Divya there are some proverbs that come to mind in connection to our Jodha Ranisa - one of them is 'Too little, Too late' and another I have reworded here 'Faith delayed is Love denied'.

Adia, not fair! Okay my hindi typing is horrible but there are other proverbs to remember/

"Dher aaye dhurust aaye"

"Shaam ko jab bhoola waapas aajaye to use bhoola nahin kehte"

Love is a journey not a destination

I thought you would cheer for the apology ... She did not give any excuses for her hurt, etc. This was the mature conversation you always wanted.

Ab kya hua? 😊

Okay guys, now you must think this girl is crazy ... One day she says its my last take 5, then she creates a weekly thread, and then she is back with a daily thread! 😉

But, I am actually back to keep my word: I had promised a few folks that I would create a take 5 dedicated to Jodha the day she apologizes for her mistake. I hope the people I promised this come back as they promised to comment to! 😆

So, it will be quick but here is my take 5:

(1) Ek maafi ki keemat tum kya jaano Jodha Begum: Loved it ! Loved it ! Loved it! The way Jodha first asked Jalal how many whips should she give ... I now think the CVs are using how Jodha reacts as suspense ... It used to be Jalal. Love how she said:

- She made the first mistake

- You said what you did based on what you saw ... But I hid the truth and did not let the truth come out to you

- I also failed to let my ego fall when I saw you begging for forgiveness

Do I dare say that the CVs have again been trolling some threads in the forum! 😉

I respect Jodha so much today! This is the Jodha I love and she is back! 👏

(2) I came back for you Shehenshah! : And on top of the apology, she beautifully made it clear that she came back for him ... The Man ... The Shehenshah with the heart ... Not Shivani and not the pilgrimage tax. 👏

And to the relief of us viewers ... She dropped the words like Kartavya out of her vocabulary. 😆

I think somewhere my theory that she had forgotten the "Shehenshah with the heart" and remembered her first "Heartless Shehenshah" image after his outburst was true! Hence, with Shivani and the tax, she realized the "Shehenshah with the heart" was not a mirage ... But real and the heart she loved truly existed!

I also think earlier the CVs used to use Jalal's feelings and reactions as a surprise ... Now they are using Jodha for the same. I used to call Jalal the wild card of the track ... But it is now Jodha.

(3) Jodha accepting Jalal's embrace: Loved the whole scene ... How it started with Jalal blowing Jodha's eyes ... Then the hand hold, to Jalal pulling Jodha towards him to hug her ... And Jodha finally shedding all her shyness and accepting his embrace fully! The "touch me not" days are officially over! 😳

I am not the expert at describing romantic scenes so over to everyone else! And please if you have any issues with it, remember it is their first hug!

(4) Jodha's smiles of happiness as Rahim tells her that Jalal used to pray and tend to the tulsi plant the same way as she used to ... She seemed thrilled and happy! 😃 And looked beautiful too with her open, wet hair, and minimal make-up look!

Lovely to see Rahim back as our cupid!

Seeing her with open, wet hair, I already knew we would at least get a repeat of the aarti scene and guess what, we got an upgrade... See next:

(5) Loved the precap scene: See the progress from the first Aarti scene to this one ... Jodha looked gorgeous as ever and Jalal at his charming best but note the progress ...

- Jodha's awkwardness replaced by shyness

- The progress from the hand to face touching! 😳

What's next for this jodi? Keep calm kanna, keep calm its Pepsi IPL time. Today was just the teaser, they still need to show a lot of trailers and promos, before the main picture!

A quick note on Ruqs ... You can be mad as you want about Ruqs but she is part of the story and if this is the way the CVs want to drag through IPL, so be it. If it is important for Jodha to get over her awkwardness with Ruqs, so be it.

But, please, please do not be mad at Jalal for the following reasons:

- He does not know all the bad things Ruqs thinks and conspires about Jodha - right now he knows two things: the murti khaand which was relatively minor issue to win elections ...

- The bigger issue is the Sujamal issue ... However, because he feels to blame for listening to Maham Anga ... How can he punish Ruqs for that?

- He has been friends with Ruqs for a long time ... She has stood by him the past, he will not let her go for two mistakes ... She will unfortunately need to make more.

- Also, he will make excuses that he has siyasat work only for Ruqs not for Jodha 😉

- When he gives Jodha a forehead kiss you will notice the difference! 😳

And if that does not calm you down, just remember that Ruqs saved Jodha's life during the MC track twice:

- By nodding her head to give more time for Jodha and her bros before

- By holding the sword when Jalal was about to kill Jodha

For those two good things, try to bear with her though she has worsened since! Isn't amazing how folks change once they view you as competition.

And I think today it was finally proven that Maham Anga did not have a baby in her hand ... It was something precious to the guy that she burned. As if you remember Maham Anga anymore after everything else you saw today! 😆

So, what are your thoughts on the episode?
