Love story, not war story

Just to remind everyone this is the story of Jalal and Jodha and it's a love story or rather the story of how they fell in love. It's not the story of Akbar the great - so all those who keep clamouring for wars, please settle down 😃 Even the real Akbar didn't always keep fighting wars, u know.

It's a historical love story between a husband and wife who took time to understand and love each other. It's not a modern love at first sight movie. So have patience.

Akbar wasn't born great. He became great over a long period of time. Jalal is just 21-22 in the show. To compare him with a middle-aged Akbar the great is unfair. This is how he metamorphosed and it's a wonderful chance for us to see how an ordinary ruler became a legend even in his own lifetime and is still a legend after so many centuries. It's a wonderful chance to see how a fiery, tomboyish princess became the graceful queen (mother) of Hindustan and influenced such a great emperor.

Just because Akbar is an emperor doesn't mean he doesn't have personal/domestic problems. Any man who has so many wives will have to get involved in smoothing out ruffled feathers once in a while. So please stop criticizing Jalal for getting involved in harem affairs. He became great because he could manage his harem and his sultanate together with ease. 😆

If you have read Akbar-Birbal stories, u will find that people came up with sillier issues to Akbar than Jodha has so far brought up with him. In those days, kings were accessible to people and people went with very minor problems also to the king for redressal, for the king was to them like a father-figure.

Another thing is, people keep changing with time, circumstances and the people around them. I don't know why many people want Jalal and Ruq to remain the way they were at the start of the show. A lot has happened in their lives since then. And they have changed. Jalal has become less autocratic, more in tune with what people want and is now more of a subtle strategist than an overt dictator. Ruq is no longer the Queen Bee to be secure and happy. Now she is threatened and risks losing Jalal and her special audha. She is therefore more insecure and therefore more prone to keying up by others and throwing tantrums over trivial issues.

I would say those who can't see the show should just stop watching it. And let the ones who are following it enjoy the show in peace. I really appreciate DIvya for managing to bring out positivity in even dull episodes 👏

Enjoy the show while it lasts!

and its not 21st century love story with gifts and hugs and kisses...😆

settle down with eye locks, hand locks, dreams...

I agree with each and every reason you gave for people being disappointed with the show. Nice answer.

And they cant show many war scenes in serila (think of the budget too) + its not history they want to show but love story.

Infact I like the way they are showing the slow pace of thier love is because we need to remember in what circumstances they met.

Jalal was arrogent and cruel and he would not tolerate anyone going agsinst hime and he could not tolerate anyone saying No to him.

Jodha equally stubborn, very proud to be Rajvanshi and hated Mughals. So when they were in such state love was far far from them . So CV's had to show the slow pace and guess even in real it was slower than this(thats why Salim was born after 7 yrs)
