@Rashmi and Sindhu,
Even if it's only a few weeks, Jalal's behavior towards Jodha is unacceptable. She is not an ordinary woman. She is his wife. She is his queen. She was the MUZ, even if for only a few days.
She has also suffered the loss of twins like him. In fact, a mother's loss is greater and cannot be explained in any words. Someone had posted a few days back that Jalal lost the future that might have been but Jodha lost the past and present that she shared with the children right from the moment of their conception till their death.
My problem with this Jalal:
1. He has failed as a father to protect his children. He gave in to the zid of RUq and allowed an outsider (even if a relative) free access to his kids.
2. He has failed as a husband to JOdha by:
a. Giving enough leeway to Ruq so that she could easily manipulate JJ and take away one child
b. Not being able to do anything to let Jodha keep the twins for at least a year till they were nursing
c. Not being able to do anything while Ruq publicly kept insulting Jodha and didn't let her even touch Hussein
d. Not doing anything much to investigate how the fire happened or how Hasan suddenly took ill and died. We heard he was doing some investigation in this regard but nothing ever came out. Hasan's death remains a mystery.
e. Not supporting Jodha after both her kids died and allowing Ruq to publicly accuse Jodha of killing her kids. In fact, if anything, Jalal himself joined the tamasha and accused his wife of being a sort of nymphomaniac who left her child to die whilst enjoying herself with her husband.
I can understand Jalal is distressed by the loss. It's a major loss to anyone to lose much-awaited babies suddenly.
I can understand Jalal's anger with Allah, just as I could understand Jodha's anger with Kanha. But did Jodha at any stage point any finger at anyone - from Jalal to Ruq - of letting her babies die? Not even when she was shattered by Hasan's death did she ever accuse Jalal of carelessness in providing security or ask for Hussein back.
But Jalal didn't take a minute to turn his back on her - I cannot even begin to list all that Jodha has done for him till date. And accuse her in such filthy terms.
Yes, I would have understood if Jalal had become numb with shock and withdrawn totally from everyone and become hard as stone. WITHOUT accusing Jodha of killing her babies. THAT, Sindhu, would be understandable.
Then I could have appreciated the ruthless, heartless Jalal who emerged from the ruins of the Jalal who was trying to become Akbar. I would have SUPPORTED him.
But this Jalal cannot be JUSTIFIED in any manner. I wish to publicly ask ALL here that
if YOU were in place of Jodha, would you be able to understand your husband's pain and support him and love him and believe in his love for you, even if he accused you and treated you as Jalal did?
I don't mean to hurt anyone here. I just want you to look at the situation from Jodha's POV. She is hardly 20. She has been through a horrible pregnancy, a terrible childbirth and now lost the kids she bore with so much pain. Is she NOT deserving of her husband's support at this juncture?
I want to know if Jalal cannot SUPPORT her NOW, what is the use of all his declarations of love and support to Jodha? He should have let her die when she wanted to, after Hasan's death. Did he keep her alive then so that he could KILL her himself with PLEASURE NOW?
All those who say they are happy to see this ruthless JAlal. I want to ask you: Is this ruthlessness or cowardice at its worst?
Ruthlessness is a mind game, as much as courage. A ruthless man has NO fears and can face anything, including his PRIVATE demons. JAlal here is a fearful man and battling his demons. He is running away from his life situation and unable to come to terms with reality or act with any sense of responsibility. If he were really TOUGH, he would be able to contain his grief and support Jodha and take them both through the traumatic experience.
To me, the Jalal I saw post HAsan's death - HE was TOUGH. He was BRAVE. He could swallow his tears and lend his strength to Jodha.
This present Jalal - he is just an adult version of a school bully who gets pleasure by harassing those weaker to him (Jodha, due to her love for him and the twins) and is fearful of those who are stronger than him (Ruq, due to her crazy obsession for power and her freaking out at the loss of that power).
I am NOT looking forward to his reunion with Jodha. Or any Pilgrimage now. Because what does that mean to Jodha? Nothing. She has seen her husband take her and leave her AT HIS WILL. The Q she asked him in Mathura - what was her ASTITVA - remains UNANSWERED even TODAY.
When someone is hurt, they need first aid before anything else. If first aid is not given, all state of the art treatment later may not be enough to save them.
PS; Sindhu and Rashmi and all other friends - Sorry guys, Nothing personal. But I cannot accept Jodha being crucified like this for no fault. It ESP hurts when I can see that the woman who REALLY DESERVES to be punished is still going around strong with a smirk on her face.
