jodha's attitude - not that of a rajput princess

I agree that Rajputs are extremely courageous be it men or women. However Rajput women apart from being brave and courageous were very respectful towards their husband. No matter their husband is doing right or wrong, they used to obey them.
Now the way Jodha talks to jalal seems highly unacceptable and somewhere we can't relate it to history.

For instance,

1. Jodha talks to jalal as if she is scolding him always. She keeps on saying "hume aapse ghrina hai". O come on lady!! he's emperor of India and u can't talk to him like that. I don't think real akbar would have tolerated such a behaviour.

2. Few days before when there was misunderstanding between J & J on letter thing. Jalal tries to be intimate with Jodha and Jodha pushes him and Jalal is all on floor. No this is something too much for a king.
He's a king not ur sewak!!!! 😡 How can u do this to an emperor and more importantly ur husband.

3. It's an old hindu ritual that women touch their husband's feet. Jodha has never done that. Chalo!! that's fine as it is not necessary as it was not prevalent among Mughals.

4. Whenever Jalal is talking to his courtiers abt any imp. matter, she comes there without even asking. Muslims (no offence) are quite particular that ladies shouldn't come before other men and if they come their face should be covered.

I am not against women raising their voice before their husband nor I believe that they should always be submissive to men. I also believe that women should have all the rights that a man has.The only thing I don't agree with is that we can't relate her behaviour with the women of that period.

hey lovely! bang on! i completely agree with uđŸ‘đŸŒ..the sophistication and royalty is missing..women of royal origin r extremely humble and soft spoken, even if they have to voice their opinion they do with some tehzeeb! and all of the above mentioned points r missing in jodha that is why i do not like her character that much, it irks me most of the times!

had she really been shown as the submissive 16th century female none of us would be able to relate to her...also the fact is she was quiet fiery ,not at all like ur standard 16th century rajput princess...i am sure she dint talk to akbar badly but all this is done for dramatic effect...bcoz this serial is created for entertainment.

to be on fire is more of a masculine quality, it suits jalal more, but to be strong and firm as jodha's character is but with grace and some tehzeeb is what is required for the better portrayal of her character, now she is more of a tom boy than a royal queen!

Agreed that serial is for entertainment...But if u see the movie JA, we can see there Jodha having each n every quality of an ideal Rajput princess and a of Mughal Queen as well. She is brave, truthful, has self-respect but at the same time respectful to her husband. She knows how to put her point before emperor without disrespecting him. weren't u able to relate with her there??

Even a strong lady like jaywanta bai in maharana pratap knows exactly how to say, when to say and what to say to her husband without disrespecting him.

Here jodha talks to jalal as if he is road side romeo jo uske picche pada hua hai with her patent dialogue " Hume aapse Ghrina Hai "
