Quite a post👏 Ruqaiya was the first consort of Akbar and played a very important part in his life until the arrival of Jodha. All that Akbar had wanted to do was posses Jodha but instead she held him captive in her love. Akbar always had a soft corner for Ruqaiya but the love and concern he had for Jodha was surreal. Hence history always name it as Jodha-Akbar. Jodha had a dominated note not only over Akbar's love but also over the administration. This was something no other wife of Akbar could ever have.
As a matter of fact I do feel sad for Ruqaiya for she has loved Akbar with all her heart but could never have his love the way Jodha did. She was a beautiful young lady but her intellect, her charm and her charisma was nothing in comparison to Jodha's. Maybe that's the reason why both Akbar and history forgot her. I really am thankful that Ekta will give glimpse of her life as well.
