Harem politics and relationships! Are both at stake or none?

Well I tried to be positive but ended up being practical. I wanted to be positive but then I realized I wouldn't be able to speak my heart out if I try to be positive. I just wanted to vent it out. So here it goes.

Even if your intentions are good but believe me when I say this, that when you drag relationships to a place or to a situation where they are not meant to be, it does not serve good to anyone involved in that. According to me, Jodha's motive was good when she approached Jalal and Salima and asked them to vote in favour of Ruqaiya, but this good motive was for a wrong person and a wrong situation. If this reason of Jalal and Salima voting for Ruqaiya ever came to forefront(in case it ever happens) in near future, then Jodha will definitely be blasted off by Ruqaiya because she is not the kind of person who will ever be able to realize that it was her noble thought and not a way to put her down. She will definitely think that Jodha wanted to prove her superciliousness and make her feel inferior and a person of less importance than her. Now who will explain our extra mahaan aatma that Ruqaiya is an airhead. I feel Jodha knows this but her greatness is overshadowing the reality. Its good to be good but not too good enough to be taken in a bad way and along a wrong direction . Doing good to others is not bad, but sometimes it goes the wrong way, something that is not meant to happen.

Further more, I think Jodha was the person who had said that Ruqaiya's arrogance had to be broken and she had even realized that the harem needed her, there were things that needed to be changed about the harem and so she decided to stand against her. But then what was this? Its like you are standing in an election and expecting to win and change things but then you are found promoting your opponent, though not infront of everyone but to some; may be to some, numbers really don't matter but what matters is that its against the true spirit of being part of an election, a democratic election I should say where people have got the voting rights and they can vote according to their wish. Now how much right was it on Jodha's part to influence someone else's views? She should have understood that political and personal opinions can never be brought together. Sometimes decisions go wrong that way. But what surprised me the most is that Jalal and Salima did not make any serious attempt to explain her that she was wrong. Jalal is a just emperor. Right? Ok you love Jodha and her opinions matter a lot to you. But first you are Shahenshah! How could you agree with her on something like this when you were the one who planned this democratic election? So what should I say? Is it justness redifined? Salima Begum is so worldly wise. Not only that, but she has good knowledge of politics too. I've always agreed to each and every word of wisdom she has preached. She has always been straightforward, precise, to the point in her conversations. But why was she silent this time? Why?(Janta jawaab chahti hai😆)This is the reason, for why the election part was no less of a joke for me.

Now amidst harem politics, we have two relationships at stake, one is of Jalal and Ruqaiya(its in the process of getting ruined) and second one is of Salima and Ruqaiya(actually this relationship is somewhat ruined now). Salima and Jalal wanted to vote for Jodha but they voted for Ruqaiya. Now for a moment forget that Ruqaiya is Ruqaiya; I mean her nature.(because unless you do that you can't feel for her, I know its impossible but do it once). Won't she feel bad and cheated?( I am least interested to sympathize with her but then anyone would feel bad.). She may not mind Jodha doing this because she hates her but she'll definitely feel bad if she comes to know about what Jalal did. I would have been satisfied as a viewer(specifically me) if they had shown Jalal and Salima taking the right decision and Ruqaiya realizing her worth. Now there's nothing good which has happened with either Jalal, Salima, Ruqaiya or Jodha.

I'm hopeless about Bakshi Bano and I don't expect anything from her. She is a victim of her own foolish mind. Fault lies on her own side and she is blaming the other side. Actually there's nothing more I can predict other than her and Jodha's changing equation in future due to Sharifuddin. So here we have another relationship on its way to get ruined. In this case a relationship has affected election results(part of harem politics).

Well, now I've nothing more to say. What I expect is some sensible way to handle situations .And I can only hope for the same. Ab to creatives hi bachaye.

I am of the different opinion here. Once again listen to what Jodha says to Jalal carefully . She says it may not affect ruquaiyya if she wins or loses the election, but it will affect her friendship with you that is there from so many years. What she is trying to tell jalal here is she may be the one whom he loves, but love cannot blossom on the grave of other relationships which are existing for many no of years. Every relationship is important. Even the boat incident when she says she would have been hurt if in place of ruq ,she also mentions to jalal that it is also your duty to spend time with all your begums because they deserve being your wives.

Respect your opinion, but i disagree !!! 😊

Jodha as shown in the show is inherently a person who even though is always seen fighting for the right she is also someone who would never want to hurt someone to do that right.

As far as her going to Jalal and Salima requesting them to vote for Ruqs is concerned thats just her way of trying to make sure that their relationship with Ruqs is not ruined coz she knows Ruqs would be heart broken and get nuttier if these people were to openly support Jodha. She does not know that Jalal knows that it was Ruqs who did the Murti kaand, she does not know that Jalal has very less respect left for Ruqs and she does not know that the RuqLal relationship is in a very perilous place right now. She also does not know about the blowout that Ruqs and Salima had before the elections.

So her going and asking these 2 to vote for Ruqs is something that I respect.

Didn't she say something along the lines of "Sambandho ki dor bohot nazuk hoti hai shehenshah" to Jalal once, isnt she just standing by it???

Wasn't she also seen being practical by voting for herself when asked for her vote??? If she was in her mahaan devi mode without any worry for the slaves everyone knows she would have voted for Ruqs, thats how she is.

So practicality is all well and good but expecting the same from a person who is always seen making decisions with her heart would not be very logical now would it 😊

Dear frankly speaking, I am more upset with Jalal and Salima than Jodha. If not Jodha, I can expect them to be practical atleast. Jodha being Jodha did this but Jalal being an emperor first and Salima being such a sensible person should have clarified things and made her explain that it was not right on her part to influence someone else's votes. I have already mentioned in the post that she is that extra mahaan type aatma who can never be practical. But again I'll say that her good intentions were for a wrong person and a wrong situation. Even I respect her for approaching Jalal and Salima but I just feel had the situation been different, had it not been for purpose of elections, I would have taken it in other way round. But even I respect your opinion. So no worries! But then if she had ever realized that the harem needed her and she wanted to bring the very much needed changes by winning the elections, then one question came to my mind that was she so sure that without the votes of Salima and Jalal she would have won?
