The last Peshwa, Baji Rao II, was defeated by the British East India Company in the Third Anglo-Maratha War in 1818.

The territory was annexed to the British East India Company's Bombay Presidency, and he was pensioned.

Balaji married Radhabai Barve (1685–1752) and had two sons and two daughters.

Rakhmabai died shortly after Sadashivrao's birth, which led to Chimajiappa's second marriage to Annapuurnabai.

[citation needed] Sadashivrao Bhau's first wife's name was Umabai.
