thinks she likes him but does not want to accept him courtesy the shove. It is to be seen how the CVs overcome this awkwardness- either through a clearing of the letter MU or otherwise.

5. Precap: an over eager Jodha wanting to visit the dargah with Jalal. Parallel this with when she was chosen to go to Ajmer- she wasn't really keen on going with Jalal and now she can't wait. Is she waiting to be in the same tent again? 😉

In both cases, Ruqs wanted to go in her place- I truly hope she doesn't go again.

One thing- whenever MA speaks out her plans out loud to Resham it is never successful. I somehow feel Jalal will throw a googly and somehow manage Ruqs.

Now, we can spend the weekend guessing who Jalal will go to the dargah with ... It better be Jodha!

Thanks!
