zafarWished the circumstances were different and he wasn’t cooped up in the small house in Delhi.

He was born on October 24, 1775, son of Akbar Shah and his hindu wife Lalbai.

At least he is with Zinat Mahal, his favourite of his four wives.

We wish him well.

  1. Garima Said,

    His birth year of 1775 makes the story way to ancient. Was Zinta his youngest wife?

  2. Sepoy Sunny Kalara Said,

    No, her wife’s name was Zeenat Mahal (not Zinta, but thats a mistake I can understand).
    His youngest wife was Taj Mahal. But Zeenat was his favorite and she wielded significant influence on him.

    At this time, all of his four wives are with him in a small house in Delhi.
