Margot Robbie's Rs 73 Cr Taj Mahal Necklace Sparks Backlash at Premiere

  • Margot Robbie wore the historic Taj Mahal necklace, valued at Rs 73 crore, to the Wuthering Heights premiere in Los Angeles.
  • The necklace, once owned by Elizabeth Taylor, has Mughal Empire origins and was originally gifted by Emperor Jahangir to Noor Jahan.
  • Robbie's comments about the necklace's "romantic history" and association with Mumtaz Mahal drew criticism for historical inaccuracy.
  • Social media users accused Robbie of not fully understanding the jewel's origins, highlighting its Indian Mughal roots before colonial collections.
  • The diamond, bearing an inscription "Love is Everlasting" and Noor Jahan's name, later passed to Shah Jahan and became linked to Mumtaz Mahal and the Taj Mahal.
