The   &       dialogue is being called as “highly objec- tionable” that presents Mastaani in a “bad light.” However, Arjun clarifies that there’s              nothing derogatory about the dialogue as it is said out of pure love and a certain kind      of jealousy that a wife can have towards her partner. Besides, the third battle of Panipat was fought in 1761, about 20 years after Mastaani and Peshwa Baji Rao died. They were Shamsher Bahadur’s parents, who fought with Sadashiv. In that sense, there was an immediacy of context, he feels. “Shamsher played a crucial role in the bat- tle. So 20 saal pehle jo apna zinda hoga, unka naam toh aayega hi na?
