Take 5: An end of an era; update on Friday's episode on page 15 - Page 4

What a wonderful double take divya ,circle indeed is complete now for both of them ,finally mother got her son's love one more time and at the perfect time ,son got his mother who he lost in power hunger game . Haven't watched the episode yet but I am sure my judgement is clouded as we think too much on what we want to see but thanks to my kiddo I got new vision ,he did't watch the epi but I was watching promo and he came by ,usually I don't let him watch but it was few min so I allowed him ,1st he was happy that I got to watch it some video ten he became serious after watching scene between maham and jalal ,then when they showed it again he just grabed my face ,touching my nose with his just sat there for 5min with out blinking he kept staring ,I don't know what he saw or what he understood but I guess love has it's own language .and that made me I emotional .

Divs today I stand by all that I said in the throne burning epi and since - the track starting with Atifa till now has been about a resurgent TE with the compassion of Akbar - and every indicator has been there if one links all of the kadis together.

Starting with the Atifa track and its finale - Akbar exposed MA's shenanigans yet was not bitter or hate her - The Emperor had to do justice to a traitor and the Son wanted to do his duty to his Mother from committing more sins.

Next was the death of Adham - the Emperor again meted out justice but the son was there to provide the mother the support that she needed.

Next was when MA wanted to go and see her son - The Emperor let her - so what made the son come out on the terrace overlooking the place where the body was kept ???? Once again the son had come to provide the mother whatever support he could - and what did he get - a curse - yet even that did not anger the son who asked that the mother be taken away - becoz she was falling in the eyes of the world by the minute and the son did not want that for her.

Next we see the man sitting in front of the throne he is tied to and expressing his inner turmoil by burning it ??? - Was this a man running away from his reality, his responsibility, spineless et al ????? - To me it seemed to be a man finally facing the reality that the throne would always be the lens used by all to view their relation with him - a man lamenting for at least one person who could see HIM without this lens - as he had hoped his Badi Ammi did but now had proof that his thinking was wrong - and this man was then consoled by that one person who actually did see her relation with him as only man and wife (though for her the man and the Emperor are the same yet their relation is not based on the power of the throne becoz for her he would always be The Emperor with or without the throne)

Now we saw MA asking Jodha that was she capable of getting her the Son - this was in effect a msg from MA to Akbar not a challenge to Jodha - but couched as a challenge since MA understands Jodha so well and knows that Jodha can never let a challenge go - a desperate call from the mother who had finally realised her actions and their consequences and how despite all, the Son had never slackened his duty to the mother - the mother was now desperate to know that she had been forgiven by the son.

And the Son came - when he realised that it was the Mother who was calling, he came, when he realised that it was the Son who was uppermost in her mind and her heart and her thoughts, he came - till that last call of eagerness was made he waited but once he knew that the lens was broken, the Emperor stepped back and the Son came forth.

All along, this has been about the resurgence of Akbar - as the compassionate Emperor who had the ability to take a hard stance yet had the humility to bend in compassion when the situation demanded - this has been about an Akbar who had the ability to take the pain of others into himself and help them heal - this has been about an Akbar who is truly great - In fact, this, has been the Journey of Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar from being just the Emperor of Hindustan to Akbar the Great.

K guys I have not seen the epi yet, m getting mixed reactions in the forum, some liked some thought it was ott. ..I feel it must have been rajat crying for ashwini as he was very close to her and she was more of a mother and a friend to him..I think rajat will have hard time getting over this...he shud take a break, maybe leap will help him to take it easy! ..I will watch it later keeping rajat and ashwini bond in mind!

Let me your thoughts once you see the episode

Wow! An era comes to life with your words. It is also poignant because an era came to an end today. The death of Maham was a turning point in the real Akbar's life. It brought an end to the petticoat government, henceforth Akbar would be largely independent, even brazen in defying authority like the Ulema.

The reel Maham's life has been beautifully detailed by you, a character portrayed with such magnificence by Ashwini. Really sad that it is the last we will ever see of her in Jodha Akbar.

Now we await the future, and will live the serial, one episode at a time.
