Thank you Abhay .
I am continuing with my post . While I shared the first half of my post , I still could understand where some of Ruks's insecurities stemmed from . She was insecure about being sidelined in the mahal for being unable to produce a heir . However as I realized that her intentions for wanting a baby was just to have the feeling of ' power ', of ' control ' by gaining the title of MUZ , whatever sympathy I had for her vanished . Her only aim is to snatch away from Jodha and make hers , the gift of a baby that she could never have naturally . Her jealousy for Jodha is ruining her . She declares to Hoshiyar haughtily that he would never understand her intentions behind asking for one of Jodha's twin which is ... to come Mariam - uz - zamani .
Well too bad for you Rukkaiyya . Hoshiyar is extremely fond of the humble , kind and loving Jodha . Hoshiyar has not forgotten the role that Jodha has played in procuring respect for the khwaja sera in the harem and in celebrating his birthday . He indirectly stood up for Jodha and Jalal by being instrumental in changing the rose that Rukkaiyya had laced with a"knock-out" potion , for Jalal to sniff and become unconscious so that he could not attend his own anniversary Jashan . When the time comes , I feel that he may be the one showing his gratitude to Jodha and the Shehenshah by exposing Rukkaiyya's real evil intentions .
It is sad that Ruks is jealous of Jodha . Ruks never understood the meaning of the position of a wife , of a begum . She took her being the BEK for granted , loved the powers that came along with it . She is possessive of Jalal but does not understand the meaning of love . She took their togetherness also for granted and now is in a royal mess .
I have allowed Rukkaiyya's negativity to bother me since the past few days and am not too happy about it . I will credit Lavina Tandon's excellent portrayal of Rukkaiyya for having that effect .
I am ready to ignore the negativity that is yet to come from Ruks , and watch anything that will be shown on the pretext of natakiya roopantar . However I feel that the Creatives could have toned down the negativity in Rukkus character considering the fact that she was the BEK of the Mughal emperor . There was no need to make her appear like a regular soap opera vamp , with vampish expressions , vampish dialogues and even background music .
