Dear Author Sahiba clarify this for me please:

Age of the following:

AMK: 25
Heera: 17
Shezade: 34-35
Aziz: 17
Mahendar: 18
Khalil: 26 27 or even older... I've always thought that's another reason he's refused to submit to a younger AMK
Ibrahim: 25 which is why he calls Akbar by name ... that and they also developed friendship first, master student relationship later.
Sayyid: 17
FS: 75-80
Chacha jaan 75-80
Bindiya - 14-15 (Dhani slightly older)
Gauri - 30
Mohan, Daya, Bajrang, Maharaj kaka all middle aged 😊
Vaid kaka, Ratan Kaka - 60ish

These are the ages I've had in mind when writing the characters, though I've never actually explicitly stated them except for a few 😳

Ok Author Sahiba, I have somehow composed myself to write this:

What a contrast between C44 and C52!!! Where they were then and where they have ended up now (sad face)

We have three villians: Khalil, Mahendar and FS.

Khalil has been put in the prison cell, no discussion of him here! Good for us!

Mahendar kept in the palace for the next two weeks, until the duel. So, the only villain not in the cell is FS and he is taking full advantage of this freedom. Does he really hate the Hindus that much?? He is making every effort to taunt the Shezaade so he punishes them to the fullest. I have lot of unpleasant words for FS (wicked, despicable, evil, hideous) but will let go here.

Shezaade: I have lost all respect. He is the prince, future king, not a common man. He should know how to keep his emotions in check, should control his rage, desires, temper...Just because FS taunts him does not mean he has to act on it. Doesn't he have the decency to investigate the issue before becoming a rageaholic. He knows FS is not one to be trusted as he witnessed it the day before in the court. He befriended Khalil even after he was told not to, so why is the Shezaade listening to FS atrocious accusations against AMK and Heera. What he has done to AMK is unacceptable and inhumane

He probably would not have done what he did with AMK in the prison cell had he not visited Heera. It was Heera's very presence, innocence, honesty, her pleads made him return her prized possession the lens!

I had to stop reading 3 times, when the Shezade starts whipping AMK because I was visualizing Heera witnessing this brutal/barbaric act, she would have fainted watching her love being beaten like an animal. AMK keeps thinking about Heera, at least she is not seeing this heinous crime, but she found out later. Cannot express in words how she must have felt when she heard of this brutal act inflicted on her husband. Being the healer herself, she would have felt helpless, powerless, weak...

AMK has always said he is only human, which clearly is visible in this chapter.

That is why I said in one of the previous threads - AMK, Heera, his men, her people should go far away from the capital, away from the Shezaade!

He is jealous of AMK and Heera! He does not like the fact that AMK has another person in his life more valuable than the Prince! Why cannot he understand AMK has a personal life besides work!

In the end Love will prevail! Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort come to my mind. Harry had what Voldemort didn't have Love of his parents, love of his mother especially!

Let's keep our fingers crossed, very slowly they will come out of this difficult situation.

I have said this before, will say it again and again, Lashy you are an amazing writer! Every word, every phrase you write is a masterpiece! They are so powerful, I was in tears that whole day! The reason we feel for AMK/Heera is this: unlike other novels I have read here in the IF, you have put a face to the names of the leads. Whenever I read the chapters, their face is depicted in front of me. The picture is so alive, we have become the part of their lives!

Thank you for keeping all of us entertained. This is absolutely a Romantic/Political thriller masterpiece!

Thank you dear. This is more than what I wanted to know. It just helps me better understand their relationship/sentiments when I am reading the novel!

So FS is older than I thought. Why does the Shezaade has this guy in his court anyway? 😡 He should send him to Hajj pilgrimage!

@Bold: Yes this makes sense

Do you realise that all Farooq Sahib did was actually tweak the words in a negative light?

However, everything that he said

1) Was NOT entirely wrong!

2) And had NO real way to check up on facts!

For instance,

a) He said that AMK Heera are garnering Hindu support - which is actually true. They are! I am sure even Shehzaade senses it.

b) He said that AMK now has an army of men who aren't afraid to publicly defy him in court - which is an exaggeration, but not entirely untrue. AMK has only a 100 odd men who'd lay their lives for Shehzaade... but given an option - they're devoted to Ustaad (Of course they are not looking to rebel against Shehzaade in anyway... they have noble intentions and only spoke up because they feel their Ustaad has been unfairly singled out... but it's still true that AMK enjoys their overall loyalty more than Shehzaade does.)

c) He said AMK has changed after Heera came into her life. Which is also in certain (positive) ways true and Shehzaade can see it for himself. (But was all presented by FS in a negative light)

d) He said Shehzaade appears weak in front of Akbar - which I'm certain was a hidden fear in Shehzaade all along. Now being the egotistical man that he is - who would a prince ever go and ask such a question for verification?


So you see - FS played his cards very very well! 😊

According to what I've read and gleaned...
In the entire Mughal lineage - Humayun and then to a certain extent, Akbar, were the only rulers who didn't allow the 'religious' heads to interfere in politics and political decisions. All other rulers were socially/politically/religiously bound to heed these religious heads and give them much importance. They were as important (or in Aurangazeb's case, I feel, more important) than the queen!

Arre... I'd mentioned it earlier too that she was in her thirties (in a discussion)... if she wasn't that old at least, she wouldn't be able to be chief-maid and command the respect that she has amongst all other maids whose ages would range between 12-50 😳
Come to think of it, only 10-ish odd years older than Heera 😳
