Wow, it's great that the show is finally entering the Mahabharat phase. Now the fact that there is no Rukmini will not bother viewers, as she has no role in the Mahabharat. I loved Gufi Paintal as Shakuni Mama, it's really great that he's returning!

He was great then, but don't like the idea of him playing the same role a second time. A different actor from one of those serials might have been better.
