The Jodha Akbar Controversy

Jodha Akbar is a film by Ashutosh Gowariker, starring a greek god by the name of Hrithik Roshan and an Indian goddess named Aishwarya Rai. They are coming as a pair after a reasonably successful Dhoom 2. The music is by the revolutionary ARR, a legend by its true sense and he has reinforced his status as the best musician on earth thro this movie. but recently this movie has been hit by a spate of controversies. the Movie was recently not allowed to be screened at theatres in rajastan and wsa also banned at ahmedabad. Rajput men and women also attacked the movie at Indore. so what was this controversy all about? lets see
Firstly the protesters claim that the fact that Jodha was Akbar's wife is factually incorrect. According to them, Jodha Bai was not the daughter of Raja Bharmal of Amber as shown in the film. The princess was the daughter of Motaraja Udai Singh of Marwar and that she was married to Akbar's son Salim alias Jehangir. And Mughal king Shahjahan was her son.
this is also supported by noted historians.

Wife or Daughter-in-Law

They have cited books to prove the above claims, Jodha Bai was the wife of Jehangir, aka Salim. Incensed by the distortion of the facts, the Rajput community of Rajasthan has threatened to not only boycott Jodha Akbar, but also stall its release in the state. As per the historical evidences, it was Jehangir who was married to the House of Jodhpur. The princess he thus married later came to be known as Jodhabai.

Real Story

the real story they claim is that Akbar did forge an alliance with the Rajput family, when he married the daughter of Raja Bharmal of Amber. However, there is no evidence to suggest that she was called Jodhabai. Rather, she was later titled ‘Maryam Rahmani’ or ‘Mother of Rulers of the Universe’. Infact, Gowariker has himself claimed that there is some confusion regarding the name of the Rajput wife of Akbar. Nonetheless, he claims to have taken permission from the Royal Family of Jaipur to use the name Jodha Bai.

so thats the story behind Jodha akbar. but i've also heard that its a lovely movie and that the stars are a treat to watch. thats usually what happens when u have adonis as the hero and the worlds most beautiful lady as the female lead. looking forward to watch the movie.
