Sandhya I agree with you Why this meena bazar ? that to between 3 khas begums. If Jallu wants he can ask them to present some thing unique as a gift and praise them.. Why competition between 3 Begums...

Just for the peace of Jalaal & JA forum I want Salim to win it... I think only BEN win it first 2 times Jalaal purchased some thing from his 3 Khas Begums..

Jalaal knows very well Ruku is jealous of JO, why he bring this idea ? If Ruku win no problem for Salima or JO, but if JO wins then Ruku when feel more jealous...

Can Jalaal work ? I think his honeymoon period is over ..

May be and thanks for the info. But the first two Meena Bazaars of the show didn't have any winners. Why now? Another hunar display? Another bout of acidity to Ruqaiya with another ear jarring 'I won't forgive you jodha begum'.

Like Abhi I'd rather Salima wins. Just hoping Ruqs doesn't start 'I won't forgive you Salima begum'😲

What is with the set of Kabul?? It looks too artificial, and MC's costumes are so funny. Why they are he'll vent on showin as a lead of Zee horror show?

It looks like there are in the dark ages!

And why Jalal can't think above Meena Bazar, it's high time he thinks outside harem.

Agreed! Especially as he is now Akbar- even Chaand Begum was a better topic 😆

Shehnaz has to be shown more smarter than Jalal?

God no! At this point, only Maham anga!

Viji, if you read all these recountings of the various kings and emperors - there is a lot of masala as it is, due to the power politics involved - and if someone like EK decides to translate this for TV/Cinema, they would have a field day with 'natakiya rupanters'!!!!!!

Shraddha...I m feeling the same. Seeing MC's part I felt as if I were watching Hatim or Chandrakanta.😆 May be the local attire of people in Kabul used to be like that. I think EK did an experiment to give a different look to MC...same experiment she did in her Kahani Humari Mahabharat Ki(9X) & the show flopped(Though I liked the different look given to the Pandavas & the Kauravas but MC's look & the whole setting of Kabul I can't approve😕).

Well for the 'Why now?' - as per serial time nearly 6-8 months have gone by with no MB and now that Jalal has been acknowledged as Akbar by his people, a MB would give the opportunity to his Begums to express their delight - as both Jodha and Ruqs have expressed so - and this gives them the opportunity to be innovative and inventive and 'Keeps them out of his hair' 😛😉😆!!!!!!!!!

As for who wins - I would like this to be a tie - with Jalal finding all three presentations unique - but knowing EK's incapability of mature takes, even I would prefer Salima as the winner.

unofficially winners were there. especially if u remember the very 1st meena bazar when smiley was there. all the other begums used to discuss how evrytime jalal buys most of the times from ruku's "khema" & she was always the unofficial winner. other begums were not happy about it. all the begums tried to make their khema unique, so tht shahehshah notices it. so it was always a competition & the khema which shahehshah liked the most was supposed to be the winner. 2nd time it was not shown clearly bcoz tht meena bazar concentrated on jajo equation after MC track, but surely there was sum winner.

Guys, today was a checklist episode ... Where the CVs included everything to make everyone happy.

Here is how I believe the CVs developed today's episode, in their words:

- The audience is super-excited about Mita Vashist ... Let us give her more footage today to prove how good a villain she is 😉

- Let's make a super-cute Akdha scene where Jalal can again says he loves Jodha in case folks forgot 😳

- Cupids are always nice ... Even after the love birds are in love ... So of course let's add in Hakim Mirza and Rahim to the scene 😳

- And we definitely need to talk about war ... Atgah will give a status update on Maan Singh ⭐️

- Divya loves Todarmal ... So let's show him walking out of the DEK 😆 (Okay, if I make fun of others, I also make fun of myself)

- Some folks were missing Ruqaiyya yesterday so let's bring back her favorite dialogue ... I will not forgive you Jodha Begum. 😉

- Some folks were also missing Maham Anga and a smart villain so we can have Maham Anga find out about Shehnaaz 👏

- We have never shown Jodha win Meena Bazaar so let's have a Meena Bazaar so she can win ... 👏

But, yet somehow, it looks like they made no one happy ... However, I was entertained by the episode and actually found a few ironies in the episode that were interesting and that is what will make my take 5:

You are so right divya...just said the words in my mind. It was indeed boring.

