Mughal Descendent Ziauddin Tucy Says Jodha was Akbars wife
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------
Criticising the controversy over the Bollywood movie 'Jodhaa Akbar, a descendent of Mughal Emperor, Bahadur Shah Zafar, claimed that Akbar had indeed married Rajput Princess Jodha Bai and conferred the title of Malaika Maryem Zamanni Begum on her. In a statement in Hyderabad, Emperor Bahadur Shah Zafar's great grandson Y Ziauddin Tucy said, "It is indeed a specimen of sheer gaucher that certain vested interests are unnecessarily creating trouble without judging the realities."

Emperor Akbar married Jodha Bai to strengthen his forces and to extend his empire's boundaries. The brave Rajputs not only proved their sincerity but they did everything to support the Mughal empire.

Not only Akbar, but Aurangzeb also married a Rajput princess, he claimed while releasing two copies of rare paintings of Emperor Akbar and Jodha Bai. The recently-released 'Jodhaa Akbar,' directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, has been mired in controversy after some Rajput organisations protested the depiction of Jodha as Akbar's wife. They claimed Jodha was married to Akbar's son Jehangir.

Jodhaa's descendant say she married Akbar and Mughal descendant say the same thing

so who are these publicity hungry protesters again?

The funny thing is, Ashutosh included a disclaimer at the beginning of the movie that addresses this very issue. It explains that Akbar's first Rajput wife - the daughter of Raja Bharmal - is referred to by various names in historical records and folklore and that the name 'Jodhaabai' has become most famous among the common people over the centuries. Hence that name was chose for this film. They even provide a list of some of the names she is known by in history. So there really shouldn't be a problem. Some people just have too much free time on their hands I guess. 😆 Ashutosh acknowledged the issue and addressed it nicely. Besides, it is a movie not a documentary. Whatever happened to creative liberty? 😊 Jo bhi ho, at the end of the day it is free publicity. 😉

I have a similar sort of problem when I see Shashi Kapoor in his rolly polly current avtar... can't get his 70's movies image out of my mind..😆

hritik was awesome in the movie,cant think of anyone who could have done more justice to the role,his dialog delivery & tone was awe inspiring.
