Good analysis Mansi.

But for some reason not in a mood to comment.

Neither the show is going in a good direction (all illogical stuff - with Ma having supersonic laser eyes and rest all dumb)

And to add, Pari quitting.

I used to watch devon ki Dev.. Mahadev regularly. But after Parvati (dont know her name) I stopped watching no matter how much I used to like it. The new actress wasn't up to mark and doesn't suit the role (sorry no offence, its just my POV)

So if Pari quits, not sure who will be next Jodha and if we all will like her or not.

Precap - its another googly

Its either Jalal's imagination/dream

Or if its true one more dhakka

And time for Jodha to pack up for Jungle.

Else Ruq will come there and take Jalal with her.

Friends, yesterday's episode was not bad. In fact in parts it was good. After the frightful episode of Tuesday, I feel anything better than that would have looked good to us.

Yes, Mansi, it was good in that we could watch it without squirming in our seats 😆 One more episode passed without insults for Jodha - that makes me happy so far!

Part of the good feel came from the fact that Paridhi herself has issued an interview to the Hindustan Times confirming that while there were some issues, she is not quitting the serial. And later in the night, there was also news that she had resumed shooting after a small boycott, so since things are now quieter on the news front we can all focus on the story of the episode yesterday.

And going by the rumours, if there are going to be romantic scenes between Jalal and Jodha, it would be good to have Paridhi around because she has great chemistry with Rajat onscreen. 😳

The first day of Sujamal at work ... challenges and the discovery of a crucial painting!

Sujamal's first day at work was already very productive, as per yesterday's episode.

Jalal should take Sujamal into his service - the latter is more productive and efficient than all of Jalal's men put together and can give MA stiff competition in terms of alertness and reading people's faces/minds 😆 Why didn't Sujamal teach Jodha even a bit of his perceptiveness?

Having thus endured Sharif's idiocy Sujamal later had to go with Bakshi to the Diwan-e-Khas, where Jalal was holding court. Bakshi introduced her new Khwaja Sera to her mother Hamida, and meanwhile as Jodha came there, Sujamal's eyes filed with sentiment for his sister. He seemed happy to see Jodha smiling away and talking to Bakshi and Hamida. Meanwhile Maham started enjoying the whole scene a lot. Here was Jodha sitting in the front, and her brother just diagonally behind her, while Jalal was expected to arrive any moment. The curious thing is that while Maham had instantly recognised Sujamal, neither did Jodha nor Mansingh recognise him!

Maybe because MA was aware that an impostor had entered the palace and she put 2 and 2 together and verified her facts to be able to identify Sujamal. Jodha and Man Singh are both portrayed as dumb as far as awareness of the world around them is concerned.

But this exchange of cool distance was not lost on Sujamal. He noticed keenly that there was some friction happening between husband and wife.

If BB also noticed this, she didn't comment on it to Jodha. I didn't like the way she behaved so distantly with Jodha in both the DEK and the bedroom. Jodha should stop wasting her time on this ungrateful wretch.

Her Khwaja Sera was all attention for her, giving her first aid with Jodha's lep and tying a bandage and also scolding her because in her condition she was not allowed to eat supari.

A friendship blooming here? What will SD's reaction be if he knew he had left his wife in the care of a guy? 😉

Dilawar was just about to move the trays of medicine and supari to a nearby table when the covers of a painting nearby slipped off and revealed that it was a freshly painted portrait of Jodha! Imagine Sujamal's surprise at this, but even worse was Bakshi's surprise.

Why is BB surprised? Doesn't she know what is there in her room? And then such a big painting kept so openly? I had thought Sujamal won't find any painting because BB had got the 1st one sent to Jodha. But either SD got the 1st one back somehow or got a 2nd one made.

Phew, what a first day at work for Sujamal. Life at the palace was interesting, to say the least!

Maybe Sujamal will also find the Jodha paigam to Jalal. In between solving all other problems in Jodha's life, like saving her husband's life and protecting her from SD's lechery, Sujamal may also resolve the dhakka issue for her and bring JJ closer before he dies. Just resolving the dhakka issue will make him an angel in Jalal's eyes and result in Jalal negotiating on his behalf with Bharmal 😆

Jalal-Jodha play hide and seek with each other - but at night he goes to Jodha not Ruq?

Ruq crowed over the fact that now both the harem and Jalal were hers.

I just don't want her to taunt Jodha about this.

Maham decided to add spice to Ruq's life. She said "Jalal is in a lot of trouble personally, you know. It's not political trouble, its trouble with Jodha. He's in love and suffering a lot in consequence of it." Ruq promptly said "But he has no dil to employ in love", to which Maham cryptically said "Oh yes, he is using his dil alone a lot these days!"

MA has finally started instigating Ruq against Jodha in the present track. I just hope Ruq doesn't prevail on Jalal to reveal his troubles with Jodha.

Now with all these preparations at Ruq's room, and the way Jalal brushed aside Jodha in the previous episode showing that he wanted to spend the night with Ruq, the precap was the unexpected part of yesterday's episode.

Jodha was at the very end of the episode standing first at her room's balcony thinking "The Shahenshah can have any woman in this harem, that is his prerogative, but why am I feeling so bad to imagine that?" Flashes of old visions of conversations with him came to her mind.

