Heer Kunwari's marriage to emperor Akbar was a significant development in history and depicted his religious tolerance. The concept of offering Hindu Rajput ladies in marriage to Muslim rulers started to be viewed with respect and admiration, post the marriage of Akbar and Jodha Bai. His marriage with her bore testimony to the fact that Akbar made an attempt to be the Badshah of Muhammadans as well as Hindus, and that he viewed them as equals. Manbhawati Bai, the niece of Heer Kunwari who was also known as Manmati Bai married her son Salim on 13th February, 1585
