About Historical Characters:
Bharat (India), land of world’s Philosophy, Wisdom, ancient science & technology documented in Vedas & Upanishads, Mathematics, Astronomy, Yoga, Meditaion, Arts, Literatures, and oldest Sanatan Dharma (Hinduism) civilization since human evaluations & only continuous history of last 12000+ years, was attacked by Abrahmics faiths since 12th century onwards both by sea and land routes from western sides.
North-West side: Post 12th century, First by Arab/Turk/Persian/Bagdadis barberian invaders called Mughals/Nizams/Shahs, etc via land route of Afgan/Persia towards India’s Nort-West.
South-West Coastal Side: Then post 1498, when European spy Vasco Da Gama landed in India via sea route to India’s south-west. Then later barberian Portugese, British, French attacked India, which is still contined but in proxy form!
Many Hindu warriors & kings faught with barberian cunning Abrahmic invaders to re-established Hindu (Sanatana Dharma) civilization, they succeed later.
After Hindu King Shivaji Bhosale (1627 – 1680) re-established Hindu empire in western-central part of India defeating Arab/Turk/Persian invaders – called as Mughals/Nizams/Adil Shaha and keeping full check on barberian so called Traders British/French/Portuguese….on western coast. He built india’s first neval forts and neval army at western coast near Mumbai-Goa.
After Shivaji’s death in 1680, maratha dynasty appointed many Peshwas (Prime ministers) & other positions to local brave warriors to tackle all side attack on Kingdom.
Brave warrior Bajirao PeshwaI (18 Aug 1700 – 28 Apr 1740), born in Maharastrian (marathi) Brahmin family, a great Hindu Maratha warrior of Maratha Empire based in Pune, Maharashtra State (played by actor Ranveer Singh).
He had wife named Kashibai (played by actor Priyanka Chopra) but later falls in Love to a Muslim Mistress/Dancer – Mastani (played by actor Deepika Padukon)
Not just Singing and Dance, but Mastani was skilled in Swordsmanship, Horse-riding and Spear-Throwing. Mastani used to join Bajorao Peshwa on his various battle missions.
Some historians say that Mastani was daughter of Hindu Rajput King Chhatrasal of Budelkhand (now in Uttar Pradesh) through his Persian-Muslim mistress! Bajirao Peshwa met Mastani during his meeting with King Chhatrasal and fall in Love.
Bajirao’s unfaithfulness towards first wife and relationship with mistress daughter Mastani angered his mother –Radhikabai, younger brother Chimaji Appa (1707-1741…great commander of Maratha who freed western coast from then Portuguese rule) and other higher administration authorities in his kingdom, who rejected mistress Mastani as second legal wife of Bajirao Peshwa as people wouldn’t accept such illegitimate mistress cum wife for their brave warrior king.
Some historian believes that Bajirao Pehswa did marry to Mastani and she was his second wife. Also, other story alleges that Mastani was Bajirao’s Concubine/Mistress and not legal wife.
Mastani later gave birth to Bajirao’s son -Shamsher Bahadur Peshwa. But, Bajirao’s family, local internal politics and conflicts never accepted him as legitimate heir. Bajirao also had a son from first wife Kashibai.
Due to Bajirao’s more attachment towards Mastani than legal wife Kashibai, there were political ups-downs in his internal administrations and family life. Mastani also faced much hatred in Bajirao’s kingdom. But, in spite of all turmoil, Bajirao Peshwa remained unbeatable in his 47 war missions to protect and re-established Hindu Maratha Kingdom all across Indian subcontinent.
Bajirao Peshwa was operating from his capital city of Pune, now in western Indian state of Maharashtra. He built famous Shanivar wada Palace (see picture below) during 1730-1732 for his ruling, where he and all of his family used to live (including a separate place for Mastani near by). Today remains of Mastani Mahal (Palace), her panting and other items are kept in famous Raja Kelkar Museum-Pune.
Ceremonial stone of Shaniwarwada Fort (Saturday Palace) which has 5 Gates, was laid on Saturday January 10th 1730, construction was completed in 1732. It is now one of most viewed Tourist Places in Pune City.
After Bajirao Peshwa’s sudden death on a battle journey due to fever at early age (~37), Mastani took drastic step of suicide as she could not bear this pain!
This Love story of great warriors Bajirao-Mastani has very special place in Indian history.

Interesting fact:
Year 1967, in the memory of this famous Bajirao-Mastani Love story, a Pune city Ice-Cream shop – Sujata Cold Drink House at Sadashiv Peth area, had prepared special thick ice-cream Brand called Sujata “Mastani” 🙂
Shop has branches all across city and available in various flavors – Mango,Kesar Badam, Orange, Choco chips, Sitaphal, Strawberry, Vanilla-Orange-Pineapple, Black Grpes, Lichi, etc. Sujata “Mastani” is now one of must have Food attractions in Pune city.
Its very difficult to shoot a complete 5 minute song in Single Take (two steps) using 100+ supporting dancers, with constantly changing camera angles and Actor’s cloths, but Director Ms Farah Khan managed to do this difficult task in this Creative song shoot in her 2004 hit movie Main Hoon Na (I am here), see below (with English Translation).
Why Indian/Bollywood movies has Songs? Probably cultural effect which reflects in our movies too! We believe Life is celebration, which is incomplete without song, colours and dance. Indians are expressing their emotions in poetry since 10000+ years i.e. during our great Hindu founding fathers Rishis/Yogis days, who wrote many Hindu scriptures in Mantras/Hymns/Kavyas!
Even many difficult Scientific, Philosophical, Maths and Astronomy things in Hindu scriptures are in written in Mantras/Kavyas to understand easily by masses! 🙂
Songs are easy way to express emotions, understand and remember the message! But obvious, outsiders who don’t know Indian culture will find it weird!
Watch Creativity and Hardwork behind in shooting one complete song on single set with 100+ dances in Single Take.
