Jahanzeb was the daughter of Crown Prince Dara Shikoh, the eldest son and heir-apparent of Emperor Shah Jahan. Her mother, Nadira Banu Begum, was a Mughal princess and was the daughter of Prince Muhammad Parviz, the second son of Emperor Jahangir and Shah Jahan's older half-brother. Dara Shikoh was favoured by Shah Jahan as well as his older sister, Princess Jahanara Begum, as Shah Jahan's successor. Jahanara had always been an ardent partisan of her younger brother and greatly supported him.
