Hi! I have to be clear in one fact. Actually Akbar hessitated to kill Hemu. It was Bairam Khan,who actually killed Hemu. When Bairam Khan asked Akbar to kill Hemu, Akbar just took his sword and kept near the neck of Hemu. He did not killed Hemu. But Bairam Khan did not want Hemu to be excused. So Bairam Khan at once thrushed the head of Hemu and killed him.
