Hi , Everyone ! Didn't make a post for a while to express my POVS over the show and it's tracks shown or should I say , I didn't even want and bother to ! Here the reason is :

"There are certain themes of which the interest is all-absorbing , but which are too entirely horrible for the purposes of legitimate fiction."
- Edgar Allan Poe

I couldn't have expressed myself better then these 3 lines of Edgar's quote ! Fiction works like jokes : It's good when your jokes and funny anecdotes are really effective and hilarious but it has it's own doses not to be exceeded otherwise you become yourself a joke to be laughed at ! And that's unfortunately the case of our show ! I am not gonna blabber anymore with my POVS but this time with the male lead himself's , Rajat Tokas attraction toward historical characters even though not having any accentuated knowledges over them , why he loves to act into historical shows , why not enacting that much into daily soaps , the comparison between them and saas bahu sagas , his opinions . . . ! These are quotes from his first interview segments when he had been recently chose to portray the role of Emperor Akbar .

(In bold (red) are those revealing and very telling passages that I have highlighted and underlined , useful for comparison with the current Emperor Akbar's portrait !)

"It's not about coming back to historical shows or I am in love with historical characters but yes it's true that I like these characters as I love playing a man. I did Tere Liye where I played a grey character which was very different from Prithviraj and Dharam Veer.

- My question : When a male actor is portraying a strong and powerful historical character , it's all about MAN , the strength , capacity , will and ambition and success , how he made his place in the history with his admirable and successful accomplishments (battles , wars , conquests ) , that's what generally a male historical character enacts ! Is the current Jalal enacting by anyway a MAN ? Is he being shown as a praiseworthy and venerable character ?

Ekta experimented with me but then I wanted to do something more powerful and I am happy that Jodha Akbar was offered to me. I don't think I will get to play such a powerful character in a daily soap. I am not saying that daily soaps are boring but it is something I don't like. Historical shows are very different from daily soaps and I can say that as I have done three historical shows. In daily soaps you are just an observer or onlooker. You don't have anything to do in a daily soap and yet you are the main lead of the show."


- My question : if the male leads in daily soaps are just observers and onlookers of female performances and accomplishments , what the current Jalaluddin Mohammad Akbar is ?

Rajat adds, "I don't understand the logic behind the saas-bahu sagas on small screen. Hence, I prefer strong roles that I have played earlier and I would continue to do them in future too. When Producers, directors and the casting team selects certain actor to play a character in their show they are very much sure about what they want. So I think the makers of the show have found Akbar in me and that is why I am playing the role of Akbar. I am extremely happy to be back after two and a half year with such a big offer."

- My question : Can the logic of current tracks be explained in a comprehensive way ? Is there a single scene from 1 entire year of diffusion where cv's , producers , directors , casting team manipulate and coordinate perfectly with the male protagonist's abilities ?


- Thanks for reading ! Any attempts to answer my above questions or debates over these are welcome 😊 !

Sadly for RT, currently his on-screen, Akbar, sounds exactly like the characters he doesn't appreciate. But, yes, during the initial episodes when this interview was taken, his character was glorious, now, it's only his acting that saves the day. 😭

thnx for posting this old interview. It reminded us what rajat's expectations were from Akbar's character n what he is getting!!! Its his bad luck that this show is of BT where 'heroine Mahaan' formula is applied nth time without logic.I dont know whether he even realised it since benji track or not becoz his character assassination started from that point only n in b/w we got his fight seq that also was not of his callibre as he masters the action scene but JA lacks a proper action team. RIP the old jallu.

You are welcome dear 😊😃 That's so pitoyable of EK to let down RT's hope and expectations for such powerful character with such atrocious and ridiculous way of portraying it when RT is hell bent not to disappoint her by anyway ! For RT only we are bearing this daily torture ! Seeing him onscreen hold good reasons to bear all those craps ! Now , I regret and am nostalgic of old Jallu ! Prefer him as Jallad then this obediant puppy version of Akbar !
