Sharing the picture, she wrote, “Whether in love or war, Mastani was fuelled by her passion, unafraid to write her own destiny, no matter how perilous the path. She never bowed down and always stood her ground with a fierce dignity and a love so strong that its burning embers seared through every societal constraint, to join both her and her lover’s names, for all of eternity... @ranveersingh @priyankachopra @bhansaliproductions #5YearsOfMastani #5YearsOfBajiraoMastani #BajiraoMastani.”

Deepika had starred opposite now husband Ranveer Singh in the film. While Deepika played the role of Mastani, Ranveer played Peshwa Bajirao and Priyanka Chopra played his wife, Kashibai. This was Ranveer and Deepika’s second film together with Bhansali after 2013’s Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela.
