I honestly don't know the best words to describe this scene, but Jalal was just so heartbroken here, perhaps even more than the 210 episode because here Jodha wasn't "exposed" yet, so Jalal was just so heavily conflicted 💔
P.S. This is from Episode 200, around 15 minute mark.
Ashwini and Rajat are truly and utterly actors par-excellence, y'all!
Everybody keeps telling jodha in the initial episodes that the only reason jalal is interested in her is because he couldn't have her, and he'd lose interest completely once he'd 'had' her. So what do y'all think would have happened if for some reason they'd had consummated their marriage sooner??
(especially before they ruined her character by making her a naive doormat 😭)
You can see it in the eyes😭😭
Okayy guys I'm re-watching JA and y'all Jodha was so justified in her lack of acknowledgement for her feelings for jalal because why the hell was that man so goddamn rude😭😭 and I'm not even on ruq's miscarriage track lol he was horrible even before that. I personally think she fell for him too soon because my petty ass would hold the grudge forever 😭😭
Throughout my life , I will never not going to get over this scene . This is my most most fav . scene . The way Jalal is looking at her , his eyes man ! Maine joh daant peese butterflies everything omg I can’t explain
In no particular order.
Honorable mentions: Mahabharat, YRKKH, Balika Vadhu
I think Jodha was unsure for a long time. From hating him she eventually started seeing the human in him, felt bad for him, respected his intelligence & kindness and then fell in love. I think she started realising during the time surjamal came to haram as a khwajasera
Jalal was always attracted to her. I think his hatred was a mask as he knew his feelings were not reciprocated. His liking soon won and he couldn’t pretend to hate her. I’m still unsure when he completely realised his feelings for her. When did he know it is love?
Let me preface this by acknowledging that Jodha/Harika is clearly Jalal's most-treasured consort, but I don't understand why the show did not highlight her relationship with her Hindu Co-wives, Jalal being intimate with his other consorts and Jodha's reaction to it, and Jalal having children from other consorts.
Evidently, the show shows that Jodha was incredibly jealous by him being with other women, so why was this never highlighted? Especially after the birth of his other children.
This fact was highlighted in many other historical shows, and it's absurd it's not highlighted her after Akdha considering he was a very promiscuous man in real life. Even Magnificent century highlights this fact, and Suleiman is one of the few loyal royal men historically
Was it just lust or something way deeper and mostly fate?