(1) There MahaC is playing a big plan to remove Jalal from his takth , and here her son Hakim Mirza is doing little shararats to bring Jodha-Jalal closer together.

By the way, have to hand it to MahaC that even her blind aide is more effective than Jalal's seeing aides. 👏

But, I was also mightily impressed that Jalal knew that MahaC hated him (at least he recognizes one enemy) and even sent spies in Kabul - but the poor woman was caught. 👏

And yes, the Akdha scene was cute, but what was new about Jalal loving Jodha. Am I missing something? Anyways, I will take the sugary sweetness. 😳

And, I am very curious how Hakim Mirza will become grey/negative as in history.

I think the whole purpose of the scene was to show how much Jalal likes mirza and viceversa...their bonding rather than Ja-jo

(2) Jalal is going through the perfect phase of a love-struck emperor, while Maan Singh is busily fighting it out in the battlefield.

Every king in history I think has a phase where he is distracted by his love ... I am giving Jalal one day to be distracted ... Now, that day is done. Jalal now get to work like you were talking about yesterday.

MahaC this is the perfect time to attack ... CVs please get this track over quickly.

And, next time, please send Jalal on the war. 😉

Jalal and war

(3) Ruqaiyya continues to suffer from significant insecurity and jealousy over Jodha ... What could be a better way to address that then by having a Meena Bazaar between the three khaas begums. Jalal, you are a genius!

I have to hand it to Jalal- he knows Jodha will win, so for efficiencies he invited only three begums for the Meena Bazaar. 😆

Now, Ruqaiyya will have one more reason to hate Jodha in case she had begun to develop a soft corner.

I loved Jalal -ruq scene actually. when he said Jodha actually learned Urdu for me.. Aww!

(4) Maham Anga thinks Jodha is smart enough to send Shehnaaz behind her ... When Jodha does not even know Shehnaaz is acting.

Maham Anga's superwoman capabilities continue to amaze me ... Important news always reachea her first. She should know by now that the CVs only bestow these powers to her.

After watching MC Begum, I love Maham and Ashwini even more..she has class..I am really worried about MC Begum, her characterization, look, dialogues, even acting is so blahhh..

No one can beat Ashwini. Actually i felt the whole episode quality has gone down because of MC begum. What are CV's and Ekta thinking??? I am not sure how they will fix this.

(5) While Shehnaaz wants to wear Jalal's crown, she gives Jodha the idea to make Jalal a crown that unites the customs of the two religions.

While I think it is a wonderful idea, I wish Jodha had come up with it herself. Let's see how the scene plays out.

I wonder what idea Hoshiyar will give to Ruqs tomorrow or whether he will get a slap.

Does Shehnaaz's smirk mean she wants to stir some controversy with the crown, e.g., stirring up the anger of the Maulvis?

Okay a big question: In the Shehnaaz- Maham Anga face-off ... If Shehnaaz knows that Maham Anga does not want her truth out in front of Jalal and that is why she has not gone to Jalal yet ... Then obviously, Jalal is not behind the kidnapping of Chaand Begum. Am I missing something?

Cant wait for the Shenaaz Khulasa, i am totally done with her.

Okay, shoot, what are your thoughts on the episode and take?

WORST ACTORS and characters IN JA :

1. Shenaaz

2. mc begum (i expected a lot from Mita)

Random thoughts: I think it is the actor who makes or breaks a character. Old moti was so good that it added warmth to the scene, and the new moti was so irritating. But zakira for instance was so good with Jodha yesterday, and i am observing lesser screen space for Moti these days.

If Mita can emote and act better, no one would look at her looks or anything else I guess.
