It began under Aurangzeb, because he had all of those corrupt Nawabs to rule the distant parts of the Empire. It was the action of a corrupt Nawab that started the Pashtun insurgency.
-
The Empire started to dramatically decline after the death of Emperor Aurangzeb Alamgir because of weak rulers who started to divide the empire into small city states for their own gain.
-
Also remember, towards the end, there was a Pashtun rebellion. So essentially he was fighting multiple insurgencies and wars of expansion. Essentially it was merely Shah Jahan's extravagance by another name. The Mughal Empire at the time of his death was actually weaker than it was when he took the throne.
-
The problem with Aurangzeb was his intolerance. The kind of intolerance that turned otherwise loyal subjects into bitter enemies. Plus Aurangzeb rapidly expanded the Empire further, spending a lot more of the treasury on campaigns in the Deccan. So there was still extravagance, but on waging war, which sapped the treasury.

@suryavajra Auranzeb was a one of the greatest emperors too. If it was not for him then Mughal empire would have collapsed a lot earlier after Jahangir's poor ruling and Shahjahan's extravagance.

@suryavajra Thanks for the info.

I believe it's called "The Last Mughal"

Babur, Humayun and Akbar worked hard and fought hard and struggled. The rest never really had to,

@mnkhan2020 You said that Mughals would be no where without Indian Subcontinent and that the Mongols have destroyed everything in china, central Asia & afghan territories till turkey. But you didn't say that Islam made the Mongols to become what they became: The Mughuls. India didn't give the Mughals anything free; the Mughuls earned it by their bravery.
one day, i shall go and pay my respects to this great poet who died in anguish, away from his beloved land. will carry a handful of unke watan ki mitti too-

HaroonMogul , You missed the point in referring to Mughals as Indians. Aside from the first two Mughal rulers, the moghals born in Indian were the sons and daughters of India. You are making it look like the all Mughal rulers ruled their empire as foreign tyrants. That was not so.
