As usual awesome post Aunty. 👏👏👏 I am sorry for the late reply. I had read your post through mobile, but my computer was not working and so was not able to reply. I hope you feel better now.
This was an amazing episode with the highlight being the Salim Chisti scene. 😳
I really felt bad for poor Bakshi In the first scene. Made me wonder about the condition of the women those days. Most of them were married off just for some political profit. 🥱
I loved Bakshi's positive character in these early episodes. 😳 It was nice to see the Bakshi and her Bhabhijaan's bonding. 😳 But these stupid cvs turned her into a negative one later. They are too bad in retaining positive characters. 😡🤢🥱
Every scene which includes Rahim is an absolute delight to watch...😳 His screen presence is just too pleasing and heart-warming. 😳 As for Ruks, I may have felt bad for her in this scene the first time around, but I have simply no sympathy left for her after the HH track. 🤢 Even if I try to, I simply cannot sympathise with her. 🥱 Though I simply loved Jalal's care and affection towards Rahim in this scene. He loves the company of children, just like Jodha does. His respect, affection and gratitude towards his Khan Baba is also evident. 😳
Salima Begum is the most respected and sophisticated character in this show. She is a true guide to Jodha, and yes, a very pleasing and calming personality. 😳 I loved how she described Jalal to Jodha...😳 And also cleared that long-lasting misunderstanding of the DEK punishment. 😆 Jodha is slowly and steadily starting to observe the different shades of Jalal, other than being cruel. 😳
And now, the best scene of the episode. ❤️ There is something divine attached to that ' Allah hu Allah ' Bgm. 😳 It gives a spiritual and divine atmosphere to the scene. 😳 I loved how Baba said, " Hamida Begum aap likh lijiye...Jodha Jalal ki ye jodi taareekh mein Mughal Sultanat ka naam roshan karegi. " 😳⭐️ And then, when he predicted about the arrival of a waaris, I was like " Bacchon ko itna confuse na karo " 😉😆...seeing the confused expressions of both Jalal and Jodha. 😆 And then, that awesome hand-hold with the very awesome Bgm. Jalal really has a great fetish for Jodha's hands. Never ever leaves a chance to hold them. 😉😆
Jodha's dialogues in the next scene were a bit hilarious to me. " Agar aap samajhte hain, toh dubara kyun samjhana padta hai aapko? " 😉😆 and..." Har prashn ka uttar prashn nahi hota hai Shehenshah...kabhi kabhi uttar bhi dena padta hai." 😉😆 The way Jalal said that there is only way to stop Ammijaan with his trademark smirk and mischief in his eyes, anyone would have guessed his intentions. 😉😆 But our bholi Jo simply said, " Kon sa marg Shehenshah? "...not knowing her mischievous Hubby fully yet. 😉😆😆
The episode was good with the highlight being the Aarti scene. 😳
Jodha was rather shocked to hear Jalal's proposal. But, she should have thought that her dearest hubby could think of only teda ways...😉😆 But, she is learn slowly, she is just a novice right now...slowly learning the book named Jalal..😳 And, yes, Jalal knew Jodha's answer already...which means he has understood that his baaghin is different from all his other begums and will agree to a thing only if she finds it alright. He has learned all this from his past experiences with her. 😃
I'm damn sure now that Moti is on Jalal's side only. I mean, this girl is always convincing Jo to go and talk to him. 😉😆
You're right that Ruks is a maniac and certainly laughs like one too. 😆😆 " Insaan jitna hasta hai use utna hi rona bhi padta hai" This saying will prove to be true for her. Jalal hates to be close to Jo, is the joke of the century...😆😆
Yeah, even I can't get why she laughed like that at the end of the scene. 😕 She definitely doesn't understand softer feelings. Only cares about power, power and more power. 🤢 Remember, she herself said few days back, " Humara liye iss haram se zyada kuchh bhi ehmiyat nahi rakhta hai, kuchh bhi nahi" 🥱🤢
Finally, the most amazing scene of today's episode. 😳 Jodha looked so cute while saying, " Inke paas jaane ka mann toh nahi karta hai, par bhagwan ki aarti hai, chalo de hi deti hoon" 😛 Infact, they both looked sooo cute here. 😳 Jalal was so confused as to what to do, and even Jo was confused with his actions. 😆😆 Really adorable duo. Amazing scene, and not to forget the awesome Bgm...😳
I wonder why the mirror didn't crack while Ruks was staring into it. 😉😆 Waise, what to say, fate has other plans for the poor girl. And yes, it is really difficult for me to feel anything for her. But, she has no genuine happiness by this news, I suppose. Just thinking about her being the Mariam-uz-Zamani. Heights of Selfishness! 🥱Anyways, it was a lovely scene which showed the very soft side of Jalal, the to-be father. He looked sooo cute and innocent in this scene. Really felt bad for him.
