The remaining daughter, Amina Banu Begum, was brought to the palace, where, from grief, she died an early death. Piari Banu Begum and two of her daughters committed suicide. In 1660, she fled to Arakan with her husband, sons and daughters. She was the mother of two sons and three daughters, namely, Prince Zain-ud-din Mirza, born on 28 October 1639 Prince Zain-ul-Abidin Mirza, born on 20 December 1645 Gulrukh Banu Begum (wife of Prince Muhammad Sultan), Raushan Ara Begum and Amina Banu Begum. On the death of his first wife, he married Piari Banu Begum, daughter of Azam Khan, the second governor of Bengal during Shah Jahan's reign. Her daughter was named Dilpazir Banu Begum by Shah Jahan, who died as an infant. She was buried in a separate mausoleum named Kharbuza Mahal, at Burhanpur. The following year, she gave birth to a daughter and died in childbirth. On 23 February 1633, the wedding presents worth Rupees 10 lakhs were displayed by Jahanara Begum and Sati-un-nissa Khanum. Rupees 1,60,000 in cash and goods worth one lakh were sent as sachak to the mansion of Mirza Rustam. The marriage was arranged by Princess Jahanara Begum. Shah Shuja first married Bilqis Banu Begum, the daughter of Rustam Mirza (son of Murad Mirza & grandson of Akbar), on the night of Saturday, 5 March 1633. He had three sons - Sultan Zain-ul-Din (Bon Sultan or Sultan Bang), Buland Akhtar and Zainul Abidin and four daughters - Gulrukh Banu, Roshanara Begum and Amina Begum. Shuja's siblings were the eldest sister Jahanara Begum, Dara Shikoh, Roshanara Begum, Aurangzeb, Murad Baksh, Gauhara Begum and others. It was also an honour for the empress as Shuja was a special favourite of his grandfather, emperor Jahangir.

This new responsibility was given to her due to her high rank, political clout and Jahangir's affection for her. Shah Jahan's step-mother, empress Nur Jahan adopted Prince Shah Shuja upon his birth. He was the second son and fourth child of the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan and his queen Mumtaz Mahal.

Shah Shuja was born on 23 June 1616, in Ajmer.
