MUMBAI:
Jodha Akbar continues to be in the news
for all the wrong reasons. The Rajput community
who had earlier voiced their objections against
alleged historical inaccuracies in the film
has once again raised the issue. The Rajput
Sabha has said that they will not allow Asutosh
Gowariker to release the film unless and until
he removes the inaccuracies.
Rajput
Sabha head Narendra Singh Rajawat has contended
that Gowariker is presenting Jodhabai as Akbar's
wife, which is factually incorrect, adding that
Jodhabai was not the daughter of Raja Bharmal
of Amber as shown in the film.
Jodhabai
was the daughter of Motaraja Udai Singh of Marwar
and was married to Akbar's son Salim alias Jehangir.
Mughal king Shahjahan was her son, he explained.
Rajawat
said such distortion of historical facts had
hurt the feelings of the Rajput community.
The
community has also urged the courts to restrain
Gowariker from showing Jodhabai as the daughter
of Raja Bharmal of Amber.
He
said that the name of Raja Bharmal's daughter
was Harkabai alias Heera Kunwar.
The
Rajput community is all set to boycott the film
which is due for a 15 February release.
