Even the story behind the Taj Mahal has been unique and can be seen only in movies. The question still remains,? Is there a Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal in today?s life and age who would love each other so much??

The answer can be yes as well. However, let?s know the complete story of the Taj for the same.

Shah Jahan wanted to marry Mumtaz Mahal when she was 19 years old, however, Jahangir who was the father of Shah Jahan wanted to fix the marriage of Mumtaz Mahal with the younger brother of Shah Jahan.

Shah Jahan went against his father Jahangir for this reason and they both had a war. Finally, Shah Jahan got married with Mumtaz Mahal after 5 years. The first thing which Shah Jahan did to show his love for Mumtaz Mahal is to win her in any case. His love never failed and Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal got married in 1612 A.D.

Mumtaz Mahal was his support in all the matters of administration, family and in all the other aspects which the Emperor needed. She followed him at every war and was an evergreen companion for him. Though she was frequently pregnant she always supported him in all his life?s battles and finally in 1628 A.D. Shah Jahan became the Emperor of Agra. The great victory for Shah Jahan was due to his great talent and the love and support of his wife. Thus it is truly said that ?behind every successful man there is a woman.?

Shah Jahan being of the Mughal family had others wives as well, however, he was always attached with Mumtaz Mahal, the most beautiful and supporting wife. After 2 years of his reign as the Emperor of Agra, Mumtaz Mahal became sick when she was following him at Burhanpur for a war. More than her health she thought it necessary to support her husband. Even when she was belonging to the Mughal family she was supporting her husband in all his battles to encourage him all the time.
