For many, Sanjay Leela Bhansaliโs drama ๐ต๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ก๐๐๐ is the celebration of the epic love between Peshwa Bajirao ( @RanveerOfficial) and his Mastani ( @deepikapadukone).

Instead, it is about Kashiโthe Maratha prime ministerโs first wife who watches with quiet dignity as the man she has given her whole life to makes another woman his whole life.

In elegant navvaris, flowers in her hair and tears brimming in her kohl-rimmed eyes, @priyankachopra makes a heartbreakingly beautiful Kashiโagain and again choosing not what she ๐ค๐๐๐ก๐ but what the man she loves ๐๐๐๐๐ .

When against all counsel, in rebellion of religion and elders alike, Bajirao brings home his Muslim wife, it is Kashi who welcomes herโstoic, but still true to her duties as the Peshwaโs wife.

When the women of the mahal congregate to celebrate the festival of Haldi Kumkum, it is Kashi who, gift in hand, walks to Mastani Mahal. For a moment she slips and goads the woman her husband loves more. But immediately, she recovers her poise and chooses to be an ally.

Naturally, as her heart breaks again and again, indecision flickers.
On the eve of a Ganesh puja, amid the glitz and clamour of an aarti, Kashi learns that Mastaniโs life is in danger. If Mastani dies, Kashi gets back her old life. Yet, she chooses what is ๐๐๐โ๐ก.

A love so deep and it still isnโt Bajirao-Kashibai? Why? Because, as Kashi observes, โPati patni ka rishta chahe kitna gehra bhi ho, log toh preyasi ko hi yaad rakhte hai."
And so, this post seeks to ask: Why is it that all the worldโs greatest loversโRadha-Krishna, Romeo-Juliet, Laila-Majnuโcome in pairs?
When it is possible, that sometimes the purest love comes from single hearts that beat to keep another in rhythm.

Hearts, that even after being shattered, broken, placed second, go on lovingโwith very little asked in return.
Hearts like that of Kashibai.
