Yes so true but there are way too better ways for trps. Wish they cud set a new trend, wht they are showing is just ghisa pita triangle where the third angle is vamp. Everythime Ruqs became positive they unnecesarily made her negative. Ruqs started being in good terms with jodha so many times like after miscarriage track, Jodha saving ruqs- Jalal marriage track and even recent Benazir track but always they swap her character from positive to negative instantly which is sick...Jalal Ruqs had different chemistry which they can not show now bcos even the ppl have started hating Ruqs very much. And as for trps ppl sure are tired of just Ruqaiya's jealousy track. There cud have been logical misunderstandings shown between Ruqs and Jodha, truthful healthy competition but no they just show negetivity. There have been so many negetive tracks back to back now😕

When Shivaani eloped hell was raised that it was a blotch on her character. But that was nothing when compared to what is being done to Ruqaiya. There is no Sena to stand up for Ruqaiya, you see.
Also it might have been mentioned in Ekta Kapoor's special Akbarnama that Akbar gave Ruqaiya talaq.

The serial has lost its touch of class and is a routine soap with the actors in royal costumes. They cannot handle things grey and complicated. They have to blacken everyone else to brighten the heroine

But it was not unexpected either. Right when jalal said that 'yeh zindagi sirf aapki hai' when jodha was fighting between life and death we could guess what was coming. This is only the beginning. They will make ruqs fall till jalal loses all his bachi kuchi respect and cuts her off completely.

Jalal asked Ruqaiya what she feared losing. Didn't it ever occur to him that it was himself? What kind of a friend husband and shahenshah of 10 years is he if he cannot understand her insecurities regarding him? It is he who has changed and caused her to change too.

Jalal claims to know even the moorthi maker. But he was ignorant of ben and now he doesn't have anyone follow shariffu. Even after knowing that shariffu received info in prison and conveyed to jodha he doesn't question how or how his prison is infiltered.

If your best friend gets a new best friend, you are bound to feel really bad initially. Everybody is possessive of their besties. Only time will make you more accepting of the new close relation in your friend's life. And it might take ages for you to accept it or you might never will.

Ruq is stuck in the same place. Unfortunately for her, she doesn't cutely phulao her face like Jodha and sulk in her room. Ruqaiya was the star of the harem before Jo's arrival. The higher up you are, the lower you fall.

The harem has two stars. Jo is oblivious of it and Ruq is very much aware of this. And this disturbs her a lot. So like any threatened star, she has started throwing ugly tantrums and playing distasteful games to keep her position intact, forgetting her real self in the process.

Ruq deserves her insecurity. After being Jalal's one-and-only begum for many years, she has a competitor for his affections. She is still coming to terms with it. This is all new for her.

Jalal has not given Jo Ruq's place. Ruq is falling down in her own spot that she occupied in Jalal's heart. She is not being replaced. If you have seen earlier JA episodes, their interactions were very best-friendy and they quarreled like siblings. Jalal's interactions with Jo are much more tender and loving. They fight like lovers with healthy doses of flirting thrown in. Doesn't this show Jo has made a new place for herself? It is only Ruq and MA who think that Jo is replacing Ruqaiya. Period.

Since Ruqaiya believes Jalal doesn't have a heart, she doesn't know how big his heart is. It has place enough for both his begums.

See the ur title ans simply is "so that we can enjoy jodha akbar without sympathizing with rukaiyya " In todaay's epi wen he was rebuking her , he cuts her shortly by saying "jhoot jhoot keh rahi hai aap ap mujhe kavi nai samjhi apane hame naahi dost naahi shauhar naahi shehenshah maana! He has been controlling himself since long but water has gone atop it ! he has to rein her unbridled power as BEK .
OUR creatives cud be more creatives by showing a matured rukaiiya but alas they distorted history like anything .

From first she was the only Khass begum.And we all know that she was thinking ki Jalal par usse jyada haq kisika nahi hai.
And suddenly Jodha jaisee ladki jo na sirf raaj gharane se hai Lekin sanskaro ki pakki aur aadarshwadi bhi hai.

And now Jodha's good qualities are conquaring all the begum's love and even jalal's too.

So it is natural from Ruku's side

I am an ardent Jodha Akbar fan but quite dipressed with the cvs for the way they are trying to potray. Today i want to discuss Begam Ruqaiya. In the beginning i tottaly loved Ruqaiya's character classy, confident and Jalal's best friend who understood him completely and the actress who was the first Ruqaiya had so much personality and was such a perfect fair character who was least concerned with whom Jalal will spend his time and at the same time be the perfect host of harem with dignity. That was kinda relatable to the original Ruqaiya.

