Omg Jhanu... can we make this a habit then...expecting you with us, here?

Despite all of the horrors that Ekta is capable of inflicting upon men as a whole, I think she did a decent job of Akbar till the horrible Sujamal track... an entire year, which has to be a record by her standards... after that of course, Emperor Akbar became roadside beggar to get his wife, and his wife eloped with common criminal Khaibar when pregnant!

There was no bringing the serial back after that..

but, before the Sujamal track, it was watchable and Akbar appreciable despite its loopholes!

So, Akbar was Shehzaade & Khalil in MP, was he? Well every serial needs a scapegoat... and Akbar has no Karni Sena or Jai Hindutva speaking up for him.

This is what happens when you are a man who tries to balance two sides - you're sadly sometimes left with none!😕

SANDHYA...NICE ARTICLE...VERY RIGHTLY SAID THAT PEOPLE HERE ARE OUT TO ALTER HISTORY AND IGNORANT PEOPLE JUST LAP IT UP...AND EVEN THE ONES WHO ARE KNOWLEDGEABLE ONES JUST REMAIN SILENT...😕 AND FOR A COUNTRY THAT EARNS A HUGE AMOUNT DUE TO TOURISTS FLOCKING TO VISIT THE TAJ MAHAL...IT IS JUST SAD 😕 YES WE HAVE HAD SEVERAL MUSLIM WARRIORS WHO CAME AND PLUNDERED TIME AND AGAIN, BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN WE WILL NOT GIVE CREDIT TO A GREAT RULER, A VISIONARY WHO THOUGHT MUCH AHEAD OF HIS TIME...AND WHERE IS THE COMPARISON BETWEEN MP AND AKBAR 😭 THE WORLD CALLS HIM AKBAR THE GREAT...AND WE ARE OUT TO DISTORT HIS IDENTITY...OR, WORSE...TOTALLY REMOVE IT FROM OUR HISTORY...SAD

Lavi, read this article. But hold on to your mobile/ipad/laptop tightly before you do so. You may end up smashing it.

SANDHYA PBD IS AN EXCELLENT PIECE OF WORK BY JAHNAVI 👏 SIMPLE YET POWERFUL WRITING...SOFT AND ROMANTIC...SOME THRILLING ASPECTS TOO...IT IS A PITY THAT JAHNAVI IS NOT CONTINUING WITH IT...😭 THE JALAL IN PBD IS VERY MUCH LIKE NJAPA JALAL - GOOD LOOKING, SEXY, RICH, SENSITIVE, CARING, FUN, RELIABLE, DEPENDABLE, NOT SCARED TO REVEAL HIS EMOTIONS...UFFF 😳
