Charu,

I too , feel on same lines.
Akbar was a mystic and he was a strong adherent of Sufis.
A person like him shown subjected to the fancies of Kaala jaadu is ridiculous.
I demand some intelligence at least.

Like Bea also said last night, Akbar also has his share of faith in his God, same as Jodha's. But the CV's / writers , won't think twice, with the depth we are thinking here.

I am not happy with it but taking it with a pinch of salt. I still wish, this time, we see it the other way, that is, Akbar saving Jodha. I hope this black magic will be shown to get backfired finally.

Thanks for the update Abhay.

Kudos to you for watching and sincerely writing a gist of the current track. 👏 👍🏼

Your comment 'overall fine episode but intelligence of the leads compromised here', is absolutely cent per cent right. This is exactly what I am irritated with : The portrayal of both Jodha and Akbar. Both of them appear to be brainless, mere puppets under the hands of witches. Won't the council of ministers wonder why their Shehenshah is behaving weirdly and get to the crux of the matter?

I can imagine Rukaiyya's expressions and outburst after hearing Hoshiyaar's 'truthful' opinions under the influence of the witches' spell. I was expecting something like this, I knew that Witch Sr wouldn't let Hoshiyaar escape easily, for insulting her with that slap.

I am giving myself a temporary break from watching this madness. Will continue reading your updates and comments shared by all forum friends on your threads. Unlike several of you here, I am unable to take this track with a pinch of salt and ignore the nonsense. Hence decided to stay away.

The one aspect that made me happy is the re-introduction of Maharana Pratap. I am hoping that it is dealt with some amount of logic and respect.

Yes..
I have read that account. The tomb being mentioned here is very heavily claimed to be that of Sahib-i-Jamal whom Salim loved very dearly. She died in 1599 and the tomb also bears the same date of the person's death who is buried there. There is a 5 page account about this tomb where some author (i think a Pakistani author) has written more details about this tomb to prove it to be of Sahib-i-Jamal. The book's name is not in my mind, but the book is of 1964-65.

Salim did not hate his father for killing Anar. It was complete politics of throne, so much politics that one can not imagine. Salim is called a bechara and a soft person and a lover boy, but in actual sense, he was a very cunning and clever politician at the same time. I used to have the same impression about him initially that he was a soft person who thought ONLY with his heart and not mind, but that perception is broken now. His life from 1597 to 1607 is so much full of politics. First with Akbar and then with his son Khusrau. He even got the brother of Nur Jahan executed in 1607-08 when he sensed that her brother was involved in a conspiracy against him. After Akbar , next is Salim on cards, not getting time, else i would have posted about this Nur-Anar-Salim, etc.
