Saidul Hasan Qadri wants to create a marvel in his wife’s memory, and he has turned to none other than Mughal emperor Shah Jahan for inspiration. After the demise of his wife, Tajammuli Begum, the 78-year-old put his entire life savings of Rs 10 lakh in creating a replica of the Taj Mahal in the town of Dibai in Bulandshahr district of Uttar Pradesh.
