I simply think the basic difference was two things
1) During Maham's kaand Jodha was not there.. and Jodha herself seems to think Maham's crimes were worse (the blasting she gave MA after she returned)
Had Jodha not been here to stop Jalal, Ruqs would have suffered a similar fate too
Very true that Jodha was not there to stop Jalal on MA ... But I do not believe the outcome for MA should have been any different- her crime could have gotten Jodha killed and did get many Mughal soldiers killed by Sujamal; so she failed in her official post as a well
I can't imagine how they would list out Ruq's crimes in the DEK in a similar manner ... She lied to her husband? I mean what would be the official crime, The crime is just not as grave no matter how you look at it.
2) When MA blurted out her crimes, she spoke truly - she spoke of her selfish ambitions and her insecurities regarding her son's future. she spoke of feeling short changed in life by Jalal. While she might be wrong in her viewpoints, at least she was truthful on that day.
Ruqaiyya again only confessed what SHE WANTED to confess. She conveniently hid her hand in the many other small schemes that were purely to defame Jodha and get her out of his life - not schemes only to get Jalal closer to her.
Had Ruqaiyya not twisted her words, I doubt Jalal would have become so 'emotional'
Fine, Jodha gave her saugandh and he did punish her. However, I am still disappointed that Jalal was blaming himself for it - and forgot about Ruqaiyya's hand in the moorthi kaand and in Sujamal fiasco which were done purely to defame Jodha and not to get Jalal closer to her or anything!
Oh MA was trying to guilt trip Jalal as well ... But Jalal had never truly sidelined MA ... But he did sideline Ruqs for sure ... If someone is the center of your life for a long time, you need to explain to her what changed ...
Ruq's was guilty in the murthi khaand ... And I explained how from Jalal's viewpoint that was her first mistake and hence he forgave it
On the Sujamal fiasco- Ruq's helped MA thinking Jodha was guilty and MA did it knowing Jodha was innocent - that to me is a big difference
I would like to see how the CVs continue Ja-Ruq relationship after this.
After the precap, I definitely despise Ruqs now..
Let's wait and watch ... Ruqs is never in her best behavior with Jodha
