This Mughal king loved tawaifs

A tawaif was a courtesan singer‚ dancer‚ and poet who catered to the nobility, particularly during the Mughal era.

Many girls were taken at a young age and trained in performing arts.

Tawaifs were largely a North Indian institution central to Mughal court culture.

They traditionally served as long-term, loyal mistresses to wealthy patrons.

One Mughal king was a popular name at the brothels.

The name of that king was Bahadur Shah Zafar, who was the last Mughal Emperor.
