All I want is better story and script that has logic

I do not care if its akhda or sanar or DEk focussed better script is all I demand and logical story set in 16th century etiquettes
Further regarding Akbar's fav wife some books say Ruq some say Salima others say Jodha so no one knows for sure and I do not care about it. I know Akbar was no lover boy like a Salim/Jehangir/Shah Jahan/Baz bahadur types whose love stories became a fable and were told and printed in story books and got imprinted in history without a film/serial.
I had never heard Akbar loved any wife till a Jodha Akbar movie. But I definetly had read in comics and books about Salim anarkali, roopmati baz bahadur and mumatz shah jahan and Jehangir nur jahan and even heard stories of them from others. Even school books mentioned only nur jahan and mumtaz among Mughal wives and till I watched movie Mughal e azam in early 2000s I had no clue a Jodha bai existed who was Akbar wife. After the movie Jodha Akbar controversy I came to know Jodha Bai was Jehangir wife not Akbar wife and Akbar wife was Hira Kunwari.
What I want to find is if Akbar loved Jodha so much why has he not mentioned even her name in Akbarnama?(or any wife for that matter.) That only means there was no serious love story on its like a normal marriage arranged for political reasons most probably. And a Shah Jahan ensure majority of his kids came from his beloved wife mumtaz but Akbar had kids from cocubbines and other wives too. And Akbar was an Casanova almost all life especially till his early 40s bringing woman he loved/liked in his harem and pleasuring himself whether those girls wanted or not or whether girl was anothers wife or not. The same held true of other Mughal emperors as well especially a Shah Jahan who was known for his love for mumtaz after her death he totally became a Casanova like Akbar.
But definitely filmmakers and serial makers find love in every relation they have made a love triangle of man bai salim and anarkali all know man bai and salim was arranged marriage and anarakli may/may not have really existed. Next they will have love triangle of man bai jagat Gosain and salim and then quadrangle of MB, JG and NJ with salim for sure.
So I will forget real history and enjoy this show as a fiction Bollywood masala with a pinch of history here there. 😉 I do not care who loved whom and why? For me this is a saas bahu sazish Bollywood potboiler on whom Salim gets and whom Akbar loves 😉 History anyone? Whats that just enjoy the show while it lasts 🥳


@bold blue- Watch Akbarkhan's Akbar the gr8 90's ..it was much before to AG's JA 2008 😃 see how he portrayed Jodha-Salima-RQ relationship wd AKBAR 😉 That was only AKBAR the gr8 based on akbar's achievements but still JO was called as AKB's DIL ki malika 😳 i dont remember the epi nom or i would hv mentioned here 😛 ...but it was mentioned in forum u can search or watch AKBARkhan 's AKBAR the gr8 (which was made much before to jodha akbar movie 😃)

MUZ is indeed mentioned in Akbarnama. The name Jodha is not there but MUZ indeed is.

Yep MUZ there but not her real name, that is why name confusion

I am not talking of only name mention if you read jehangirnama he says he told NJ about his illness etc etc personal matters and shah jahan mention about mumtaz

yes i do! because in reality they were close! ruk was plain looking and could not give jalal a child still he was kayal of her intelligence and wits and often consulted her..the reason he was close is that they were cousins and got married at such a young age that they grew up together and accepted each other..ruk never objected to him being physically involved with younger begums and concubines as her position was secure and jodha was never a threat to her as the real HK was intelligent and diplomatic as well. she very well knew ruk's position in harem and very tactfully she made her position and ruk never came in between her and jalal..jagat gosayini was more of a strong headed female who was not in good books of ruk that is why she got khurram from her and akbar could not say no to anything ruk wanted..but she did not do the same with salim, in fact she actually loved salim and this whole apheem thing is complete NR..my whole point is i want to see the reality..!


Hi Mandy,
your position on Ruks vs MUZ is clear and you are entitled to your views. However the fact is that the lines you have quoted above in red are exactly from the the twentieth wife, a masterful novel written by a very talented fictional writer who has taken many liberties with history. We do not know much about " real " ruks at all in the history books. Of his 3 main consorts we know the least about her except that she was his first wife and had the designation of chief consort.

And think about what you said about Akbar...that he was not a joru ka ghulam yet at the same time you say Akbar could not deny Ruks anything? What does that make him if not a joru ka ghulam. The only difference is here it is a different Joru...the one you like better😊 In Siyasat, infact Akbar is shown on an artificial pedestal but at the same time completely under the control of the scheming Ruks... not realisitic at all.

As for his relationship with MUZ while there is no explicit reference by his historians, there are hints everywhere from monuments built for her to the primacy of the Ameris in Akbar's life. But even that is not the point... the show is about Akbar/ MUZ love story... Let there be another show dedicated to Ruks/Jallal love story. Why give us this crazy version of a drug peddling , scheming, eavesdropping " best friend " of Jallal that only hogs screen space and creates unimaginable negativity. No I definitely cannot stand seeing any more of Ruks /Jallal and I know for a fact that this angle will not improve this show at all

