You're right. I was totally annoyed by this attempt to discredit Jodha in her jealousy without thinking of the repercussions on the Mughal Sultanate! That was the icing on the cake! She only humiliated herself. I enjoyed every second of the angry Jodha and the well deserved slap đ.
As you say, unfortunately there are no to less records of Ruqaiya and the other women of his harem in Akbar's reign.
it is a very unfortunate fact. that and the fact that Mariam-uz-Zamani's real name is being left to be guessed by historians and archeologists đĨ˛âšī¸
the slap Jodha gave Ruqaiya at the reveal was so cathartic and yes, it was so dumb of her (and the creatives who write this) to sabotage the spice trade especially when there was so much at stake. it was childish at best, especially for a character who is supposed to be in her 40s at most. not to mention that her actions could have cost Jalal's life as well.
to be honest, I blame the writers for this f*ckery. I have no issues with the jealousy and all that because to reiterate, something like this is as realistic as it is given the context but what happened to the character arc? I also understand taking artistic liberties but these are historical figures, not fictional characters. I also agree that the later part of the serial was unbearable to watch, in fact, I found myself skipping so many episodes.
