In reality there is no love story as such...history does not corroborate any instance of Akbar's romance with Jodhabai in the real sense, He married Hira Kunwari, who gave him heir for the throne. Even this fictious tale came into existence from the end of 18th century when a foreigner recorded folklore in Rajasthan. Jodhabhai is his DIL's name
Even after Hira Kunwari, Akbar had many wives and concubines
