Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali's
Padmavati
has
been
mired
in
controversies
over
its
release
with
several
outfits
alleging
that
history
has
been
distorted
in
the
movie.
Both,
Bhansali
and
Deepika
have
received
death
threats
for
being
a
part
of
the
film.
Asked
about
how
she
sees
death
threats
being
given
to
another
actor,
Juhi
told
reporters,
"I
am
not
speaking
of
'Padmavati'
the
film
but
the
threats
were
not
right.
You
watch
the
same
heroine
in
other
films,
go
crazy
for
her,
you
love
her
so
much,
she
has
tremendous
fan
following.
Then,
to
threaten
her
like
this,
I
didn't
feel
was
right."
Juhi
was
speaking
at
the
launch
of
Jyotin
Goel's
book
"Bheem-
Destiny's
Warrior" last
evening
here.
Various
Rajput
groups
and
political
leaders
have
accused
Bhansali
of
distorting
history
by
filming
a
romantic
dream
sequence
between
Rajput
queen
Padmini
and
Sultan
Alauddin
Khilji,
a
claim
repeatedly
denied
by
the
filmmaker.
Historians
are
divided
on
whether
Padmavati
actually
existed.
Juhi
said
people
should
react
to
things
with
sensitivity
and
not
flare
up
in
anger.
"At
the
end
of
the
day,
films
are
made
by
directors,
by
the
team
(and)
you're
playing
a
part.
Just
for
that
reason,
I'd
say
a
little
sensitivity
is
(needed)
and
people
should
have
patience.
Not
flare
up
and
say
things
like
that,
that
too
to
a
woman."
Juhi
said
she
recently
met
Rajmata
of
Jaipur
who
said
what
one
shows
in
films
can
be
there
for
generations
to
learn
from
and
hence
one
should
be
careful.
"I
was
attending
a
wedding
in
Jaipur
where
I
met
Rajmata
ji.
She
was
talking
about
films,
she
said
something
which
struck
me.
How
many
of
us
really
read
books
or
are
keen
to
learn
history,
but
everyone
watches
films.
Whatever
you
show
on
screen
stays
in
the
memory
of
people,
this
is
what
she
said.
"It
wasn't
related
to
'Padmavati'
but
a
general
remark
on
impact
of
films," she
said.
The
Deepika-Shahid
Kapoor-Ranveer
Singh
starrer
was
earlier
scheduled
to
release
on
December
1.
The
makers
deferred
the
release
till
they
receive
a
certificate
from
the
CBFC.
They
recently
applied
for
3D
certification.
