September 19, 05:18pialy I know in comment made by u its d emotion or yr inclination towards d charecter Jo or pari has come out but my comment was completely based on what I heard fm Jo,she was being sarcastic in a good way,but d moment she said that remove the layer of proudness (ahankar)from yr heart and think as a son,this line idled me earlier than this every thing was ok,Jo should hv understood that not calling maham a mother was a decision taken by a king fr d safty of his palace and it was not due to ahankar* it was d need of hr d person who would hv most hurt by decision was jalal himself,bt again a king is a king he cant go weak all d time and cant pour his heart out all d time,i still believe Jo has to understand all the aspects b4 coming to confusion, that dialogue could have been* bhagwan ke liye ek baar aap ek shahanshah ki tarah nahin ek bete ki tarah sochiye aur iss antim gadi main usne jaker milijiye ,that ahankar(proud) word is inappropriate there may be writter can be blamed for it bt people who understand the depth of d word fr them it would be difficult to except it.she indirectly said that. yr decision of not calling her badi ammi or not looking at her face was full of ego,pialy never mind but I react on wt I c and hear and I like to. understand the thing within the convo,btw u cant deny the fact that jalal has had respected her from first day even though he tourchered her when in alone,but in public he was always respectful towards her and c was and sometimes still is full of attitude.

September 19, 04:28@prince completely disagree with u..
i think u take it wrong n never understood jodha or i should say dont want to understand..and which matter u talking abt…??here no shehensha no praja…all is about a mother n son..so jodha can interrupt btw them… wt u said she used EGO word,,,,
that if u subsitute it for ego it sounds apt. And no matter what sins have been committed a dying person deserves to get a last wish.
here she used words like his “anger, ego and hurt”
all being justified.
Whether it was his ego or not, the very fact that she included this word “ego” to describe him was very important. Because even when anger and hurt dissipate fast sometimes a slender bit of ego usually holds up people from climbing down from their high moral ground. So to anticipate ego-problems and nip them in the bud, it was important for Jodha to include his “ego” also as part of his self-protection armoury. When he finally started breaking down and tearing up and silently crying Jodha knew that she had done a sterling job on him, helping release his pent up emotions and asking him to unwrap the cover of anger from over his true depth of feeling for Maham. But even then she dropped her softness and advice to him occasionally to revert to the reverse psychological tactics because she did not want him slipping out of her grasp and again hiding behind his “hurts” caused by Maham. Even right to the end Jodha kept saying “Moti, clear this room” till Jalal could hear no more and had to walk off. A 21st century psychotherapist of world standing, if he were there, would have applauded Jodha I feel!
As for Jalal, even from the moment he walked into the room his voice was choking. He said very little but his face was shrinking with every passing minute of Jodha’s diatribe against Maham, and finally Jodha knew he was hit on the raw nerve when he brushed aside what she was saying about the room to ask “Does she really have only two more days left?”. That did it for Jodha. She knew he was unravelling – and I must applaud Rajat for being able to slip so easily from being the angered and hurt King to the little boy who was his mother’s pet! Did you all see that change in his face as that mutinous look just slipped and a vulnerable boy stood there, blinking back his tears? Sensational piece of acting. And then after Jodha derides Maham again and again it becomes too much for him to bear, for his truth has started hitting him. I love the way he says in a subdued but uncompromising voice “Not a word more about Mahamanga!”In the end in true Jalal style he walks off without giving a hint of what he has decided to do. But I think Jodha knows him well enough by now to know that he will do the right thing. I love this characterisation of Jalal as the man who always stands at the edge of the precipice of any conflict, toying with what to do, stay on or climb down. Then it takes Jodha to show him how to think through the situation and what his priorities should be. Jodha never says “Do this or do that”. She merely goes over all the pros and cons for him and then lives in suspense not knowing what his final decision will be. In the end he chooses the heart over the head unfailingly, and decides to climb down the precipice. By letting him feel he has made the decision Jodha lets him have the satisfaction of owning his heart and not feeling the hurt of his ego. This is beautiful characterisation of a powerful individual to show that he has a chink in his armour … he is vulnerable whenever he comes to stand on a precipice in any conflict and gets stymied there till Jodha helps him think for himself! I love how the Creatives show this!
loved the way jodha went to and fro from the reverse psycology bit to telling him to leave his hurt n ego behind and then back to talking bad abt mahamanga to once again telling him how it was ok to cry for his mother. It was the use of both the harsh words and soft support n push that worked to get jalal to accept his inner conflict and reach a decision.

