They don't know about Shehnaaz dear that's why. But, Jodha saw what happened. Nobody will be spared from bhashans today. I already pity Jallu.😆

Adham Khan should be smart enough to know not to mess with Jodha's people.

Jodha will register another complaint against AK

God help Jalal ;)

I hope he's not in a romantic mood when she marches into his hojra. She might scare the daylights out of him then. By the way going by the situation, it looks like Ruqaiyya's tabiyat is ok. But, both looked very skeptical when bandhi told about Ruq's health y'day. 😆

Sometimes it is the little moments in life that are special... And today's episode was exactly that ... It was about the tiny moments between Jodha and Jalal that brought a smile to my face ...

divya so true..in that large picture it is the small moments that create an impact..those few stolen moments ...

I don't have a musical take 5 but today's episode brought to life the little, beautiful moments between a husband and wife ... Which reminded me of an old B&W song "Meri Jaan , Mujhe Jaa Na Kaho Meri Jaan" ... Immortalized by Geeta Dutt. Check it out: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=F6FkVPOMtvM

beautiful song

I also found the ironies of today's episode interesting so will highlight those too.

So here is my take 5 with the small moments of life along with the ironies I observed:

(1) Loved how Jalal came looking for Jodha (as expected) and immediately perceived Jodha's tears ... And asked her about it or else I am sure Jodha would have hidden it from him

Irony #1: Ruqaiyya had to do so much to win Jalal's attention and concern- her pregnancy, her not feeling well etc. , Jodha just had to shed a tear ... Poor Ruqs , no wonder she felt like trying so hard!

exactly things have changed so much ...ruqaiyya who boasted of ruling jalal and having him wait on her today has to use tricks just to get this attention ...inspite of throwing the pregnancy news on him expecting him to stay by her bedside...she still sees him stealing those precious few moments to be with his jodha...

(2) I am glad Jodha told him that Ruqaiyya wanted her to take care of her ... He didn't need any more details, he understood this was an insult to Jodha and hurt her ... And was ready to talk to Ruqaiyya but was stopped by Jodha.

Irony #2: The same Jodha who Ruqaiyya wanted to make smaller by touching her feet, became bigger in Jalal's eyes through this incident ...

... Also, the same Jalal who is often accused of supporting Ruqs over Jodha was ready to confront a pregnant Ruqs about Jodha's insult

it is such a major change from the last time ruqaiyya got pregnant..that jodha wanted nothing to do with anything remotely related to jalal but it was just got the child and the mother..and today the same girl whose aan baan shaan takes precedence is ready to wait on ruqaiyya coz she is carrying jalal's child...love works in such amazing ways!!!

not only jalal even i was deeply moved by her words...it was indeed overwhelming and so was that lone drop of tear from his eyes...

ruqaiyya measures people by how much she can demean and humiliate them and that is her victory unable to see that her victory is her loss and jodha won without even winning...that one moment was such a sharp contrast between the two..and jalal cannot help but wonder time and again ...

and we saw him hurt coz she was hurt...he was annoyed and it did not matter at that moment that she was carrying his child..he would talk to her...awww...

(3) It was a great detail ... But loved how Jalal was about to leave ... But then turns back, knowing that Jodha needed some assurance of his love and his support from him. Again he used Jodha's favorite Krishna analogy to remind her of how she was always his Radha ... Ending with my favorite forehead and hand kiss which looked more natural than ever before

Irony #3: While Ruqaiyya had to gloat to herself that Jalal loves her, Jodha had Jalal to tell her everyday ... And Jodha didn't even have to ask

he does not even need to say ...his every action,expression ,need to be with her ,searching for her ,a smile on his face thinking about her...it says volume..i loved how he reminded her of the krishna analogy ...it was so sweet..he knows and he assures her...

and the tender kisses and touches have becoome staple between them now..they are so at ease with each other...

(4) How smartly Jalal stole away from Ruqaiyya to go to Jodha and asked her not to forget him and spend time with him as well ... Loved Jodha's shy smile in response

Irony #4: Ruqaiyya was witness to the very closeness of Jodha and Jalal that she did not want to happen ... And she could do nothing to stop it.

if she stops meddling between them she wil lbe saving herself from such embarassing situations...

her biggest bewakoofi has been and still is that she thinks whenever jalal shouts at jodha or is furious at her it has to do with her and when he elevates her before jodha it has to do with her...she fails to see everything has only to do with jodha...any woman would be alarmed when your husband spends a lot of time with reference to another woman be it anger or hate or words...and all jalal ever speaks about is jodha beghum jodha beghum..how does she not get it...even in ben track she failed to see how deeply he was effected instead she was busy simply listening to what he had to say...even MH could decipher jalal was in love

the more she tries to keep them away the more she will see them being pulled towards each other..it is not infatuation or attraction..they have gone beyond those emotions...long back

the girl has lost her reasoning and thinking together

(5) What a beautiful magic little world Jodha-Jalal were in: Loved how Jalal was resting his head on Jodha's lap and Jodha was caressing Jalal's hair ... You can see a clear difference from the prior tel maalish scenes ...

Irony #5: How happy Jodha-Jalal were despite all of Ruqaiyya's scheming while Ruqaiyya was fuming away with her hukka wondering what they were doing and how to stop them.

ruqayya's kahin woh dono phir se was hilarious...gosh she is so obsessed with them 😆😆..and that is what he wants those tender moments with her...even if just to look at her...loved how he was lying so at ease in her lap and she was playing with his hair...awww..there was a time he had to blackmail her to even touch him 😆

Update: And the biggest irony of them all ... Life is about these small, special things and all Ruqaiyya sees is power and being Begum-e-khaas

she lost herself in this hunger for power,need to win,dirty politics...she never had a childhood ..she became a wife then and later a keeper of her husband's many women...for all her pride and arrogance there is a deeply scared woman and ruqaiyya is trying hard to suppress her ,trying to convince herself that with power she can do anything ,win jalal back too..he will come back like he always does...she keeps on repeating it for it gives her assurance where nothing else does...she is seeing him slipping away from her and her blinded jealosy would give the final push when he would go away ...for the first time maybe she is hurting him to avoid her own hurt...and when she realizes that it will break her...

no wife wants to be just friend...and inspite of what she keeps on saying she always wanted hat jodha has...but scared to voice it out afraid it may drive him away coz he never beleived in love or a heart...she did not have the large heart in her to challenge him and awaken that heart in her...she was happy in the comfort of being his BEK...near him ...the 9 yr old girl with her playmate...she did not want to let go ..and she still holds tight ...but he has gone away leaving behind the memories of childhood...he is a man now seeking change ,companionship,love ,life ,,,he does not wan to be lonely anymore...he wants to be loved and taken care of selflessly ...how could he not fall for jodha...destiny strikes hard sometimes...it will be heartbreaking when that day comes ,when she loses everything but to rise she has to fall and fall hard

Would love your thoughts on my take and the episode!

beautiful post..thanks a lot
