I am very happy today (Most of you will probably guess why- hint:TM 😉) ... Thank you all for having patience with my venting yesterday. Who else will I vent to? And, I love you guys. 🤗It is so good to get things out of your system and I watched today's episode with fresh eyes.

I know many are still upset on Jodha still stuck in his accusations on her character and how could he doubt her ... Especially given her role in the whole ordeal. When Jodha took a long time to get over her ghrina and realize she had feelings "rising" for him ... So why do we expect Jodha to get over this hurt any sooner? Till she gets over the hurt and shock she is not going to admit her mistake. Practically speaking, CVs are not going to speed things up during IPL. I am not agreeing with her behavior but if she sounds like a broken record (courtesy Raksha) with her hurt, why should we sound like a broken record on why we are unhappy with her? 😊

And if the issue is how Jodha can care and forgive everyone else but not Jalal, Shraddha / Lashy once explained it beautifully, "Jalal is the most selfless when it comes to Jodha and Jodha the most selfish when it comes to Jalal." Jodha has always had the highest expectations and bar from day 1 ... And Jalal has always worked extra hard to surpass those bars.

So, with that, I go to my Take 5:

(1) Todarmal arrives in Agra: I am so excited that Todarmal has arrived in Agra and loved the warmth and happiness on Jalal's face when he arrived as well as the hug. I always wanted to have male buddies around Jalal who he could depend on and I am glad Todarmal has arrived. I loved the courage Todarmal showed in setting the conditions Todarmal and also the fact that it would provide him autonomy to drive change.⭐️

Also, a big cheer, that Jalal brought Todarmal on his own thinking! 👏And about Jalal wanting people who put bitter truths in front of him around him, well no wonder we fan girls always lose out to Jodha 😆

(2) Shehnaz bani love guru: I continue to like Shehnaaz in how she continues to force Jodha to face the truth ... That she is hurt after hurting Jalal and has refused his love. I like her the most for recognizing Jalal's love and understanding of love seeing him only a few minutes. 👏

I don't know if Shehnaaz is positive or negative in the long run, but for the moment I love her.

I wonder who is the love she is lost ... Could it have something to do with Maham Anga's bonding?!?

(3) Jodha-Jalal BOTH think of each other: Looks like Paridhi is back from vacation as she had more scenes today. Today, I liked the parallel scenes of Jalal and Jodha thinking of each other during the Badal-Kajri scenes ... First, it showed an emotional connect that they were thinking of the same thing (yes, I am a hopeless romantic at heart who happens to also like logic 😳) and second, we are so used to Jalal thinking about Jodha much more than the reverse ... Today, I finally saw a return of balance on how they were thinking about each other equally.

I love how Jodha got swayed by her emotions and got all excited about Jalal attacking the dakkus ... Till Daadi awoke her to the reality that she was missing Jalal. Daadi, you should try reverse psychology next time like Mainavati? 😉

(4) Javeda-Maham Anga: In many ways, this was a filler scene. But, I loved it for one thing- the unconditional love and concern Javeda has for Maham Anga. When one loses power and stature, there are very few that stand by you ... And Javeda proved to be one of those people. I don't know why- but somewhere it touched me. And maybe I am an emotional fool but it was a touching moment. And, it is when you are in trouble, you realize who love you unconditionally.

(5) Jalal's humility: Jalal's humility continues to touch me ... He appreciates what he has learned from everyone , whether it is Bairam Khan, Maham Anga, or Jodha Begum. He had great qualities already but his biggest one his willingness to learn from others and give credit to others. He was always religiously tolerant, as he agreed to Jodha's sharts or went to the Kali Maa Mandir with her, but he still gave that credit to Jodha for influencing him further on this front.

While Jodha is credited in the serial to come up with many of his reforms, it has been Jalal who has taken her idea and given it a broader vision and actually implemented it. What is an idea, if it is not put into action. And Jalal is that action! He chose to listen, he chose to investigate, and he chose to enact it ... And hats off to him for that! 👏

I will wait for the precap to come before I comment on it but I am pretty sure it is a flashback. I am not sure when it happened because Jalal already questioned the tax when he was punished for it as Badal. Once again, let's see how it plays out. Can we please save worrying about that to tomorrow? 😆

So, what were your thoughts on the episode? Also, would welcome thoughts on how we should start the Todarmal fan club!

