Maan Singh had 60 wives! More than the Emperor himself!! 😲

Pratap had I think nearly 20 wives, out of which a very few were his chief wives who he was most attached to.

His father, Udai Singh, had 20 wives. Only 3 were his chief wives who he was most attached to , esp the 3rd who he was obsessively in love with!

All of them had many wives, for political alliances or to show their richness. Even the affluent people had a few, like Zamindaars, nobility or rich merchants.

@Mandy: Yes 😆 but what's surprising is that I see people from the US , UK, Australia & even S Africa religiously follow JA! Amazing. 😃

All of them also would have to juggle between and conpromise between their wives . Try to appease them in turns sometimes. Even a little unfairly at times. (But jalal has never been unfair till now ) But oh! Not jalal. He is supposed to kick out every other wife now that he has found his amar prem.

He is not supposed to have even told ruqaiya that he would be happy if she joins the queer aam aadmi yatra.

🤣 I want to see people juggle 2 crazy women like Jo & Ruq and THEN TALK!

It's HILARIOUS, seriously.

I am so glad that Jalal doesn't throw Ruq out until she does something that absolutely kills her in his eyes. Which IS going to happen. I've just accepted it.

Am sure they did compromise & favour one over the other but made up for it. Jalal is always the first to make up anyway, and Jo sees that. She sees today his deep loyalty & it is this that has made him also, fall in love with Jalal.

She respects all his relationships & wives, even Ruq who is a eprfect beast to her at times & is always, very nasty without provocation. Which is why Jodha moves away to give them alone time by quietly excusing herself, it her un-spoken & sometimes, un-needed sensitivity that Jalal admires, amongst her host of other hunars! ( by the way, this is her real hunar, I would say! 😳)

I would've thought very less of Jalal if he didn't wish Ruq warmly even though he was very obviously dis-pleased to see her. Or if he was not as fair to her as he is to Jo or anybody else.

It is far sadder for someone to forsake a loving ,intimate friendship for something new than, than to rejoice if he snubs her or worse, throws her out for something new.

But I personally want him to talk to ruqaiya firmly and iron things out like the way he did earlier - jo is also my friend and you better accomodate.
