Yes, Man Singh and Akbar looked like two childhood buddies wispering to each other. Majority of Akbar's childhood friends like adham etc were selfish, but Man singh was not like that. It did not matter to him Akbar is an emperor, Akbar to him is just his friend. Indeed, it was said that in Akbar's court only Man Singh had braveness to oppose or say no to akbar among all ministers and nobels to anything he did not agree/like. That shows he does not care for Jalal's status as a emperor but only as a good friend. Although akbar used to call him farzand(son). While all other navrathna's did not speak their mind and accepted "Din-e-illahi" religion only man singh, bhagwan das and rahim khan-e-khana refused it saying they are happy with their religion. Shows that all three spoke their mind and not busy trying to get in good books of Akbar.
In those times there were three great warriors
Akbar
Pratap
Man Singh
Two great poets and writers
Rahim- Khan-e-khana
Tulsi das
In a recent poll Rahim is listed as second greatest hindi poets of all times after Kabir
