Absolutely fantastic post Liz...👏

Agree with each and every word you said...She is searchng for equality in her marriage and why not!!! She is one gutsy lady and that is why he loves her...

He was extremely hurtful that night not just with words but also physically...😭...instigated by his big momma...BTW his big momma's truth is going to come out...😆...Now where will he go to cry? Probably put his head on the shoulders of his wisest friend who was equally involved in this treachery...

And why should Jo not care for her Suja bhaisa ? Doesnot he care for MA and Ruku ?

Fabulous Liz! 👏

Liz, as always love your hilarious takes and you have identified Jalal's faults without one omission. You know- given Jalal's security and spy system, I actually thought he would never find Jodha.

I also agree Jalal has made a mistake, I also feel Jodha has every right to be hurt and upset and should not go at his beck and call, but that does not mean I agree with everything Jodha is doing. That may put me in a camp of women that is taking us centuries back and are against equality in marriage. But ironically, it is the lack of equality that has bothered me the most of this entire track

Equality in the Jodha-Jalal relationship

- Equality for me would be Jodha raising her voice to stand up for herself when Jalal asked her twice to tell the truth instead of saying she couldn't because he was angry
- Equality would have been barging into Jalal's room the way Jalal barges into her and how she has barged in the past- and told him he was wrong to his face and then leave, instead of leaving a letter
- Equality and self-respect would have been to hold her head and high and leave because she wants to and not as she states in the letter because she always listens to her husbandl
- Equality would have been daring to trust and understand Jalal as she expects him to understand her
- Equality would have been in being courageous enough to admit your mistakes openly instead of whispering it to your aatma

That would be a fiesty begum- but now she is showing her fiestyness only when her opposition has crumbled before her!

Equality (or lack thereof) of the CVs treatment of this track

- They spend 90 percent of time showing Jalal's emotions and hurt and have spent very little screen time showing Jodha's hurt and emotions
- The Jodha who was expressive in her anger and in her jealousy is suddenly silent
- They juxtapose Jalal's contradicting emotions with self- talks to understand his internal turmoil though we may not agree with it
- For Jodha they show disjointed events, one day she is sad, the next day smiling, one day she is worried about his life, and the next day she shows no concern- and we are left to interpret why
- Yes, the forum is lucky- we are fortunate to have people analyze and interpret Jodha for us- is the majority of the audience as lucky?

I feel the CVs have not given Jodha equal chance yet for us to hear her emotions in this track- we can only assume them but I think the CVs are about to change that.

This track is almost over- Jalal has already recognized and admitted his fault and Jodha is about to as well recognize her true feelings. They are about to move on- I hope the forum will not forever split into two camps and we will move on as well.

Very nicely written...Very valid points & with a generous and lavish dose of humour 🤣🤣..Love ur writing style 😃
