Her story has been most recently bought to modern audiences by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, in his 2018 film ‘Padmaavat,’ which still remains one of the most expensive Indian films ever made.

WHAT WE ACTUALLY KNOW Ratnasimha, who ruled from 1302-1303, was a ruler of the Medapata (Mewar) kingdom in present-day Rajasthan, India. He hailed from the Rawal branch of the Guhila dynasty, which ruled from the Chitrakuta fort (modern day Chittorgarh). He was the last ruler of this branch of the dynasty, and was defeated by Alauddin Khilji in 1303. Khilji was keen on expanding his power in India, and Chittor was a valuable asset. Ratnasimha's existence was confirmed by the 1302 Dariba temple inscription. According to this, a gift of 16 drammas (coins) were given to the temple, during his reign. Some coins issued by him have also been discovered. LEGEND HAS IT Several legends refer to him as Ratan Singh. However, in Malik Muhammad Jayasi's poem Padmavat, he is called Ratan Sen.

He used to practice sorcery, which was illegal. However, one day he was caught doing it, and Ratan Singh banished him. Enraged at the humiliation, Chetan hatched a conspiracy. He went to Khilji's court and sang songs in praise of Rani Padmini's beauty. This heightened ...
