Rajasthan minister Kiran Maheshwari joins chorus against 'Padmavati'

Jaipur: Rajasthan Higher and Technical Education Minister Kiran Maheshwari has joined the chorus of protests against Bollywood film 'Padmavati' asserting that she strongly opposes the film "made purely for making money and entertainment".

In a social media post, the minister said that Rani Padmini had performed 'Jauhar' with 16,000 women.

Deceit in any case with the history of immortal valour of such women cannot be accepted, she wrote.

The film, slated to be released on December 1, has faced a spate of protests.
