Abdur Rahim Khan-i-Khanan, a celebrated poet and noble, was one of the tutors of Prince Salim (Jahangir).

In later years, the alliance between Nur Jahan and Khurram broke. She then supported Shahryar (who was married to her daughter Ladli Begum) for the throne.

The Hiran Minar was built by Jahangir in memory of his favorite pet antelope named Mansraj.

Arjumand Banu Begum, later known as Mumtaz Mahal, was the daughter of Asaf Khan. Her marriage to Prince Khurram cemented the alliance with the Junta.

Nur Jahan's father was Mirza Ghiyas Beg. Jahangir bestowed upon him the title 'Itimad-ud-Daulah' (Pillar of the State).

The Junta consisted of Nur Jahan, her father Itimad-ud-Daulah, her brother Asaf Khan, and Prince Khurram. They effectively controlled the administration.

While Akbar started the construction of his tomb, it was completed by his son Jahangir in 1613, who reportedly modified the design.

Tobacco was introduced by the Portuguese during Akbar's late reign/early Jahangir's reign. Jahangir issued a decree banning its smoking in 1617 due to health concerns, though it remained ineffective.

Jahangir was buried in Shahdara Bagh in Lahore, Pakistan. His tomb was built by his son Shah Jahan.

Mahabat Khan, a prominent general, rebelled and took Jahangir prisoner at the banks of the Jhelum River in 1626, though Nur Jahan eventually secured his release.
