Abhay, missed epi :( thanks for update. Will catch repeat and then comment. Sorry i couldn't comment on yesterday's thread :((UnresSaw episode - half nice, half unbearable. 😊I am not going to write much as you guys have already discussed the episode microscopically. And there's no fun in repeating the same thing.! All the posts are wonderful; esp Sayeri and Aadhya have done a fab job in detailing the episode. 👏Just posting my own thoughts.1. Good TRPs have risen! So we can hope for continuation of present JA-centric tracks. 😊2. CVs seem to have taken the feedback given to them thru various means, including the thread Why we dislike Salim, into consideration and redeemed Salim's character.What a turnaround!!! Am really happy to see the present happy, loving, friendly, respectful and standing up for his parents, Salim. Thank you, CVs!I like the new Salim so much that I am even able to watch SA scenes. 5 mins of SA means 5 mins less of Hamida-Ruq, which is a huge relief!!! Seriously, I can even watch JAlal's army sleeping in their tents or Fazl beaming like an avuncular uncle while Jalal enthuses the troops with a morale-raising speech, than watch the hoity-toity Hamida Begum and the trying hard to suppress a smirk beneath fake concern Ruq. They are getting on to my nerves now and I am able to control with great difficulty the urge to shake Hamida Begum hard by the shoulders, as my grooming prevents me from even thinking of doing anything worse to her.3. The bonding between Salim and his parents was developed beautifully in the scene where Salim reads his mother's letter to his father. A number of things must have impressed upon Salim then - the love and inseparable bonding between his parents, esp when he is in the warm embrace of first love, the trust his father shows by making him (Salim) a witness to his parents' bond by letting him read the special letter, his mother's concern for him and her desire that Jalal should take special care of Salim and bond with him during the war, how his mother is able to reassure his father that everything is normal in Agra and boosting his confidence for the war by hoping for his triumphant return soon, ...There was so much in that simple scene. A world that Salim had never noticed before. A world of love, trust and respect between his parents that stoked his own longings and desires for something similar. A young adult only admires his parents' bonding when he himself falls in love and it is then that he truly understands what his parents mean to each other and why their love for each other sometimes makes them take certain seemingly harsh decisions.There was such a friendly camaraderie between father and son that it was as if the earlier resentment had all turned into vapour! There was a new found esprit d'amour in the air with father and son experiencing feelings of love and generally being at peace with the whole world as long as their beloveds were fine. Salim even ventured to ask his father if he shared a secret code language with his mother! Well, just as Mirza Hakim had given lessons in love to Jalal, Jalal has now promised to teach Salim about the magical words written by Jodha some day. Hope Jalal doesn't repent that later. 😆4. The bond building exercise between father and son continued with Salim upholding his father's wishes for a principled war in the face of Murad's derision for the same.Will Jalal be able to see the ugly side of his "good son" Murad and the noble side of his "black sheep" Salim during this war?5. Khanzada Begum, Babur's sister played a great role in keeping the family together and it was she who made Humayun's brothers accept Humayun as the emperor. Then we have the reel Gulbadan Begum who is merely a shadow of Hamida BEgum but has no sense to talk some sense to her bhabhijaan.6. Salima Begum - This intelligent woman who used to advise Jalal on all matters during the early months of the show has suddenly become a wallflower, another hanger on of Hamida Begum. I hated her for not supporting Jodha when Jalal blamed Jodha for the twins' death. And I dislike her now for not supporting Jodha in front of Hamida BEgum. On many occassions earlier, we have seen she has influence over Hamida BEgum. Then why doesn't she at least try to say something in defence of Jodha whom she calls her sister? Her silence is baffling and a huge let down. I would be totally put off by such a friend or sister who never stood by me when I needed her.&. Hamida's problem: She is now the typical EK saas, miffed with her daughter-in-law just for the sake of being her mother-in-law and for no justifiable reason. If Hamida really considered Jodha her daughter all these years, then why would she cause such a ruckus over Jodha's faith now? Is it just a prestige issue for her now -she cannot climb down from her high horse without conceding a win to Jodha? Does she just want the satisfaction that Jodha should carry out her orders asap - only then will she be a daughter to her? Is love conditional for Hamida Begum? Hasn't she seen enough politics and wars till now? Did she ever try to prevent any other war in the past?Leave Jodha. Hamida Begum is now no longer even considerate of her son's authority or decisions. She is the same person who said to Jodha earlier that she would never go against her son's decisions. Well, what has changed now? By calling the Persian envoys for talks while Jalal is already engaged in battle with them, she is directly confronting and upturning his authority. Why? Because she feels some old gratitude for the Persian Shah? Really?CVs, please redeem this character before she becomes a full-fledged vamp. Just because there is no other negative character other than Murad at present, pls don't turn a positive character negative.Today I muted Hamida's scenes - she is so insufferable nowadays. The scenes involving her and Jodha resemble the humiliate-Jodha-at-any-cost tracks in 2013. What pleasure anyone derives from such scenes is debatable. I would rather listen to the bg song in SA scenes than watch this lady scowl and sulk!
