Today is a critical episode in Jodha Akbar history for many viewers.
The Jalal of this serial has been portrayed as weak, indecisive, easily manipulated and stupid beyond belief. The only saving grace is his love for Jodha that hides many of these failings. If now, it is shown that Jalal lusts for another woman forgetting his pregnant wife Jodha, a situation similar to how he had seduced Jodha, while another of his wives was pregnant, then all hell will break loose. At that time, viewers were sympathetic with Jalal, now there will be open derision and every past action of Jalal will be reexamined in a new light.
If Jalal is destroyed in this manner, one thing is for sure, the addiction of many fans for this show will be cured. They will no longer care if the show has a leap or whether it shuts down. That at least, is good news.
