Mandy, as a historical pointer to your post, there is a research paper on Abhay's thread about the power held by Mughal Women from the Royal Harem (link to paper can be found on Abhay's thread) which speaks of Salima and MUZ but there is no mention of Ruqaiyya - and the paper gives all the sources of research - This in itself gives an idea that historically also Ruqs did not share the same importance that Salima and MUZ had (paper also speaks of many of the other royal women from Babur to Aurangazeb times).

Coming to the Q - does Ruqs deserve a second chance - as of now Ruqs is getting her 3rd chance to show better behaviour - and I am not talking of behaviour to Jodha but behaviour in general - 1st was the hojra change issue when TE told her not to stoop to such levels - 2nd was when Benazir exposed her during the aborted wedding which TE has not pursued seriously yet (dont think he did not take note becoz he did) - 3rd is the murti kaand where once more Ruqs has been warned to maintain her dignity.

Along with all these chances, Ruqs has also been given many other chances too - to behave in a better way.

Coming to the issue of love - In the entire show, till now I have not seen any love or for that matter friendship from Ruqs - yes she did ask Jalal to give 10 days to the Ameris in the MC track and yes she did say that hers would be the first dua for Jalal's child, but both were done by her when Jodha was anti Jalal - Pls note I have said 'Jodha was anti Jalal' and not Jalal being anti Jodha becoz Ruqs always has known that Jalal had never been anti Jodha - Yes there was a time when Jalal hated Jodha from his core which is something that he has never shown to anyone else and extreme hate is actually nothing but extreme love and Ruqs had realised this discrepency in Jalal's behavior hence for Ruqs it was Jodha's anti Jalal stand which made her do both these acts of generosity - But unfortunately for Ruqs, Jalal's innate goodness acted as water does on stone and broke the shield that Jodha had built around herself and despite all odds, Jodha changed her stand towards Jalal - and it is this change that has pushed Ruqs over the brink becoz now there is nothing to hold Jalal and Jodha apart since Love has built the bridge between them - and there is nothing that can be the bridge for Ruqs and Jalal where there has never been any Love and even friendship was mainly maintained by Jalal and Ruqs knows that she never did build on the relation she had with Jalal.

One point i would like to share here...

DO NOT hold CV's for ''deliberately'' turning Ruqs as bad or grey.

Initially what we saw was a single tigeress, who was the ONLY SPECIAL ONE.

Now we have more than one. 😉

They are showing her changing and going through a transition phase. Real nature of a person evolves only IN testing times.

Btw, good discussion guys...!..

that's what I kinda have a problem with, why is only Jalal expected to sit Ruqs down and open up his heart to her??? Since Ruqs has always been confident about the fact that she is his bachpan ki friend and their dosti is precious why cant she go and sit Jalal down and ask him what the heck is going on with him?? the other day when Jalal was screaming at her face "kya khoneka darr hai aapko ki aapne aisi harkat ki" or something like that... instead of plotting and planning and basically going the Maham route why can't she get on Jalal's case??
Just bcoz Jalal is the more mature one in this relationship all responsibilities of the well being of it do not fall on him... this dude was seen holding on to his chest thinking its a chest pain coz he was happy when jo told him she does not ghrina him anymore, here maturity is only limited to being a shehenshah (aajkal woh bhi gaayab hai)
hmmm okay sorry but women can only love one man at a time and men can love many is something i just dont agree with. even men love one woman at a time its the lusting that they can do with a billion women at a time if they could 😆



lets see how cvz resolve the case of jalal's family..😆

Adi.

Thnx for these strong / concrete / correct views.

Only thing i know is CV's are not doing ANY injustice with Ruqayya Begum's portrayal. They are very much fine.

Infact now even we have certain evidences also. There is very less mention of Ruqayya compared to muz or salima begum. And if we dig deep then we get to know more reality.

The one paper you mentioned is a strong point which supports your and mine views.

Only thing is we need to accept the fact...!...

Cant write more from my cell..!..

Mandy, a very good post!! 👍🏼 and of course she should be given a second chance.
It is difficult for any woman to accept her husband's other wife/wives but as long as the 16th century is considered not only a queen but many ordinary women had to accept this! In an era where polygamy was accepted and practiced women were very much used to it compared to us, the women of 21st century. Though they must have felt jealous and insecure but these feelings and situation cannot be compared to the feelings of a woman of our society. They must be very much tolerant and these dosage were given to them since childhood. Remember what Bharmal said to Jodha on her Muh Dikhayi ? That it is common and normal that the man you would marry will have other wives besides you, it doesn't matter if he is Rajvanshi or Mughal. We generally do not see polygamy practiced in our family/society and hence if we cannot tolerate such thing if we come across to it ever.
Your are right! she must have been in a dilemma whether to treat him as friend or her husband. But I've seen many friends who get marry over the course of time and things does change between them but for their own good. There is a fine line between friendship and companionship, the latter is the pillar of any marriage and which seems to have absent in case of Ruq-Jalal relation. Companionship doesn't always means romance but a feeling of togetherness and being there for your partner no matter what. I'm there for you and you are there for me was what their marriage lacked and ultimately their friendship never turned into companionship. In such cases you really cannot blame one person.
Its true that Jalal had never those romantic feelings for Ruqu, sometimes we take our best friend or partner too much for granted that we forget to know what they really want from this relationship, from us. With increase in number of women in harem, Ruqu made herself a so strong that none could match her place in Jalal's life. She was so much confident back then because like Jalal she too was under the impression that he does not have a heart and he cannot really love any woman. Now by the time Jodha entered their lives and Jalal discovered his heart, Ruqu had her own place in Jalal's life, his heart. Jodha/Salima did not take over her but created their own place and at the same time Ruqu started losing her control and importance as the sole khas begum of Jalal. Now she should focus on him and her place in his heart rather than trying to sideline his other wives. She could not stop Jalal from marrying other women and she cannot stop him from falling in love then why waste your time in throwing Jodha out of harem instead of making it sure that her friendship is as invaluable to him as his love for Jodha is ?

@mandy, wht i feel about jalal talking to ruku about his feelings jodha, maybe he doesnt feel its the right time. he himself isnt aware of jodha's feelings, so if today he tells ruku evrything & if ruku questions jodha about it & if jo says no then he wont be able to tolerate. as we had already seen he fears rejection from jodha. but about jodha he had already told ruku once tht jodha is his new friend & also he had told her about the "dhakka" incident as well. so its not true tht he never opened up in front of ruku. but opening up about his love has 2 factors. 1st he fears rejection from jodha & knowing ruku, she will definitely ques jodha & 2ndly, he knows tht ruku wont accept it easily, so maybe he wants her to prepare for it in his "teda" methods. of course jalal is also not without any flaws, but he is also very young & still he also havent learnt fully to make balance b/w both. & besides the differences which r shown b/w jo & ruku in the show, is making him more confused. look its the 16th century where the priorities of the kings changed, so we cant expect jalal to be diff so soon. yes ruku was a spoilt brat & jalal had always given her priority. but tht time jalal was also a grey shaded person who never cared about other wives & even other wives were not like jodha who will try to maintain balance. so if its jalal's responsibility to maintain, ruku should also be try to maintain balance with other begums. as i had said she had full right to question jalal or lash at him, but getting physical with other begums is bit too much.

adi, very valid points, and as usual ur points have historical references as well! i felt sad when i saw ruq making attempts to please jalal and jalal was disinterested in her, that scene just stung me and being a woman i can relate to how a woman can feel when rejected by her husband for someone better than her!
