When the precap shows Jodha breathily remembering her Soul Talk Sapnas in such detail, I realised that ... oh haaan! ...only a person whose soul has left her body can be part of any such discussion. Her soul wanted and waited for him to call her back. It was the only thing she was ready to come back for. Okay. But now that she's back, what can she do with this memory? Because back here on earth, Jodha still can't connect the dots like all heroines.
Rewinding ... 'Shahenshah! Aap Yahan??!!' Jodha startled to see Jalal in her hojra again. He says he can leave...she grabs hold of his arm...don't go...
He looks at how she held him, so she abruptly lets go. It's impertinent even for her to prevent the Shahenshah from leaving if he so wishes. He was the Emperor to her in that moment. But to him, she was the wife whom he doesn't want to leave.
Then the foot bath and Jodha broaches the Bakshi Bano topic. He gets up to leave, she holds his arm in the same way... but different result. Now he IS the Emperor. So a confused Jo goes to Ammi Jaan and asks her to intervene. The BB case is a family issue for Jodha, but an imperial issue for Jalal. BB knows this only too well and treats Jodha as a representative of the Mughal empire, while calling her Bhabhi Jaan.
Out of body experiences are helpful in bridging the emotional gaps. They seem to leave lingering memories and vestigial feelings of having been part of some epic love connection. But fully conscious moments will tend to always put Jodha in the path of some looming disaster. It's enough of a challenge trying to discern which Jalal she is dealing with - Jalal the man, or Jalal the Shahenshah. She always begins every encounter with him by treating him as the Shahenshah first and that, is a good place to start. Jodha has an instinct that preserves her dignity. She is not the kind of person who takes a leap of faith for some ephemeral (to her way of thinking) love vibes. No, she is practical and this love will have to be proved to herself in down to earth ways that she can grasp. -Tangible irrefutable evidence that there is a love that she needs to acknowledge to herself and to him.
Don't ask me what that would entail...except ... it will involve more sacrifice, more heartache...but it will be worth it.