Not just any conversation - but the "prem" conversation. She is finally admitting to herself that she loves Jalal and can't bear to see him with another woman. Jalal ignoring her always pushes Jodha faster down the love alley 😉

In the precap itself, Jalal seemed to be slightly drunk as he came into Jodha's room instead of going to Ruq. Jodha was fast asleep. Jalal at first started caressing Jodha's feet standing at the foot of her bed. She withdrew her feet into her blanket. Jalal then went round the bed and lay down beside Jodha, their faces almost touching. His eyes were partially hooded and filled with unbridled passion. The camera played delightfully on his lips and then on her lips as if to suggest what was on his mind! Tantalisingly the precap ended there.

Lovely precap - much required after all the anger on the forum over the letdown in Tuesday's episode regarding Jalal's blowout.

If it's Jalal's imagination, I would be happy just to know that he can't replace Jodha with Ruq, try as he might. If it's Jodha's dream, I would be happy that she is finally getting passionate about Jalal. From dream to reality is but a short step. If it's for real, that would be heavenly. I hope Jalal gets that kiss before Jodha wakes up and screams/pushes him/runs away. May be if she rejects him again, he may get angry enough to ask her to go away. (From his POV, if she can get cosy with a stranger, she can get intimate with her husband too!) But just suppose, if after that balcony scene, Jodha gets excited to see Jalal has come to her, she may just pull him closer and give him that kiss. That would shock all the drink out of Jalal, for sure 😆

So better to think it was someone's imagination and then find it was a true scene, rather than the other way round!

My comments on the episode as a whole:

It was more of a "getting to know things around the palace" for Sujamal ... and a way for the Creatives to show us that though Jalal is trying to stay aloof from Jodha he is unable to sustain it as his mind is returning to passionate thoughts of her! I just wish things would move faster to the point where Jodha leaves for the jungle and then the real remorse of Jalal and the hunt to get her back can start.

If Jalal is already so passionate about Jodha, even as he is upset with her, imagine how passionate he will get when he discovers her in the jungle after hunting for her in desperation. 😳 When a man is very angry with a woman he loves, he sometimes likes to take out that anger through physical passion and Jalal seems to be no exception. Only poor thing is tied by his "zubaan" and can do nothing more than "niharofy" her.

Or was it a sanket that Jalal didn't quite believe Maham's spy who said Sujamal had fled?

Jalal still believes that Sujamal is in town and is the guy Jodha is meeting. That's why he is getting upset not about the guy she is meeting but about her secrecy.

Just one more point in passing - it was lovely to see the brotherly love of Jalal for Bakshi juxtaposed against the brotherly love of Sujamal for Jodha.

The difference is that Sujamal is lucky to have a sister who loves him equally and is willing to take on the emperor and his sultanate for her brother's sake. But Jalal is sheer unlucky to have a sister like BB who has no love or gratitude in her bones.

Accha, so now we wait to see two things in the next episode:

a. Will Sujamal go to Jodha's room to return the painting and will he announce himself to her? Will Jodha know that Sujamal is now in the palace? How will she react to his presence? Will Jodha now become ultra-scared and even more cagey with Jalal, so that Jalal gets even more infuriated?

May happen!

And how will she react to this painting of hers in Sharif's room? Will she wonder why there are two identical paintings of her? Will Sujamal and Jodha get to discuss why Sharif is doing painting after painting of Jodha?

b. Will Jalal wake up from his dream of being in Jodha's bed (if it is a dream) and thus depress all of us that it was just his imagination? Or will he really find himself there in the morning - much to Jodha's consternation and the wrath of Ruq and Maham?

Mansi, what if the whole thing is MA's nightmare? 😆 Another worst case scenario is that MA sets up Jalal again with Jodha and sends him in a drunk state to her room in the middle of the night. She may instigate him saying he had a greater "haq" on his wife than the stranger she was meeting. This way, MA can ensure more friction between Jalal and Jodha and also more friction in the Jalal-Jodha-Ruq triangle.

How will Jalal rationalise this desire in himself for physical relations with Jodha at a time when he is loathing her for lying? Does it show the conflicting forces in his mind - passion and disgust at the same time?

Will he acknowledge he is itching to unleash his physical passion with her? Will he be angry with himself for allowing such thoughts into his head for a "liar", and will he therefore scream at Jodha (rather than at himself) causing her to run away to the jungle?

Or will he feel even more acutely distressed that he is beyond redemption on the "love front" such that keeping Jodha away from him is getting harder and harder? So will Jalal think "If she's here in Agra I will not be able to control myself. Better to be very angry with her for lying and send her back to Amer where she cannot disturb my every night with dreams of her?" And will Jalal thus lie to himself and summon up his anger to banish Jodha just to be able to stay in control of his passions?

People in love - specially unrequited love - do the strangest things to pretend they are not in love and to get control over their secret longings. Who knows, Jalal may feel the need to banish Jodha from his vicinity just to save himself from going out of control physically with her?

Loved this whole speculation of Jalal's physical longing for Jodha ultimately making him send her away. This way, neither would lose our sympathy and when they meet again, there would be fireworks! And neither would have to mistrust each other again because trust hadn't been a factor at all in their separation.

Dear Mansi,

Every time we predict something..something else happens..but I loved your predictions on the pre-cap.. just tood good... Lets see how they play it..

But CVS I tell you... How can Jodha not recognize Sujamal.. or at least find some resemblance with Sujamal at least??? She is so close to her brother .. How can she be so dumb..unbelievable... Shariif also realizes that there is resemblance but not Jodha???

I am happy that Pari is back ... I don't know about your sources but completely trust you..If you say so.. with so much conviction then..its got to be true..thanks dear for giving a grt news... Lets all think positive ..All is well..All is well...
