Just watched the Ghoomar song. Deepika did a good job. Song is also good but I wonder if regal Queens ever danced in history? wasn't it against the honor of a Queen to dance with dancers?

I doubt it..but that being said there are records of many wives/concubines dancing for the(ir) king in private- as a means of seduction.

They may have also danced with their female slaves in their palace- though given the kind of jewellery etc worn highly unlikely.

Hardly ever especially in Rajasthan. It was & still is, very looked down upon. But private weddings where only the household/noble ladies are present, is a different situation altogether. There, they might.

SLB made a 'thakurain' (Paro) dance with a prostitute (Chandramukhi) ...that was blasphemy 😆 Never ever could something like that have happened in real hist.

But it was portrayed as blasphemy too. Whereas from Paro it was a gesture, she didn't see Chandramukhi as a courtesan, but just as a lover of Devdas.

Besides, they were completely fictional characters..

I don't see a wife and her sautan doing pinga together or a leader like Bajirao doing Malhari either . So yeah SLB gets away with these stuffs in the facade of grandeur.People are way too busy in applauding the whole set up that they ignore such logic .

Thakurains never danced like that in that era forget dancing with a prostitute . Ofcourse SLB took cinematic liberty.
