Bajirao Mastani Completes Five Years: Five Things We Absolutely Loved About Priyanka Chopra's Fierce Kashi Bai Avatar

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Bajirao Mastani starring Ranveer Singh, Priyanka Chopra and Deepika Padukone proved to be a cinematic experience that enthralled one and all. The visuals, the characterisation and the story moved one and all. It has been five years since the release, and still Bajirao Mastani is hailed to be one of the best films we have seen in the last decade. While the story was about Bajirao and his undying love for Mastani, one character that stood out the most was of Kashi Bai played by Priyanka Chopra.

Kashi Bai's strength, devotion and loyalty moved everyone. Priyanka Chopra managed to slip into the character of Kashi Bai gracefully who embodied several emotions that are heard to portray. On this note, here are five things that we absolutely loved about Kashi Bai.

Childlike Energy - Kashi Bai as portrayed by Priyanka Chopra managed to emote a childlike energy that was infectious. Even though married to a Peshwa, Kashi Bai in the film did not let her innocence and grace slip away.

Love for husband - Kashi Bai considered her husband as her 'guroor'. She loved him dearly, to a degree where she even agreed to take care of his second wife as she was his 'zaroorat'.

Confidence - Kashi Bai emoted confidence in every scene, be it when she danced to celebrate her husband's victory or while dancing with her husband's second wife in Pinga.

Her love for the Maratha empire - Kashi Bai proved to be nothing less than a warrior who stood by her husband and prayed for his victory every time he stepped out for war. She did not even give up on the Peshwa traditions when she welcomed Mastani in her home. (Also Read: Five Years Of Bajirao Mastani: Priyanka Chopra Celebrates The 'Gentle Strength' Of Kashi Bai)
