Why I loved Jalal in yesterday's episode?
Concern and love for Jodha. Many here feel he doesn't care for her anymore. If he didn't, he wouldn't have come and checked on her. He became a ferocious lion when Sharifuddin told him about Khaiber's deed. So much so that, HE DID NOT PAY HEED TO THE FACT THAT SHARIFUDDIN WAS MORE WORKED UP THAN HE SHOULD HAVE. Even when Atgah Khan hinted, he did not pay attention.- He went on to announce a death penalty for Khaiber knowing well it was the holy month of Ramzaan. He went against some of his own values because someone had dared to hurt Jodha.
- He was genuinely upset because he could not protect Jodha.
- Finally, FINALLY, we had Jalal standing up for himself. I know. Wrong timing CVs. Extremely wrong timing. It SEEMS as if it is because of Atifa he is doing this. But it is not so.
- THAT was an EPIC dialogue. 'He stopped on my ishara', he is good at heart.'' Says, jodha. To which Jalal says, I am not your puppet. Anyone who listens and dances to your tunes is good but anyone who has a brain of his own, is bad. It was an amazing dialogue.
- He fulfilled his promise by freeing Khaiber. The anger cum restraint Rajat portrayed in that scene was one of the best I have seen! But, everyone is so upset no one mentioned that. Poor Jalal. Poor Rajat.
- His anger IS justified.
I am still waiting for the Atifa track. I still believe Jalal. Let us hope.
