Hi Mansi
Loved your analysis and prediction. Between you and diksha you have covered all the possibilities.
So here i would like to add one more here which is also previously discussed by all of us .I think though it sounds so far stretched now it could still hold water.
I find ruqs behavior after and before hasan's death very curious. The overt concern displayed by ruk in the dek and the following scenes doesn't fit with the ruq we used to and see her sudden change in demeanor after the demise of hasan which is more like real ruq who doesn't really care for anyones feeling and live in her own selfish world.Add to this the sudden fear she gets on zeenat saying"The child will be only be remembered as jos in amer" and her all acts of extreme possessiveness she display on not even allowing hussain outside the hojra and add to this when jo said accidentally on that day when she was pleading jalal to bring hussain back to her. These all very well could just be red herrings and simply show us that ruq is heartless or a way to give her out .But like you i also strongly believe that for ruqs punishment to be severe she has to do really something legally very wrong .but couldn't somehow accept that ruq will drug jo as it seem far off as jo is barely eating anything and who would help her in this? not hoshiyar. and she couldn't very well go and ask this to zeenat.
So my guess is still there is a possibility that the kids are exchanged knowingly by ruq.
I'm sure she only took hussain and went to her hojra ,but after that when he develop symptoms
may be she in her obsession could have somehow exchanged the children before dek scene and hence it would match with her first noticing the child and her overt concert and her extreme possessiveness in not even allowing anyone to touch the child in fear of discovery.. But if it is true only ruq could say that .May be when hussain (???) is dead she might blurt out that even after exchanging i lost the child and then jalal's anger would knew no bounds .Hereby she would have done something exceedingly wrong yet wouldn't have directly involved in the killing of a child.I still doubt if they will show a queen doing such an act of poisoning.
I know as far as now its too far stretched but the cvs may even surprise us...
P.S.
I don't think zeenat has succeeded in poisoning but also believe the child coming to jo has some significance attached to it.
