Since this day was one of great celebration, the harem of Akbar decided to hold a great Mujra (dance performance) by a beautiful girl named Nadeera. Fourteen years later Salim returns as a distinguished soldier to rule the empire in Lahore. Akbar sends him off to war, to teach him courage and discipline. The love story of Salim and Anarkali is a story that every lover knows.
Nevertheless, her story has been adapted into literature, art and cinema. The story was originally written by Indian writer Abdul Halim Sharar and on the first page of that book he had clearly mentioned it to be a work of fiction. It is depicted in the Bollywood movie Mughal-e-Azam that during the Mughal period, she was supposedly ordered to be buried alive between two walls by Mughal emperor Akbar for having an illicit relationship with the Crown-Prince Salim, later to become Emperor Jahangir. It is believed that she was originally from Iran and migrated to Lahore, Punjab.
