Ashvi's relationship should be dependent on mutual respect towards each other and I really want to see the maturity in their relationship.,.. not the eternal romance like thing in ashwaki which i totally disliked... I want ashvi to be each others support system in true sense despite of every odds... and with the time if they develop subtle feelings for each other then it would be a treat to watch... actually it was the true sense of Ashvi love story... even in real history... Ashvi were like that.. their mutual respect leads them to their love... I don't mind if meanwhile ashoka kept his feeling for kaurvaki buring deep inside his heart.. my only point is that AshVi shouldn't be ignored and sidelined to glorify ashoka-kaurvaki...

But the big question is... CAN WE EXPECT SUCH EXCELLENT STORY LINE FROM CVS? will they be able to handle such subtle feeling development between Ashvi getting over their so called Ashwaki obsession?!...

You are right that's too much to expect from the CVs. That kind of relationship of Ashvi will be the best thing about them.

it will be so much to ask from DVs i guess... at least they had a bit mercy on us that they did show Devi as Ashoka's first wife.. otherwise if possible.. they would show KVK was one and only queen of ashoka..

They did this just to show some drama. That hatred for each other and fighting against each other. This is all about Ashwaki. When I said we won't be spared, this is exactly for this reason.

The love story of Samrat Ashoka and Devi is widely mentioned in the Ceylonese chronicles. She is said to be the daughter of a merchant who actually belonged to the Sakya clan - the same as that of Gautam Buddha.

Ashoka met Devi during his first visit in Ujjain and it was love at first sight for him. Though Ashoka was high impressed by Devi, the merchant's daughter, she didn't like him as he was famous for his arrogance. When Ashoka asked Devi's hand in marriage, her father readily agreed but she declined the offer and made a strange demand. Devi insisted that she would marry Ashoka if and only he would resolve the issue of rebellions in Ujjain without any bloodshed.

Hearing this Ashoka left the place. When he didn't return after two days, Devi thought the prince tricked them. However, when she was attending to the sick and hurt people she came across a wounded Ashoka. She took great care of him until he recovered. Post the recovery, Ashoka proposed Devi as he could resolve the Ujjain issue without bloodshed. Devi was happy and they married. Ashoka was 18 then. So, Devi was indeed Samrat Ashoka's first love and it was an unconditional love.

Now let us discuss the story of Ashoka Samrat with Kaurwaki.

Samrat Ashoka and Queen Kaurwaki

The name of Queen Kaurwaki is found on the Asokan edicts. Based on this, it is widely believed that the position of Queen Kaurwaki must be high as she is the only queen whose name has been immortalized in the edicts. The importance of Kaurwaki has been concluded from these edicts only.

While, historian M.N. Das states that Kaurwaki was the daughter of a fisherman whom Samrat Ashoka married, there is no instances that prove that there was a proper love story between them. It is only in the film, TV serial and popular culture that we see a die-hard love story between them.

So going by the historical data, it appears that, though both Devi and Kaurwaki was Emperor Ashoka's wife, his first love was Devi with whom he had a love angle before their marriage. He did marry Kaurwaki but all those stories of their love before marriage is considered as highly fictional.
