good update, Harshu..
frankly the only good thing in the episode was Shahuji becoming "Chhatrapati"...rest of the things ok..
felt actually bad for Kashi...she is becoming Ruku part 2... Ruku atleast was shown a sweet girl in childhood, but here Kashi is shown a brat from the tender age itself..
actually she is said to be very sweet that she was famous with the nickname "Laddoo"...soft and sweet...but here seems , CVs have decided to butcher her character right from start so later they can show it as reason for Bajirao to fall for Mastani...
but Kashibai was not like that...even Bajirao was aware of her devoted nature and he was really fond of her, and respected her most...just may be coz of the family responsibilities , she couldn't give him all attention he needed, that may have pushed him to find his soulmate in Mastani...but that doesn't mean , he left Kashi and never looked at her...Kashibai always remained as his "Dard ki Saathi", his most trusted person to share his feelings...and he never gave that place to even Mastani...
the truth is, if his family had accepted Mastani, then may be we would never had heard abt the lovestory angle..may be then Mastani would have remained as one of Bajirao's wife...but like Baji today said he is like air, that nobody can catch...being in that era , Radhabai and Chima were very orthodox, unlike Baji who was rather much ahead of time...and so when his family refused to accept Mastani, it became his obsession to keep her in his life...
Bajirao was the man of his own mind...and that being the main reason btw the rift btw both brothers, Baji and Chima...if CVs stayed not to butcher the history, we will get to see, in future, Baji's bravery, humanity, selflessness v/s Chimaji's shrewd intelligent politics...and trust me it's just too fascinating than that so called lovestory...