September 19, 04:05I loved yesterday’s episode with great performances by Paridhi, Ashwini ,
but I feel it was Paridhi’s day yesterday and
she was brilliant. She is a wonderful package of grace, beautiful face and smile, carries a film actress like aura and acting that is improving each and every day.
She is rocking as Jodha and I applaud Ekta for perfect casting of Paridhi and Rajat in their respective roles.
What Jodha did was primarily for Jalal and also somewhat pitying MA’s condition during her last days. It is only Jodha who can heal Jalal’s wounds as she is a partner who understands her husband’s heart like no other. She played a perfect mediator to Jalal and MA and paved way for this mother and son to reconcile and heal themselves.

September 19, 04:03Paridhi was perfect with her dialogue delivery

prince rai
September 19, 03:50I cant imagine wt would have been d condition of this Jo with ths much of attitude,proud and am always right,if c would hv been married to any other mugal or even for a change so called *raajwansi*as far as I know raajvansi kings never allowed d queens to interupt or come in between any matter. considering tis I must admit Jo was luky or jalal was unluky I think Jo did him a favour by giving birth to his child and nothing else,

September 19, 03:45Paridhi Sharma was superb yday . Her expressions , body language , dialogue delivery and emoting were simply OUTSTANDING . Her crooked tactics in getting her husband to reveal his innermost feelings for his dying badi ammi surely worked . It touched a raw nerve in him , brought tears in his eyes to see the bandhis clean up all traces of his childhood that Mahamanga had preserved so carefully . He reacts by inquiring from Jodha , in a measured voice if Mahamanga is really counting her last breath . Unable to accept the finality of losing her forever , he walks away.

September 19, 03:41Jalal told Jodha sometimes he feels she does not understand how much he loves her. I hope he tells Jodha ONLY SHE understands him best, what he has not said or acknowledged to himself also she sees and mends.
perfect this is what soul-mates r…hears the unspoken…feels the unfelt…reads the unseen
prince rai
September 19, 03:26yesterday while talking to jalal about how carefully maham has kept all his belongings of his childhood,she told that for once he should remove or come out of d feeling of proudness (ahankar ) and go and meet maham,this is where I feel jodha a complete thresh for her own sake c should understand that a king is different and a son or husband is different though being the same person,when ja forbid himself from calling maham badi ammi or not to c her face it was d heartless emperor who made the decision and king is beyond all relations,there r many things which prompts me to hate Jo at times 1)she always believes c is right no matter what,2)any how gets to d point that her way of dealing things is right 3) though on personal front they have walked miles still I believe that jalal always has been better in turms of respecting her,standing beside her saving (rescue) her from first day of d marriage to till date,d same cant be said for Jo ,she was adamant and continue to be one,everything was nicely taking of in yesterday epi but when I heard that one word I was like what d hell,it was as if u r doing good with one hand and worse with other. Jo need to understand ja more. she has to learn from her mistakes,i hope c does it well and within a short time.

