I would like to address my appreciation to whoever that threw the stone to MA. The amount of blood flowing out of her head that night had cost her some of her ability to plan. Here are 3 main points that she failed to consider in her plan.
MA's BIG MISTAKE: Beware when you choose your ally.
How on earth MA thinks that someone who devoted his life to something as pure as music can be a part of her dark and evil plan? Maybe MA didn't have any purity in her heart so she just doesn't see it.
And MA... any genius strategist won't come close to those who can read their mind as well as Tansen read yours.
MA's BIGGER MISTAKE: Know you enemy.
In any battle, if you know your enemy, you are already half way to victory. Jalal apply this in his personal battle with his begum Jodha. And he did win her mind, her trust and now on his way to clam her heart too. But MA didn't even think it is worth to know Jodha. That is why she can't see what Jalal saw beneath the grihna mode. Jalal saw that she was trying her best to hide few things from the world.
One of them is she cares for him. After the tiger attacked, I don't think she realised that she is trying hard to save Jalal because he is her husband. To her, it was what her parents taught her, be kind to others. But with the blood sindoor scene, she came to realise that Jalal is her husband. Though there was no love at that time, she realised that she was connected to him as husband and wife, marked by the sindoor. After that, her cares for him was growing but she try to push it away because he is suppose to be her biggest enemy and caring for him means she betray herself.
But after the grihna gone, she is now doesn't mind at all if the world knows how much she cares about Jalal. We saw how worried she was when Jalal was sad due to BB and how she was running around finding ways to stop Jalal from going to see the angry public because she scared that he'll might get hurt. BTW, MA didn't see it because her brain was bloodless at that time.
Like MA surprised with Jalal and Jodha's non grihna relationship, MA will be more surprised to see Jodha will do anything to clear this misunderstanding even if she will hurt badly by the process. Not because of her ego but because she cares about Jalal too much that he misunderstood her is not something she can just let it be. Once the letter MU solved, Jalal had no reason to act friendly with Benazir anymore and MA's plan will be completely failure.
MA's BIGGEST MISTAKE: Hearts can throw a heartless logical plan out of windows.
Yes, the reason people around them thought it is only about physical is because there is a very strong physical attraction on the surface of Jalal and Jodha interactions especially on Jalal's part. Though Jodha hid it very well beneath her grihna, but sometimes, it didn't work, remembering the scenes where she was affected by his shirtless back when she asked him to remove his clothes so she can apply medicine on him and when he took off his clothes for his punishment in Amer.
That is why MA thought that with the misunderstanding she created and with the help of most romantic atmosphere, Jalal will go running to have *ahem* with Jodha. With rejection from Jodha, Jalal's ego will hurt badly that he will ignore and hurt Jodha after that. She also thought that Benazir will attract Jalal and pull him away from his so call only physical attraction to Jodha. Like Rukku in previous track, MA thought that Jalal attracted to Jodha only because of her physical beauty.
She didn't realised that Jalal's heart too is attracted to Jodha's heart and that his heart is already connected with her heart. Because until now, Jalal makes everyone believe that he believes that he has no heart.
Now, the 1st part of her plan was already failed when the drugged and dreamy Jalal didn't go straight to Jodha that night but need to be push to go there. She failed to notice that even though his body is fully ready for physical connection with Jodha, deep down in his heart, he knows that Jodha's heart is not ready and that is a heart connection. But, MA is too full with herself now to realise her own failure.
The 2nd part of her plan was also failed when not only Jalal's ego was hurt by the rejection but his heart too. What MA didn't count is, his heart hurts more than his ego. At this point, although Jalal's ego will get angry and try to ignore and hurt Jodha, his heart will still strongly yearning for her, therefore, he can't turn his back from her.
I am eagerly waiting for the last part of MA plan to fail... I can't wait to see MA's face when she realise that Benazir's artificial beauty can never compete with Jodha's stunning outer and inner beauty in Jalal's heart. Wonder how MA feels when she found out that Jalal didn't attract to Benazir at all, but he use her just to get Jodha. Wonder how MA will deal with the fact that her plan is the force that forces Jalal and Jodha to acknowledge their heart connection.
So, MA's BIGGEST MISTAKE is she fails to consider the heart attraction and connection between Jodha and Jalal.
Summary of yesterday episode:
T hank you CV, for Jalal is not attracted to Benazir at all.
I'm eagerly waiting for:
1) Tansen VS Maham Anga duel.
2) Jodha's jealousy and realisation that she loves Jalal and Jalal is not lusting over her but truly loves her.
3) MA's happiness crushed.
4) JA's epic love story begins.
I choose to ignore the part that... Jodha pushed Jalal. I think Jodha is not only too shocked with Jalal's advance but she is MORE SHOCKED WITH HER OWN NEW FEELING... Thus, she pushed him harder and unfortunately he was unbalanced because his was drunk. So, he fell hard. It did hurt me when I look at Jalal after that scene. But I just remind myself that it was a misunderstanding. All I know, years later they will look back and laughs at the memory like will laugh at her grihna mode before...Salim's bedtime stories are surely more colourful than others...
I choose to put aside Jalal's revenge. I hope there is no revenge as Tansen will help them to clear the misunderstanding as the news said. But we'll see.
What I know is... Jalal and Jodha is in the process of learning that their heart is actually beating in same rhythm, strongly connected and calling for each other. These two hearts are made from same material and beats for same purpose. Two golden hearts that care about others around them that finally found each other and became one. With this kind of union, comes what may, they will strongly and possessively hold to each other...❤️