Javeda is another pleasing personality in the show after little Rahim. 😳 She just brings a smile to the face. 😃
And Maham, what to say about her, she is just pure devilish. Ruks and Maham are alike, hungry for power, though the latter is much more shrewd than the prior. Both are after each other, though none is going to benefit from these power games. 🥱
Episode 54 :
People see in others what they themselves are. This has always been true with Ruks. She has always thought Jodha to be insecure and jealous, just like her own self. 🥱
Hoshiyar is a full-time chamcha of Ruks. I wonder what has Ruks actually done for him that he has so much respect and loyalty for her. 🤔
Hamida Begum always finds a way to praise Jodha. But, I just love her. She is just tooo sweet. 😳
And yes, she's right here, Jodha's entry has indeed been beneficial for Mughal Sultanate and will be so in the future too. I think Jalal means to say that Ammijaan has more liking for Jodha than him. But, that also means that he does have some liking for her. 😉 Maham laughed just because she could think of no other way to react then, I suppose. 😆
Maina is just like this all the time. I think, she should stop worrying about every little thing in Agra. Some things are to be left for fate to manage, as Shaguni Bai rightly says. ⭐️ Her daughter-in-law is wiser than her, I must say. But then, Mainavati also has a mother's heart to think from. 😳
Jodha still doesn't know Ruks and the fellow Agra waasis properly. Moti is right about Ruks. But our Jodha, is just too innocent and good to even think about Ruks reactions and all. She seems to think that people here are just like her. But not so.
The next was added to prove Ruks foolishness, in my opinion. Jodha had, in the very beginning explained this to Ruks very clearly, that she is not interested in Jalal, or for that matter, anything here. Then why on Earth does Ruks says atleast twice that you're jealous because you can't get the powers of Mariam-uz-Zamani now. It was really irritating to see her repeating this again and again, inspite of Jodha explaining it to her clearly. 🥱🤢
Hamida Bano is such a sweetie. 😳 Her bond with Jodha is one to cherish. Her unconditional love, care and concern for Jodha is priceless. 😳 Well, Jodha's changing expressions when Ammijaan expresses her wish to get a waaris from her, are also priceless. 😉😆
Gulbadan Begum really cares for Ruks a lot. Later, in the harem elections also, she voted for Ruks. I loved the way Jalal said, " Issmein kuchh aur bhi hai, Rukkaiyya" when she said that the gift was too small, as if taking Jodha's side in this case. 😳 This whole scene was so awesome. How admiringly Jalal looks at her gift. How keenly he listens to the poem. And the way he said, " Lagta hai dil se likha hai. " 😳
Yes, even I loved the next scene. I loved how Jalal has started thinking so much about Jodha. every action of hers is having an effect on him. And the way he says, " Hum tumhare baare mein nahi sochna chahte phir bhi humein sochne par majboor kar deti ho...tum humari khushi jatane nahi aayi lekin humare bacche ki khushi jataane ke liye tumhara aana, humein choo gaya." ❤️ Simply awesome. 😳
I love Moti's straight-forwardness here. She is frank enough to tell Jodha that she didn't like Ruks behaviour towards her. But Jodha being Jodha, is not at all affected by the negativity around her and tells her to be positive. 😳
The last scene was sooo cute. AkDha nok - jhok after a looong time. They are sooo adorable and cute, we can't help but smile at their antics. 😳 Loved the way they started having light conversations now, like good, old friends. 😳 This will be missed though, for sometime now.
Btw, the Bgm, was soo awesome here. 😳 And their secret eyelocks...hayyeee...