September 19, 03:16Indeed whole epi was dedicated to jodha jodha jodha…one of d best episode of JA…d way she convince jalal…jodha is a lady wid golden heart..
.who can understand others pain…even though her unborn twins got cursed still she is thinking for maham…gud job paridhi. …indeed u deserve a grand salute frm me…love u!!
Pialy
September 19, 03:13yday’s epi belongs jodha aka Pari,,
Ashwini & RT also grt yday in small space bt
Pari nailed 2days epi,,
this types of epi proove why she is EK’s jodha no one else.
Pialy
September 19, 03:10I wish we get the fiery Jodha back, not with Jalal
but one who stood up for herself and was nobody’s doormat.
Pialy
September 19, 03:06Undoubtedly Paridhi was super did great job,
gave excellent expression and voice modulation,
good dialogues her acting is superb with Ruku, Ma and especially with Jalaal
Pialy
September 19, 03:05Jodha proved yday why she is special to Jalal and
no one can replace her in his heart.
She is selfless in loving him and understands him so well.
She knows he is hurt and wants to bring him out of that shell.
Though Mamanga is not remorseful still It was much needed for Jalal to meet Mamanga.
This would heal his pain and give him peace of mind.
Paridhi nailed it yday. Superb acting by Ashwini
Pialy
September 19, 03:02Its a very delicate job, which paridhi did admirably!
Pialy
September 19, 02:59but then this aspect of ruqaiyya has been constant from the start of the show…
she was never emotionally connected to jalal…
not when he raised his sword to strike down a pregnant woman
or him weeping for Bairam Khan ..
hence he never sought her when he was down or out …
it was always his badi ammi and now jodha…
as i said before theirs was a relationship of give and take ..of shallow emotions
hence jalal never fell in love with her …
and inspite of all his thirst for supremacy and power ,
there was a young lonely man in him who sought a heart after his own …
a girl who was his own …and now that loneliness which was his comfort zone makes him restless …
Pialy
September 19, 02:53and for ruqaiyya ..
i just wish cvs end her nonsense this month itself and also sharifuddin ..
cannot take both of them and their silly plans anymore…
ruqaiyya is obsessed with the kid which is the ladder to her being MUZ …
and that at present is her single point agenda…

I adores her from day 1

paridhi was fab
Pialy
September 19, 02:49let me take Jodha’s role in this scene first.
The very idea to use reverse psychology on Jalal was a brainwave that we have all discussed yesterday itself.
But I was not expecting such a full-blown piece of drama-acting by Jodha when she pretended to be throwing out everything that belonged to Maham – everything precious to Maham – from her room,
just because she would live beyond two more days. That was a masterstroke.
To invite Jalal to witness this “treatment deserved by an undeserving woman” was another masterstroke.
Jodha derided Maham as she riffled through everything she has careful kept over years in memory of the young Jalal,
and with every word of hers she nailed truths into Jalal that he increasingly found difficult to digest.
Jodha managed through her charade to convey two or three critical sentences to Jalal.
One was that Maham had only two more days to live. The second was that she was asking for Jalal to come to her just one more time before she died to call her “Badi Ammi Jaan”.
The third was that she wanted to see not the punishing powerful Shahenshah but she wanted to see the son.
Jodha deliberately described Jalal’s position as justified … and here she used words like his “anger, ego and hurt”
all being justified. Whether it was his ego or not, the very fact that she included this word “ego” to describe him was very important.
Because even when anger and hurt dissipate fast sometimes a slender bit of ego usually holds up people from climbing down from their high moral ground.
So to anticipate ego-problems and nip them in the bud, it was important for Jodha to include his “ego” also as part of his self-protection armoury.
When he finally started breaking down and tearing up and silently crying
Jodha knew that she had done a sterling job on him, helping release his pent up emotions and asking him to unwrap the cover of anger from over his true depth of feeling for Maham.
But even then she dropped her softness and advice to him occasionally to revert to the reverse psychological tactics
because she did not want him slipping out of her grasp and again hiding behind his “hurts” caused by Maham.
Even right to the end Jodha kept saying “Moti, clear this room” till Jalal could hear no more and had to walk off. A 21st century psychotherapist of world standing, if he were there, would have applauded Jodha I feel!

