Viren, it is entirely possible (and in my opinion more probable) to be true, what you said.
And yet, there are others (like PN Oak, JM Eliott) who see a very strange pattern repeated several times in the life of Akbar. The pattern surely existed.
- a hight profile courtier of Akbar
- an allegedly attractive wife of his
- courtier sent on a mission by Akbar
- untimely, intriguing and mysterious death meets him there
- widow married or simply accepted to Harem by Akbar
At the very least, it is very very interesting. Worth a plot for mystery novel. (I had come across one such novel, which dealt with the event of the murder of Attilla the Hun - the tyrant of Hungary, who was mysteriousely killed on his wedding night after marrying the daughter of his defeated German foe. The novel dealt with investigating the murder, centuries later. Very interesting read.)
