These days no film is safe from controversy... Latest movie to get into problem is Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus 'Bajirao Mastani'. The Ranveer Singh-Deepika Padukone-Priyanka Chopra starrer has got into the wrong books of the real Bajirao family. It is alleged that the film showcases incorrect facts; following which the royal family descendant openly vented out her anger.

According to an open letter to the director by a descendent of the Peshwas, Mohini Karkarey, the film's latest song "Pinga" promotes "a lot of undesirable elements." She lashed out at Bhansali demanding whether he has done proper research since the movie deals with historical personalities and it's "not fiction".

She further went on to give pointers; among which were - Since Kashibai Saheb was suffering from tuberculosis and had arthritis, she had a limp. And even if she was healthy, Kashibai would never get into a dance routine because that was not in the culture.

"The costumes shown in the song "Pinga were never worn by royal families or even normal women. The way the nauvari was draped did not show even an ounce of skin. Moreover, Kashibai and Mastani met only once in their lifetime and that too formally."

"Mastani was not a courtesan or dancer. She was the daughter of Raja Chatrasaal of Bundelkhand. She was married to Bajirao and was his second wife. Mastani's descendants, the Nawabs of Banda, will give you enough proof of this."

Finally Karkarey ended her letter thus - "Proof of all the facts is available on Peshwe Gharanyacha Itihas by Mr Pramod Oak and you will find plenty more proof here in Peshwe Daptar. Bajirao was a great warrior second only to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. With this so called love story you have made a mockery of him. You have insulted the very essence of Maharashtrian families. This will definitely create a flawed image about such a great personality and his family."
