So there can never be any conditional love that I love you with whole of my heart and so you need to love me in the same way. Love can't be measured but only felt. A person may be good at expressing and he may express his love beautifully with marvelous words and the girl may be shy and not so outspoken and hence might just might not even reciprocate his love with words. At that moment he can't declare that she doesn't love him but will have just watch her eyes, they will speak volumes. He needs to watch her steps, which may have the ridham of her love.
At times even after realizing one loves someone, it is not so easy to accept and express it to the other as there will be hesitation due to circumstances.
For Jalal it was too easy to accept his feelings and convey that to her as just realized it that he feels something special for her which he never felt in his life. As he is the only person (man) in her life. But it was difficult for her to say the same as she was not sure of how her confession will be received by him. She had to assess the circumstances in which he told those words and whether the same will stand for ever as he has many more people in his life and he needs to spare his everything with them as well. So she had to make sure that her expression should not affect his other relations. Just because she doesn't express herself doesn't mean she loves him less. If she had loved him less, she would have left him to his fate (even when he was not realized he loves her) and would not have bothered to save his life from Ben as well as the unknown relative who stays in the palace and trying hard to take Jalal's life. She would not have prepared the medicine and sent it to him at matura. She would not have said I would have died if you were dead.
The love can never be conditional or unconditional. it is just love and its a beautiful feeling felt by heart and soul. It doesn't change with external influence. It doesn't diminish as the time passes or with the distance. One doesn't love based on he gift or status but love due to the peace and happiness the other person's memory gives you. If you get a smile juts by remembering the other person, then its crystal clear that the other person's love is immeasurable. Which happens with both Jodha & Jalal when ever they remember the other.
