Shah Jehan had no queen named Taj Mahal; it is impossible. Taj means crown; Mahal means building. Is it possible for any woman to have a strange name Crown Building. Mahal is Sanskrit. The court language during Shah Jehan was Persian, where a building is called Manzil, not Mahal.
Shah Jehan's favourite queen's name was Arjumand Zamani not Taj Mahal.

Totally false. It is a British propaganda. Shah Jehan had no wife named Taj Mahal. The queen who was buried next to him was Arjumand Zamani. Akber`s tomb is separate ablout 20 miles from Agra in Sekandra. Shah Jehan never built Taj Mahal, he glot hold of a Hindu Fort and renovated the temple as Mosque as the Muslims always do.

Problem was to decide with the constructors, architects and main builders to be decided. If after building the unique monument, the <creators> allowed to go <free>, they would be able to build another masterpiece like the Taj (at that time, no such building with that dimension was available). So the secretarite and the Emperor Sha Jahan had tob decide, how to eliminate the architects. Some were killed, some cut the tongue, some made blind. Its crucial, torturious but a fact.
