Beautiful post divi..So, let me go directly to the top 5 of the day- there was so much to choose from. 😊
The boat ride was simply amazing. Thankfully, Ruqs did not interrupt the boat ride nor waited for them in the banks- we got at least some peace before the Ruqs bomb hit. I am going to split the boat ride into two distinct parts that I liked:
(1) The level of understanding and sync between Jodha and Jalal; of specific mention:
- The mutual hesitation and awkwardness to start the conversation
- How they both asked simultaneously on why the other was not saying anything- they are so in sync
- Jalal's knowing look when he said that filhaal tho the sword loves me the most; he must know all to well that soon it will be Jodha 😉
- Jodha's pain / emotional bonding when he heard of his hard life more amidst enemies - she almost had to shake herself out or it
yeah both were feeling awkward n hesitate to start the convo...
its indeed painful when he said people love me coz of this sword..indirectly he did convey people around me loves me coz of my power n sword n this made me to get curses from my enemies..yeah i cud see the pain n jo's eyes..at the same time when he said now he is having four eyes mentioned its indirectly jo..she is his now..he completely trust her..remember hamida said one day u il find someone whr u cud sleep peacefully n thr lap with out any fear n worries..so jalal found his soulmate...(2) Maturity of how Jalal-Jodha discussed the MU of who invited who: Compared to all the times they have misunderstood each other, I love how they actually had a conversation to resolve the MU on who invited who. I thought it was illegal for two serial leads to have a logical conversation! 😆
Yeah..i thought for a moment they il again fight..but no jalal has changed now n so jodha too... he knows that his ameri mirchi is also tedi..but when jo told him clearly he understood its someones plan...loved thr understanding..
Initially, Jalal tried to dismiss it as usual confusions of women and remembered that Night (though there was no pain now when referring to it 😊) ... But I am glad that Jodha persisted in saying she did not invite him. Jalal finally understood she was telling the truth and guesses somebody did this to get them to be together (love Jodha's blush here)... I am glad they had this conversation now so Jalal was well-equipped to defend Jodha when Ruqs came barging in
(3) How Jalal handled Ruqs; there were a few components that made me stand up and clap:
Yes loved it..he was least bothered about rukku's kitpit all time he was looking at jo..sharam karo dusron ke samne bhi jo ko hi dekta rehta hain...
- Jalal was upset to see Ruqs drag Jodha into the room
disagree with u dear...More than upset he was shocked n angry the she treated his lady love..
- Jalal was very calm in dealing with Ruqs and did not distrust Jodha for a moment
Yeah he understood jo was saying r8 ..she didnt invite him... n he was dealing with rukku n a very calm way but dear he trusts jo now completely..but to clarify things to rukku n jo whr the misunderstanding happened he called shahbuddin..i just loved the way shabuddin replied to rukku.how awam n imp people think that jo is very khas not just khas..very khas ... superb another chata mara rukku ke ghal main...
- He did not let Ruqs raise her voice against Shahbuddhin
Yes loved it..the way he interfered n made rukku to shut her mouth..but shabuddin's expressions were awesome when ruku was jumping on him said when i am khas y did u take jo's name..he understood biwi yo ke beech kamasan jhung..he n jalal understood how jo is polite n decent n rukku is fighting for her audha...but dear for a sec i felt bad for rukku when she was crying whole n8...but i thgt i was wrong..coz she was not bothered about it..she feels that jo is becoming khas than her..so is scared her audha is n danger...
- Clearly told her it was not a galti but a galat faimi
- But, last but not the least, she told her off for being to high-handed to come to invite him and instead sent the invite as a Begum-e-khaas 👏
yeah today jalal also made rukku to understand that not only she even jo is khaas...
Finally, Jalal is not just giving the "lollipop treatment" as Tamy called it.
Yes..he was least bothered to look at rukku n he didnt take it seriously...all time he was looking at jo n he did realise that she is hurt with rukku's behaviour...but soon rukku's game is going to end...she is going to fall badly n jalal's eyes...
Okay one regret- why couldn't Shahbuddin add to his case that even MA thought it was Jodha Begum. Ah well. Compared to the rest of the courtiers, he seemed quite sharp and made a clear tight case on why he assumed it was Jodha Begum. About time Jalal had some adept people in the court. 😆
Yeah..coz he m8 hv thought may be maham also misundertsood like him or he knows maham's importance n jallu's life so he took the blame on him..but i really liked the reasons which he pointed out y he thgt jo is jallu's khas...
