Jodha Akbar: Insecurity seeps into Rukaiya’s psyche!
The latest episode of Jodha Akbar showed us an anxious Hamida Banu Begum taking over the matter of the country in her hands as Jalal is not in the right state of mind to handle work after Adham and Atgah’s sudden death.
The ladies of Harem request Jodha to help Jalal in getting rid of his pain and trauma he is going through. Jodha approached Jalal lovingly and takes him to the chamber where the pictures of his ancestors have been kept. She asks Jalal to look at his ancestor and remember how they never hanged their boots despite facing many hurdles and challenges on their path. Jalal says that he does not want the throne anymore. However, Jodha urges him to get back on track with zeal as his well-wishers like Khan Baba and Atgah had always believed that he is worthy of kingship.
Jodha’s words instill new hope and happiness in Jalal’s heart and he goes away to ponder on what she said. Later, the women of the harem share with Jodha how they saw Jalal in a relaxed and happy state after the Rajput Princess spoke to him. The women also tease Jodha not to forget them once she becomes Mariam Zamani after giving birth to the Mughal heirs. Incidentally, Rukaiya hears this conversation and she gets jealous and insecure like always.
Later, while asleep, Rukaiya dreams of getting lost in the crowd while Jalal and Jodha are busy enjoying parenthood with their children. She wakes up from the dream feeling frightened and thinks of becoming Mariam Zamani along with Jodha.
Clearly, by now, we have come to know that the power hungry Rukaiya won’t let go her ambitions at any cost.
But we wonder what will she do this time to get her way. Let’s see.
