Dear Friends
I suppose you had a great time watching the Mahaepisode on the 30th April. Well, you may be thinking I am confused, but could it be so that others are also left confused? Just kidding!
Below are just my assessment and views and the will of the CVs prevail, as we know.
Scope & Context: Jodha Akbar episodes as shown by Ekta.
In my humble assessment, yesterday (30 April) is truly the mahaepisode. The episode we were all waiting for so long. That change that needs to come in for J-J to see light in their life, creating a new life for themselves. That moment had come in yesterday's episode. Jalal had his big realization and Jodha too, based on which the rest of the story will now unfold. That which had been separating them time and again, why Jodha was reluctant to return to Agra were all seem to be addressed now. The mahaepisode slated today (1 May) could only be an elaboration of this realization, few formalities and the way forward. The biggest step in their life has been taken now!
I suppose you have now understood why my first statement.
A few quick steps down the lane so far. Though Jalal loved Jodha and trusted her, it was not that it cannot be touched at all. It was vulnerable, based on who is playing it. Mahamanga was the most trusted, a blind trust that he had in her that she could turn him even against his dear Bairam Khan also, but none could turn Jalal against Mahamanga, he cannot even stand a word against her, even from Ruqaiyya, then let alone poor Jodha. So, he could be twisted anytime as she wants by Maham. And such a person enjoying such a trust from Jalal, was playing against Jodha and her relationship with Jalal and in the process Jalal himself. And, the concern and tear in her eyes always drowned Jalal in her favour. She was such a force, that none, practically none even Jalal could not do anything about. And hers was a way, that none can comprehend the evilness behind, always perfectly executed.
Another big impediment for Jalal-Jodha relationship was Ruqaiyya. Though not as dangerous as Mahamanga, she was a menace too by virtue of her unrelenting support for Mahamanga to oust Jodha from Jalal's life. While, Jalal may not be as loyal to Ruqaiyya as to Maham, in terms of placing his trust in her, swearing in for her or standing by her against all odds, still, she being an impediment in this relationship cannot be ignored.
So, the two big factors which caused Jodha most of her pain in life, winning the anger and mistrust of her husband many a time, would be no more so as we see from yesterday's episode. And the beauty of it all is that, given Jalal's trust in them, it had to be told by the very same them' for him to believe! And that is exactly what happened in both cases yesterday. Simply put, they requested him to not to trust them anymore, instead trust only Jodha going forward!! By stating it themselves with their own well substantiated proof, they have brought about the change in Jalal's heart, in favour of Jodha, which was much over due and long awaited by all of us.
So, when Shaguni Bai tells Jodha, that he would never leave her in future, wasn't it true? It was as if she just returned from Agra, witnessing all these, and the changed Jalal.
This that was lacking before, has now been addressed. We still have Adham and Sherif out there to give Jalal their own dhakka. Still, they were not a direct threat in his relationship with Jodha, as against the other two.
As for Jodha, Shaguni Bai's conversation has done the magic. It has addressed the fears of Jodha direct and also has made it clear to her, the place where she belongs to. That, which is her very future!
If this makes sense "Like" me else please do take the liberty to correct me through your post.
So, Agra is now ready, clearing the path for Jodha. Agra is now ready for Jodha as she would want it to be. Agra is now awaiting with open arms to take her in and never to let her go out of it.
While Agra is readying itself, Amer is also. It is also preparing for a warm send-off of its beloved princess to a place where she will be happy, to a place which is very much her own.
Kudos! The turning point in their life has set in. They have now set their foot into the last leg of their love journey.
Future vision of the Shaguni Bai in me:
- Now does it mean that J-J are going to jump into the bed tonight? Well, they would not and they should not in my view, however, cruel it may sound to many of my friends.
- Given my limited understanding, they are still one step before reaching their goal. They are not there yet simply put. They have just got the knowledge now, it has to be put to use next. Unless knowledge is put to use, it is of no use as it is, as we may agree. But, gaining the true knowledge is a crucial required first step, again as we may agree.
- Jodha is unlikely to surrender at the feet of her husband and place all her faith in his will and wish when she reaches Agra. But she would reach Agra anyway for the reason mentioned above. (I sincerely wish that Jodha does not run to Agra emotionally)
- Does this mean then that SR is not going to happen till all is well? Not necessarily. I will come back to this.
- Maha's maha punishment - To me it does not matter per say, what punishment she is awarded. The fact that she is thrown out of Jalal's life is good enough. Now, only a few formalities need be done by the Shehehshah. Maham, were you not taught in your childhood that what you sow, you will reap? Or is it that you were so busy teaching the child Jalal many things, that you forgot your childhood and your learning then? Anyway, farewell Maham, though I was not in favour of your evil deeds, I must still admit that I admire your talent and tenacity to achieve what you want in life.
And I will continue to watch you, knowing you - you will return in your own way! But one thing is for sure that you will never claim your position in Jalal's heart. To you, he does not have a heart, he will practice and follow, what you have taught him and wanted him to be.
Only hope of getting back to your state, even in a limited way, is our most compassionate Jodha pleading for your mercy. Forgive me Maham, for this, I must say that my prayers are to see you banished for good (let me be precise here), before Jodha even comes to know of your state.
- Ruqaiyya - Baby, you are still a baby! I suppose, you will go grow up now. Having shown your rightful place, you would now learn to accept and settle in life, grateful still for not being stripped of your coveted BEK position. And, Jodha would give you anything that you want, but for Jalal!! Just kidding! She would not say so, don't worry. Only few are capable of rewarding so for sacrifice of one's life.
- Jalal dear, I am glad that you have seen the true colours of the key influencers in your life. Your trust in Jodha, the only one trustworthy as you may conclude now, will reach new heights now. And, all these days you had been passionate about Jodha and so searched for her in desperation and begged of her to return to you unable to bear the separation and what not. Now, you are graduating to your next stage in your love life, as I had said before, the final stage. You have treaded a path of thorns all along, with maybe occasional soft grass soothing your feet now and then, but all is well that ends well - you are going to tread a bed of roses soon.
However, caution, you still may have few more things deal with. You have Atagah's loss to deal with pretty soon. But this time, you will have a shoulder to lean on, a lap to put your head into and pour your heart out. Your beloved, who is genuinely concerned about you, will be with you and your pain will be her pain and your tears will merge with hers.
Also, let me warn you of a probable kidnap of Jodha, by none other than Sheriffudin, your yet another loyalist. This track would bring out deeper emotions of you both.
- Jodha dear, you do what you want do. So, no comments from me. I will wait to see what you do. I am sure you will do what needs to be done.
- Friends, here is my final take on this With Atagah loss J-J will bond further. SR also possible after this. Sherif track could be and I wish it would be after this (SR) as I would now like to see the emotions and actions of J-J, who have started living their life of togetherness and drowned in their love for each other.
Thanks a bunch for staying with me so long. Hope to hear from you too.
Though I have graduated into a Groupbie now, I am still constrained by the quota system. So, my response will be accordingly. However, I request you to please consider my "Like" as an expression of gratitude to you for having taken the trouble to visit me. Pl treat it as a BIG thank you from me. Where discussions are needed, you will see me back with my pen and paper.
Thanks again and hearty congratulations to each of you for where we are today on JA!
