Jodha and Jalal, they are really made for each other, she doesn't try to give any uchit anuchit lectures, how much we yearned for this version.The scene where Salima crowns Jalal was very emotional, both Jalal and Salima emotes their pain so well.Jodha without giving bhashan easily conveyed how important for his other two khaas begums to be part of the awaam meeting was good.The last scene was very well done, the old man gets a simple letter with AKBAR on it, it was very touchy. Finally Jodha saying Humein bahut prem hain hamare Shehansha, Hamare "Akbar" and Jalal reading her lip syncBut my question is when did Jakal insist Jodha to call him by his name? Why didn't cv's show this "zid" to us ?Overall very nice and hope cv's continue to give us such episodes
Yes, it was truly a fabulous episode for all the reasons you mention- the Jodha-Jalal connect, the Jalal-Salima scene, and Jodha having the two other khaas begums come.
The old man who gave him the Akbar title was very well selected.
On Jalal's zid- I thought he was saying it more forward looking saying I would ask you many a day but that would be the only say it that day. Maybe based on the lip sync he will ask her to say it again in person and she will refuse :)
Also, did you notice they showed Jodha and Jalal's bonding in many ways as well as the Jalal-Salima bonding- but there was no such connect between Jalal-Ruqaiyya. I thought it was very symbolic.
