WhenAkbar the Great learned that his beloved sonPrince Salim had turned a rebel, he was shocked. Akbar decided to crush the rebellion and the whole nation grieved. Emotion & duty crossed swords. Akbar's prestige, mother's love and grandmother's affection battled with the sublime love of Salim. Love blossomed stealthily between Salim and Meherunissa. And as the time passed on, it knew no bounds. For Salim and Meherunissa, love was a many pleasured thing. But the world is more cruel than one can think of. And the cruel hands of courtiers created a wide gap between the lovers. Salim was sent to Gujarat to suppress the rebellion of Pathans. Meherunissa was married to Sher Afghan. But it did not end there, Sher Afghan had dreams of a grand empire for himself. Prince Salim became emperor Jahangir after his father's death. Jahangir ruled wisely but was madly in love with Meherunissa. Sher Afghan met the fate of many over-ambitious generals. He was killed. Mehrunissa accused Jehangir, the apostle of justice, for this ghastly deed. The apostle of justice had to face the trail. And the justice was done! It was the justice of Jehangir, it was the justice of God!
