Bajirao was a Peshwa to the fourth Maratha emperor, Chhatrapati Shahu Raje Bhonsle. As a general, he led his troops in over 41 battles and never lost a war. Through these battles, he expanded the Maratha empire into the north and strengthened its hold over its territories. He was raised a Brahmin (the priestly class), and so was expected to perform priestly duties when he grew up. But recognizing his abilities early, emperor Shahu Maharaj made him Peshwa after the death of his father. He was just 20 years old at the time. He then made this extraordinary opportunity count by expanding the Maratha empire with the help of some valiant fighting, smart strategy, and inspiring leadership. Mastani was the daughter of a Hindu king, Maharaja Chhatrasal Bundela, and a Muslim court dancer, Ruhaani Bai. She was trained in politics, martial arts, household work, and was known to be extremely beautiful. Like her mother, she became a dancer. Mastani's father, Maharaja Chhatrasal's kingdom was once under threat. To protect his family and kingdom, he called Bajirao for help, who then came and saved them. Feeling indebted for this enormous favor, Mastani's father gifted him his daughter. Bajirao fell in love with Mastani almost immediately, and in spite of being married to Kashibai, married her and took her in as his second wife.
