Family
Born on 21 September 1569, Shahzada was the eldest daughter of Mughal Emperor Akbar.[1] Her mother was a royal concubine named Bibi Salima (not to be confused with Salima Sultan Begum).[2][3] When Akbar reached Gwalior , he received the news of her birth. He named her Shahzada Khanam and ordered rejoicings.[1] She was placed under the care of her grandmother, Mariam Makani.[2][4]
She was well respected by her older half-brother, Jahangir who remarked – "Among all my sisters , in integrity , truth , and zeal for my welfare , she is without her equal ; but her time is principally devoted to the worship of her creator. "[2][4]
She was deeply grieved on the death of her mother, Bibi Salima on 13th May 1599.[5] Akbar "soothed her somewhat by sympathy and counsels."[6]
Marriage
On late September 1593, Shahzada was married to Prince Muzaffar Husain Mirza, son of Prince Ibrahim Husain Mirza, a descendant of Prince Umar Shaikh Mirza, second son of Amir Timur.[7][8] His mother was Gulrukh Begum, daughter of Kamran Mirza, son of the first Mughal Emperor Babur.[7][9] Her brother, Jahangir, had already earlier been married to a sister of Muzaffar Husain, Nur-un-Nissa Begum.
