Born on October 24, 1618 CE, at Dohad in the Bombay Presidency, he ruled over some of the largest territories when compared to any other leader in Indian history. Aurangzeb lived devoid of all princely stature. Back in powerIn 1644, Aurangzeb’s eldest sister Jahan Ara — Shah Jahan’s favourite daughter — suffered from a burn injury. Shah Jahan was furious as Aurangzeb did not come back immediately and took more than three weeks to return to Agra. Jahan Ara took time to heal and finally, when she recovered, the emperor was so happy that he could not refuse her anything.
