Talking of historical characters, Ekta should make a serial of other mughal emperors Jahangir & Noor Jahan, Shah Jahan & Mumtaz with Rajat and Pari in the lead. Wouldn't it be awesome to see this trilogy of Akbar Jodha, and the other two emperors back to back?😊


Pari in mughal attire? Yuck🤢
Only hindu attire suits her.

But rajat can do salim, shah jahan, c.g.maurya, askoka and grown up prc now.

True. But so was Ruq.


I love Noor for the SHEER GRIT & DETERMINATION. For her love for Jehangir ( she did love him, he was the only one who she loved & was completely loyal to.) for the work she did for the up-liftment for women.

Yes, she was amazingly manipulative, immensely cunningly shrewd - In that world, moreso for a woman, It was IMPERATIVE to be so. 👏

Ruqs is also like her. Loves and is loyal to jalal. But lacks the cunning and manipulative shrewdness to swirl him round her little finger. But well Akbar is no silly salim.

Btw who was salim like?

Salim was like himself. 😆

Ok sad one. 😆



Jehangir wasn't as debauched as people think he was. Or as wrapped around Noor's finger as people again, like to imagine. 😆


She was his 20th & last wife, but his most favourite. His beloved queen. It has been recorded how he often said he wants only a bowl of meat soup made by his beloved queen & opium to tide through life!


Salim wasn't really like Akbar.. But they had an un-usually close bond! Jehangir in his memoirs recalls that he was only called Sheikhu Baaba by his father, Akbar. Seikhu Baaba is what Akbar called Chisti, as an endearment.


They obviously had a huge rift when he rebelled against Akbar but they were re-united by the 3 chief wives mainly they say, Ruq & Salima.


I think Jo sided with Akbar so Salim was angry with her or something.. Someone who researches a lot told me this.


But he never attended Jodha's funeral even though it was next door.. So makes sense?

No no-one knows if she was for real. It has been implied that he had been mis-led by his own entourage/ courtiers who wanted to dis-lodge Akbar from the Throne & who better than the son who the Emperor loved probably, more than himself?


Salim wanted to be Emperor.

10000% TRUTH, Mandy!!!!

I've always felt the same. The kind of perfection, intelligence & brilliance that RT brings to the historical characters he plays, and the stache of Presence he lends to them, if he plays other characters the telly begins to look too small!!! 👏


He is BORN to play historical characters!!! ⭐️

How about Rajat playing Shiva Triology.

He would pull it off brilliantly.


But I want him to play a refined, suave don now.

Shyamala,
Better late than never right? I am so glad I found the time to read this master piece of yours. The whole writing is filled with emotions that were over flowing that day from our leads.

I like how you used the word 'longing' and explained beautifully the 10 mins of magic. If I had to give one word to their feelings that day, it would not be better than longing. Hence, I enjoyed reading how you kept coming back to their feeling of longing...

I liked your point that he missed the 'aapko khone se acha humne yeh hi marg socha'. The Jalal before shove would have known that this meant she could not survive without him. The shove as you said was considered by him as an unforgivable act. Yet, he is helpless in front of his feelings, the heart that only craves for Jodha. No wonder after the shove we only see an agonized Jalal..
Well said, 'sach ko aanch nahin' - truth or faith does not need to be proven, it has to be felt and realized. Jodha was so not wanting to go that road again, very neat observation here by you.

LOL Jodha's boilerplate formulation 😆
The scene played in front on my eyes again when I read this line- 👏
Then, it peeks out again in what Jodha does not do. She does not say anything. But her eyes, raised slowly to meet his in a limpid gaze, speak. They are not shy, not dismissive, and there is no withdrawal. They are direct and questioning, and underlying that is , if only Jalal could read it, the silence that equals consent.

Your trademark satire, loved it!😆
Jalal was not so foolish after all with his jealousy tactic, and Benazir has been the catalyst that thawed our ice maiden.

I am looking forward to more posts as you are so good with describing romantic hidden inner feelings. The way CVs are going we will have many such episodes and hopefully many reviews from you!
