Guys, sorry for the delay ... Was having server issues and could not get into India-forums. Today was an odd episode ... And I felt š Coming out of it. I felt I was back to watching an episode from the Ben track ... When I didn't know how Jalal was going to react to anything. All I will say is ...this is still better than the Ben track.
Not much for the top 5 ... But thought I would try to keep the positivity going.
(1) Salima: I love how Salima stood up against Ruqs today, It was fantastic. I was noting yesterday that Ruks had lost her belief in love/heart based on her on life experience with Jalal. Loved it when Salima said that as she kept saying Jalal had no heart, she had hardened her own heart. š I felt exactly the same yesterday ... Ruqs had lost her heart somewhere along the way and was clinging to the only thing she had, her audha.
(2) Continuing comfort level of Akdha: I love it when Jodha gives Jalal a head massage. It is one of the only typical husband - wife things they do though they do it a lot š
(3) Jalal pushing Jodha to stand up to be harem lead: You could see how Jalal was using his teda ways to push Jodha to be harem lead and his guess that from tomorrow she will be very busy shows that he knows she will win. I always like Jalal's tedapan so that is why it made the list. On one hand, I wondered why he would want Jodha to be busy with the harem instead of spending time with him š But then perhaps he wants Jodha to learn how to assert her rights against Ruqs both as a begum as well as his wife- meaning asserting her rights over him as she is still uncomfortable doing so.
(4) The Ruqs-Jalal scene: I know a lot of people were upset about the hand-holding- here is a slightly different take as I thought about it for a while, As a friend, Jalal owed her a visit. He also wants to teach her a lesson through this experience, I hope. However, here is my take in the hand-holding: Ruqs held her hand up that her challenger (referring to Jodha) will not last 5 days ... He held her hand down to show that her challenge will be defeated. I think in some ways he is trying to see if she will wake up and smell the roses but she continues to be adamantly arrogant so Jalal wants her to learn from her fall this time.
(5) Yeah, we are finally going to get a Maha-episode tomorrow ... Though I hate the topic, ME are always the most dramatic topics and the TRP driving audiences love drama. Loved Salima's smile when Jodha said she is willing to stand for the harem lead position in the precap. I wish Salima had stood for the position.
With that, I am going to sign off with my top 5. What did you guys think of the episode- you can use this post for venting, don't worry!
