She doesn't have guts to tell the truth abt SD to Jalal but has guts to harm her bhabhi ...She is not a very loyal sort of person or she would not have deceived her loving brother...
Ela, on another page in this thread I had written a reply to babubles about the same point on BB ... see I am pasting it again below. See if you agree?
Baubles, I so agree with you on Bakshi Bano! I am always able to sympathise with people who are genuine victims of other people's evil. But I draw the line when I find women who choose to think of themselves as victimised when they could stand up for what they believe if they find someone close to them doing evil.
See in that older scene at Amer when Bakshi tells Jodha not to expose Sharif, her reason for trying to save Sharif is not because she loves him or believes him to be innocent etc. Her reason is that she has been through widowhood once and doesn't want that again.
I can fully see why she says that because when the plight of women was so bad in general at that time, the life of a widow must have been hundred times worse. But still, in my book, that is not a good enough reason to aid someone like your husband to "harm" someone else and get away with it.
She has to have some principles of where she looks at self-interest versus harm to others wilfully done and abetted. If she wants to be flexible to her husband let her condone what he does to her (if that makes her feel it is better than being a widow). But when he is harming someone else, she cannot in all conscience be an abetter to crime just to prevent a second widowhood. My mind is unable to buy that position!
That's why I hope even if she was the one in the kitchen, she was at least surreptitiously trying to undo what Sharif was doing rather than helping Sharif harm Jodha-Jalal marriage!
