The only TV serial that i watch and ardently follow is Jodha akbar. What i loved about the serial was characterization, dialogues and scene execution including wonderful actors. Jodha and Akbar's hatred, friendship, nokjhok, liking, jealousy, passion were so well executed before up until RECENTLY I have seen Jodha's character being assassinated beyond repair.
How many times will she realize that she is in love and later deny it. There is no love in her actions, expressions or dialogues. The Script writers have miserable failed to move her character forward. sHE DOES NOT have to be stubborn to prove that she is a STRONG women. Jodha was so caring, passionate and intelligent BUT this Jodha that i am seeing is coming across as dumb and lifeless.
I cannot connect with her any more.
On the other side, Jalal from the beginning always had strong feelings for her and continues to have those feelings which has been very well executed. Even today he was feeling guilty for what he did and desperate to get back to her. However since Jalal's outburst , there was not a single scene that showcases Jodha's guilty, her pain for Jalal's hurt, her recollection of Jalal's love confession, where as we have seen that Flashbacks in Jalal'smind through out today's episode.
Jodha had a chit chat with her Antaratma after she had her beauty sleep, where she denied her love towards Jalal.
I pray to God to put some brain in SW mind and give us meaningful scenes and it is so dangerous when you take some many creative liberties in killing the characterization of Historic character like Jodha.
Some one please call EKta or zee and ask them to WAKE UP. I love this show and can't see it going down to drains.

To other serial watchers:If you watch any other popular TRP serials, do you know if they always have some meaningless scenes and tracks. Do they ever go wrong in their characterization after 10 months of running the show. Just curious.

I agree, her character development and specifically her feelings toward Jalal has been so inconsistent and rushed. The first time she realised her feelings (when she was upset about Jallu being with Ruks) was well executed, but when she first spoke to Moti about it, it was so barren and void of emotions.
The antaratma talk was alright, but there should have been more emphasis on the extent of her feeling towards Jallu rather than her denying any feelings at all. The FB of her swearing to Devi Ma to give his head was done well, but it should have been used to portray how intensely her hatred towards him had converted into love rather than being used a supplement to prove to Jodha she loves him, when she will only deny it once again!

Jalal's attraction and journey to being in love with Jodha has been excellently portrayed. At the beginning of the serial, after the gangaur puja when Sukanya asks Jo whose face she sees, Surya's or the stranger, Jo sees Jalal, and I thought that was a great way to foreshadow the intensity and passionate love she will feel towards him eventually, but all of that has gone down the drain.

Everyone behind the scenes, the creatives, camera people, and directors NEED to get their heads straight and improve Jo's characterisation immediately. When the Ben track ended, there seemed to be only a small difference in how much Jo had feelings for Jalal compared to how much he had for her, but now the difference is so great and it seems Jalal is madly in love with her, and she isn't even at the stage where she is the least bit of confident how she feels? This is pathetic.

I pray that they will improve every aspect of her character soon. I'm not even going to mention the spoilers going around, I'm not even sure what to believe so I'll just have to wait it all out and see which track they use and then maybe we'll see some drastic improvement. Maybe this supposed separation track is going to be used to show Jo going on an individual soul searching where she finally realises the extent of her feelings for Jalal and stops denying them? I hope so.

Oh and to answer your last question, JA is the only Indian tv show I watch these days, so I'm really not sure. But to give one good example, of which I am still fuming about, is Kayamath. After only a few months into the show I felt they completely butchered both Prachi and Neev's characters. What still bothers me to this day is the deep meaning of the title track and the promos with which the show started and eventually Prachi has no feelings whatsoever for Neev. It really irked me how they could do that. They did the same in KZK with Prerna & Anurag when Prerna fell in love with Bajaj, but I felt that was so much more smooth and it felt real.
Also, a similar thing happened in Punar Vivah 2. Maybe everyone is too lazy after some time to focus on characterisation? Especially when it comes to the character's feelings towards someone.

Just my views, not intending to bash any characters 😳

Well for jodha's love side I have only one song in my mind ''TERA PYAAR PYAAR PYAAR HUKKA BAAR''
her love for jalal come n go n then vanishes like smoke in air.
I have said it earlier also that jo's love for jalal is more shaky than jalal's trust for jo.

Yes... I also watching JA, the one & ONLY serial. ... becoz I luv Akbar frm my sch days... initially they started the show very well ... but nowadays it's pathetic. ... jodha's character butchered badly... after Friday showdown. ... she never thought about Jalaal's pain... about his broken heart... his accusation of infidelity. ... and that soul talk was so confusing. ... jalaal is much more ahead in this journey of love... and the way they portrayed his evolution as a man also good... I always think there r two sets o CVs for jodha & Akbar... otherwise there is no explanation for this fiasco. ...