I missed the few episodes after that and thn suddenly new Ruqaiya was brought with tottaly changed character. I loved Lavina too as Ruqaiya but the cvs are hell bent in ruining her character. Why are they trying to show Ruqaiya as possessive insecure begam? Cant there be place for Ruqaiya and Jodha in Jalal's life? because in history both were his favourite begums and Ruqaiya and Akbar's relation did not change even after Jodha arrived in his life.
Its weird they are showing that Jodha is slowly and steadily taking Ruqaiya's place. Why should she take Ruqaiya's place she should be making her own place. Its evident Jodha's character is made to look good showing Ruqaiya bad, now thats so sick. Now ppl in the harem are going against Ruqaiya just to show they are with Jodha. And even Jalal's character is being ruined. Ruqaiya is his childhood friend but nowadays its quite clear he is shown giving cold shoulder to her and does not care for her as much he did earlier. Cvs are not showing proper love story and bringing in unneccesary insecure Ruqaiya track. It should not happen that Jalal should go away from Ruqaiya to be with Jodha. It wud be so amazing if they cud show scenes like Ruqaiya teasing Jalal whn he is falling for Jodha as a best friend.

Ruqaiya shown earlier was so smart, positive and knew MahaManga's tactics and most importantly knew Jalal and wud not get affected by anyone but now it has become such an irritating dumb character. Cvs shud not use Jodha Akbar and other historic names if they cant even show decent similarity. I loved Ruqaiya's character back in the start and even sometimes now when she is shown decent and proper but i feel for her now as Jalal is basically ignoring her. Its basically a Jodha Akbar love story so if cvs cant justify Ruqaiya's character they shud not even show her like done in the movie. Ruqaiya was said to be the most gentle lady in Akbar's palace but they are showing tottaly opposite.

I loved Ruqaiya and if they wanna show her, i want Cvs to show her real character they showed in the start and it wud be so amazing two strong ladies Jodha and Ruqaiya deal with Jalal differently and positively without showing each other down..

totally agree with you!!! a person can love more than one person at a time..bt he might nt love both equally, wil one more other less..it doesnt mean he cant love both..since it is islamic story..thats wat muslims believe!! anyways this my first post after long tyme..i lost my password

Is the REEL Ruqaiya being shown negative all of a sudden or was she always like this but more secure with her place in Jalal's life n the harem? was she confident in the beginning bcoz she held a special place in Jallu's life being his childhood best friend and his BEK which no begum present then could even begin to touch before Jodha showed up?? Ruqs constantly saying that Jallu has no heart tells me time and again that she never understood him completely.

Ruqs is suddenly insecure n possessive coz now there is someone in Jallu's life that is starting to make or has already made a much bigger and more special place for herself in Jalal's life. One cannot compare the place a best friend holds in a persons life to that of ones love or soul mate as AkDha are shown to be in the show.
I guess once Ruqs faces the fact that Jallu does have a heart and Jodha got it beating and also stops listening to MA, she will stop being the insecure and egoistic woman she is now.
As far as the repeated mention of the original Ruqaiya and Ruqlal history is concerned kindly refer to the disclaimer
Thanks 😊


That is so true. It could also be that the Ruq initially shown was a facade and what we are seeing right now, is the real Ruqaiya. Afterall a person's true character is only revealed in testing times.

Abhay

Why so much sarcasm? Even books mention Ruqaiya as a chief begum always and even fables and stories (even Akbar Birbal) mention of Akbar being completely at ease and fond of Ruqaiya.

When Mirza Hakim whom all history books claim was a thorn in Akbar's life is portrayed good naturally we think ruqaiya is portrayed evil for the sake of drama.

I completely agree with you that in history nothing can be accepted till written in an authentic source and nothing can be claimed false till it is again specifically stated so. It was one of your statements in your initial threads that I loved a lot.

Could you please tell us how the real ruqaiya was . Was she this cheap and akbar forgave her just because she was his friend and cousin? While I have always believed in hk and her importance in Akbar's life , and personally find it depressing at history having omitted her, I certainly don't believe (as usual) that every other wife was scum ( other than salima). Do correct me if I am wrong.

Again coming to the serial I am still stuck to the smiley version that impressed me a lot. She was an interesting grey character. She was quite royal charming and totally incapable of such cheap behavior as lavina does. The see saw of characters is irksome. But when the leads have been subjected to worse extremes this is again to be expected. 😕
