Jodhaa Akbar: Man Mohana

from the movie "Jodhaa Akbar" (2008) staring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Hrithik Roshan. Jodhaa Bai is a Rajput Princess and Akbar is Emperor of Hindustan (aka India). What makes this love story unique is Jodhaa is Hindu and Akbar is Muslim. Their marriage is based on political alliances between him and the Rajput King. However Jodhaa mentions that she will only marry Akbar if she is allowed to remain a Hindu and she can have a small temple in her quarters. Akbar agrees. In this scene, Jodhaa is praying to Krishna and this is the first time Akbar has seen her face to face.
