Friends, what a horrendous piece of work this Ruq was in yesterday's episode? I have no words to describe a woman who breaks a King's diktat just to go and visit Salim in Kadir's hut - not out of any concern for the boy, but to feed him plenty of Palace food drugged with opium!😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲
And then like a Master Hypnotist she drills into his brain "I am not a prince, I am not Badi Ammi's son, I am her ghulam. My mother does not care for me, she only cares for her MUZ position. My father does not really care for me, he only cares that he has a waaris. I will do exactly as Badi Ammi says. She is not my Badi Ammi, she is my Ammi Jaan but I am her ghulam. I will never in my life ever forget that both my parents never cared for me!"
She left Salim sleeping there muttering these words over and over to himself ... what a dratted witch!
And here Jalal is saying he will not give permission for Jodha to visit Salim, when this wicked witch also has brainwashed Jodha not to go, as it will hurt both Jalal and Salim's face in society!
I am so boiling mad with this scene, especially because the wicked witch then told Resham "Let no one know I am regularly coming here. In the next 5-6 days, by the time Kadir gets well, I would have successfully separated Salim from Jodha!"
Other than this scene of treachery of the worst kind done by an adult woman to a small child, ruining his future permanently, only two other parts of the episode appealed to me.
One, Nadira seems to be softening towards Salim a bit remembering her mother saying she should not be rude and totally blame him - for Kadir was also in the wrong. But Nadira's help with the firewood was shunned by Salim who still seems angry with her.
Two, the last scene of Jodha and Jalal together had nice dialogues when Jalal said "Salim seems to have God's blessings. I was first a sipahi and you changed me to a man of the awaam. Now Salim is become a man of the awaam first and then a sipahi. That is his blessing. Also when we lost so many babies, I went and killed people mercilessly, and then repented by serving them. But Salim gets this chance to serve people even without having to go through ugly wars like me. That too is his blessing."
Dialogue wise it was good, that last scene, but it still does not make logical sense. Jalal is still in some La La Land that he is giving his son a good moral background at the age of nine. And how? By sending him to Kadir's house for a fault partially that of Kadir, where the wicked witch can drug him with impunity!
It is also totally out of my comprehension how when Mansingh and Khanekhana and sipahis are all in disguise and purportedly taking stern care of Salim, this wicked witch with Resham is planning a daily trip! How can we swallow this huge blooper (if I can call it that) where Ruq defies Jalal's orders and goes to Salim, and yet the so-called guards of Salim are not even there to see this nor try to stop her!
How can an intelligent audience swallow this? Are the CVs now thinking they can lump anything at us and we'll take it because we have nothing else to watch?
