I have said many times before and will say it again. Hamida is going to play a huge role in getting the hate birds together so that they can fly like love birds ofcourse. Yesterday I was scared as to what drama Jodha is going to pull to make Jalal understand that she is not at his mercy. It was ammi jaan who patiently explained to her the history of meena bazar and its importance. Jodha agrees to participate only for her MIL and also to make sure to have things that would annoy Jalal. Again, she does things to annoy Jalal so that she can get his attention. She declares that she hates the man, that she would never do anything for him. Actually she puts in lot of effort to decide what she can do next to displease Jalal. Lady Jodha, aren't you spending too much time brooding on Jalal's dislike just so that you can annoy him. Why not completely ignore and get him out of your head. Is that not what you wanted, that Jalal does not even think about you. But, look at yourself all you do is think about Jalal and how to gain his attention.
I am glad that Jodha admitted that Meena bazaar is fun, much better than the affair in Amer. If only, Jalal would have heard this, uska dil bagh bagh ho jata. Jalal buys three dupattas for his three khaas begums. Ruqu was full of pride as always, only talks about how pricey her things are and that they are too pricey to purchase. One thing I like about Jalal is that he accepts the person he loves with all of their qualities. He knows that Ruqu is little brat and lot of time challenges him with his decisions on Jodha. But, because Ruqu is his childhood sweetheart he ignores those comments. The respect in his eyes for Salima is completely seen through his visit to her khema. Salima respects Jalal as well and gives him the perfume he likes.
He visits his last but not the least favorite begum. Right now Jodha is one of his favorites because she hates him. In future of course we all know it will be because of the selfless love he receives from her. Jalal, how can you send away one of your khaas begums? How come you do not understand only this khaas begum of yours? She is stuck on 'You can go back to Amer' record and is ignoring all your benevolence. He acknowledges and appreciates her putting a khema on his request. I was like thank god, Jodha did not retort back saying it was as per MIL wish. But, then my wish did not last long. She is very rude to Shehanshah throughout their conversation and even asks him to leave.
As hard Jalal is trying to call it a truce, Jodha is trying even harder to fight back because of being stuck on the 'go back to amer' record. Jalal has come such a long way, I was surprised that not once did he react to her upteen provocations. He is a person who appreciates honest opinions. Jodha rightfully tells him that he lacks emotions and hence how would he understand the meaning of color. His response was apt, he might not have emotions but understands other peoples emotions really well. He buys all the colors and gives her permissions to play holi. Not once does Jodha appreciate any of his noble gestures. We forgive you Jodha because you are an emotional wreck ever since your husband gave you a choice to go back, oops according to you ever since he asked you to go back.
I am very impressed with the way Jalal's character is growing and showing positive signs of changes. I can't say the same about Jodha though. I wish she showed some dignity and appreciated at least something about Jalal. Her hate for Jalal in the first place was beyond my understanding and so is her current hatred record that she keeps playing. I just hope Ekta sheds some positive light to this character before it ruins completely after the suicide track.
