Salim was like himself. 😆
Ok sad one. 😆
Jehangir wasn't as debauched as people think he was. Or as wrapped around Noor's finger as people again, like to imagine. 😆
She was his 20th & last wife, but his most favourite. His beloved queen. It has been recorded how he often said he wants only a bowl of meat soup made by his beloved queen & opium to tide through life!
Salim wasn't really like Akbar.. But they had an un-usually close bond! Jehangir in his memoirs recalls that he was only called Sheikhu Baaba by his father, Akbar. Seikhu Baaba is what Akbar called Chisti, as an endearment.
They obviously had a huge rift when he rebelled against Akbar but they were re-united by the 3 chief wives mainly they say, Ruq & Salima.
I think Jo sided with Akbar so Salim was angry with her or something.. Someone who researches a lot told me this.
But he never attended Jodha's funeral even though it was next door.. So makes sense?
