Jalal is acting surely..note added on pg 4

When jalal brought jodha back to the palace and was lying with her in her hojra, he said that he might do something to hurt the babies. From that time, he was behaving weird...maybe he knew about mahachuchak's plan of sending atifa through some informer or source...he knew that something was going to happen which would destroy him and jodha and their children..but he didn't know what. In the hamam scene, he mistook atifa for jodha..he was questioning himself about her identity. Next morning in dewan e khas, he saw atifa and instantly recognised her as the girl he met in hamam. the way atifa looked at jalal, he understood that she was sent by begum mahachuchak.He now formed a plan of this own. He knew mahachuchak and his enemies would do anything to harm jodha and his unborn children. And moreover jodha was his love. So, he decided to let atifa and his enemies believe that he doesn't love jodha anymore...and jodha is not his weakness...that he got over jodha..he is the same heartless jalal..so he started playing his own game...he deliberately acted as if he is really falling for atifa and jodha was his past now...when he decided to go to shikar...jodha asked him why he is not taking her..he was guilty that he has to lie to jodha and cant tell her the truth..but he lied to her...and went to shikar...he took advantage of the situation and got close to atifa to make her believe that he is really falling for her...when he stood in front of atifa's tent..atifa saw him through the mirror's reflection..and to tease him more, she deliberately flaunting herself to him..jalal saw that and he smiled thinking that he has outplayed atifa in her own game...now when he returned to agra, he got to know about khyber escaping from jail and entering jodha's room..he knew khyber cudnt have escaped alone..somebody assisted him. heknew that he has to show to his enemies that he has become the heartless jalal again...and he knew that even he gave death sentence to khyber..jodha would save him...and exactly the same thing happened...he was relieved that jodha saved him from committing a scene during ramazan. but he cant be soft with jodha. before confronting jodha, he stood for a few minutes..that jalal's face showed his love for jodha and the pain he himself was feeling for hurting jodha like this. When he was shouting at jodha, he turned around..his face softened..but when jodha looked at him he changed his expression quickly...now he went to meet atifa..when he was hugging atifa or taking to her, his eyes didnt show the same love which he hasfor jodha. it was like he was thinking about something or planning..he was physically there but his mind was elsewhere..he was suffering inside fpr hurting jodha and his begums..but he didn't have a choice...he knew he can protect jodha and his unborn twins in this way only...there is no other way...

In one of the previous episodes, jalal went to complain about jodha to rukaiya..which was quite strange...because he hadnt done that before...

In today's episode when atifa told that rukaiya sent him...jalal reacted in a way that showed that he knew about rukaiya saying this.

Here, there can be two possibilities :-

1. jalal knows rukaiya very well..he knows that if he made rukaiya believe that he is upset with jodha or not happy with her, then rukaiya will be happy and will push atifa towards him more.this is exactly what happened, rukaiya sent atifa to jalal..

2. Rukaiya is helping jalal. In today's episode, when she was talking to jodha, there was some sincerity in her eyes..rukaiya sent atifa to jalal..at the same time, rukaiya refused jodha's prasad and told her to give that to jalal...jodha went to meet jalal and at the same time she saw jalal and jodha together..morever, rukaiya was anxiously waiting...when jodha came disheartened, she asked her about jalal...thats not a coincidence...maybe jalal wanted jodha to be upset with him...he knew noone other than rukaiya would help him in this matter.her self talk..showed some other thing..maybe he didnt say rukaiya the whole thing..he might have said to her that jodha has hurt his ego by insulting his order in public...so he wanted to hurt jodha by showing that jodha is not important to him anymore..and he loves someone else.

I know many of you wouldn't like my theory...its just an observation of mine..i still have not lost faith on jalal...he is doing this for a reason ...i am sure...soon this will be out..😊
