I was yet again in love with Jodha today. She was in a miserable state yesterday. The old Jodha would have been in an exponential GHRINA state after the royal public insult. The new Jodha does not care anymore about her aan,baan or shaan, all that matters to her is Shenshah's pran. We do not see any more self righteous dialogs about how Jalal is not listening to her or humiliating her or marrying Ben. How close was she to admitting that she is in love with Jalal. Yet, she stopped herself because CVs said - 'CUT'. I loved the parallel scene between Jodha and Jalal today. Jalal has been sad and lonely since the fateful love letter night. How easily that hurt was visible to Atga Khan and Hamida also in the past. Its sad though that Ruqu never notices such things about Jalal. I understand he claims about not having a heart. But, when his emotions are in turmoil its sad that the best friend fails to notice it. She is instead celebrating her success that her AUDHA is well protected now. She is happy that Jalal listened to her once again. It did not matter to her that Jalal was not comfortable neither did she pay a single thought to a slight possibility of Ben being naagin. Yet again huge let down in Ruqu character. I was not very clear on why Jalal recollected the two vachan scene of Jodha. Does he feel that he has done everything for her, yet Jodha is not happy with him? I felt his pain when he dismisses Atga Khan abruptly. He did not want another reminder that he is in love or has a heart. At the same time Jodha stubbornly keeps denying every statement of Moti that she is in love. I felt an eternal peace when Jodha was told by Moti that both JaJo are sad after the DHAKKA. A hug to you Moti for doing that. Jodha's genuine concern for Jalal touched me today. Seriously, CVs are so busy collecting TRPs by stretching Ben track that you have forgotten about the love letter DHAKKA track. I know DHAAKA track clear ho gaya to Ben track bhi khatam ho jayega...
MA yet again cleverly understood why Jalal agreed to marry Ben. It was not mainly because of Ruqu asking him to do so. It was more because of Jodha asking him not to do so. He is not happy with his decision, but right now does not have the sanity to understand and accept his feelings. Till he comes in terms with his feelings for Jodha, we might see more erratic decisions made by Jalal. The good part though is that when one person goes berserk, the other person stays calm and gets them out of that situation. Jodha is exactly doing that. She is focused on her mission to save Shenshah and disregarding everything else. I wish she did not pay another visit to SD. I was excited that she already told Jalal about visits to SD, so no track related to that. But, today I was yet again concerned that there might be a track about SD/Jo affair track. She yet again proved that nothing matters as long as Jalal is safe. If Salima had paid a visit to her earlier, may be she would have not visited SD. But, she is so alone and thinking only from heart as her loved one is in danger.
Finally there was some positivity today because Jodha is not alone anymore. Both Hamida and Salima are back in her camp. As long as she only has these two on her side, rest of Agra cannot do any harm to her. The relief and happiness shown by Jodha after Salima support was adorable. She will now have even more strength to figure out a way of saving Jalal. Oh gosh, this serial has come to the old formula of female lead saving the ignorant clueless male lead.
Precap: My hunch says it is a dream. How I wish my hunch is wrong and it is a reality. I badly want Ben to be out of this serial, that lady does not know how to act.
