Were any Palaces built for Jodha before she got pregnant?

Don't know if you have read my posts or not.😊.

1.
Agra Fort Palace - 1563-64(Before preganancy)
Infact this palace and Jalal's palace were NOT DIFFERENT..
They both were ONE and in same enclosure.

2.
Rang Mahal.
This construction started WELL BEFORE pregnancy. And later the sped up.

3.
FS Palace.
If you have seen the show correctly one of her palaces in FS were BUILT well-before Salim;s birth.

Here are some facts which suggest that Hira was his favorite queen.

As we all know she was given title of Mallika-i-Hindustan, Wali Nimat Begum, Maryam Zamani Begum etc that surely meant she was his most special queen.

First of all she has given him a son, that was the chief reason he loved her the most. Second, she was the first begum whom he was not related in any sense. This was an exciting thing for him. He knew Rajputs were bestowed with too many virtues and this he respected. While his own family was conspiring against him, his wife Hira and her relatives remained loyal to him. He knew that his another wife could conspire against him or cheat him but hira even if she hated him(this was not real at all though) could burn herself for her husband's honour. Her faithful love towards Akbar won his heart. Her firm respect for her religion and her courage to keep such demands in front of him also won his respect. Akbar married maryam in his youth, the age when love is at its highest. He was married to ruqayah when he was a child. I guess those who see balika vadhu will understand why their relationship was not so much you know 'blooming love'. With salima it was a pity marriage which ended up in respect and affection.

So that's why he loved maryam the most and was his chief queen. The End 😉

It's true, I hadn't read your posts.

Thanks alot for the clarification.

Hi, Liked ur post. While I completely agree with your reasoning, I don't think the chief reason for Akbar's love fr Mariam was because she gave him his son, because he must have fallen in love long before that .Birth of a son was the result of their love n not the reason of their love😛 The main reason could be, while there were many begums n baandhis who were thirsty of his ek nazar,n ready to sleep with him, Jodha was the only one who not only resisted his advances but also gave a damn fr his kinghood😉 This must hv thrown a challenge infront of him which as his nature goes to say, he not only accepted, n won her love while losing his own heart .😊
