Wonderful take divya

Back to the plan after some Khaiber distractions...😆

Guys, I know for some, teda emperor and teda plan are
getting kind of annoying for some because you have to look at everything with a
microscope, you wonder why things are so complicated, why you have to deal with
Atifa on the screen, and why Jalal has to yell at Jodha. But, hopefully today
there were clear signs that Jalal is indeed up to something.

And I think people are even more worried about Jodha's
pregnancy- but this is what helped me get over it- the CVs absolutely have no consideration for
the fact that Jodha is pregnant ... and this goes both ways- the way TE is
executing his plan and the anger he is showing and the way Jodha was shown
running around with Khaiber. Hence, let us leave the pregnancy point aside,
assume Jodha has a magical pregnancy and go with the story.

And today, we saw Jalal show multiple dimensions of his
personality both as a husband and as the Teda Emperor up to something. And then I have some reflections on Jodha as
well.

(1) First, take care
of Jodha's health. Immediately, his
first concern was not telling her what she had done wrong ... what he and
everyone had been through ... it was about making sure Jodha was okay.

I thought Jodha looked quite cute in her wariness of
explaining to the hakim sahiba all she had been through ... and the way she
looked at Jalal's clenched fist. A very husband-wife moment. 😳

When Hakim Sahiba said , it is God's miracle that everything
is okay ... I couldn't only help but think it is CV's miracle. I hope Jodha takes
the hakim sahiba's advice to not get involved in stressful activities. 😆

I thought Jalal showed great maturity in not talking to
Jodha immediately, he was giving her some time to rest and time for his own
emotions to cool down. I think he knew
Jodha would come to him when she was ready.

Rashmi, the CVs must have listened to you- Munim Khan keeps having
voice overs- today's was how Jodha and Jalal need to talk to each other. But,
Jalal knew that, and so did Jodha. They were just waiting for the right time.

Loved how Jalal came from behind to Jodha and said "Aap mujhe dhoond
rahin thi" and the way he said "Yaha nahin" ... he did not want to air this
publicly. And more on his grace under fire as well.

(2a) I understand you ... but you need to
understand your mistake I liked how Jalal showed how he completely
understood Jodha and her good intentions but also wanted her to realize the
gravity of her mistake ... to make sure she understood and learned from it.

His dialogues were very well crafted ...

He first explained his view on Khaiber, why instead of
killing him and he put him in a well ... and how he is not always a "bewaqoof"
and why she does not believe in him

I liked instead of telling her she was wrong, he positioned
it as questions ... on how could he answer to the rumors, dead soldiers, and
villagers? Asking, how will you ask for forgiveness from all of them? 👏

And he was softer in his anger I believe for two reasons

- He has realized that his message and what he is trying to tell
is lost in the fact that he is angry

- He is not showing off his anger the way he was to a
certain spying audience in Agra

But, if you do not believe that reason ...

(2b) And the biggest
hint to us and Jodha to trust in Jalal was the following dialogue "You don't
have trust in me but I could never bring myself to doubt you even if I wanted
to"

We will just need to learn to trust Jalal ... if there is a
reason he is yelling at Jodha, behaving the way he is , there is a BIG reason for
that and we just need to wait for it to unravel.

And as always, I had faith in Jalal, that he would always
trust Jodha and he lived up to it.

(3) Symbolism of the sleeping with their heads in two
directions

They may be looking like they are in different directions and at loggerheads ...
but they are together in their love for each other.

I liked how Jalal looked over at Jodha ... I also liked how Jodha sat up to talk to Jalal ... I hope this signals a new journey, that she realizes she
may have misread Jalal and she takes the first step to better understand him.
Hope she continues to do the same.

(4) Grace under fire ... Jalal showed in so many ways he did
not want Jodha's insult in public.

He did not let them talk outside of the tent ... he said let
us go in.

And more importantly, when they walked into Agra fort and he
heard the rumors about rifts between them ... I loved the way he held Jodha's
hand to signal to everyone that all was indeed well.

And the way he lifted up their hands together to show the world and said that "Jodha
Begum Mehfooz (safe) hai "... and thank God for her return to silence everyone

Hat's off to you Jalal!👏

And he took advantage of the opportunity and held her hand
right till they walked inside. He never leaves the opportunity!
😉

On Shariffudhin: Jalne khi bhoo aarahi haein ... I love how he
was so upset he was sent after the dacoits. 😆

(5) A note about Jodha: Jodha will always be Jodha.
Accepting her mistakes is not one of her best hunars. It is not a hunar of a
lot of people- including myself. She knows she has done wrong, but she does not
express it with the same depth we and gets defensive ... but, more than the way
the apology is said, what is more important is her will the CVs show she has learned from
her mistake in her actions. And for that, we can only wait and watch and I am hoping for the best.

