anupama reminds me of nur jahan, jehangir wife 
she was forced to marry ali quli a small time crook who became mughal commander later by akbar for saving his foster son rahim life 
there also salim aka emperor jehangir loved her wanted to marry but akbar rejected it 
After akbar death ali quli gets killed an middle aged above 30 year old nur jahan lands as widow and mother of a child (in those times pp married young and had 20 plus year old kids at 35) in mughal place as maid of rquaiah, jehangir step mom 
There ali quli was a maniac demon(like vanraj) he would hit her black blue trouble her so much that she lost 6 or 7 kids before giving birth to her daughter 
jehangir woos her and marries her after 5 years in harem 
Nur jahan plays hard ball to say yes to jehangir although she knows he loves her from teenage days(just like anupama played hard) 
A year or two after maraige she starts controlling jehangir and starts making him give all big post to her father, brother, relatives 
From jail for stealing mughal funds her dad becomes prime minister and her brother becomes commander in chief(like man singh) etc 
She even makes jehangir adopt her sisters son as their son as they have no son as they are in their late 30s, early 40s during wedding 
Than she plays such games that she kills directly or indirectly 3 of jehangirs 5 sons and sidelines his 2 daughters who are very dear to him etc 
finally jehangir is fed up and forced to write in his jehangirmnama "wish my family was half as loyal as my pets"
And jehangir pets were lion, tiger, elephants all wild animals (so you can understand his ishara that his wife and sons are worst than wild animals) 
Best part is nur jahan characteristic is very similar to anupama like she plays hard with her husband and never listens to hubby, 
Ex once nur jahan bad mouthing shah jahan jehangir fav son and insrtigating him to arrst him jehangir gets angry and slaps her and nur jahan slaps him back right in front of all soldiers and musicians and maids 
Later she plays hard when he says sorry and refuses to allow hm in her palace or near her for weeks. 
Total anupama character the mitti churi types 
You must read nur jahan to find how to control hubby even an emperor having 20 other wives who are elder to nur jahan 
In 16th century wife got respect if she gave son or shes eldest in age. Nur jahan was not both yet got Jehangir max attention by blackmailing him ad playing hard just like anupama 
Jehangir character after marrying nur jahan becomes similar to anuj kapadiya. She makes hm away from all his wives and kids and dependent on her and makes him dance to her tunes 
jehangir also gives her all powers that like a emperor that no empress before or after had(like anuj gave full kapadiya business) 
anupama character is inspired by nur jahan in real history
