I know my history very well. I know there was no romance between Jodha and Akbar and its a very good possibility that Akbar only ever loved Ruqu. I am not watching a documentary here. I am watching the show Jodha and Akbar romance and it is annoying to see that far from happening while RuqLal go all mushy. Its a turn off for romance buffs. I do not hate Ruqaiyya. I hate the execution of the tracks in the show. What is promised is not shown while the rest of the stuff happens.Originally posted by: vijisridhar
Am surprised at so much of "grina" against Ruqqaiyya ..Why..?
Yes.. she talks more about "audha" and her "khas-begum" status. Not about her love for Jalal.
But, isnt' it a fact that she has never been with or seen anybody else other than Jalal in her life. In her life of about 20 years.. she has been his wife for 11 years. Whats wrong in being possessive about him..? She couldnt' give him a child - a waris for the kingdom... so obviously, she feels insecure. Whoever, provides him that will become his favourite. Thats exactly what happened at last, eventhough, Ruqqaiyya continued to be the leader of the harem.
Its history, that whenever we talk about Akbar, we are going to recall his Queens - foremost being Ruqqaiyya and second Jodha coz she provided children for the kingdom. That cannot be distorted.
So, Jalal and Ruqqaiyya hugging, kissing or making love is part and parcel of the story. He does and will romance Jodha - because, she is the girl who rekindles his heart, he found true love in her.
So, just deal with it. You cannot have Jodha Akbar story without Akbar Ruqqaiyya story as they are not separate.
If you hate Ruqqaiyya, you are basically hating Jalal too coz.. she is his true friend and puppy love.

I am talking from the show's perspective and not history. Historically, the show is a big joke.
