Divi,

Needless to say, a lot of hate-posts are floating around. And I guess I belong to the minority.

Though, my opinion on today's episode was already made up after Shyamala aunty's post, where she had explained why it would be better for Jalaal to rein in his anger and keep the matter in the wraps, to keep the validity of his future children alive.

That said, I felt Rajat's wonderful performance continued in today's episode as well, and it was more beautiful because it was understated. The way his voice cracked when he said he had lost his child, the meaningful pause, when he said "I am you friend" to Ruqaiyya while hugging her, and the silent warning in his eyes when he said, this should be your last dagaa, it was all wonderfully done.

It was in a way fair that Jodha be the one to understand Ruqaiyya's predicament. She had experienced the same insecurity on the SR night remember? It would have been catty for her to forgive her own insecurity and find fault in Ruqaiyya's. With every relationship there's an equal amount of prem and moh unless you're an ascetic. And Jodha realizes it now.

That said, I feel what Jodha did was more out of concern for Jalaal than Ruqaiyya. She knew, Jalaal had lost too many of his near and dear ones and losing a childhood friend, would be a massive blow to him. So she took the wisest decision in the given situation. (I fervently hope, Shyamala aunty will be a bit partial to her today.) It happens in every household that women sometimes give up their egos and go with the flow, which is probably the reason why so many mom-in-laws get by with their bad behaviour.

While some feel, Ruqaiyya was unpunished, I feel she got the deserving punishment. Jalaal said if you need anything, just let me know. Would a friend ever tell that to another. Hell no! A friend would always know what the other wants and would be there for them. Today, Jalaal erected a wall of formality between himself and Ruqaiyya, and am sure the dope-head will take some time to realize.

I really liked the Ja Jo scene. There was comfort and homeliness there, I loved it.

Now coming to my favourite pre-occupation, did Shenu bond, actually understand what was going on, she saw a portion of food being tucked away and a Gwalior hakim (one more!) being led blind-folded to the cave. Will she deduce Maham's hand in it? The precap, is of course a dream or a nightmare depending on who's seeing it. Akbar ruled till he was 65, so it's pure balderdash to say he died when he was 23-24.

Wonderful episode. Wonderful post. 👍🏼

Nice post Divya,bu even with vachan cannot accept Jalals behaviour

Cant he question each one of her hideous acts during this fake preg drama

Cant he show how much of his emotions are hurt due to this??

Cannot understand how one cannot question why she did what she did even if jodha pointed out Rukaiyas point of view

Me confused😕

Seems so unrealistic like the track logic
