Deepika Padukone as Mastani gave us one of the most memorable characters with a spectacular performance in 'Baajirao Mastani'. Celebrating 5 years of this iconic performance, the actress shared a BTS unseen photo from the sets and changed her profile picture and name to Mastani on her social media.

Sharing the photo with her director Sanjay Leela Bhansali from the film, the superstar captioned the photo, "Whether in love or war, Mastani was fuelled by her passion, unafraid to write her own destiny, no matter how perilous the path. She never bowed down and always stood her ground with a fierce dignity and a love so strong that its burning embers seared through every societal constraint, to join both her and her lover's names, for all of eternity...
