Hi Mansi,I have been a silent reader of your thread and enjoying it immensely. You are brilliant in your observation.
First the scene that caught my heart and made me sigh yesterday, is when Jalal was looking everywhere cutely when Jodha caught him drying her hair. That was so adorable for a Shehshah, kind of smilar to a young lover caught staring at his love and blushing all the way when he was caught.
I would like to share my two cents here, I see jealousy in two ways. One that out of love that hurts, you are jealous because the person that you love is loving someone else, you don't matter to him, it's more of heart and emotion. This jealousy is not the destructive kind, this jealously sometime drives one to sacrifice and withdraw so that the person you love can be happy, because his happiness matters the most.
The other one, the destructive kind which I don't prefer to call it jealousy but more of a feeling of fear and insecurity. Fear of losing the control that you have on the other person, fear of losing the power you have been holding all the while. Fear of this new person taking control and the possibility of being rejected or outcast. Like the one among the siblings, as you explained brilliantly. What Ruqaiyya fears most is losing the control/position of being the most important person in his life, someone who he listen to the most, losing the only person you have in life - a childlike fear than one of a lover/wife.
Your theory behind Jalal's actions, that actually are instigating Ruqaiya is commendable. I feel Jalal wants Ruqaiya to realize soon that there is some sort of bond between him and Jodha, and as his best friend he wants her to adjust because he knows Ruqaiyya's obsession of Audha and etc and he knows her reaction/tantrum is not out of love. So the sooner she understands Jalal and Jodha's new equation the better for her.
Ruqaiyya is reacting that is evident from pre cap, and I think her reactions and tantrums are going to elevate Jodha and degrade herself. Actually, I don't applaud this technic used by CVs to elevate Jodha's image, one can shine without emphasizing on another character's flaw or by degrading the other character. Anyway, in a way Ruqaiyya is giving away so many things on her own because of her rage, she is pushing Jalal more towards Jodha. Like what MA said, Jodha is beggining to capture Jalal, and Ruqaiya can't actually do anything about it.
There were also many foreshadowing dialogues past few episodes;
1. MA's predicting Ruqaiyya losing Jalal to Jodha - which can be seen soon.
2. Jalal's persistent in not forgiving BB/Sharif for defaming Jodha - so if Ruqaiyya does something similar to Jodha, can we expect the unforgiving Shehshah here?
3. Many think Jodha's dialogue yesterday about Jalal's high sense of justice even to those he cares/loves is about next MU - that maybe Jalal will punish Jodha though now he has feelings towards her. But what if it is about Ruqaiyya?
Now, what will happen if Jodha handles the harem way better than Ruqaiyya? What would be the reaction of the people of Agra and Jalal? Or if Jodha's messes up because Ruqaiyya's trick and ploy, and Jalal still stand strong beside her, what will happen to Ruqaiyya now? Will she finally understand that the equation is changing? Or will it be like what HB said - something big and dangerous to happen that would change Jalal and Ruqaiyya's equation all together?
