Their interaction was very ok for me.Not like husband and wife at all.Even Ruquaiya had said she ruled Jalal's mind and even thinks he has no heart.One that is perceived to not have to heart is perceived as one that cannot love.
This is a drama series.Ekta has the liberty to change the scripts and do whatever she feels right because of her disclaimer.She may take parts of history and add her own spices to it so JA wont be a boring show just based on political dominance.It will be a love story mixed with the clashes of religion and the difference of conquering.With that being said EK knows family wont like watching Jalal with these other woman as Jodha is the lead.It history but EK doesnt have to show alot of it and make ppl like my grandma disgusted with Jalal's polygamous relationships.Even thought its a part of history that cant be changed EK can atleast turn her attention to something else and not risk losing viewers who watch for drama.I got this quote from an article in which Ekta Kapoor said ''I want to show the story of an power-crazed, cruel king whom love made him a better ruler,"
They are kids. They acted like one. Akbar was never around enough to have a meaningful marriage with any of his wives.. they didn't act like husband and wife, but friends just hanging out together.
Ekta made a show where the leads were not together for 80% of the time, married three different times, were shown to have genuine feelings for someone else. And that show was perhaps the most popular ever on Indain TV.
So your judgement is sorely mistaken on what's accepted by the Indian Audience. That was cringe worthy as well and yet it had an insane amount of fan following.
The TRP audience all know their history. Don't underestimate them.
JA is fiction supported by folklore and history. Nothing more.