Phew, with that one regret behind me, let me go to the best part of the episode- the Akdha scene. Loved how Jalal held back Jodha seeing her hurt to clarify his perspective, and the following two components made it to the top 5:
yeah thats my fav part...kitna haq se use rok liya aur uska hath pakda..now he no's jo wont feel bad if he holds her or stops her infact she likes likes it..how he stopped her n spoke to her not to feel bad coz mistake is not urs...n when jo replied to him about prem he was shocked with sudden confession of jo ..he was shocked first n happy..anyone cud see how happy he was..he now no's jo loves him.. jo too realised that what blunder she made n she felt shy for a min n she took leave from him n b4 leaving the way she turned back..made me remember DDLJ palat scene..such main these two are too gud...aag laga dete hain...
(4) Jodha said that if she was interrupted in her time with the Shehenshah she would not be worried about her audha but that her prem was disrespected. Wow, what an indirect and beautiful way for her to admit her prem to him. It was beautifully done.😳
Yeah superb scene yar...jalal's expressions were worth to watch .. wen she said its indeed painful for a wife to c her husband with his other wifes...n she il feel bad coz her love for him was insulted not any title or audha..superb scene..over all superb scene..both rajat n pari nailed it
I think it also hinted at why she was afraid to admit her love- she is afraid it would be split among so many ranis and she would not be able to handle it.
yeah..dear jodha expect love from her husband..thats what stopping her ... when she il get to no jalal loves her madly then she il break all barriers...she is from 16th century...she accepts that he is surrounded by many women n his life... but she wants a relationship like radha krishna..like krishna jalal ke zindagi main bhi bohot sare gopiyan hain..par jodha jalal ke zindagi main radha ban na chahti hain..jab tak sansar hain humesha krishna ke naam ke age radha juda jata hain aur jab bhi prem ka naam leti to radha krishna ke naam liye jate..vaise hi zindagi jodha chahti hain...humesha jodha akbar ke kaha jata hain..450 saal ke baad bhi jodha akbar ke prem kahani yad karte...jalal ko pata chal chuka hain..jodha is his soul mate...jo is yet to realise that she is jalal's soul mate..n jallu is her soul mate...jab tak snasar main log bhagwan krishna ko yad karte hain to sath hi radha ko aur unki prem kahani ko bhi yad karte hain..vaise hi akbar ke bare main jo bhi soche jodha ko bhi yaad karte hain..aur unki prem kahani ko bhi radha krishan aur jodha akbar ki prem kahani sab yaad karenge jab tak is sansar hain...
(5) Special recognition for the smile on Jalal's face in the end: how can you not fall in love with that smile 😃... He had heard what he had never heard from any life that their prem would be hurt if he was with others... And Jodha looking back at him afraid of what she had just confessed. Rajat, your smile rocks!
agreed...So, what a beautiful ending on Jalal's smiling face of an episode where we were expecting a MU again. Hence, we should not worry about a MU till it actually happens- we have been trained to assume the worst 😆
agreed...
Honorable mention: dignity of Jodha when Ruqs accused her- especially asking her to let go of her hand and she can walk on her own. 👏
yes jo was polite n maintained her dignity..rukku was behaving as if she is from slum area not like a queen
So, from the precap, it looks like Jodha will get another halo of helping a someone unite with their love and go against Ruqs leading to our maha-episode battle between the two begums. I am not sure if this also has to do with the Tata sky spoiler of atrocities to slaves.
yeah..jalal will supp jo...maham n rukku will be shocked infact hamida n others too..coz kal tak no dil ka funda bolta ta aaj love marriage ko supp karega...kal ghamasan jhung hogi...hamida n salima others will be happy except maham n rukku..
My guess on the ME: Jodha will win the BEK crown but give it to Ruqs saying she wants to be a patni not a BEK. Then, what will our dear Ruqs do? She probably will say in her usual delusional way, even Jodha Begum knew she could not handle it or she didn't realize the value of being a BEK. 😆
i hope this time she accepts the challenge coz to teach a lesson to rukku...but i think at the end after she wins she il give it back the title saying she is not interested n audha...coz for her aufha is not important... just wanted people to no that takat aur audha aata jata hain...its not permanent..relationship is imp..power is not permanenet but pyar n relationship matters...pyar badne se badta hain..aur daulat baatne se kum hojate hain...
agar aisa hoga to main saatve aasman main udne lagungi...aur jalal to aur pyar main padjayega...jo ka deewana banjayega..
So, what did you love about today's episode? Or should I say, what could you have possibly not loved? 😉
