According to Padmavat, she was the wife of Ratan Sen (called Rawal Ratan Singh in later legends), the Rajput ruler of Mewar. In 1303, Alauddin Khilji, the Turko-Afghan ruler of the Delhi Sultanate, laid siege to the Chittor Fort in Rajputana.<br /> <br /> According to Padmavat, Khilji led the invasion motivated by his desire to capture Rani Padmavati. The men of the city stormed out in a final mortal sally to kill as many of the enemy before falling. Rani Padmavati is said to have committed jauhar (self-immolation) along with all the other women of the city to protect their honour and to avoid being captured by Khilji who finds an empty fortress, thus denied victory although Chittor "becomes Islam".<br /> <br /> <br /> <table><tr><th><center><h3>Cast</h3></center></th></tr> <tr><td><b>Deepika Padukone</b> as <i>Padmavati</i> – a 13th century legendary Rajput queen, who was, according to Padmavat, the wife of Rajput king Ratan Singh (also known as Ratan Sen), the ruler of Mewar.
