Anarkali beautiful but too 21st Century mannerisms - Salim is too good.
Real Akbar was cross bet Mongol, turk and Persian actually. If you see real potriat of Akbar in agra taj mahal there is a display I had seen a few years back(not sure if its put up all time) he is short and not look like any of the pictures on web(a bit dark and Chinese kind of face only)
Salim aka Jehangir is very tall over 6 feet and looks a bit indian features and Persian/European feature nothing Mongolian or Chinese features
Shah Jahan also looks more Persian/European than indian or Mongolian and again 6 feet tall
Most pretty was Mumtaz you cannot take your eyes of her so pretty lady
Nur Jahan, Muz etc Okkk but most pretty was Mumtaz (no miss world miss universe can equal her)
If you go to agra you can see inside taj mahal there is a room where all potraits are hung and swords etc they use. But not sure if the place is always open may be sometimes they open.
