Nicely put!
There was one thing that stood out today very clearly and you did mention it so rightly!
Feelings for jodha by the various people
- Moti is very loyal but not thoughtful (ela mentioned that...thanks for pointing out)
- Hamida loves her blindly so when something came up so hurtful could not understand and takes a strong step such as confronting jodha and Mariam makhani instead of ammi jaan. Any mother in law how ever good would have had that.
- Jalal has just started caring for her so is shocked and confused which had led him to be angry.
- rukayya (Although she was not there today) is not a bad person but is just jealous and angry and insecure. But she did quickly analyse jodha during the mc episode after the initial fury that she had nothing really to gain from the mc. She wanted to blame someone and jodha was there so ready to fall in the trap. Even now when jodha spoke to jalal in front of rukayya, rukayya sees jodha's valid point. I think she now more concerned with jalal and her position than anything else.
- Salima understands jodha. She understands the psychology of jodha's character and without even a second thought vouches for her chasity! I was very impressed...it is not just mere care and concern for her but has deeper understanding to the people around her. And she proves this even when she explains the characters of jalal and rukayya to jodha. It is not that they are cousins and they have given her respect so she likes them but because she has understood them...in the deeper sence.
Jalal is probably going to get there sometime soon as well...we are going to see some interesting episodes while he makes jodha turn around and away from grinha phase (but she can't help it any woman would be in that same condition after especially what she has just been through) again. He went one or two step in that direction at the Ajmer/Amer episodes and has fallen may be 5 steps back with this. It is going to be interesting to see if it will be baby steps again or some giant steps in the positive direction!
Jalal' wit will be put to test again!
