Given the lost of discussion regarding leap, no leap etc just putting some positive aspects
Jodha
Loves all unconditionally whether husband, co-wives, mom-in-law, sis-in-law or prisoners like Khyber, sharifuddin etc. Ruqaiah, maham, bakshi, nigar, zakira all tried to hurt her and fool her yet she loved them because she knows that Akbar's happiness is in their happiness. Not once she demanded of Akbar punish your family and friends for hurting me.
The greatest human is one who can love even strangers and enemies and Jodha does that.
Khyber kidnapped her twice but still she treated him like how an human should be treated. Jodha is an innocent soul who loves all humans friends or enemies, all animals wild or pet. She finds her happiness in others happiness
The greatest human is one who treats all living beings equal to them and Jodha does that
I do not care if she is impulsive, does not think what danger Akbar will be in if she takes certain steps because she is one who has understood GODs message perfectly. That is to love even enemies and care for all as equal to yourself. Yes I sometimes am shocked by her behaviour as that is not what a normal human will do. But jodha is not a normal human she is a one in a million person who cannot bera to see anyone in pain. She is like a mother to all whether family, friends, enemies, birds, animals everyone. She has the nurturing quality which is very rare for a human that too a person born as princess.
Akbar
Akbar is an emperor who is like a father to all citizens, if enemy attacks the citizens run to him like children to father for protection. He is a judge who has to be strict in order to maintain law and order again like father in a family. He is a administrator who makes plans for prospertity of his citizens like a father thinks about building wealth and welfare of his kids. Akbar is a warrior who has a dream to make entire indian continent as one and hence sheds blood.
But still Akbar is a sensitive human who loves his childhood friend Ruqaiah enough to forgive her again and again for her faults, who loves his wife Jodha more than his life and can give up his life if that makes her happy(tiger incident, temple incident), who loves his siblings nigar, bakshi and hakim despite their disobedience and jealousy and murder attempts, who loves his mothers hamida, chand begum etc and gets worried if they are a bit tensed, who loves his milk mother maham despite her killing his unborn babies and attempting his murders, who loves his milk brother adham despite his open insuborndination and insolence, who loved his foster fathers bairam khan and atagah and respected and obeyed them more than any real son would even in 16th century, who forgives his bro-in-laws sharif and abul mali time and again for his murder attempts so that his sisters do not become widows, who treats a sepoy Abdul, zaheer as his best friend from childhood although he is an emperor
Akbar is a very good emperor because he does not make laws based on his whims and fancy but based on what is correct and lawful.
Despite all their flaws appreciate their positives