September 19, 02:38Jodha with Maham: a study in compassion despite derision!
First of all did you all i notice that throughout this whole scene Jodha just barely got one sentence to speak?
The rest was all said by Maham, and all that Jodha got to do was to emote to what Maham said.
But you know something remarkable? Just shut the sound on the TV and watch all that is going on in this scene, and you will know exactly what Maham was saying and feeling just by watching the reciprocation on Jodha’s face.
That was a remarkable piece of acting by Paridhi,
when you could almost feel the nuances of every sentence that Maham spoke just by looking at Jodha’s face, eyes, her body language and her deep absorption of what Maham was telling her.
Especially look at Paridhi when Maham tells her about the days when she used to know what Jalal wanted when he merely said the words “Badi Ammi Jaan” …
and then look at her expressions again when Maham spoke about Rajvanshis being legendary in giving their lives to keep their words. See Jodha’s body language at those two points. Fabulous, is barely the word for it!
Pialy
September 19, 02:30I want to know, with what authority this Ruq is ordering Jodha about? Fancy saying that “You WILL NOT go anywhere … you CANNOT go anywhere …” with all sorts of assumed authority over Jodha! And fancy clamping her hand down on Jodha’s hand like she’s holding back Rahim or something!
I found it hugely irritating that Ruq thinks she has such powers to scold Jodha that she doesn’t have. Later when Jodha challenged her ability to order her around, Ruq said “Jalal has put me in charge of seeing you go out nowhere!” Jalal did say she was to be looked after, but did Jalal really say Ruq was to become Jodha’s minder?I certainly don’t recall him ever saying that?!
And what about that sentence “You may not care for your baby but my baby is also inside you!” For God’s sake, woman, it’s your baby only when it comes out and is handed to you … not before that!
I am so glad that Jodha gave the most fitting reply at that point “I know what I am doing. And I’ll have you know it is my baby I am planning to give you by my free will! And besides I have Jalal’s permission to go where I want … to Mahamanga!” That just sealed the rubber-gob of Ruq!
Really this scene was grand and it was sorely needed simply because if Jodha had not given Ruq back those sharp retorts, this lording over Jodha would have continued endlessly.
At least now I hope Ruq has received enough of a tongue-lashing from Jodha to know never again to try and control her movements. For me it’s not even enough yet that Jodha has given Ruq a fierce verbal salvo.
I want Jalal to do it also, especially on the subject of “her baby inside Jodha”. Then let’s see if her motor-mouth shuts up for good!
Pialy
September 19, 02:23Only Jodha – not even Hamida, Salima or Ruq – could have ever reached that deep into Jalal
and touched his heart strings …
or have had the temerity to speak to him as ruthlessly as she did to make him aware of his own inner crying at the thought of Maham having just two days to live.
It takes tremendous courage to tell someone the unvarnished truth like it is, especially when that someone is adamant, stuck in a rut of his own mental frameworks, and holding onto his own hurts without the mind to think of the hurts of another in the throes of death.
Jalal owed Maham an opportunity to make amends, because as Jodha said, it would actually make him whole again!
That’s why I think the way Jodha found the opportunity and words and compassion to tell him the bare truth,
and to make him drop anger or hurt, and to give Maham this last chance was fabulous.
Jodha carried the whole episode on her shoulders yesterday.
She was in fact involved in three extra-special dialogues that I want to detail and explain why I loved them!
Pialy
September 19, 02:18Jodha made him aware that this was a time to forget everything –
including the curses on the babies –
that Maham had ever said to him as the “mother of Adham” speaking.
What he now needed to do was to listen to the feelings of his heart (which were visible in the tears in his eyes)
and go and talk to the “mother of Jalal”. He had to go not as the Shahenshah – but as a son. He had to do this not for the lot of harm Maham had done to him over the years (some of which he didn’t even know about yet) but for the several instances in childhood when she had saved his life.
He also had to do it when there was just a bit of time to spare for her death rather than forever live in the remorse of deep feelings incompleted!
