Human brain is so complicated. I will shed some light on one more aspect of what is going inside Jalal's head.
The kind of reaction Jodha brings out of Jalal is unique. He is used to being around people who are flawed and seems to be comfortable with he fact his relationships with them is nowhere close to perfect . I am sometimes surprised that he has very little expectations from people close to him.
Rukaiya is a 'friend' but is never around when he is in the dumps. He knows it and never seems to complain about it.
Salima a loyal friend and a guide...nothing more.
Hamida bano is a mother who was not around when he needed her the most but he seems to have forgiven her for that.
BB is an emotionally weak sister who can never be someone he can count on.
Badi Ammi ...he is not stupid...he never consults her over certain matters . He loves and trusts her but is not completely oblivious to her bias towards certain people.
Adham khan is a good for nothing foster brother who is a good fighting machine...nothing more.
But that is not the case with Jodha. He secretly wants a perfect relationship with her. She brings out the best and the worst in him. Most of us are surprised at his current state of mind and behavior.
He is clearly falling apart...why? Because she is not confiding in him? However, a few things are very clear...
1 . He knows that if she is hiding something but believes that there has be a very good reason for that...that is why the repeated concern for her safety.
2. He is sure that she is not back stabbing him or cheating on him. Someone else touching her bothers him but not to the extent of pulling out his sword right away and kill the man and/ or jodha.
3. Deep down he believes that she is not telling him the facts because she is afraid of him and his reaction. His jungle ka Sher is always alone because people are scared of him waala dialogue gives us the answer.
3. Despite badi ammi's best efforts, I think he still strongly suspects that the person she is meeting is most likely Sujamal.
4. He knows how she values relationships and breaks all rules to do the right thing...he couldn't stop her from going to BB when she was nazarband or even SD, the man she had every reason to hate, when there was a threat to Jalal's life
5. Deep down he knows that she is very attached to her brother and strongly believes that that her brother is not guilty of the two major crimes he was accused of ( Peeth ke peeche waar and attempt on Jalal's life... Attacking another army for land was something common in hose days...Haapened a lot in Rajputana and Jalal himself was doing the same thing... ).
6. The DEK scene, he did not question Aziza's love for Mazhar. Nor did he say anything to suggest that she was having an affair...To him, her crime was that she hid facts from Mazhar. That is why he did not punish her. She lost the man she loves ( though he said the opposite )...and that's her biggest punishment.
Now for someone who doesn't have a lot a expectations from his other loved ones ( they can be accused of bigger crimes), why is he so resless and almost falling apart for Jodha hiding something from him. For those familiar with the cause and effect theory in psychology will understand that the effect( he looks like a zombie) is disproportionate to the cause( she hid a fact and probably for a good reason). ...a normal reaction would be confront her and punish her . We are all wondering why he is not confronting her( will finally happen tomorrow but is delayed by a week) ...of course the fear that she'll MU him. But this and the extreme disappointment stem from another reason as well...subconsciously he has accepted her as his soulmate. For those of us who have been in love understand what a beautiful feeling it is to realize that you have found your soulmate. In the initial stages of this realization, there is an expectation that, this will be a perfect relationship...no fights, lies or hurt...complete trust and transparency...life gradually teaches you that this is not always the case. Soulmates fight too. But Jalal is still in that initial delicate stage when the smallest blow can completely shatter that beautiful feeling . That is what is happening with Jalal...he feels lost and the sense of loss is over the fact that he was wrong ...his relationship with Jodha is not perfect ...therefore, he does not have a soulmate...and will probably never will . That is earth shattering for him.
