Ignore such comments , they just need some excuse to bash our queeny.
Jodha never wanted or asked for so much as a trinket for her sister's marriage, but HB wanted to give lavish gifts , n if Jodha had protested on giving them , she'd have deeply hurt the sentiments of the only person who'd been like a guardian angel to her during her turbulent days in Agra.
N btw Jalal didn't give all that gifts for the sake of Jodha , he wanted to be so generous as he had to impress the Rajputs n create an impression on them that he's a very generous n benevolent king , it's all part of his big plan to spread his kingdom in Rajputana , nothing else, n that's why he gave away the Ratanpur fort, which btw is historically true also.
The real Akbar did give away Ratanpur fort to Jodha's sister in marriage.
