महाराणा ने कभी भी अधीनता स्वीकार न की। मान सिंह ने अकबर की सेना छोड़ कर प्रताप का साथ दिया।
मानसिंह ने मित्रता को बढ़ने के लिए प्रताप को एक ही थाली में खाना खाने का आग्रह किया पर महाराणा ने इंकार कर बोला कि अपने अपने घर की बेटी किसी ओर के घर ब्याही है राजपूतों को यह बात शोभा नही देती इसलिए हम मित्र नही हो सकते।
