Some one was asking me about a romantic angle in Rana Pratap's life. A sweet but sad story
here is something I found
Maharana's biggest support came from his lovely wife, Ajabade. He married her when he was seventeen. She was only 15 at that time. Before they became couple they were best friends. He shared with her all his thoughts, his strategies, ambitions and fears. She blindly supported him even we his idea was outrageous sometimes befitting his young age. The only time complications or sweet misunderstandings cropped up between them was when their friendship slowly but naturally transformed to love. Ajabade transformed into a dutiful and loyal wife to Maharana Pratap. She also understood and performed her duties as a mother to the soldiers of Rana whose heads bowed with sheer reverence to the lovely queen. Ajabade bore Rana a son, Amar Singh who like his father was equally valorous.
One of the saddest losses to Maharana Pratap was the untimely death of Ajabade. Even more difficult for him was to marry Rattanpanwar, the younger sister of Ajabade. Ajabade forced Rana to marry again on her death bed which took even the Rana by surprise. Rattanpanwar unlike her sister revolted against Rana and his Spartan life style. She wanted to live like any of the other rajput princess and queens in luxury and comforts. He treated her tantrums and ran tings with indulgence and certain vocal silence. It was the sheer magnetic personality of the Rana and his forbearance (there was an age gap between Rana and Soira) which slowly brought about the required change in Rattanpanwar.
