@Aunty,

Speaking of wooden expressions, I came across this brilliant post of yours today from October 2013 about the Gordian knot in terms of Alexander and Akbar's lives, both of whom received the title of "The Great", and the much anticipated meeting between Akbar and Pratap.

If you don't mind, I'm posting the link here so that fellow forum members can enjoy reading your great analysis:

Little did you know then that you would be doing full blown analysis on Alexander, did you! 😉

Good Lord, my dear , where on earth did you dig that up from? That was one of my favourites from my Jodha Akbar posts - and for others there too, for it had 94 Likes - and I am very glad that you enjoyed it. Of course I don't mind your sharing it with others here. If they have the time to read it, I hope they like it too.

I think you would now understand, comparing that with the love stories in Porus, how pheeka these are. I am sure this lacuna must have affected the TRPs for this show. Nor does even the best of my posts here thus far even begin to match up to this one. I just don't have that kind of material to work on.

As a matter of fact, I have a mind to go thru that Gordian knot post of mine again myself. Just yesterday, another young friend of mine had flagged a post I had done on Ruqaiya Sultan, Jalal's first wife, called The Ruqaiya Enigma, and so I read it again, and rather liked it!

No, I had no idea I would, nearly 4 years later, be doing full blown analyses of Alexander! Or that I would love this Alexander as I loved the early Jalal.

Now do go and look at my post for tonight, which has some interesting material that has nothing to do with its title!

It just came up when I was searching for an old post of mine! It's a shame I wasn't on the forum or I would have been able to enjoy your posts much more. I discovered and became a great fan of Rajat's acting and the character development of Jalal (until the script went haywire of course).

Yes, there's no comparison in terms of the love stories in both shows but then again Porus wasn't meant to be one. The CVs could have done better, of course. In Jalal's character we saw how big his heart really was that he could love Jodha fully as his true soulmate, but still also love Ruqaiyya as his childhood friend and first queen/wife. If she hadn't become so insecure and started scheming she would have continued to hold that place in his heart.

I am glad to hear that you love Alexander as much as you loved Jalal, because your love and admiration for the latter is no secret. Did you also feel like a doting mother to Jalal as you do with Alexander?
