Twist in Rani Padmini
Chittod Ki Rani Padmini Ka Johar, a serial set in medieval times that airs on Sony TV, will soon have the main villain, Aladdin Khilji (played by Mukesh Rishi), attack the village.
Tejaswini Lonari, who plays Rani Padmini, tells us about this: “Aladdin Khilji will attack Chittod not just to acquire Raja Ratan Singh’s (Rohit Bakshi) kingdom, but also his beautiful wife, Rani Padmini, as he wants to marry her by any means. Viewers will see Rani Padmini intelligently deal with this situation. But I had to cry a lot, which is very difficult for me.”
The actress also says, “It’s an important twist in the lives of Rani Padmini and her husband Ratan Singh. From on this point on, her valour comes to the fore and everyone comes to know her history. I’m hoping audiences love this track.”
The history of the story is like this:
Rani Padmini is the queen of Ratan Singh of Chittod. She is known for her bravery, sacrifice and her love for her husband and the province. Aladdin Khilji, the ruler of Delhi, comes to know of her beauty and wants her. He plays dirty games by becoming friends with Ratan Singh.
About the show:
- Chittod Ki Rani Padmini Ka Johur (English: The Johur of the Queen Padmini of Chittod) is an Indian historical drama television series that aired on Sony Entertainment Television, based on the life of Rani Padmini, the famous 14th-century queen of Chittod, Mewar, Rajasthan. The drama premiered on 25 May 2009 with Sony TV's "new look" along with many other shows and ended on 13 August 2009.
- The series is produced by National Award (India) winning director, Nitin Chandrakant Desai, who spent millions of rupees to create the "right look" for the drama.[1] ₹60 million was spent over creating the sets and ₹25 million for costumes and jewellery.
Story, Plot:
 - The initial parts of the drama takes place sometime before 1302 AD. Princess Padmavati is the daughter of the King Ratnasen of Singhaldweep. She falls in love with Rana Ratan Singh, the heir to the throne of Chittod, Rajputana who comes to Singhaldweep after seeing a painting of her in his palace made by Chittod's painter / musician Raghav Chetan. He wins the princess's marriage contest, defeating warrior Padam Singh (which is actually Padmavati in disguise) in a sword fight and asking her to marry him, without the permission of his own parents. After much debate, Padmavati and Ratan Singh are wed together with the blessings of Padmavati's parents and all of Singhaldweep. Padmavati is permanently renamed "Padmini" by her husband, Ratan Singh, who then leave for Chittod along with a royal procession.
- In Chittod, Princess Naagmati, Ratan Singh's first wife and his child, Yashovardhan's mother, opposes this second marriage and Padmini's entry in the royal palace. She appeals to the Queen of Chittod, her mother-in-law and former rival, to protest against her husband's adultery persuading her to forget their own quarrels and join hands together to "destroy" Padmini. On his wedding night, Naagmati forever forbids her husband to go to Padmini's palace after dusk and thereby stopping him from having *** with Padmini, in exchange for letting him see his son. Under pretenses of "Chittod's long-lasting palace traditions," Naagmati organizes various contests against Padmini, only to lose each time.
- Parallel to this story is the tale of North India's then ruler Sultan Ala-ud-din Khalji, usurper of his uncle's throne through deceit and ******, who is now intent on conquering Rajputana and its kingdoms (including Chittod).
