I do not care if its akhda or sanar or DEk focussed better script is all I demand and logical story set in 16th century etiquettesFurther regarding Akbar's fav wife some books say Ruq some say Salima others say Jodha so no one knows for sure and I do not care about it. I know Akbar was no lover boy like a Salim/Jehangir/Shah Jahan/Baz bahadur types whose love stories became a fable and were told and printed in story books and got imprinted in history without a film/serial.I had never heard Akbar loved any wife till a Jodha Akbar movie. But I definetly had read in comics and books about Salim anarkali, roopmati baz bahadur and mumatz shah jahan and Jehangir nur jahan and even heard stories of them from others. Even school books mentioned only nur jahan and mumtaz among Mughal wives and till I watched movie Mughal e azam in early 2000s I had no clue a Jodha bai existed who was Akbar wife. After the movie Jodha Akbar controversy I came to know Jodha Bai was Jehangir wife not Akbar wife and Akbar wife was Hira Kunwari.What I want to find is if Akbar loved Jodha so much why has he not mentioned even her name in Akbarnama?(or any wife for that matter.) That only means there was no serious love story on its like a normal marriage arranged for political reasons most probably. And a Shah Jahan ensure majority of his kids came from his beloved wife mumtaz but Akbar had kids from cocubbines and other wives too. And Akbar was an Casanova almost all life especially till his early 40s bringing woman he loved/liked in his harem and pleasuring himself whether those girls wanted or not or whether girl was anothers wife or not. The same held true of other Mughal emperors as well especially a Shah Jahan who was known for his love for mumtaz after her death he totally became a Casanova like Akbar.But definitely filmmakers and serial makers find love in every relation they have made a love triangle of man bai salim and anarkali all know man bai and salim was arranged marriage and anarakli may/may not have really existed. Next they will have love triangle of man bai jagat Gosain and salim and then quadrangle of MB, JG and NJ with salim for sure.So I will forget real history and enjoy this show as a fiction Bollywood masala with a pinch of history here there. 😉 I do not care who loved whom and why? For me this is a saas bahu sazish Bollywood potboiler on whom Salim gets and whom Akbar loves 😉 History anyone? Whats that just enjoy the show while it lasts 🥳
