Hahaha Divyam I understand the underlying frustration of not presenting Jodha and Jalal properly. There is nothing I don't agree with you dear, so, not much to counter. Even, I felt, why this character contra by the CVs, but then, Ekta and her team does such things anyway, am used to it.

i so loved the so many srk references u made here divya

Very good takes,friend.👏..

What I don't get is being a large Harem, means only one thing, that the King has no control over his hormones??? Harem comprised of not only an Emperor's wives but also his other female relatives and many women in need, dependent on the King...Emperor had huge responsibility if he'd big harem...is this not narrow mindedness of people or so called historians??

I have no hopes from CVs...first they showed us all kind of circus and nautanki and now twisting the history in Ekta'ish way...the lead couple is haywire right now😡

Noone understands it dear. Forget atifa if jalal cant even have physical relations with any other wives. When he went to ruku after he heard her pregnancy news then also jalal's love towards jodha has been questioned. So ekta had always took things too far by showing 5000 women in his life nd when he falls for jodha he cant go to anyone. Neither ekta nor the audience understand the structure of polygamy in 16th century. Now MP loved ajaabde but he did married many afterher as wwell nd also had physical relations with them but tht doesn't mean his love for ajaabde was over.

As I said akbar never had relations with 5000 women as it was stated in this show nd especially when jodha came there were very few women, jodha was only his 5th wife nd concubines were also not many. Truth is those 5000 consisted of his relatives, sisters nd many others to whom he had given shelters nd never had any physical relationship with them. But many people used to think tht he had physical relations with all 5000 which is totally wrong. But ekta here had clearly stated tht jalal had 5000 legal illegal wives nd concubines which is utter rubbish.

@Adi and Munni I have once read an article about Muslim Harem especially Mughal Harems.
In that article it was written many european writers have some misconception about Harems and their ladies. Harem was not meant to satisfy the needs of the Emporer. Many European says in kings Harems the woman don't have any values they r there just to satisfy Emporer's need and just to bear the child. Its not TRUE.
All the woman who lives in Harem aren't emporer's wife. Emporer's mothers, sisters, daughters also used to live in the Harem. The singers and dancers ,lady poets also used to live in the Harem. Every Queen used to had hundred maids for themselves. Every Queen used to have their own singers, dancer, poets to entertain them. They were lady guards to protect them, there were lady spies in the Harem they used to report to the King. After war many woman were brought to Harem to give them shelter. Many kings used to send dancers , singers and maids as gifts. That's why they were so many woman in king's Harem. But not all of them had relation with kings. Most of them were workers they used to works for queens.
And most of the audience don't understand polygamy. In polygamy each woman has equal right on the husband. Just because Jalal love Jo he can't egnore all his other wives.

Srry divya I didn't wanted to bring religion in this nd I was not referring to adina's. I was saying thts how many people of akbar's era viewed things.

Beautiful post... actually, I would say it was one of your best ones Divi... extremely balanced and poised
