Hakim Mirza- Selfless Love

Is it the one like Jodha-Akbar where you want to get your love at any cost?

Is it like Romeo-Juliet, Laila-Majnu where if you cannot get that person you die with him?

Is it like ShahJahan-Mumutaz where you build monuments that last centuries in memory of your love?

Yes all these three are a form of love but this week Hakim showed us what exactly is selfless pure love to ensure the person you love is happy even if that means you lose her and somone else gets her. I did not expect 16th century men to be so liberal/great not that 21st century itself very few will keep thoughts of a Hakim Mirza. Because in those days men would not tolerate a woman dominating them or humiliating them even in private forget about public. But if there is something pure about love its in giving rather than taking, its in being happy with what your love wants even if she does not want you.

And the grace with which Hakim Mirza handled his rejection in public was worthy of a thunderous appaulse. Being a prince and emperor's brother least you expect your to be bride running off on wedding day and that too when all kings, princes, ministers of your and other states have gathered to celebrate it. Hakim controlled his tears, did not shout, get angry, no drama no show of a broken heart remember this was not an arranged marriage for him he had loved her. And above that asking his brother who is hell bent on taking revenge of this public humiliation to forgive and forget and let the to be bride his love and her family without any retribution without paying for it wow. Now i thought those were 21st century thoughts truly.

Take a bow Hakim you showed Jalal who says he has no heart(a big lie again because then why did he cry when he told bakshi he will never see her face, why did he cry like a wounded tiger at khan baba's death, why he does not get angry and retaliate to jodha when she misbehave with him, why forgive your bro-in-law and milk brothers everytime they revolt or try to kill you because that is only love selfless love actually towards your family, wife, friends) what true selfless love was in one sentence.

and yes haik deserves a round of applause
