TIL Desk Bollywood/A Chhatisgarh royal said filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali must show ‘Padmavati’ to the Rajput organisations as the film is related to history, and has slammed the way the movie has a song depicting a Rajput queen doing the ‘ghoomar’ dance.
Heena Singh Judeo, daughter-in-law of Dilip Singh Judeo of Chhattisgarh’s erstwhile royal family, told, “Our only demand is that the filmmaker should show us what the movie is, because it is related to the history.”
“History has witnessed that none of the Rajput maharanis has ever danced in front of anyone, and they cannot play with history,” she said, indicating the ‘Ghoomar’ song which features the film’s lead actress Deepika Padukone.
The royal said filmmakers must respect Rani Padmavati “who did Jauhar (self-immolation) with 16,000 ladies, and who gave her life for Rajputana and Hindutva, but they are showing it in another way.”