The best part of the episode, Todarmal is in Agra:). His interactions with Jalal was very good.

Good to see that Jalal s thinking about sultanate.

Jodha- she is still stuck in her samman and still thinks that, Jalal cannot understand love. She is surprised, how he could forgive Shivani and think from his heart.😡

Divya, why blame cv's, when it comes to Jodha??😆

Javeda and MA's scene was cute.

Divi,

I loved today's episode. Here's why,

1. Todarmal's here. And his interactions with Jallu, both of them were, direct yet not rude. I used to feel Jodha is a shuddh Hindi shabdavali, but, TM beat her today. Thankfully, he doesn't sound like a Hindi pundit on ekadashi.

2. Jalaal looks at the moon, we look at Jalaal. He looked really good in that scene.

3. Salima proved why birds of a feather flock together. When she said, humein jam ka shauk nahi hai, I thought Jodha had come back.

4. Story-telling. Both related the same incident of Badal-Kajri track, but, while Jalaal focused on Todarmal, Jodha focused on her Shahenshah. Today I realized she's living in denial. Denial of her love for him. She's thinking of all possible reasons to deny her love. First it was her own ghrina, now it's the insult, while she knows, she is equally responsible for her condition, and she's using his accusations as a reason to stay away from him. What is she afraid of?

5. MA-Javeda. It was heartening to see MA finally acknowledge Javeda. Many people say, sometimes the most innocent of people are the kind-hearted ones. I saw that in Javeda. I didn't like that they had taken off her baandhis. Rhino you!

6. Jallu got a new jama! The peach one is definitely new.

7. Jodha finally changed from her yellow dress. Thank you!

8. We might see Jalaal back in commoner's avatar. I don't know exactly why I am happy about this, because the past few outings as a commoner had Jodha with him, but, well this time... Shame on you CVs for copying movie like this.

A few observations and assumptions,

1. Atgah has got another post. Interpreter. After TM's shudh Hindi finance lecture, Atgah looked at Jallu face that looked like someone had told him, Jodha Beghum has dil, and graced him with an Urdu summary to save his little boy from a heart attack.

2. Jallu looked really tired in the first DEK scene.

3. Ok Jallu, understood, you didn't like TM boring a hole in your theory of awaam being blissful, but, why that constipated look?

4. Make-up artist should clearly change Paridhi's mascara brand. The irritation on her face and constant blinking mean nothing else.

5. I feel, its Shehnaaz's hubby/man and baby that have been abducted by MA. Don't know why, just a gut feeling. Let's see. Predicting caveman's identity has become my time-pass as of now.

6. I feel the precap scene is Jalaal's imagination, not a FB. Reason? It's coloured normally and not sepia-tinted.

Awesome lines by Shraddha!

Found this on interenet today, and thought it apt for the current situation

Great post! 👍🏼

DIvya nice post as usual especially this line of yours "yes, I am a hopeless romantic at heart who happens to also like logic"😉. Searching logic in JOJA.

I liked the two hugs today in serial between jalal and todarmal and tehr between Maham and Javeda.
Actor who plays todarmal is very well suited for the role . Presence of him in a scene making it soother. I used to feel this with Salima scenes and now he is also in list. LOved the entire welcoming scene. Jalal going near him hugging him and his expression seeing him in court 👏. As Badal Kajri trip is so far the most beautiful interaction of AKdha loved the scnee when both are talking about it with some good olden flashback scene😉. I especially loved Jo's excitement telling about Jalal warrior skills.

Maham Javeda scene is also good , really felt good and Maham's hug , I also somehow liked that scene very much.

Overall a very good episode today.

lovely post. Knew it TM would make it into your number one. I too loved today's Episode. Finally everyone got to know what was bothering Jodha. It is the trust. When you love wholeheartedly some one and when that breaks it takes time to mend. Hopefully we will see her soon in Agra. I just want my Akdha back together. May be we might have to wait till next week.

