As per Wikipedia page on akbar:

Akbar's marriage with Hindu princess Heer Kunwari/Harkha Bai produced important positive effects on both on his personal rule of life and on his public policy.[74][75][76][77] She was also known as Akbar's first and last love - The custom of Hindu rulers offering their daughters for marriage to Muslim rulers, though not common, had been prevalent in the country for several centuries. Yet Akbar's marriage to princess of Amber/Amer is significant, as an early indication of his evolving policy of religious eclecticism.[78] The marriage with the Amer princess secured the powerful support of her family throughout the reign, and offered a proof manifest to all the world that Akbar had decided to be the Badshah or Shahenshah of his whole people i.e. Hindus as well as Muslims.[74]

Tfs but is Wikipedia reliable? Though i do think his liberal policies towards hindus might have been to some extent due to his hindu wives as well but he himself was an intelligent and a strategic emperor!

Does this mean that other 32 wives he had, never received any love from him ?
And except Salim, 5 kids were born to 5 different women from harem. And he never loved even these women ?!!!!!!!
Akbar is a complicated character 😃😆. Why did he marry or keep them in harem ?
He should have let them go. 😆

Hi Vinita, Nice post. Now most of the people believe in their story. I really didn't get it that why is it so difficult for us to believe that AKBAR really loved someone n cared for her. Why is it ? We all know that its polygamy. Even though its polygamy they shared a special bond. we have enough evidences for this.

Well said and completely agree with you. Majority of his children are from Jodha. Also muz was almost 42 when they had their last child. They definitely had to have something special between them. Only 2 to 3 of his children are from other wives or concubines.

Also sikri is another proof.
