1. Ashutosh Gowarikar's Jodhaa Akbar

Karni Sena had initially said that the film had undermined Rajput valour. In fact, the objection that they raised was about a factual ambiguity on whether Jodha was Akbar's wife or his daughter-in-law. But the real reason for their protest was the fact that the film showed the marriage between two communities! Many states did protest against the film and many theatres in Rajasthan did not play the film.

2. Veer

The Shri Rajput Karni Sena also opposed the Salman Khan film. According to them, the film had some dialogues that were "derogatory and demeaning for the Rajput community". They also said that the film maligned a brave community of the Rajputs. As a mark of their protest, they even vandalised a few cinema halls in Jaipur that showed the film. 

3. TV Show Jodhaa Akbar

Like Ashutosh Gowarikar's film, the serial starring Rajat Tokas and Paridhi Sharma in the lead role also came under Karni Sena's radar. They demanded a ban on the show and also threatened the makers with public protests and legal action but Zee aired the show anyway.

Additionally, the Karni Sena also staged a protest against Ekta Kapoor because she produced the show. They also attacked the Zee office in Jaipur and vandalised it. After Zee Media filed a complaint, the leader of the group, Lokendra Singh Kalvi, was arrested!

Would their protests against Padmavati also turn futile like the rest? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
