Bhagyashree’s role as the mother of Shivaji Maharaj has received praise from audiences since the release of the historical drama. Interestingly, the actress also shares a royal connection with Maharashtra’s history in real life. She belongs to the Patwardhan royal family of Sangli, and her father, Vijay Singhrao Madhavrao Patwardhan, holds the titular title of the king of Sangli
Actress Bhagyashree addressed conversations surrounding her portrayal of Rajmata Jijabai, the mother of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, in the blockbuster Marathi film Raja Shivaji. The actress recently reacted to playing mother to Riteish Deshmukh, who is only around 10 years younger than her in real life.
Following the film’s strong box office performance, Bhagyashree spoke to Zoom about accepting the historical role and why age was never a concern for her while taking on the character of Jijabai.
Defending the casting choice, the actress said, “When you get to play a role that you have grown up hearing stories about, there is no question to say no. Besides, Jijau was a young mother. In fact, Santosh Sivan sir called me up to say, ‘Sorry, I had to make you look older with camera work, still look so youthful’. Now that is a compliment I will hold close to my heart. After all, he is the maestro cinematographer, Santosh Sivan.”
While Bhagyashree is 57 years old, Riteish is 47 currently.
