Mariam uz-zamani (Other Names:Rukmavati Sahiba, Rajkumari Hira Kunwari, Harkha Bai). was a Mughal Empress, after her marriage to Mughal Emperor Akbar .

Her name as in Mughal chronicles was Mariam-uz-Zamani. This is why the mosque of Mariyam Zamani Begum was constructed in The Walled City Of Lahore, present day Pakistan, by her son Jahangir. She was also the sister of Bhagwant Das and the aunt of Man Singh I of Amber.^[3]

There is a popular perception that the wife of Akbar, mother of Jahangir, was known as "Jodha Bai"

The only time, the name Jodha Bai appears in Mughal chronicles is in reference to Jahangir's (Akbar's son) hindu wife, who was also called Jodha Bai amongst other names.

Nothing more written about Jodha/ Harkha bai on wiki. I think though jodha bai was one of the queens of Akbar, there's no such evidence that she was the most lovable of his wives and changed akbar 180degrees.😉
So. the show as for jodha akbar love story is concerned, will be more of fiction.Hope the rest of the story rests on history only.
