I sometime fail to comprehend why after mountainous effort of making a show popular and make the protagonists lovable and wanted you all take again painstaking effort to separate them and in this process you go to such an extent in tarnishing, specially the male protagonist in showing he is wrong, that you create a crack in the mirror. That is the reason even after you bring them back together again showing all the remorse and repent the crack doesn't disappear at least for a viewer like me. And this trend was started by Balaji first which was later followed by all production houses and it continues even now.
CV's here you are dealing with a historical story and I know you can't keep on showing romance and lovey dovey scenes but that doesn't give you the right to ruin the main protagonists to such an extent that they can't be redeemed.
Jalal and Jodha's marriage was under a special circumstance and they had to tread rough waters before they were on civil interaction terms, which was seldom. And only after few scenes like the sword fight scene, the aarti scene, Akbar's appreciating Jodha's poem which immediately followed the miscarriage track. This track left a bitter taste in my mouth which went on for a month followed by suicide episode and then you gave us approximately 2 -3 weeks of some good scenes and now we will see this ridiculous track of non - pregnant pregnancy track.
CV's don't forget this is not your regular saas-bahu soap where the sati savitri is always wronged and still she comes out victorious and then the couple reunite after separation and it is always the male who is wrong and finally when you run out of scenarios you take a leap and then make their children the next focus. This is a real story that happened in history and keep that respect and honor that these historical figures deserve.
Do you think after watching Jalal doubting Jodha's character we will be able to look at them with same admiration, adoration, love and passion? I skipped a lot of episodes from the miscarriage track or else I wouldn't have kept on watching the show. Now after such a long time you started showing Jalal in a positive light, you are showing several layers of Jalal with different colors that is looking appealing with his sense of humor, love for talents, appreciation of arts and literature, having a soft corner for Jodha, Jalal as a man of word and honor...after this if you show him misjudging his begum's character, do you think we will be able to love him later again when this track is resolved?
By now this much he must have gauged that Jodha is of strong principle, too proud of her status and honor as a Rajvanshi princess, she is righteous, upright and straightforward without any fear of death. She doesn't lie, back stab and neither does she do any thing back handed then how can she have an affair with another person? That too in a harem which is forbidden to any male other than the Shahensha himself! Jodha has saved his life and has always cared for him whenever he was hurt, if she can get pregnant with some one else's child then why will she take the effort to save the Shahensha on many accounts instead of letting him die and then be happy with her love? CV's I hope you realize how you will be destroying Jalal's character henceforth? It will be impossible to look up to him in that same light of admiration and attraction! Think about it CV's.
Jodha has been faulty in many many regards specially as far as Jalal is concerned. She has been unnecessarily rude to him even when Jalal is turning soft for her. Jalal has gone through massive transformation specially from Ajmer trip to Amer and did every thing possible in his power to win Jodha over with keeping his word, doing every thing possible in getting Sukanya married, respecting her family and her, showering love on her and her several innumerable talents and still she spitted venom on him unnecessarily so much so that she was becoming annoying. After months and months now that you have finally started toning her down towards Jalal you are again retracing her character back to that hatred mode when she will confront Jalal and he her on this ridiculous track. Will she be able to erase all the insults Jalal will heap on her for this? I don't want those repeated 'ghrina' dialogues and taunts of Jodha at drop of a hat on Jalal no matter how justified you all will make her look.
CV's remember this story is based on 16th century during the time of Mughal dynasty where the begums used to be behind the 'pardah' forget about being in front of another male other than their husbands. Then it would have been impossible for someone like Jodha to have an affair with another man which will be against the normal tradition, culture, norm back then. I am not even talking about her character, dignity and personality here. Don't bring 21st century TV soaps scenarios in Jodha - Akbar love story.
In the process what has happened before and I am sure will happen in future and now in present as well is l will lose all my interest and will stop watching the show. You will be walking dangerously on a thin rope and if you slip and fall and the show will too and no matter how good your actors are or how good they look you all will not be able to save it and the TRP's will be the biggest proof about this.
I am not happy with this upcoming track, period. You will ruin both Jalal and Jodha for me! And for me they are one team and not one against the other. I don't want to see Jalal vs. Jodha show, I want to see despite different culture, background, characters, personality, nature, attitude, behavior, rights and wrongs they became one and crossed all boundaries and barriers with their love and romance overcoming every possible storm, ups and downs in their lives.
I hope you all are reading this CV's. Dreading Monday now...!
