Mansi, thank you for continuing to come up with an exceptional analysis, in spite of the story line going downhill. Your choice of words in describing a character or scene, are excellent and a joy to read. 😊Love your predictions too.
I hope your daughter has recovered from the viral fever and that little dachshund doggie has stopped showing Rukaiyya-like symptoms.😆
Excellent thoughts, Maddy style, 😊 honest and straight from the heart.👏 This is why I love reading your write-ups, Maddy.
After reading varied opinions of forum members, I too am wondering why is it that Jodha is suddenly being shown as a non-entity?
Instead of showing the young parents clashing due to contrasting views on child raising methods, why not show them imparting their individual talents and knowledge to the little prince? This way Salim will benefit from learning about both Rajvanshi and Mughal cultures.
What happened to the earlier Jodha? Where is the fiery, fearless, wise, perceptive queen who unhesitatingly guided the younger ruthless Jalal whenever he was confused or faltered while making major decisions? Where is the rational and clever Rajvanshi Jodha? Why isn't she shown teaching Salim verses from the 'Gita' like she did to little Rahim and on occasion even to Jalal? Why has she been reduced to a mindless, unintelligent,trivial, inexpressive and insignificant person both in the mahal and in the upbringing of Salim?
Yet again the makers are planning to use a child (Salim) as a tool to cause a fall-out between Jalal and Jodha. Shame on the Creatives. All they are capable of showing with their disastrous dramatizing techniques are fights, jealousies, insecurities, evil scheming, drugging, hukkah ingestion and misunderstandings. I did not watch the episode yesterday, because I am not interested in watching the lollipop scenes anymore. They mean nothing to me.
The Creatives ruined the essence of the love story and soul connection between Jalal and Jodha when they showed Jalal accusing his wife, the mother of his children as irresponsible and a murderess, citing their shared moments of intimacy as an opportunity for the predator cousin to poison baby Hussein. I remember foolishly analyzing Jalal's mindset and defending his harsh words to Jodha , as a method in which a devastated yet loving husband was releasing his sorrow at his wife, because she is closest to him emotionally. I was anticipating on seeing this traumatic experience and his folly, lead to remorse on his part and their spiritual growth. However in the very next episode, I was in for a ruder shock, when I saw that after insensitively accusing her, he had stopped all communication with her too, left her to grieve alone, while he was busy appeasing his physical needs with other women in the harem. After this incident, I am completely disinterested in seeing them together.
How could the Creatives degrade the character and personality of Akbar to such an extent? They have turned a large hearted, extremely loving husband into a selfish and self centered one.We all know about the exalted position that Jodha held in Akbar's heart and the Mughal court, in reality.
I am a huge fan of both Rajat and Paridhi. I've been seeing Rajat's performances since he was child artist. He was awesome as a teenaged Prithviraj Chauhan and excellent as Jallauddin Mohammad.
Inspite of the character of Jodha, being her first major role, Paridhi has come up with an understated, subtle, yet powerful and superlative performance as the fiery Rajput princess.
Both of them have an excellent future in any roles that they play. I hope that the Creatives do not mess up the storyline and characterization of Salim and Anarkali, like they did Jodha and Akbar's.
Charu.
