But their love incurred the wrath of the king akbar and their love story ended in a tragedy.she was buried alive by the order of the emperor akbar for having an affair with his son. Not only her love story but also her time less costume got immortalized by epic movies like mughal-e-Azam. Nobody can forget how beatiful and graceful madhubala looked in the movie. She started the trens of anarkali suits. This style went out of the fashion for some time but came back with a bang last year and is here to stay with most of the leading bollywood divas making their red carpet presence and looking gorgeous in these suits.
