Jodha Akbar 55-57: A raging storm - Page 8

Adiana, this Jodha is one of the most poorly written characters it has ever been my misfortune to watch. No wonder, seeing that she is modelled after every mahaan Ekta heroine that one can think of. For me, as Pavitra Rishta is the only Ekta serial I have watched for more than 2 months, Archana and Purvi Deshmukh come to mind immediately: 24 carat halo firmly in place all the time, kabhi galat nahin ho saktin, and mahaan to a fault, with a gaggle of the other characters, their unfortunate husband/boyfriend in the forefront, singing hosannas to them.

What to say of Jodha Begum, who is after all an outsider from a different, hostile race? Think of Hamida Bano listening to Jalal exclaiming, his raw anguish bubbling over once more Ammijaan, aap samajhti kyon nahin hain? Bachcha humne khoya hai!Yeh dard hamara hai! Hamida Bano merely shakes her head disapprovingly as she looks after him. She is not in the least bothered about his sufferings, only about those of her Jodha beta.

And she is not there at all when the miscarriage is discovered and Jalal is near collapse. No wonder he always turns to Maham. She at least holds him close and cuddles him in his agony.

It's very interesting to note that the Begumsa who is 'oh so involved in dusron ki peeda even when she herself is peedith' and thus earning the title of the one who is the most caring, is currently only bothered about 'her brothers' and 'her father' and 'her family' with nary a thought for the father who has lost his unborn child or for the mother who lost hers, and after that one moment where she tells Moti of her 'Sahanubhuti' for Ruqs, she has shown no empathy or empathic anguish for the grieving parents. Even to HB she has not shown any such understanding of the loss and grief of the affected to be parents. Her entire demeanor is that 'this issue is not got anything to do with me except for the accusations on my brothers, father and Amer. Anything else is nothing to me. Your loss is your problem. I'm sorry for you but it's not anything to do with me.'

Mere Jalal ko aise mat bolo yaar.😭 I never thought of him as buddhuram.

From the throne he can see butterflies in the garden? Bahut doorandeshi nazar hai Shahenshah ki.😆

Ah.. true but that would have made the Shehanshah wait 21 more years to find his Dil - Jodha.
A better Balaji's way is to bring up a long lost twin sister of Jodha or Bharmal's secret daughter from a secret wife 🤣 and make her bump into Jalal while he's mourning Jodha's loss on banks of Yamuna

Fortunately, history spared us this Natakiya Rupanter torchure 😆

The only investigation that could have been done was to check if anyone was seen tampering with the kesar in the toshakhana where all the gifts were kept. The only one who has authorised access there would have been Maham, and she would have asserted that there was no such tampering. It would have been a dead end.

Finding that man who sold the dibbi to the cloaked female was a fluke.

Shyamala/Aunty

Right Aunty. But wouldn't there be atleast one guard on duty before Maham entered the gift store to tamper. If the investigation leads to Maham's name Jodha could have got a support. She can then argue, Maham tasted the food, said that she'd take care of serving it and later it was spiced, here also she's the last one to check.. so its your Wazir-E-Aliya's fault in failing her duty, not mine.. Rest HB would have taken care of to get Jodha released under benefit of doubt. 😉

Sandhya, Devki, Hema,



Well, having argued ourselves hoarse on this one, let us relax, and look out for my fun Change of perspective post due on Sunday. I guarantee that it will have you all, no matter if you want to skewer Jodha or Jalal right now, rolling in the aisles!


Shyamala Aunty

Waiting for it Aunty.. I'm loving this discussion as I joined the forum late and missed it

Dear Shyamala!

I was so fascinated by the charm Paridhi Sharma that when I watched the first time only worried about the misfortunes that befell her. :) I am very glad that you again do the analysis and I can read and understandin a new light, in spite of such big problems with your health.

You are welcome, my dear Zhanna! I can well understand how Paridhi bowled you over first time around, for she is really beautiful most of the time.

As for my posts, let me see how long I can keep them up. It all depends on my fingers and how badly the rheumatoid arthritis gets to them. I am having very strong medication for the last 5 days, and that has helped, but it will be phased out over the next 3 weeks, and I have to see what happens then.
