In today's episode i was rather intrigued by the contradictions yet similarities that panned out in this episode.From suffering to praying to rituals to war there were a few thoughts spinning in my end.
Jodha and Jalal praying-Both of them are praying to their respective Gods. Jalal prays to Allah saying he doesnt know what's in his destiny but he wants to be a successful emperor just as his Khan Baba wanted.At the same time we got to see Jodha praying to Maa saying i know u know what is in my destiny.Two contradicting statements that have one meaning the inevitable union of Akbar to Jodha.
Jalal says he doesnt know whats in his destiny but unknowingly he is writing Jodha in his Destiny.
Jodha's presence is his life is what he needs the most right now.He needs guidance not fuel to boost his already big ego and sweet talks to lighten his bitter mind that he has of everything.
Jodha is the one who is going to unravel the already existing emotions of Jalal's heart. Once she solves the puzzle and understands him she can use that to bring out the good man that he has inside of him.A man of valour,integrity,respect,loyalty...a man that rises from his own isolation and a man that rises from that devoid of emotions who will make that change for the betterment of his empire and his loyal subjects.Everyone around Jalal right now wants to keep him under control because the moment he starts being who he really is deep down inside...hasta lavista Maha Angam u can go enjoy the 16th century spa.
Jodha prays that they would be victorious.Little does she know that losing this battle today would be her ultimate victory of the future.For Jodha to gain something she has to lose something.She is unknowingly praying for her loss .Without Amer's defeat then they would be no Jalal-Jodha allaince and without that as impossible as it seems they would be no epic love and endearing journey of Jodha Akbar.She is praying to Maa and we know God works in mysterious ways.Its better not to question why we are fated to endure hardships in life because God has planned something bigger for us.This applies to Jodha and Jalal the more hardships,pain,agony,sufferings that they would have to endure only makes them more stronger,wiser and more mentally and emotionally prepared to take life on.
