![]() And even if we make a period film we tend to weave the story around a boy and a girl concept and rest of the events in the movie only cater to complete their story.I wonder who watches these kind of films.(boys and girls from schools and colleges or entertainment hungry viewers). Unfortunately for most of us Indians, the only source of History is either via watching TV serials or a period film(which is still a rarity in current times). My family members have taken to liking Jodha-Akbar movie from Ashutosh Gowaritkar. It seems marriages happened because Akbar was doing philanthropy work(sarcasm), and believed in having wives from all religions.He found in Rajputs as perfect forced conduits for it To me it does seem to be logical, since a lady from Jodhpur has to be Jodha bai, and Akbar married the sister of Raja of Jaipur.One can read the link from Wikipedia Infact, Jodha was wife of Salim( Akbar’s son). What I have read recently says that Akbar’s(Great Mughal emperor) first wife was Hira bai and not Jodha bai. ![]() History is full of surprises(if you haven’t followed it).Sometime back ,I stumbled upon an interesting chapter on Akbar’s personal life while reading a book about him.
