Here I am talking of the kids characterisation. I have given up on correcting the elders.
SALIM- In real life Salim was a multifaceted character no one can guess what this prince will do next
an unpredictable human being.
Why was he unpredictable and complex?
He loved animals very much but loved hunting too
He loved his wine but banned drinking as soon as he became emperor
He could kill a groom for distracting his hunting but was known as adil padshah a just emperor as he could punish even own family for offences like commoners
He was a Casanova in the sense could enjoy many ladies company but could be a totally devoted husband too to his wives like nur jahan
He did not want Khurram marrying mumtaz a commoner(Or was there another reason to delay their wedding) but himself went against his father to marry commoners like sahib jamal and nur jahan
He loved animals and painting and nature but also was a good warrior
He could not bear to see his servant fall off a cliff and had a heart attack but could stand and watch the most brutal torture on enemies
He was perhaps only one with an audacity and braveness to challenge Akbar and go against his diktats not only in family but in entire Mughal empire
He was quiet frank on judging other human and his follies in his autobiography
The real Salim was an artistic person by nature who loved flowers, nature, birds, painting, wrote good poetry, animals and also was a curious person curious about from where lion got its strength or why soil fertility is better in gujarath than agra etc, he was basically interested in arts and culture and nature and experimenting etc much more than being a warrior though if required he could be a ruthless warior too
But here this kid Salim is being shown so scared of daddy, he bluffs a lot and is so aloof and unprincely attitude. How this kid will grow up to become every parents nightmare child Salim is a big question mark?
MURAD- Murad was a middle child and am sure like most middle kids not given that much importance as the eldest and youngest boy in family Salim and Daniyal
Also there is one incident about Murad which speaks volumes about his nature. Murad was sent to handle some rebellion issue and the Mughal commanders were not listening to him much as he was very younger than them. So he wrote a letter to Akbar about it and then he had to send someone senior to handle it. Another incident again talks of his inability to handle some issue and this time its Salim to his rescue to ensure the commanders on ground obey Murad. And Murad definetly loved his wine, song and women.
Here Murad is shown as quiet brave, commanding type. He is even shown anti authority be it dad or elder brother or mother. Why he even scolded Rahim and rebuffed him lol 😕 So how will this Murad turn out n serial is a mystery but as per history and his serial avatar are quiet different
DANIYAL- Daniyal was definetly the pampered one of the lot. Salim was sent to war field as early as 7 years and by 11-12 commanded an independent mission, Murad was in war field during Hakim crisis with Salim and Akbar. But wonder of wonders Daniyal comes into the war related aspects quiet late. He was the typical youngest boy soft, sweet, good natured, was pampered and got responsibilities quiet late in life unlike a Salim or even an Murad. But he was again a free natured guy went against dad and married a hindu widow. And obviously his helper was the lover boy of family Salim.
Here to some extent history Daniyal matches the serial Daniyal quiet carefree and enjoying good things of life.
QUTUB- The milk brother of Salim was quiet close to Salim and hand held and helped Salim in many matters so much so that when he was killed Salim felt handicapped and lonely.
Currently his character is not coming across correctly lets see what happens during anarkai fiasco etc
HAIDER- This boy is Adham Khan part2. He shall create all sorts of problem to Salim during anarkali and later on fights with Akbar for sure. He is like Shakuni on Mahabharat waiting to create misunderstanding and fights.
This is a fictional character so cannot predict future actions based on history
Currently I think CVs are messing up with Salim making him too goody goody and later rebel no 1 in Mughal empire and Murad as too villainy villainy and later on who knows what?
