Radhika, I love that you have written such a long and detailed post and all your points are wonderfully valid. You have done a terrific analysis from many angles, and it was a super read. See I just want to add a point extra to what you have written.

No matter how much trust is broken on both sides, one of the great qualities of love is that it helps to heal wounds. So I am the eternal optimist who believes that even if trust is broken, love can help recover the situation.

In fact, if you think about it, where there is no love even trust is superficial,. But especially when two people are in love they become hypersensitive to this issue of trust because they have such high expectations of the other person. See how much Jalal is suffering because of her perceived mistrust ... would he feel this bad if he was not in love with her. And see from her letter how much she feels about his mistrust. Would she feel so strongly if there was no love from her side.

Just put Ruq in the place of Jodha and see if Jalal would have felt so shattered if Ruq was seen mingling with another man. Jalal's ego would have been bruised for sure if his wife was cheating on him, but he would have asked her outright "Why are you doing this?" he would not waited and waited and waited for her to come of her own and tell him all! His expectations of Jodha are so different from his expectations of Ruq just because there is this extra element of love at play that makes him think "If I ask her it will look like I am suspicious, if she tells me of her own it will be a sign that she cares about what I think!".

I believe in the healing power of love. If they are both genuinely in love, all they have to do when they finally find each other is to look into each other's eyes and see that they have both missed each other so much that past suspicions, past perceived betrayals and past grievances have no foothold. It will all dissolve because love is a greater and all-healing force in this world. All it will take is an " I'm sorry," and "I love you" to make everything all right!

Yes Mansi dear,

I agree with you!

But, Most of the literature works on Akbar says he is an illiterate , not interested in learning...His dyslexia was a retrograde diagnosis.

Its a common royal practise on those days where letter will be read out to king unless it is very confidential!

In this case, I felt its more of a confidentiality issue than anything else!

(Mansi dont spoil my dream😭😭😭...Honey, I m eagerly waiting for the scene where jodha will write jallu's name/I LUV U in urdu & jallu revealing the fact that he cant read/write & Jodha reading it loud for him...followed by sensational romantic scenes😳😳😳...)

Harry,

Jalal was dyslexic. He could not read or write because of this syndrome, but he was very learned and had an awesome memory for detail. That explains why he needs letters in Hindi or even Urdu read out to him.
