Jodha n Rahim's bonding is so cute and adorable. The reference to Krishna here is not incidental as they both were actual great Krishan bakhts. Here's some info i culled frm the net...
Khanzada Mirza Khan Abdul Rahim Khan-e-Khana also known as Rahim was a renowned composer during the time of Mughal emperor Akbar. He was Akbars stepson and one of the main nine ministers in his court, also known as the Navaratnas. He was a great warrior as well as a poet. His dohas have important messages and a great deal of worldly wisdom. Rahim is famous for his Hindi couplets and his books in Sanskrit on Astrology. He also wrote many dohas in praise of Lord Krishna and Rama.
He was the son of Bairam Khan and his Mewati Khanzada wife. Salima and Bairam Khan's marriage did not produce any children.
The Khanzadas are Yaduvanshi Rajputs (descendents of Lord Krishna), claiming descent from the mythological Lunar Dynasty who converted to Islam during the rule of Feroz Shah. Khanzadah is the Persian form of the Rajputana word 'Rajput'
Despite their Muslim faith, they did at that time use the services of Brahmins during their marriage ceremonies, and also followed some other Hindu customs for that purpose. This clans importance was signified by the marriage of Humayun and his powerful aide, Bairam Khan, with great-nieces of Hasan Khan Khanzada of Mewat.
Rahim was a Muslim, but a great devotee of Lord Krishna probably inheriting from his mothers side of family. He belonged to the Bhakti period and wrote couplets in Hindi in praise of Lord Krishna. During this period there was integration between the Hindu and the Islamic elements in both art and literature.
He had an exceptional command over Sanskrit language. He wrote two works on the subject of Astrology- Khet Kautukam and Dwawishd Yogavali, which are still referred by people interested in Astrology.
He shared a special relationship with another great poet of that time Goswami Tulsidas.
Goswami Tulsidas, the great devotee of Lord Ram was given protection by the Mughal governor of Banaras who also was his best friend Abdul Rahim Khankhana when he was writing the Ramayana. Abdul Rahim Khankhana, the great Krishna bhakt, famous for Rahim ke dohe. Goswami Tulsidas was harassed by the powerful Brahmin priests, who did not want him to compose the Ramayana in the jan-bani, but Sanskrit.
Rahim is well known for his strange manner of giving alms to the poor. He never looked at the person he was giving alms to, keeping his gaze downwards in all humility. When at first Tulsidas heard about Rahim's strange method of giving alms, he promptly wrote a couplet and sent it to Rahim:
Aisi deni den jyu, kit seekhe ho sain
Jyon jyon kar oonchyo karo, tyon tyon niche nain
"Sir, Why give gifts like this? Where'd you learn that?
Your hands are as high as your eyes are low"
Realizing that Tulsidas was well 'Aware' of the 'Truth' behind creation, and was merely giving him an opportunity to say a few lines in reply, he wrote to Tulsidas in all humility:
Denhar koi aur hai, bhejat jo din rain
Log bharam hum par kare, taaso niche nain
"The Giver is someone else, bestowing, day and night.
The world gives me credit: so, down are my eyes."
