Sher Afghan was a Mughal courtier and the first husband of Nur Jahan (Mehrunissa), who later married Jahangir and became empress in India. Like his wife, Sher Afghan was a Pashtun immigrant who fled from Afghanistan to India after a fall from grace at the court of the Shah. He was the father of Mehrunissa's only child, a daughter, named Ladli Begum, who would eventually marry Prince Shahryar, a younger son of Jahangir, and rival to Shah Jahan.
