This actress married the Maharaja of Jodhpur, was “killed” and her son was beheaded; her ghost still “haunts” Umaid Bhawan Palace

It is said that the ghost of this actress still haunts Umaid Bhawan and the royal families in Jodhpur.

The story of actress Zubaida Begum and Maharaja Hanwant Singh is known in history as a tragic tale. They are said to have died in a plane crash, but some believe their deaths were part of a conspiracy.

In 2001, a film was made about her life titled Zubaida, written by her son Khalid Mohammed. The film suggested another reason for her death. To this day, the mystery surrounding their death remains a mystery at the Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur, where some claim to feel her presence as her spirit still haunts the royal families.

Zubaida Begum’s father did not approve of her acting career and made all decisions for her, including arranging her marriage and later divorce. Although she was often kept at home, she found solace in her son and enjoyed parties with her aunt. At the royal wedding in Jodhpur, she caught the eye of Maharaja Hanwant Singh with her beauty and grace.

Death

On January 26, 1952, Zubaida and Maharaja Hanwant Singh died in a plane crash, with some claiming it was a conspiracy. In 2001, her son Khalid Mohammed made a film about her life in which he suggests that her love for the Maharaja was so strong that she chose to die with him. People say her ghost still haunts the Umaid Bhawan Palace in Jodhpur.

After her death, her son, Rao Raja Hukum Singh, known as Tutu, was raised by Rajmata of Jodhpur and later attended Mayo College, Ajmer. He married Rao Rani Rajeshwari Kumari, daughter of Rao Raja Daljit Singh of Alwar. They had a son, Parikshit Singh (born 1974) and a daughter, Jainandini Kanwar (born 1975).

Unfortunately, on April 17, 1981, Tutu was found beheaded on the streets of Jodhpur. Legends say that Zubaida’s restless spirit still haunts the Umaid Bhawan Palace and the nearby royal family school, and some rooms are said to be locked with heavy locks as she is said to be haunted by her spiritual threshold.
