Priyanka on Padmavati: Will always stand by Bhansali, Deepika

Priyanka, who featured in a song in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Goliyon Ki Raasleela: Ram-Leela and essayed a full-fledged role as Kashibai in his film Bajirao Mastani, said she would always stand by the filmmaker. She said she hopes the controversy surrounding Padmavati clears up soon.

The period drama, Padmavati, is yet to receive a certificate from the CBFC. Several Rajput outfits and political leaders have accused the director of "distorting historical facts" in the movie.

"I have an incredible relationship with Sanjay sir and I admire him tremendously. I know this film will come out and people will see the art behind it."

"They just need to make sure that everything is sorted. I will always stand not only by Sanjay sir but also Deepika, Ranveer and Shahid for the film," Priyanka told reporters.