You cannot expect Jodha to change in one day and be a better
apologizer just as I cannot expect Jalal to change and forget his impulsive anger in one day 😆

But, there are a few things I liked with Jodha today:

- I liked how she put her head on his shoulder when she said
that "I hope that Khaiber gets his share of love" just how she received her
share of love in this janam with Jalal

- Her reflection in the room ... she was asking herself the
right questions ... by trying to save Khaiber she did indeed lead to his death
vs. he would have struggled in a well

- I liked her eagerness to talk to Jalal

- I liked how she apologized to everyone

And when she used the word "nirakshin" to describe a check-up, I laughed
because the last time I heard that word was the movie " Chupke Chupke" when Dharmendar said he would do "nirakshin" of the car 😆

Special mention to Maan Sing: I loved Maan Singh's maturity
to make her understand Jalal's POV before she talked to him ... what he has
heard, seen, his worry, and lack of eating

The Atifa factor: Today was interesting in a few dimensions
on the Atifa factor:

- Atifa's husband urgency about let's go from here in concern
"bhaag nikhaale" ... should highlight something is up

- Jalal asking about Atifa to Ruqaiyya ... I think if one thing, he is
worried of all these days he could not keep an eye on Atifa ... and I think he
asked in public as he wanted to guage people's reactions

- He also wants to know if her husband has made any moves on
the zinakari days etc., I am curious to know how he reacts when he heard about
her husband visiting her as a Khwaja Shehra

-I think Atifa is made to look intentionally innocent to be
a contrast to the last attack, Benezir

- The precap is hinting we are headed towards the climax of this track

BTW someone had made a guess that her husband would dress as
a Kwaja Shehra to see Atifa. Bingo , you were right!

Question: What was Maham Anga distracted by when she was talking to Adham Khan? Was it Atifa
playing her instrument? What is going on?

Oh and Nigaar suddenly appeared today ... mysterious. I still think Nigaar is behind this attack.

Ok, thoughts on my take and the episode? Your likes and comments really keep me going.

👏

1)yup he showed immense maturity today in every aspect . Loved all his expressions, the way jodha was telling hakim saahiba that she is going to be good girl that was all for her hubby , the way we give silent treatment , talk to 3 rd person but is meant for some one else so like real life couple. 2(a)-he explained every thing to her in clear words , what was his intention that she failed to understand . As queen she needs to trust his decisions , that was his whole point ,there is line between personal issue and public one and she needs to understand that.but I still have doubt about wether jodha understood or not . 2(b) for me jodha failed here , understanding depath of his love and his trust in her. As queen she failed again , she was giving explanation to one person who does not need any , but she is not worried about what awaam says about her , she failed to understand that it is directly related his reputation so she failed to see bigger picture again . As adi says she loves him but not in love with him.3-agree completely4) as king as hubby he did his job perfectly but some how I felt jodha took it in wrong way as if all is well that is when she heard atifa again , she was shocked . But jalal looked more worried . Shariff is back on singing -tu pyaar hai kisi aur ka 😆 5-this jodha has to learn a lot about being wife and queen.

Thanks

If I praise Jalal in a post, it does not mean I do not understand Jodha. Similarly during the mirchi war, all my posts were just praising Jodha.

I always understand Jodha ... except sometimes I do not agree with her ... but that does not mean I love her any less

Look forward to your thoughts

I do not mind if you praise Jalal a lot Divya and I know u do love Jodha but Jalal a little more..:):):) last part is just for fun okay...

Why this post of yours is one of my favorites is because we were in total synch today. Loved Jalal's concern for Jodha and of course his anger was totally justified. How cutely worried Jodha was looking at Jalal when she was telling Hakima about all her adventures..

I loved how u explained about Jodha, especially when she was apologizing to Jalal. I know many felt she was not sincere enough. I am not sure how do u define a person is genuine or not, is it just with your expression. I cannot shower Praises and Praises but I do know how to appreciate others through my deeds. Its different..Jodha was very Graceful in apologizing and I know she will show her sincerity through her deeds. Even if she does not apologize Jalal will not mind. Same goes to Jodha as well. Jalal and Jodha has different ways of expressing but can I say Jalal is better than Jodha. No way, because both are different and I love them, for that just like they love each other.

Honestly other than Jodha's impulsive nature I just do not want her to change at all.. I want a Strong Jalal but with less anger.


next week just like Jalal showed his faith in Jodha, Jodha is going to do the same. she is going to stand by her husband and support him and prove some of her critics wrong..:):)

Divy, I'm at a loss for words today.

This time Jalal is going to show who is boss

I think Atifa is intentionally shown weak to throw folks off ... to think she is not another Ben but she is (an assassin)

@bold: yes agree, I have fallen for it. Rashmi keeps reminding me of the Shikar trip scene.

Teri meri ,meri teri prem kahani hain mushkil
