He wanted jo to speak a few word for herself, wanted to hear her sayingthat she too has a right on jalal as she is his begum too! .. but when she leftsaying nothing jalal was left only with nothingness. Nowadays he is busyunderstanding this moving puzzle, his jodha begum, so everything is leftunnoticed and ben is slithering happily in and outside Agra palace ... Hiscondition is pathetic, neither he can go back to his earlier self where he washappy in a way, knowing nothing about loving and caring , when he used toget pleasure hurting jodha,nor he could get that love and care what his heartis waiting for. Rajat is superb in portraying this helpless Jalal ... don't haveenough words to praise him.Mansi I love reading your update. I always find something new in the episodeafter reading your POV. Thank you so much for that.My English is not very good so cannot word my observations properly, that'swhy I rarely comment. Yesterday's episode was a total waste, but only jalal'schange of expressions through the whole ruk's insult scene forced me towrite down something ... a lot of people are not happy with Jalal yesterday,but I was not angry after watching jo-ruk-jalal scene in fact was crying forjalal. This man is bleeding inside, even jo knows that. He wants to hurt joends up hurting himself, he wants to insult jo, but afterwards that very actgives him sleepless night ... throughout the ben track only thing I waswatching is jalal's situation, the helplessness of an emperor. Jodha with herone act took away his pride, ego, even his logical thinking ... he has noexplanation for the hold she has over him, he is not happy with this fact . ..jodha is his only weakness ... let's see how he turns this weakness into hispower. For Jalal (Rajat) I can forget all the bitterness of ben track.