Precap is definitely Jalals imagination. I was so happy with no Ruks and Mamanga yelling..phew...

Shehanaaz has something to do with the man in the cave. lets see ...

What do I say Divya?!?!?! The best part was TM entering DEK - and the smile on TE's face was something we had not seen in a long long time - and yes Jalal did seem tired in the first DEK scene.

As for Jodha - I am not going to spk about her till I am happy with her - which seems may either never happen or if it does seems to be far far away as of now!!!!

And there is a beautiful qoute on love by Van Gogh that fits Jalal to the T -

Since the beginning of this love I have known that unless I gave myself up to it entirely, without any restriction, with all my heart, there was no chance for me whatever, and even so my chance is slight. But what is it to me whether my chance is slight or great? I mean, must I consider this when I love? No, no reckoning; one loves because one loves. Then we keep our heads clear, and do not cloud our minds, not do we hide our feelings, nor smother the fire and light, but simply say: Thank God, I love.

a good episode.😊

I loved Jalal-Salima and Jodha-Dadisa scene.

Jalal, how much he loves Jodha! he sees her in everything and everywhere..chand mein Jodha Begum, baato mein Jodha Begum, har jagah, har chiz mein Jodha Begum..❤️look how he started talking about Todarmal and ended up talking about Jodha! this is what love does to one...his world revolves around her..he just cannot get over her..I am glad he is no more a sad lover but a hopeful one.

Salima was very graceful and dignified here.😊

on the other side, loved Jodha's praises for her Shehenshah..she got carried away and that smile on her lips, pride on her face said it all..!! Dadisa hit her which she was hiding from everywhere..Jodha too misses him a lot, yearns for him, cries for him but in alone..yes, she might is stuck at "hum par sandeha kaise kiya" but at least she cleared the thing..it was never ego, pride or anger but he doubted on her character and that she is not able to forget.

Jodha is fighting a battle with herself..when Shivani news reached to Amer, she was immensely happy and proud of her Jalal..but to satisfy her "zid" she is trying to ignore his acchaiya, she is trying not to think of him, remember him and trying hard to find excuses not to run to him, but failing miserably...today I understood this when she told Shehnaz how can Jalal forgive Shivani-Tej when he himself cant understand love? it was like an excuse..u can easily make out from her expression..she very well knows Jalal understands love and loves her too much.

She is at her peak..from now on hopefully she will forget the accusation and will run to Agra, to her Jalal.❤️

I loved Shehenaz today..I really dont want her to turn negative.

Divi, to my utter surprise I cried in MA-Javeda scene..😭 it touched me to that extent..MA hopefully will value her bewakuf but loyal daughter in law..pyaar ki zuban kaun nahi samajhta?

CVs r dragging this separation track for IPL..butchering Jodha's character and showing unnecessary scenes to fill the episodes..I fear they will drag it till 3 weeks as IPL will end then...it means Jodha will stuck to "guroor" till IPL ends. tauba tauba!!!

Todarmal, how honest he is! atey hi dhamaka kardiya!! totally loved him..better u start r fanclub..he is amazing!😳

precap: another flashback no doubt!💔

P.S. Jalal is amazing Divi..he never forgets to credit others and praise them..he is too nice.

EDIT: ok according to spoilers, Jodha will be back by next week after Jalal abolishes pilgrim taxes...but they will confess after IPL I think.

Will you join the fan club if we started one?

Good to see that Jalal s thinking about sultanate.

I should Have put that in my top 5- gosh, I actually had options today 😆

Jodha- she is still stuck in her samman and still thinks that, Jalal cannot understand love. She is surprised, how he could forgive Shivani and think from his heart.😡

Remember the Jodha- after the tiger attack- barges in and asks him what his intentions were in arranging Sukanya's wedding? This is the same Jodha. The one who hesitated to thank him when he gave up his fort and still said he likes to grab things. This is the same Jodha. She is not perfect. We survived then, we will survive now.

Divya, why blame cv's, when it comes to Jodha??😆

You have two options: Jodha is a slow learner when it comes to Jalal or Blame CVs for dragging during IPL- your pick

Javeda and MA's scene was cute.

It was indeed!
