Whenevr i take the wagon on 80 Km and apply the brakes, both steering and the brake pedal pulsates. What could be the reason for that. Do i have to change the brake pads or what?

Thanking in advance

Sounds like all the rotors are warped.
The fronts warped makes the steering wheel shake.
The rears makes the brake pedal pulsate.

I wanted to say thanks to Mr.Alan for helping me out. Since the new Rotors were very expensive so i have buffed out all the four of them and have replaced the Break pads by the new one. Well for the initial 50 Km the brake peddale was pulsating but now have stopeed. I can now feel the touch of my turbo wagon.
Thanking you once again for the help you are extending to the world around you....

That means your brake rotors are out of round. You can have them machined or I usually just buy new ones. I'd replace your pads at the same time. Most of the time it is the front ones
