"Once upon a time there lived a prince named Khurram. He was the son of Jehangir, and the grandson of Akbar the Great.

One day Khurram went to the Meena Bazaar with his friends. There he caught a glimpse of an extremely beautiful girl who was selling silk and glass beads.

The girl was Arjumand Banu Begum. She was born in a family of a Persian nobility.

After meeting her, Khurram went back to his father and said that he wanted to marry her. Khurram married Arjumand Banu Begum in 1612, five years after their first meeting."

At this point Tarun stopped his grandfather : "But, grandfather, I don't want to hear the story of prince Khurram. I want to know about the Taj Mahal."
