Dear Mansi, I liked your perspective on Jalal's reaction in yesterdays episode. Again today I am with you and I don't want to be judgmental about Jalal-Atifa relationship. As you correctly put it..Jalal would have been as angry on this Khyber issue..with Atifa around or not around. He just can't bear the thought of anyone going near Jodhas bedroom and as you correctly mentioned his male ego is more hurt than ever. He will be seen as someone who couldn't take care of his pregnant wife and somewhere the guilt within him that if he had been around with Jodha ..this would not have happened . Now what has happened cannot be reversed but yes definitely avoided .So he wants to show that his supreme authority in public and wants to create fear in minds of people. But .. What about Jodha's perspective here, Mansi..
Yesterday morning I felt her being over sympathetic towards Khyber is not correct. But when I saw yesterday nights episode I felt she was right. She knows Khyber wont act on his own and the real culprit was still at large. What she did yesterday..even mariam Makani.. would not have been able to do.. She made Shehshah take back his orders and that too publicly.. I applaud her fhat. This lady had the guts to stand up against A King no matter what.. stand up for justice.. Again we may think Khyber has committed a crime.. by going to Harem.. but as some of those sipahis were saying.. does he understand all this. has he done this intentionally...? I think Jodha again thinks that if he had to harm her or her babies.. no one could stop him from doing so... but he did not harm her in any way.. And by saving his life she is just returning the favour. He also had saved her life and feels indebted to him somehow..
Again Jodha fears that in holy month of Ramzaan, you should not commit such acts .. .. I dont think it was Jodha's ego yesterday.. it was just the last option left with her.. If she would have allowed Khyber to be killed ..Jalal or Akbar would have committed a larger sin as a king and failed to give justice as one innocent person would have been punished.. I am not sure about Khybers exact feelings for Jodha ..so dont want to comment about it.
Jalal is extremely angry as he feels Jo has publicly humiliated him.. OK .. for a moment even If I agree that he is right and Jo is wrong.. how can he say to Jodha that She never deserved to be loved ..How harsh were his words.. And by the way.. No ones ego can be greater than anyones life. So I feel Jo was right.. here and Khybers sin was not that great that he deserved a death penalty. I know many people will say that Jodha has always been forgiving wrong people and this will lead to greater trouble but here Khyber ..is just like any animal in a circus who just acts on instructions of his ringmaster. He does not have any slightest idea of why he is doing it...
Though I dont want to comment on Jalal-Atifa relationship at the moment.. but Jalal obviously seems changed.. and this change was noticed by Atgah .. who is always with him.. and he clearly seems to know the reason but Jo fails to understand.. poor Jo.. how much torture she has to undergo during her pregnancy.. Its getting too unbearable to watch..
