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.
