Historical
This fictional story is set back in the year 1626 during the Mughal Sultanate in India. The story is mainly based on the powerful Mughal Empress, Nur Jahan, who was the twentieth wife of the fourth Mughal Emperor-Jahangir. This story is about how Nur Mahal(name given to her by Jahangir) once saved Jahangir from the rebel king Mahabat Khan. Nur Jahan was born as Mehrunnisa to Mirza Ghias Beg and Asmat Begum, who were refugees from Persia and came to India to improve their fortunes. She was born on 31st May, 1577 and was the second daughter and fourth child of the family. She had a love affair with Crown Prince Salim(later Emporer Jahangir), but was married to Sher Afgan(aka Ali Quli was made the jagirdar of Burdwan in West Bengal by Jahangir) by Akbar. Sher Afgan was killed by Jahangir for treachery. Some rumours say that Jahangir did so as he was in love with Mehrunnisa and wanted to marry her. After Sher Afgan's death, Mehrunnisa fled from Bengal to the royal zenana(the women quarters of the palace). After four years, she eventually married Jahangir. Her father served under Akbar as the treasurer of Kabul; and also under Jahangir where he rose to power because of her daughter. Her brother, Abul Asaf Khan was loyal general who served under Jahangir. Nur Jahan also arranged for her daughter Ladli to marry Jahangir's youngest son, Shahryar and her niece Arjumand Banu Begum (later known as Mumtaz Mahal) to marry Prince Khurram (the third son of Jahangir and the future Emperor Shah Jahan). Jahangir's affection and trust of Nur Jahan led to her wielding a great deal of power in affairs of state. Jahangir's addiction to opium and alcohol made it easier for Nur Jahan to exert her influence. For many years, she effectively wielded imperial power and was recognized as the real force behind the Mughal throne. Now let's begin with the story.

3 brothers, 3 women and 3 stories The vicious love of royals is a combination of 1 family and 3 vicious romances 1. THE VICIOUS BET Daharthya Rajput, the Maharaja Sahab, ruler of Vardhgarh, the holder of immense power. This was his identity, one that everyone know of, but was it all a man of no manner had to offer? He was a bad man, no privation. A ludicrous person no repudiation. But what if even a bad man got themself a love story? A love story with another, bad woman. Ahilya Rajadi belonged to a renowned family in Gujrat. Did she know that her one statement and her attitude to Raja Sahab of Vardhgarh, Rajasthan have a consequence so treacherous? Did she know that she will win over a bet in a chess game? 2. THE VICIOUS RESCUE The man has the eyes of a devil. This is what a woman said when they met their gaze with bade hukum of Vardhgarh. They called him dangerous just because he looked like one. But are words truly justification for someone's real self? Ekvarthya might be a man with devil's eyes, but he was also a man with lord's heart. And when the eyes of the devil and the heart of the lord find a girl suffering under an epicure man. Will he save her like a deity or tear the world apart like a demon? Jinitya suffered and never complained, and prayed for faith but her questions were asked by the Satan of hell rather the god of heaven. 3. THE VICIOUS DEALER Samaira was promised to his brother, destined to be married to Daharthya, she was out of reach, the person he was never supposed to see, at least not with the eyes of what he first saw her. It was all boundaries, one that should never cross. But luck is always in favour of a man who deserves it. And Jasvanthya did. The chote hukum of Vardhgarh was affected by dreams of a girl he knew he could never have, but now she was there in his bed. Next to him. As his wife. And yet he can't touch her. Not look at her. How come being next to her, she is still unreachable as she was ever?
