and it is said all 3 queens remained friends so that no one else could manipulate akbar

I want to point out at the start that I am not very knowledgable about history, but I HAVE READ all of History_geek threads and replies and posts on them by Kamal too. I think they have done great deal of research and given links so I believe their views.

Firstly we are watching humanization of iconic figures of 450 years back, the times when there was EXTREME RIDIGITY IN RELIGIOUS AND HISTORICAL MATTERS

My view is Rukayya is shown gray not black and she IS GOING TO CHANGE, --- This is her process also

See Rukayya character is a BEK from very young age, she had very important blood line and she was always very pampered
Akbar doing anything in Rukayya's favour would have been greatly accepted in DEK and DEA also. She was from his religion and very influential.
But here we are seeing her human side, I am sure they all felt the same human emotions,
She was his first wife and to see him getting closer to another would have been difficult

Akbar LOVED Jodha because he had NO REAL NEED to give her so much honor and positions and authority. He went against Ulemas for her so many times
He would have had to face GREAT DISLIKE to give prominence to Jodha being of different religion, but HE DID THAT FACING ALL OPPOSITION SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING
You should read History_geek's threads to see WHAT ALL AKBAR DID FOR HIS LOVE OF JODHA, her palaces, her prominence, her position in HIS LIFE

I think Akbar faced bloodshed and betrayal from near ones so many times, Jodha was a catalyst in his life, her liberal views made him mellow to a better human being

I think this is the process of change we are seeing in ALL of them

What information I have read on History_geek's threads, I think they all eventually came to accept each other and it is said that
Akbar ALWAYS TOOK JODHA WITH HIM EVERYWHERE- she was his true love and partner
While he trusted Rukayya and Salima with the upbringing of his heir

Are you aware he sent his another son Daniel to be raised in Amer by Jodha's mother? That shows the respect he had for them

I feel Rukayya character is going to change when REAL TRUTH ABOUT MA COMES OUT, cos she is going to get shock learning she was the murderer of her unborn child