I think one important point is being lost in all this discussion n that is viewers as a whole, simply HATE Ruku, there's no denying that, at least the one in the JA show.
In all my history classes I've never ever heard of any Ruquiya , as wife of Akbar, closeness to dur ki baat n we'd to read in detail ( West Bengal Bengali medium history syllabus ) how much the Ameris dominated both the political n personal angle of Akbar's life n how his marriage to Amer princess opened up a new chapter of harmony between two different cultures n religions in our country n strengthened Akbar's reign manyfold.
Not a single word ever wasted on Ruks. Closeness to dur ki baat.
In fact, when I heard her name in JA, I was absolutely sure that she's a completely fictional character who was brought in the serial with the sole purpose of plotting n planning n creating angst in Akdha story line. I was shocked to know such a woman had really existed in history.
No mention of any actual closeness between Akbar n Ruks is mentioned by any reknown historian nor are there any tangible structural proofs of Akbar having any preference for her, the way we find in case of Jodha, in the form of all those imperial palaces built exclusively for her n the powers she enjoyed.
I get that some one might prefer Ruklal , but claiming that their closeness was a historical reality is just too much distortion of truth.
There is a fanfiction section in IF to write all that, you know. 😉

@ Ela di, once again great work. 😆 Hawa mein baat is the exact description.
I'm always in the favor of truth , koi proof dikhao to mein vi manu. 😉
Anyways, I've always said , viewers signed up onto this show to see Akdha love story , they'd not be logically interested to see the political ongoing of Akbar's reign to any detail, if that doesn't have any direct impact or relation with the story line of Akdha. Why, make a show on Akbar the great Na ! We Akdha lovers can then safely n happily NOT watch it. 😃
But selling us any thing other than Akdha in show of the name Jodha Akbar n which was launched n promoted with the promise to show us the love story of Akdha n most of the people started watching it because of Jodha Akbar movie that was an out n out love story of them , is just cheating n betrayal with us. You see you can not serve me chowmin if I've ordered for egg roll, though both might be tasty.
Rukaiya should've been promptly side lined once she'd done her job in the love story of Akdha n gracefully parted into oblivion n viewers would've been only too happy to see her go.
Instead the creatives decided to keep her around, give her more n more screen space n spread overall oppressive negativity.
Result- downfall of JA.

copying frm one of my post
History is itself a vry complex subjct,, we just
only can assume frm various doc, sites,
writtens, manuments etc. luvstries of
historical chrctrs only can assume frm
momuments, cronicles, titles, power etc. lyk
Taj consider as the proove of Shahjahan-
mumtaj luv, The extream power of noorjahan
shws her hw jehangir depends & trust on
her. Dan why same nt goes wid MUZ-Akbar..
Wht this luvstry lacking dat people still hv
doubt on dem
1) Muz had max palaces/zeenana of her
taste whr at Agra or FPS or Allahabaad Fort
2) MUZ given many titles, 2 of them bestowd
bfor salim's birth
3) Its documented dat akbar's religious
views get strt chnging aftr thr marrige
4) She ws most high rankd woman in harem
as well as in mughal court
5) Many cronicles adress MUZ as Ak's fav
hindu wife.
6) Akbar hs great respect & trust on her
family relatives.
7) She ws the only lady who enjoyed much
freedom lyk doing ovrsees buisiness
8) She only enjoyed the power of giving
farmaan wid HB duing Ak reign.
9) She ws only who buried close to him.
Are dis datas r nt enough to shw deir spclly
bonding? why people still put finger on thr
relationship? may b bcoz eithr they don't
want to see or don't want accept.
Nxt cum to Rukaiya Sultan. Sum says ruku
ws his beluved, why? whr its written? which
cronicles shws it? Wht achievement or titles
she had during Akbar reign? Thr is vry less
mention of ruku in akbarnama. Dan why dis
ques cum? just bcoz she ws his frst, most
long living chief consort? ok fr me atlst its nt
a proper proof of any luvstrt. May b dey r
close frnd bt nt luv.
Now come to Ak, many says Ak ws nt a
luverboy. who gonna see him personally? If
cruelest of mughal aurangjeb hd a luvlyf wid
his frst wife dan why nt Ak? Aftrall he is
much more sensible dan anyone of his aftr
gen. May b he is nt a typical luvr lyk salim or
shahjahan bt he didn't hs any luv or special
feelings fr anyone, I dnt beilve. He is nt one
woman man true, Hw can b he whn othr
wives also need him. Bt luv nt only depends
on physical relationship, luv is abt trust,
care, completing each othr, undrstnding
which all Ak-MUZ had. Ak ws the strongest
emperor no doubt dats doesn't mean strong
man doesn't need luv, care, supprt, advice.
No mattr hw strong a person can b. he/she
can't spend his /her whole lyf nrmally widout
a true luv.

The simple thing that is clear from the TRP charts is that - JA always raked HUGGEE trp when Akdha love story was being built n dealt , the moment Akdha was side lined , immediate downfall of the show occurred. So the solution is just too much simple, it's staring us in our face, Akdha first, Akdha in the middle n Akdha last n kick out negative characters that viewers are clearly not liking.
In it's golden legendary trp days, JA never focussed on Akbar's political reign as the main story line, yet that never was a problem for the trps, in fact , the show just reached newer heights each day. So, it couldn't be possible that viewers are wanting more focus on Akbar's political Dos. Therefore that's not the problem here n the solution too, couldn't lie there.

Please provide us with the names of books which says about Ruqlal relationship. .I gave mandy name of a most renowned work which talks about jodha's influence on him. .now it is ur turn. .you have often talked nonsense about Ruku. .infect i remember u once wrote that Ruk issued farmans but u never provided any proof or copy of any farman issued by her. .now i request you to tell the name of the book which talks about Ruqlal relationship because akbarnama keeps quite about her. .
