On Rajat weight gain, well in earlier episode, he is shown to be cruel and shrewd which was so visible from his face. Perhaps it may be deliberate to make him put on weight to soften that up as pe the story track of him rediscovering himself and becoming a better king. He can work to be a bit more fit that would suit as he is looking plumpy😆.

Paridhi has lost weight and is so thin now. But well the trend is for ultra slim actresses.

Exactly, San ( I think I am getting tired of saying this every time we chat on threads 🤣)

I loved the way Rajat flnches! So realistic! Nothing ott or dramatic about that in the least.

These subtle gestures & ideas are what have made JA NO. 1. It still stands miles away from any other show on TV & that is primarily because of the leads in particular RT's BRILLIANCE & the fantastic dialogue writers. Does anyone who is the writer??

WHY CAN THEY NOT UNDERSTAND THIS?! 😡

Sandhya, my poppet, by any chance are you in the running for the Cassandra stakes?😉

This Jai Jodha Devi drives me nuts sometimes aunty. All this while she herself was exasperating with her grina and bhaashans. Now that she has become so lovely, the CVs are exasperating us with 'Jodha beautiful', 'Jodha great' 'Jodha loves' cards.

I went back and re-read your paean to Jalal-Akbar, and that moved me almost to tears. Only almost, mind, but that too, for me, is quite something!

You should do standalone episode analysis posts, Sandhya. Then I can retire and just comment on your threads, and my wrist will heal in no time! Plus think of all the time, 6-7 hours a day, that I can devote to other pursuits!

Thanks aunty.😊. May be it appealed as I wrote what I honestly felt at heart. I have always admired Akbar and Jalal as portrayed here. But I am not sure that I can do justice to others. Btw, I can't do standalone posts as I have not validated my e-mail id yet neither am I inclined to unless the validation becomes an absolute necessity . If you think you can retire and just comment, then I will never validate or make standalone posts.😉

Shyamala Aunty

I wish this Ruqaiya as a character could have been portrayed more gracefully and handled sensitively instead of this run-of-the-mill vamp portrayal.

Since you mention history, Akbar would have never handed his favourite grandson Khurram whom he loved the most to Ruqaiya to be brought up by her if he had lost trust or affection for her. And not having a child Ash, is no proof of the relation having fallen apart.

But I agree with you fully that THIS screecher has to be put in place by Jalal. Wish he does that with grace.

***I agree Sandhya, like I said, she must have mended ways later and accepted it. She always mellows down once Jalal explains to her and she gets convinced, here what I am saying is, the acts of her can make him hurt and can be distanced and she would realise and try to make things better, but not necessarily that, Jalal would go back to his original self with her. And giving his grandson to her, doesn't have to be that, it is only because he had the same feelings, but he always had highest regard for her and she was/is his childhood friend, so for being childless or for many more reasons he could have given his grandchild.

And I am also not for Ruq being shown as screechy, but if you notice even in initial episodes, just to prove her point right and to put others down, she would go to any extent. Being royal doesn't make you good person, (her first meena bazaar, she wasn't good to others, she just wanted to prove that Jalal will come to her irrespective of what she sells or how she does it. And slapping another begum is not classy either, for her all it mattered was her status, Jalal's attention to her. If you are classy (I know that begum stole her jewellery). She is insecured and insecurity causes lot of issues.

And Ruq was always shown as good to Jalal only, but not with others. Not defending any character here, but she has her flaws and she can be negative as well at times when it comes to other woman in her husband's life.

She was very beautiful, yes. Most beautiful? Umm no. Am sure there were many more women esp for the Emperor of Hindustaan that out-shined even Jodha in their Beauty!!

The most beautiful Rajputana lady was Raani Padmini. And Sanyogita too. 😳

***I am just going by what history says, she was beautiful and if they are hyping it, how can we avoid it?? Now it is more difficult with JA reaching TOP 1 and Rani Padmini and Sanyogita are not her contemparies though😉

No I don't think so!! If you've followed the show since the beginning, Rajat gains & loses weight easily. Due to his foot injury he probably hasn't been able to devote time to excercising so it is just that.

Yes I have infact and seen some episodes online too😳. What I am saying is the weight gain might be a deliberate attempt by the JA team.

It doesn't really matter but this one time it was too noticeable. That clean cut ultra-handsomeness & these Brilliant Acting skills & his magnetic Presence, who looks anywhere else & at any-one else! Sometimes I forget that I need look at Jodha too! 🤣

Oh my you are a fangirl!😆

Just wanted to share that since I am not part of any fandom-be it Rajat or Paridhi. My comments wont be flattering at times but they would refer only to their part/action in the JA serial. I do hope that is fine😛 and don't hate me😳.

The most handsome Akbar ever has been Hrithik Roshan😆😆. If you catch the documentary made on Akbar, then you will hate Akbar instead of drooling😆😆

Seriously. 😕

Pari mentioned that she lost 8 kilos in an interview. Wonder why, she was so slim anyway!

Aajkal ka trend hai ultra slim

But the camera is un-forgivable so it is for the best I reckon.
