All honours go to Jodha and the ladies of Jalaluddin Mohammed! - Page 10

Ayushi, I am wondering about something ... did you see the way Ruq told Abul Mali that she is the Begum-e-Khas. What would Abul Mali have thought of her khas-ness if he saw that she was the first to try and drink that poison??? he would have laughed his guts out!

This is the real test of someone's will power and bravery. Whether they are the first to take the easy way out or they are willing to take the hard and difficult route to success.

See the difference between Jodha and Ruq. Ruq is giving up even before the battle is begun, and Jodha is ready to begin the battle herself!

What is the use of winning at shatranj and chausar inside the house when you cannot even face the thought of a real battle outside the house?

Nice observation! I always wanted to see Jo+Ja away from the palace, from Agra if possible. However, the purpose was for them to leave the palace/Agra behind. Here the palace/Agra is traveling with them and would be right there, so the purpose is lost, and they may as well go back. 😊

Mansi thanks for the wonderful analysis for a great episode. Jodha the warrior was back, her conviction, her inner fire, strength everything was shining.

Loved how her eyes had the burning fire at the end of the episode. Waiting for today's mirch masala.

Take care...

Superb take , Mansi...episode was definitely good... Yest was real Nari-shakti shown ...and yes, Ekta is real queen in showing such things... hats off to Ekta and her CVs, the director of yest episode and entire cast , specially my Jo...Pari nailed every expression... I had always loved Pari's Jodha , but yest she was better than herself...Pari lived the character completely right from start of the episode to the end , even in precap...

The character of Jodha opened up yest, slowely but logically... and yes , I m quite surprised and thankful to CVs for not making her to look like melodramatic or a drama queen... The Jodha , I was watching on screen, was a True Rajvanshi Princess and a Perfect Queen of the Mighty Shehenshah Jalal... No less, Jodha deserves the salute to be what she was...

Friends, history has given many examples that the princesses or queens that time were trained for wars... they used to kill themselves to save their self-respects, but few were there who fought for that self-respect , before killing themselves after losing the war...and the one example in Akbar's era was Rani Durgavati...I don't know much, but I think She fought the war right against Akbar , and when she lost she committed Jauhar...but she didn't give up without fighting... I had always loved fighting spirits (only it should be logical)...and so loving yest's Jodha was just natural...and yes , again I m thankful to CVs for giving me my Jodha back, just as I love her...

Jalal was not there with her... he is away, she doesn't know his whereabouts... but still he was right away there with her... inside her , as her soul... so merged they r with eachother... Hamida, Ruku, Salima, Maham and his other queens, they know Jalal for much more time than Jo... But none of them know him like she does... none of them understands him as she does... and that was proved yest...

Jodha and Jalal...two different ppl, but they have become one in such a way, that one is body and other has become it's soul... how can we miss him , when he is so submerged in her...and this oneness with him has given her that trust in him, that confidence , that her husband , the mighty Shehenshah will return back to her, not just coz he has promised her to come back, but coz he cares for her coz he loves her and coz he wants her to live a long life and he knows that she will not be alive without him...that confidence in those words, that if I m still breathing , that means he is alive, has come to her from that oneness with Jalal...

Just day before, I feared that CVs will ruin Jo's character by making her look drama queen, or making her give lectures abt a woman being mother and a Durga, whatever is needed at times... and she said all those things... but, yes, it never felt dramatic... She felt real and logical...

Guys , we don't know the true history, and I don't want to know one... I m enjoying what they r showing... and yest I really didn't feel, they r killing Jalal... Coz whether we like it or not, it's true, that Jo is shown as a trained warrior and we have seen her fighting alongwith Jalal when AK's men had attacked them... so why not to enjoy this Jodha, who will fight to save her husband's honour?

Rashmi, I can see your sense of humour has suddenly come back to full form after a bit of seriousness!😃

Sorry to butt in but Rashmi, women empowerment will not happen all of a sudden. It takes time and it mainly takes our mindset. Till such time we wait for someone to give us our rights like 33% reservation etc. It doesn't happen by holding banners and screaming slogans. We need to start it from within. Unless a woman made up her mind to set herself free, off course not from the family & society but from mental bond that it is a male dominated society they will not allow me to come up, nothing will happen. Even if a man gives you the opportunity to climb up the ladder, you will think skeptically, why did so, what was his idea behind this help etc. So it is we as women who needs to wakeup from within and without that no organization can get a woman liberation. If it goes to the hands of organizations, it will be a clear case of separation and not liberation.

When I opted for Electrical Engineering, I was the only girl in my entire class and I had 19 boys to share the class. Initially I was a bit taken aback and opted for change in stream and then my principal asked me what was your words when you chose the stream and I promptly replied, I would like to study Engineering Than Secretarial Practice and then he asked me so why I am opting out and I said It may be difficult to study with all the boys and only girl and he said your aim is to study and never alter your aim for some uncalled for reason. It was a difficult situation not just for me but also for my classmates as they had to watch their words and action always but that turned out to be the turning point for me. And added to that that day when I went back home, I just narrated my worries to my parents and my Grand father had come home from village and instead of my father, it was my grandpa who said, if you are confident to keep your head high at all situation and study, no one will stop you from studying and it doesn't matter whether you are the only one girl among the group of 20 or you are with 10 girls and 10 boys. We trust you and it is your responsibility to stay up to that. So go ahead and fulfill your dream to be an engineer. By the time I completed my course, I had lost my Grandpaa but even today, I remember his words and when I opted to send my daughter to Manipal to study, people commented why we have to send her away and she will have to stay in a hostel, instead why not we join her to some Engineering college in Bangalore, so that we can keep an eye on her and all I had to convey is what my father and his father told me when I joined Engineering. That I trust my daughter and she knows her responsibility. If she has to go havoc, she can do that even when she stay with us.
