Jodha - The princess who lacks Empathy..

I have been watching this show and following this forum for a while now.. I think we can all collectively agree on the fact that Jodha annoys just about all of us.She's immature, annoying, small minded, and NOTHING like what you would expect a Rajput princess to be like. While her anger and hatred towards Jalal was initially understandable and justified, it is now just silly!

Today's episode and Jodha's lack of empathy as just a human being caring and being concerned for another human being was disturbing. To vocalize that she only cares about her fathers reputation and her sisters marriage and Amer's reputation, rather than the life of another individual, (who is not only a GUEST of her beautiful Amer, but also her husband, and hence, the son-in-law of her loving Amer) is an insult to Rajputs and their traditions, reputation and hospitality. (If she does not care for him as her husband, she can at-least care for him as a person... "I still don't care that you're my husband, and it doesn't matter that you're the emperor, however, your life is in danger, and that is why I am worried, AS A NORMAL, DECENT, HUMAN BEING!!! ONE human being to ANOTHER! " ufff..

The more I watch this show, it goes to show that when love eventually does grow between the 2, it will never be between equal minded individuals but more along the lines of a spoiled brat who has found someone to tolerate her tantrums and petty mindedness and immaturity and calls it love!

If for comparisons sake, you compare the character of Jodha on this show vs the Jodha from the movie Jodha-Akbar, you can see how drastically polar opposites the 2 are. While Jodha in the movie was distraught about marrying a Mughal, she carried herself with grace, dignity and poise and never belittled or insulted her husband. The Jodha in this show is more of a broken record which eventually you want to toss out in the garbage.

The writers seriously have their work cut out of them if they wish to salvage her character because so far, there is nothing graceful or dignified about their princess. She is nothing but immature, annoying and extremely ignorant to anything beyond the walls of the Amer fort. THIS is NOT how a princess is to behave.. let alone the BEGUM of Hindustan!

So admirably put. I am not an aishwarya rai fan, but I must give her full points for her portrayal of Jodha it was so dignfied and graceful. Her sadness was conveyed in such a poignant manner to not express angst against any complete group but just the rapid change her world had to go through in a short amount of time. However she accepted it nevertheless but her reluctance of her husband did not project outward disrespect towards him just that she needed time to get used to being a Mughal queen. Akbar did throw her out of the palace under false accusation, but her response to it was so much more dignified by touching his feet in public keeping his respect and even in private she was upset with pride but not cruel.
Jodha's journey is supposed to be of her role as Mughal queen and in this journey she was supposed to help Akbar bring about social and religious reform while expanding their empire. What we got in the show is tantrum throwing rich girl who her ever more sensible husband has to palacate at every move because obviously he is so enamored with her, why that is we don't know, even though at this point we would rather look forward to a sensible conversation between Salim Begum and Jalal. Yes not a love story of equal minded royals.

Wer is Jodha... I dun see her anywhere now... Jodha suppose to be a person with humanity n all even for birds and all but today when the King himself needs her guidance she fail to make a remark... I personally believe one should not mix personal with kingdom matters... When the king asking you opinion putting you at his place, as a princess she should be able to at least show him the way , n if she really cannot then she just need to be quiet... n wat is there to pity Jalal... I pity Jodha now for behaving in such a childlish manner......Sorry to say this if Jalal would have done same to ruqaiyya today, that lady would have guided him or at least make him feel better ... theres wer ruqaiyya scores more than Jodha... Jodha does not understand him but ruqaiyya does...
2. An emperor again n again rejected by his dear wife saying I dun care for you but for my sisters wedding, family... Jalal is an emperor for god sake, I dun think any emperor had such a patience... its highly unrealistic... Jalal should be ignoring her n doing his things but here we get Jalal after the children telling him abt Jodha wanting to go n check her no wonder Jodha is being wat she is. Emperor is head n heel over her...
3. To be honest if this kind of nok jhok shown I prefer the Ghrina mood , at least that time Jalal looked like an emperor n Jodha can do wat ever she likes. Im highly disappointed with how they are taking Jodha n Jalal r/ship further...

Why do you think the writers are doing this to Jodha Begum's character?
Do they by chance hate the character? But why?

To drag the serial out? Delay the point where Jalal and Jodha realize they love each other? How long can they possibly drag it out anyway? Certainly not for months.

I wish it was just a tantrum throwing rich girl they were showing.. instead they're showing an extremely small minded, prejudiced and ignorant princess who has no depth to her character and dialogues is that of a broken record.

Shame on her for telling him that no one loves him - because that is NOT true.. He was truly loved by his Khan Baba, Maham in her own way also loves Jalal deeply, his mom loves him dearly, and who can forget Ruqiya. All the ladies (and girls) in Amer and bowled over by Jalal and that itself is a form of love.. love and respect go hand in hand...
Jodha's character is shown to be so selfish and ignorant, that she cannot see beyond her shallow and prejudiced views. Even her brothers, father and Man Singh have all seen Jalal's softer, more humane side and have appreciated and acknowledged it. But for Jodha to discredit each of them with "no one loves you" was absolutely uncalled for and insulting. It goes to show more of who SHE is, rather than who HE is - an extremely narrow minded and ignorant princess who has A LOT to still learn..
