Just to make things clear ( according to the history that we have known) *Jodha Bai* was indeed the wife of Akbar. She was his third wife. She was the daughter of Raja Bharmal of Amber . Close to a month older than Akbar. She gave birth to Salim (later as Jehangir). Jehangir later married *Jodhi Bi* and Khurram (later as shah Jahan) was born to them. So according to the histroy we have known, Ashutosh has depicted nothing wrong !
