Nigar Sultana: Bahar
Quotes
-
Servant : [as she sees a crown over Bahar's head] Oh! my queen don't you fear that someone would see you in this crown, and that would cause trouble as many girls would die for this.
Bahar : Those who wear crowns do not fear. If they do, the crown won't last long on their head.

[Akbar has awarded Sangtaraash for his work - and has ordered him to marry Anarkali]
Sangtaraash : [laughing] There is a short distance between the oppression and justice of kings.
Bahar : You should be delighted that the king is honouring you with prizes and gifts.
Sangtaraash : Delighted? Only weak people show happiness. I was making a joke.
Bahar : So you are not agreed to his views.
Sangtaraash : [throwing away the king's award] No, I am not.
Bahar : Do you know the result?
[both of them look at the sculptor's unfinished piece of the death sentence]
Sangtaraash : Perhaps this sculpture may be completed with my blood!

[Salim is stroking Anarkali's face with a feather - meanwhile, Bahar is watching them. She accidentally rustles some leaves, startling the couple]
Anarkali : Prince! Someone is watching us...
[she leaves, with a dismayed Salim watching her go]
Prince Saleem : Whoever disobedient person dares to come here must be present at the palace.
[he also leaves. Later, Bahar comes to him in the palace]
Bahar : Your slave is here.
[he grabs a dagger and hurls it at her, but just misses]
Bahar : [taking the dagger and handing it to him] The disobedience of the dagger surprises me. And I lament my wretched life. Give the insolent dagger one more chance of victory - I have enough blood in me.
