But if we look at the way Jalal's character is being shaped, his talk with his mom as to what one should do when the person whom we trust does not trust us back and hides facts from us,and Hameeda begum's answer that we have to wait because only trust begets trust in return..and Jalal's relief yet the unsettled feeling that he has to live with because there was nothing he could do but wait for Jodha to come clear and talk to him..😕
The new Jalal could not hurt his Jodha and yet Jalal being the alpha male that he is could not - not do anything about the current situation in order to make Jodha understand his predicament and hurt.
A lot has been said that how could Jalal tell Hoshiyar that he will spend the night with Ruks and hurt Jodha and himself in turn..however, imagine a shahenshah with thousands of begums and bandhis...he cannot force Jodha to tell him the truth, yet he wants to show her that he is hurt and deeply saddened by her actions...he also has started feeling that when there is no trust then what to say of love? This he himself said to Jodha, 'jab yakeen hi na ho to kaisi mohabbat' or something to that effect..he has started to believe that a bit himself..
Whether he actually spends the night with Ruks or not is a different matter altogether..but in Jodha's presence he probably had to make her know that he is upset with her...and he knows she will feel hurt by that sentence...so he just wants her to think why he is doing what he is doing...
I think we all do not want Jalal to spend the night with Ruks but she is his wife and he is well within his rights to do that in a polygamist setup that existed during that time..
What is sad but true from Jalal's behaviour is that we, in a predominantly monogamist society, are shocked by his sentence to Hoshiyar khan but when a person wants to hurt the person who has hurt him/her the most this would have been an easiest route - to ease his tension concerning Jodha or to divert his mind from Jodha, or to hurt Jodha or to get over Jodha, whichever way we take it...
Till today's episode, Jodha's character was sounding a bit shaky but when she explained Aziza's POV to Jalal saying does the responsibility of trust lie only with the woman in a relationship? Mazhar should also have trusted her, then she started making sense to me..😊 my Jodha is not so flaky after all..😊
It has been so ingrained in our psyche that a woman can do no mistake where trust between a man and woman is concerned because she is always judged for her actions and there should be no possible way wherein she slips. lest the trust erodes...that we have forgotten as a society that our men also need to trust their women implicitly.
When we train our daughters and sisters to trust and love their husbands completely without any other thought, then the complement of the sentence also holds true that we should train our brothers and sons to trust their spouses completely and give some personal space to them so that they do not have to hide things from their men..
The onus of a woman's safety definitely lies with her and therefore she needs to more careful but that does not mean a woman is to be questioned for her actions as if she has committed a blunder..
The tricky situation now between Jodha and Jalal is that their relationship is very new...they haven't consummated their marriage, they are getting closer emotionally but they are not in sync yet. Jodha had said during the hair drying scene that she is not ready to share her personal stuff with Jalal yet (she had meant her dream), this makes everything in their relation very shaky and therefore Jalal feels the immense burden of trusting Jodha and not asking her anything about it. He is venting in different ways by telling her in so many words in the last four / five episodes, by talking of spending night with Ruks, etc..
I am confident that this MU will definitely bring them very close, either physically or emotionally...
I would like it if they become comfortable with each other without thinking about romantic handholds, and eyelocks (how long will they keep on doing this). This can happen only when they think of each other as each other's extensions emotionally and their relationship progresses a bit on the physical level atleast...hugs should be ok...😛, forehead kisses could also be ok..😛 don't know..
They are both antsy around each other...for a couple who have been married for sometime now, even if they are not physically close, they atleast should be comfortable...both are shown to be very confident of who they are and both are matured so I think they can definitely handle that much physical proximity..😛
Let's see what CVs give us over the next month...This track is definitely more than 2 weeks...we will see some good stuff by mid or end of April...(fingers crossed...😊)
