Margot Robbie's ₹74-crore Taj Mahal necklace sparks controversy

Margot Robbie wore a famous necklace called the Taj Mahal necklace to a movie premiere.

The necklace is worth a lot of money and has a special history.

It was first owned by a Mughal Empress named Nur Jahan, who was given it by her husband, Emperor Jehangir.

Later, it was passed down to their son, Shah Jahan, who gave it to his wife, Mumtaz Mahal.

The Taj Mahal monument was built in Mumtaz Mahal's memory.

The necklace was later taken to the US and bought by an actress named Elizabeth Taylor.

Now, it is owned by a company called Cartier.

Many people in India were upset because they felt the necklace's Indian history was not talked about enough.

They wanted the necklace to be acknowledged as part of India's heritage.
