Anarkali born Nadira Begum or Sharf-un-Nissa, was a legendary salve girl. It is depicted in the Bollywood movie Mughal-e-Azam that during the Mughal period, she was supposedly ordered to be buried alive between two walls by Mughal emperor Akhbar for having an illicit relationship with the Crown-Prince Salim, later to become Emperor Jahangir. Due to the lack of evidence and sources, the story of Anarkali is widely accepted to be false for the evidence of her grave and body. The story of Anarkali is not mentioned in the Akbarnama nor in Tuzuk-e- Jahangiri. It was first mentioned by an English tourist and trader William Flinch in his journal, who visited India on 24 August 1608. The story was originally written by Indian writer Abdul Halim Sharar and on the first page of that book he had clearly mentioned it to be a work of fiction. Nevertheless, her story has been adapted into literature, art and cinema.
Syed Imtiaz Ali Taj (1900–1970) a dramatist wrote a play Anarkali, based on the life of Anarkali, that staged hundreds of times and was adapted for feature films in India and Pakistan, including the Indian film Mughal-e-Azam (1960).

May be fictional still it has a ring of truth people wished it so.
Jehangir was depicted as good he was not: Mughals were mostly indolent and weak their empire crumbled India was corrupt then as it is now.Jehangir was given to religious persecution that was a serious aberration in that religion- intolerance among well-read people.
No other religion was so intolerant even Akbar portrayed as good was bad absolutely he killed thousands of innocents even Muslims
