Answer:
Nur Jahan (1575-1645) whose original name was Mihr-un-Nisa, was the daughter of Mirza Ghiyas Beg who belonged to a noble family of Persia. Evil days fell upon him and he had to leave his native place and in search of fortune he moved towards India. When he reached Qandhar, his wife gave birth to a daughter who later on became the most beloved queen of emperor Jahangir. With the help of a friend, he was able to get some job during Akbar’s time. On account of his talents, he gained importance in the court.
Divergent views have been expressed regarding the marriage of Nur Jahan with Jahangir. According to one version Jahangir earlier known as prince Salim chanced to see Mihr-un-Nisa when she used to come to the palace of emperor Akbar with her mother and fell in love with her. But Akbar got her married to an Afghan chief named Sher Afghan.
When Salim became the emperor of Delhi, he got Sher Afghan killed and married Mihr-un-Nisa and Nur Mahal (Light of the Palace) and later on Nur Jahan (Light of the World). However, according to the other version, there was no such romance
