Kapadia explained that the scene was rooted in real historical events and reflected the reality of those times.
Bhasker says criticism targeted jauhar depiction
Kapadia emphasized that Padmaavat aimed for historical accuracy, saying, "What we showed...was the reality of those times. It cannot be changed now."
