people who are asking about taking papita to jungle and back staring...remember he had to convince and convince fast whoever was pulling the string that he is falling for papita hook line and sinker..he had to convince papita he is falling for her coz she has heard him say that i love you a lot jodha beghum...hence his brazen showering of attention to her..looking all smitten by her and letting everyone who can hear know he is going crazy for papita...jalal knew that papita was undressing right near the entrance with a mirror placed to see who comes for him..and he let her believe that he has fallen for her bait hence that stare with a smirk and papita opening her dori with a smile knowing he was looking...
also everyone was gossiping in that hunting trip about them ..the reason he was doing it..the soldiers ,ministers ,harem...
and his self talk ..he was saying he is feeling a pull ..the word was kheenchav not attraction...and this can be taken in 2 different ways...at that point...he had serious doubt on papita...hence he could not take her out of his mind...and until and unless he could solve the papita puzzle he would be restless...hence that talk and making her portrait...also the portrait was for anyone who peeps into his harem...ruqaiyya did and she asked about it...and jalal knew that the person who got papita into harem has to be someone powerful
everything was a piece of puzzle which made sense in the end ..the series of events and leaving glaring clues behind is what jalal was doing so that he is hunted and in turn hunts ...
