why was jodha unaffected?shouldn't she be relieved thather V is intact - Page 13

Yes, I remember that scene. Therefore it's even more startling that one refuses to accept and rectify what is there for every one to see. One has to work towards any relationship for it to blossom, it is not automatically achieved. My limited point is, ruqaiya has an absolute hold on jalal thus it should be far easier for her to establish a connection with him. Any other woman will have to break a sweat to pierce through his armour but not ruqaiya. Had jalal been sort of a man who didn't treat her as an equal and hid his turmoil from her, her insecurities would have been totally acceptable. But jalal has many times given her judgement importance over his own, has turned towards her for almost every important desicion in his life and in the face of all this the extent of her self absorption is disturbing.

Ocourse jodha is selfish. Who says she is not a selfish woman? In fact I think she is the only lead in Hindi telly who is an out and out grey character. She tries to mould the situation to her liking, doesn't budge, disturbingly prejudiced and unlike most of the telly bahus doesn't leave an opportunity to get even with the likes of maham. Her problem is she is an emotionally fragile individual and is extremly volatile. She is the sorts who if and when fall in love will be totally vulnerable and her partner will have absolute control over her emotions in this case jalal.
