Excellent post, Divya. Some of us r not able to relate to Jodha bcos the CVs have been highly inconsistent with her characterisation . Even in the past, though we saw her ghrina phase & then later on her mellowing down towards Jalal, even then we were shown very less of Jodha s introspection & what her thoughts were . Only a couple of introspective scenes of Jodha has been shown in total & not many voiceovers either or selftalks for her.
On the other hand, though Jalal s character has been butchered badly since Tasneem track, atleast they ve shown us by his actions & words of his mindset, so many of us can relate to Jalal, though being women viewers.
Want to feel the same for Jodha too. That last letter to Jalal from a hurt Jodha was such a big letdown for us, especially as Jodha herself had confessed to her part in the current MU but then contradicting herself in the letter by first writing that she doesn't blame Jalal but at the same time saying he didnt trust her nor could he understand her silence etc etc.
Do the CVs want us viewers also to read Jodha s eyes & mind to better understand her just as they made Jodha write the same to Jalal in her farewell letter . Not fair, CVs , neither to Jalal nor to us viewers ðŸ˜
