Ok Nand Nandini was first wife of royal lineage , Mastani was second wife, Helena was last wife not second and Karu was second wife. Nandini wasn't favourite, Mastani we all know is glorified too much than she actually was, Helena wasn't villainous, you need to understand her history before giving her that tag, she was sixteen when she married Chandragupta, other queens were more dangerous and he protected his youngest wife, Karu we don't know how much was loved, whether she was Tisyarakshita? We may never know.

Regarding Ruqayyah I haven't read primary sources so can't comment on that but she would definitely had been grey as she snatched Bilqis Makani's baby and never let her meet him. How cruel.

Helena was daughter of an Emperor, a freaking Emperor who though was defeated by Chandragupta still could create problems for him. She was very well protected by the Emperor but didn't have any power to be any villainous. She wasn't Agramahishi so she didn't have any power. Chandragupta had many queens who had more contacts

with proper people . Helena only focused on her marital life and kids.

In Mauryan harem only Agramahishi had some power like Durdhara, Asandhimitra etc. Ashok sent Devi and Karu away to Ujjain and Kaushambi respectively. 🤣

All these are stories forwarded by jodha fans to Target her ( ruk) it was pretty common in mughal era for children to grew up with their grandparents or stepmothers shah jahan wasn't snatched from his mother he grew up under best care to be a good ruler which he was 🎉❤️

Rukaiyaa was jalal' a first wife and cousin . They got married when they were hardly 13 years old. Jalal loved her as his friend. She couldn't give Jalal his heir. But she was with him till the end.After Bairaam Khan's death in 1559 Maham Angaa remained advisor till her death in 1564 I guess. Then he got married some Rajput's princess to expand his empire. Jodha was one of them. After Jodha too he got married again to another raajput princess I don't remember the name but Jalal was in his early 50s that time .

She was sister 🤣 of maha rana pratap chief consort phool kuwar these guys were literally rishtedaar

I wish this PH would stay away from historicals. They add their modern day masala that is seen through most of their shows and even the background music is like and K-show. I swear within 2 mins of watching it I knew who the PH was and how this was going to go. Adnan is a great actor and so are some of the senior actors there but it's poor direction and screenplay that's giving this affect. I feel like we're hearing dialog delivery in rehearsals, lol.

Maybe Adnan wanted to try something different, which is fair, but this PH is not worth it. Even in Ishq Subhannallah he was leagues better.

Yeah, we're all asking why his acting level fell that much though and why did the casting team opt for Adnan. They could have chosen someone else or he'd opt out of here or even they'd directed him better. But why PA??

Can't agree more on bgm , it's so irritating to hear such saas bahu music for these historical background show !! They literally played music from all previous Ekta's shows (rinse and repeat)

Adnan definitely deserved better show and role after KA !!

By the way do you think that the Viaan before knowing why Katha needed the money (also think the scene "what part of no don't you understand?") was angrier than hyper-angry Ashok here? That's Adnan's level of good acting. But this bully, street-like (sadakchaap is the word, right?) fellow Ashok is like washing away his previous accomplishments as an actor. At least that's my opinion.

In Historical and Mythological shows any facts are twisted and with many versions the most of them are distorted . The drama element takes the front seat and I always watch such shows with a pinch of salt

I watched all Ashok and Chanakya shows as well as Jodha Akbar

Halwa is a Turkish dish..it came to India during Mughal saltanat.

Now Ashock's wives are making halwa for their first rasoyi... I'm excited
