i stopped watching the day i saw Akbar shown as a captive, just to glorify jodha and make her win the war, a complete false interpretation of historical facts..influenced by our daily naari sakti sbs shows!..then every track that started ended with hail jodha and at times it looked funny ott and forced as if the rest are just bunch of cartoons or key toys that start clapping when u turn their key on! i could not relate to history nor i could relate to the characterization of real jodha who i am sure would have got praises in the four walls of her room from her husband as who does hail my wifey in public on every single thing, its just like i am glorifying my kid in a group where everyone else is equally responsible for putting up a good show! what would have been realistic is that if jodha's faults and good deeds were balanced and coinciding with the ideologies of a 16th century woman who being a rajput was a full on pati vrata lady and not a rebellious one! i can understand during ghrina phase but once she is in love and is now pregnant with jalal's child still goes against her husband and supports khyber is what i fail to understand and relate to the real historical character! a faulty display indeed!
i did started watching from wednesday onwards where the atifa angle is shown, it might have happened in history and i can somewhat relate to it and also it looks more realistic than what i have been shown a few days back..now there has been a lot of reactions to jalal's behaviour but if u look at the kings of that century it was a very normal behavior! now if you all think of it, if jodha is pregnant and lets say the hakima sahiba says that she cannot have any physical contact with the husband until she delivers do you guys think that jalal or lets say the real akbar would have gone without sleeping with anybody for one year and that also when he is obligated to spend nights with his so many female partners? now does that make him not loyal towards jodha as far as his love is concerned, i would say no, jodha has her own place and so does ruk and salima..jodha was also muz for which she was kept on a pedestal by jalal as compared to the others!..and of course she must be having her strong good qualities as well!..as mentioned by mages jalal's touching atifa was indecent, i think he still maintained some distance and decency was it any other king of that time he would have ordered her to attend him in his hojra..and that is the reality!
now what is love/lust..i think these terms are relative! they are juxtaposed! a man needs a physical relation to fall in love whereas a woman needs a soul connection to fall in love..when a woman submits herself physically, she in exchange gets the love that she is craving for!...for jalal its more of a physical touch that makes him connected to somebody and for jodha its the inner feel that makes her connect to somebody, therefore comparing jodha's liking or attraction or whatever you may call for khyber to jalal's attraction/lust/infatuation or whatever you may call for atifa is like comparing apples to oranges...! these attractions are gender based!...now when we come to cvz or display of characterization then i believe that every character shown should be close to reality..jodha should be shown more of a normal human being rather than mahaan all the time, she should have her fears..her inabilities or her abilities of actions close to what a 16th century hira kuwari could have done,,on the other hand jalal should be shown as powerful and authoritative, more close to the real akbar who transformed from grey to more white but still had his weaknesses and strengths, never was he weak when it came to wars or was a captive as shown in the show and to add more to his insults he was shown beaten up as well..now that is quite disgusting and disgraceful on ekta's part!
i will briefly mention ZGH since a lot of you can relate to that show, the way the characterization of the main lead and their relatives was shown seemed like it was your and mine story and it touched our hearts, both were neither mahaan nor completely faulty, they had their ups and downs their emotions were close to a normal human being, they were no gods, they were given equal importance and screen space, it was not male or female centric, and that is why the show touched everyone's heart and we felt close to the show and learned something from it..and the most beautiful thing was how they grew in each other's company and how the trust was built, very beautifully and realistically shown..i just want the characters of JA to be more normal..realistic and the tracks should have some connectivity..i hope the cvz work on it and also not butcher one character to glorify the other!
i would love to hear what you all have to say to the khichari that cvz have made of this show which started off very well!
