I have heard many where and read on aces articles that jodha bai was Akbars wife and Salims mother but now I'm kinda confused. But I believe that she is Albars wife becauz I read it in many articles and as well as in Wikipedia

Who says it's a fiction show? No show that uses characters from history is fiction. This is very much a historical show, dear.

It's not a fictional show if a real emperor's name is being used 😆

I do not know who is who
But stop being so rude to the TM
She didn't say anything offensive
It's a historical show where questions will arise and people will believe different things

Thank you for the warm reception. 🤗
Yes, this is a historical show and I'm sure it's being presented well, but questions will arise based on what historians have researched in the past. It's happened before in other historical forums and is natural, such as PRC, Jhansi ki Rani, etc.
I'm not saying Jodha Bai is entirely false, but that name hasn't been found in any document related to Akbar. It's possible the same character was called Hira Bai or Marium Uz-Zamani.

Hi Disha! I thought I'd find you in this forum. 😉
Yes, Rajat is the main reason I'm planning on starting this show. He's such a good actor and I'm interested to see how he'll portray the different facets of Akbar.

look the name jodha is also used in the films like mughul-e-azam & of course ashutosh's film JODHA AKBAR. infact this name was also used serials like noorjahan. not only tht, fatehpur sikri, which was made by akbar there exists 'jodha mahal'. so its not just balaji's responsibility to show the real history, it was also prithviraj kapoor & ashutosh gowarikar's responsibility as well. i think we had enough discussions in this topic. jodha's name had been used by several film & serial makers for several years, so its not sumthing new.

I'm not saying it's only Balaji's responsibility to show the truth. Every director who makes a historical movie or show has this responsibility.
I'm also not saying Jodha Bai never existed. I'm just saying that her name was not found on any document related to Akbar. In Jahangir's diary, he never refers to his mother as Jodha Bai, but he himself had a wife with that name.
Also, I believe the character of Jodha was definitely real, as she was the mother of the next King, Jahangir, but I don't think her name was Jodha. It was Hira Bai.
However, it's also possible that she had the name of Jodha...we never know. I'm just discussing what different things historians are saying.
These discussions are bound to come up in historical forums. It's nothing for people to get frustrated over.

yes shreya is right.

the existence of jodha mahal cannot be ignored.
even 'akbar nama' talks bout jodha bai(or hira bai)
Now the thing is,we have a dozen sources,which contradict each other.
But the complete truth none of us will ever know.unless we were shahenshah akbar in our previous life :P

Was Jodha Mahal built by Akbar?
Akbarnama talks about Hira Bai. 😊 That's how we know that Akbar married a Rajput princess who became the mother of his heir. In most sources she is called Hira Bai, and in some she's called Marium (which may have become her Muslim name after her marriage).
I am interested how she became known as Jodha later on.

Well even i did a lot of googling on this topic! Well when the film mughal-e-azam was produced or released ppl did not protest then why now?? Well maybe she was called jodha bai dearly or something and that is why in the official documents there was never any mention? Maybe just presuming!! Well as a matter of fact ppl in the history had so many names! Ppl giving them titles every time they win a war or do a feat! Well we never really lived it so i guess ppl should not protest especially when there is a disclaimer also! But then if i was ever granted a wish i would like to see the lives of every great indian king in short see the whole indian history myself!
