Answer and Explanation:
Mughal-E-Azam is the 1960’s classic in which Dilip Kumar played the character of Prince Salim (Jahangir), and Madhubala played his love Anarkali and immortalized these two characters. Since then that the “love story” of the Prince and his lover has been popularized. However, many historians have questioned the validity of this story. The questions that have arisen,
Was there ever any woman called Anarkali? Was Anarkali buried alive by the Great King Akbar only because of her “illegitimate affair” with his son? Is there any historical truth to this folklore?
There are various versions of this story. Some of them even state that she died a natural death. Her tomb is located in the center of a Pomegranate Garden through which some people believe she got her name.
In Jahangir’s autobiography Tuzuk-i-Jahangiri, Anarkali’s character is not mentioned. Neither in Akbar’s biography, Akbarnama, have any record of Anarkali. Even though the father and son's relations were at their lowest, there is no record of Anarkali in Akbar’s biography, named Akbarnama.
So there is no definite truth about this event that if this part of the story ever existed.
