Here is list of Akbar siblings. Akbar had 2 step sisters and a step brother(who lasted till adult age) and one elder step brother died as kid and another elder step sister was kidnapped and never returned by Sher Shah Suri. Akbar did not have own siblings all were step siblings. But in those days the concept of step sibling/mother rarely existed like 19th/20th century because everyone's father had many wives and majority siblings were step only. Rarely did a person have own sibling especially in royals.
1) Al-Aman by Haji Begum b 1528 died as infant
Empress Haji Begum/Bega Begum daughter of Yadgar Beg maternal uncle of Humayun married in 1527, was 19 years old when she became empress of hindstan, taken prisoner by sher shah suri in 1539 but returned back to humayun, built the humayun tomb in dehi and was buried next to her husband.
Haji begum built Humayun Tomb
2) Bakshi Bano Begum by Gunwar Bibi b 1540
-Was taken prisoner along with baby Akbar by uncle Askari between 1543-1545, married Mirza Ibrahim a direct descendant of Alexander the great at age of 10, husband died in battle in 1560 and was widowed at age of 20. Was given in marriage to Mirza Sharifuddin by Akbar same year who was killed in 1581.
3) Jalaluddin Muhammad akbar by Hamida Banu 1542-1560
Akbar and Bakshi were very close to each other
4) Aqiqah Begum by Haji Begum b 1539-1547 died at age of 8
Princess Aqiqah begum was attacked by sher shah suri's forces with her mother Haji Begum on 27th June 1539 when they came to join humayun from agra fort, was lost in the attack or kidnapped and never recovered. Humayun regretted all life for losing his daughter and searched her extensively but she was not found and he always regretted getting her to chausa, bengal
Akbar has no clue i guess in serial his sister was kidnapped and never returned by Sher shah suriii
5) Baqt al-nissa begum (Farq-al-nissa) by Najib al nissa begum 1550-1608
6) Mirza Muhammad Hakim by Mah chuchak 1553-1585 (Ruler of Afghanistan and Tajikistan provinces)
- Attacked Punjab in 1581 with intention of becoming emperor of hindustand but did not want to fight his brother and left to kabul. Akbar defeated him in Kabul and restored him as ruler and he ruled till 1585 after death Akbar took over the reign.
-His mother was killed by Shah Abl' Maali in an apparent bid to take over the throne of Badakhshan and Kabul. Mirza Suliaman- the father of Mirza Ibrahim husband of Bakshi Banu attacked Badakhshan and defeated Shah Abl'Maali and hanged him for his crimes and married his daugthter to Mirza Hakim and appointed Umed Ali to help rule the kingdom as Akbra's brother Mirza Hakim was very young 10 years old. Bakshi Banu husband Mirza Ibrahim died in this battle in 1560.
Mirza Hakim and Bqt-al-nissa were very close siblings and she returned the throne of Kabul to Hakim which Akbar gave to her to take care
