Tamy, I know sweetie that you're trying to be positive dear... but still a muscled roaring young man tearing apart a guy who laid a hand on the love of his life cannot substitute for the missing 'strong' Emperor we're lamenting about... what Jalal is doing here, is a protective instinct... a part of every man (which I agree some men can achieve and some can't)

Lashy, but this is progress from what we just saw

While Jalal is just and humble as always - the aspects that actually make him A SUCCESSFUL Emperor are totally missing (qualities that he did have once upon a time but not since Tasneem) - prudence, planning ahead, staying alert, vindictiveness, demanding respect, ego, self-respect, recognizing one's limitation AND limitations in OTHERS too etc etc...

The pre-Tasneem world seems like saying B.C. in the calendar ... where is that Jalal?

Shreya, obviously we are on the same page as I was being totally sarcastic on my take.

The CVs do not understand equality ... I do not need to see Jodha terrorized by a Hunk to see Jalal strong

Look I use various coping strategies ... made fun of the CVs, tried to look at the rosy side, and when all else fails I use sarcasm

How long did the sympathy last? The minute he yelled at Jodha it all flew away!

I had a really tough time deciding what to do my take 5 on today ... there were so many options.

First, I considered how Ekta Kapoor has broken the boundaries of how warfare is done ... it is amazing. Top 5 weapons used ...

(1) Mirchi

(2) Mithi

(3) Poisoned hot water

(4) Oh yes, and some swords and arrows as needed

(5) And now, man-monsters ... as a khaas hatyaar ...

wait for the aliens too

By the way, the man-monster reminded me of Bakasura from Mahabharat. What an inspiration! I am pretty sure the BR Chopra Mahabharat had a similar intro of Bakasura.

I wonder when the CVs will stop watching Sholay and watch things (or gaining things) like Sense and Sensibility! Oh that is Ekta Kapoor's other serial. Okay, what about Gone with the Wind, Zubeida, Jodha Akbar, Mughal-e-Azam?

Do you still believe they have taste.The PH also makes hideous movies like Ragini MMS

And, it's magical, with these weapons, the war is over ... oh ya, the man-monster is still to come. Jalal did not even have to lift a finger. He is an impressive leader... he wins wars without doing a thing. I heard good leaders delegate ... and he is showing this massive capability.

So then I thought I could do a take 5 of the top things Jalal spends his time on:

I always salute Your this hunar of still making Take 5 however bad the episode is.

(1) Well, if you are not doing the action yourself, the best thing you can do is thank people for the action they are doing on your behalf. And, Jalal is an expert at that. I was glad to see him thank everyone for their efforts - Maan Singh, Jodha, and all the other Begums.They all deserve it.

And if the mirchi war is the main war, then no wonder Jodha is credited for winning it.

I know , I should have known that was coming. Shehnaaz had laughed when she heard Jalal was bringing the harem with her ... will these women fight? And I should have known that was exactly what was going to happen.

But he forgot to thank his mom who actually was the leader from day 1.Now all MILs watching the show will say even a man like Akbar forgot mom in front of wives.😉

(2) Fulfilling the wishes of his begums ... First he was hopping around his Khaas Begums. Now, he is promising wishes for all his begums .

Now, what defines a begum vs. a baandhi in the harem. The last I heard he had 5,000 people in his harem ... that will keep him busy for a long time.

I wonder what Ruqaiyya will ask for? Can they bring back Pinaaz Begum just for this? How exciting!

I am afraid of Ruku but even Jodha too and this gift might turn as a pardon to another villian.

Maham Anga must really feel she got a raw deal that she didn't get a wish ... this was an easy opportunity for her to ask for the Dilli ki Taqt. She probably fought hard to get this opportunity.

Infact hers was the best sword fight

Adham Khan also likely felt he got a raw deal ...

(3) Getting a spa treatment: Today, Jalal looked as fresh as ever. He must be enjoying the spa treatments. Abul Mali's oils must be very effective.

Did the CVs forget we like to see Jalal in the bathtub? I think I can sit through watching Jalal in the bathtub then watch MahaC with her young husband.

Me too with you but I can watch HQ minus Mahac

(4) Missing the biggest clues around him ... Supposedly, Jodha is the love of his life ... and he missed the glow that even Bharmal could see in Jodha.

Bharmal noticed it because he is father of many kids, he is used to this glow

But, he always misses the clues ...

(5) Yell at Jodha ... first, I agree partially that she should not have hidden the news from him ... at least after the war was won ... but this Jalal claimed he would not have gone to war if he knew the news. So, Jodha was right in hiding it from him till the war is over.

Also, it was sentimental how Jodha wanted to share the news in front of the throne ...The romantic in me will concede that.

I wonder how Jalal finds out?

Yelling was a concern of a worried husband and father.

But, Jalal, what is the point of yelling, when we all know you will finally admit his mistake? Don't you ever learn from your mistakes?

And then, lastly I considered what I would wish for if I was one of Jalal's begums:

(1) Fight in a war with your sword, defeat the enemy with your sword, and win (Nowadays, I realized I can't be generic if I wish for a war ... I have to be real specific)

(2) Practice with your sword every morning so I can see your twirls and teach me some moves to ... you can hold me from the back, I won't mind.

Or the sword will rust one day with no use.

(3) Go on a romantic boat ride ... I promise I won't hesitate to give my hand ... I love boat rides but I am scared to get on the boat. How convenient!

Come to Florida ,lots of boats on rental and for that Miami too your 22 yrs old eyes need treat.

(4) Pass a reform to eradicate corruption (that is my wish till date, today)

Lokpal bill.Jalal now Anna Hazare.

(5) Punish Nigar Aapa. This track has made my life miserable!

Kill dear Kill.Even Almighty might pardon you for this.

Guys, some days I love sarcasm ... this is one of them!

Lashy woh toh sapna hi rehjayega lagta hai🥺

First I thought he will escape by himself from Mali's clutch...didnt happen.

then I thought he must have sent message to Amer clan...didnt happen rather they arrived by themselves.

then I thought the war hasn't finished..Chuchak will again attack then Jalal will be in action..didnt happen as today he announced war is over.

ab kya bolu aur??? kuch bolne layak hai kya?😕

issi liye khudko dilasa derahi hoon
