I wanted a smart and shrewd Jalal against the enemies but not towards his loved ones. His pricking/insulting words towards his pregnant wife, all that she suffered during her pregnancy including her character getting gossiped by the awaam, her almost suicide along with her to-be kids (that could have been the end of the plan), ulemas up in arms, awaam up in arms, his khas begum like Rukaiya and Jodha getting insulted not in hojra but in front of baandhis and soldiers, revolt within the palace and outside, I mean is this how we wanted a TEDA Jalal to catch a pawn like Atifa and its mastermind. At the cost of his happiness, his beloved's happiness, his harem's happiness, his Sultanate's happiness.
I don't know what were the CVs thinking while writing this track..to get a dramatic climax or take everyone by surprise. Because they failed on both counts and very badly as the majority are not liking the way this track has been handled and both Jodha and Jalal's character has been butchered mercilessly. I have seen JA from the start with some ridiculous tracks in it. But by far this is the MOST ridiculous and senseless idea by the CVs irrespective of the reasoning they will give at the end.
As for Jodha knowing about this plan. I don't think she knows it till now. Her crying before the Kanha in yesterday's episode and also her self-talk in her hojra that what is the bhavishya of my children and what is their father doing with background dialogues shows that she is still not part of this plan. And if she is still not part of his plan then I want to know why he didn't show his trust in her to make her understand what he was going to do and why?. Don't reason out that it was for her good or protect her because when he pushed her to the edge of emotional/mental stress during critical months of her pregnancy (something he is aware of) and to the point of making her so vulnerable and alone that she could contemplate of suicide (harming herself and the kids), then I don't understand how his not sharing this plan with Jodha was beneficial.
PS: Now if this is TEDA Jalal, I want one answer. What about his self-talk in hojra that I am getting attracted to you Atifa in front of her fast-drawn painting (again by him)??? Why did he have to put on an act there?
