Wonderful post ...I agree that Jodha was shown as a completely insensitive person to say the least and I am angry with Jalal that why the hell is he encouraging such behaviour?...Whole Ameri family takes him for granted and he is shehenshah of hindustan...Where is his dignity?

My dear Meghana.

I am here because you wanted my comments on this undoubtedly excellent post of yours.

I think one can twist oneself into knots trying to explain the Jalal and the Jodha one saw last night, and still get nowhere.

She was appalling, and what appalls me even more is the warm approval for her behaviour that seems to be so widespread here, of course with a gentle little caveat to say that it was ok, all that she said, only it should have been said a little more gently.

I am sure that even had she stabbed him with a stiletto, there would be explanations that she spared him pain by not hacking at him with a blunt axe.

Jodha made me feel sick after that scene. Paridhi is not capable of going beyond the script as Rajat can so effortlessly, so she cannot invest this Jodha that she has been handed with any shades that might soften the blow. She looks, in that order
(1) blank as he expresses relief that she did not let him down
(2) narrow eyed when he classifies her among those who hate him upfront
(3) supercilious when she is briefing him about how sad his life is and finally
(4) blank again as she leaves and he tells her not to dare to pity him.

Then she promptly forgets all about him and goes on to dance as merrily as a cricket.

As for Jalal, by episode end, I came down with a thud after the high of that wonderfully bitter take he gave to his scene with Jodha, where one could see the man who was truly destiny's child and knew it.

I could not believe that he would be so lost to all sense of self respect as to go and ogle her dancing away without a care in the world. Each of your 5 options below only reinforced this feeling, and I do not think one can really even contemplate No.3. After listening to her yesterday, can you really think any sane man would feel that Jodha can fill the emptiness at the core of his being?

My sorrow is not about the Jodha we were shown yesterday, for I never really expected either sensitivity or empathy from her as she is shown here. It is more about the Jalal we were landed with by episode end. He made me feel distinctly queasy. How are the mighty fallen!
