Last few days I have been following the posts and reading people's reaction about Jalal's behavior towards his pregnant wife whom he claimed to love and sometime else's wife.
What surprised me is that in an attempt to prove Jalal blameless, there were a lot of posts claiming Atifa must be related to Benazir or MC's spy and what not. Even if Atifa is the devil incarnate, does it make Jalal blameless for treating his wife this way at her delicate condition?
Another surprise is may be Jalal will find out that Atifa is the evil and Jodha being the understanding doormat forget her self-respect and dignity and forgive him for being a lecher and a fool. Really? Would Jalal forgive Jodha if the situation is reversed? He was very quick to blame her character when he thought Suja was her lover. Now his character is in question.
The day people start putting man and woman in equal footing, it won't be as easy to forgive men's cheating. Women are always quick to blame the other woman. But even if Atifa is wrong, it does not make Jalal right for giving mental stress to his pregnant wife.
When Ruk was fake pregnant, Jalal was falling all over her and appointed Jodha as her special servant and now Jodha is really pregnant and risked her life to save his other wives and his family including his sorry ass and yet he is behaving like a lecher.
Now it might be fake. But even it is, he knows that Jodha is carrying his babies and he waited a long time for those babies. Yet he is giving mental stress to Jodha to the point that she thought of committing suicide as if he does not care if she lives or dies.
After this even if Jodha forgive him, what is the guaranty that tomorrow some other woman won't catch his fancy? Yesterday it was Benazir, today it's Atifa, tomorrow it will be someone else. There is no shortage of women.
In fact Ruk should be happy. She is the only women whom Jalal treated consistently. He never went mad for her, but he never disrespected her either.
He might have treated Jodha like precious jewel, but he never disrespected or insulted anyone as he did to Jodha.
If that is love, I will take friendship over it anyway...
