Dear Shyamala aunty,

I must sheepishly admit that I have been an avid but silent reader of your posts, since Jodha Akbar days.
I have deep admiration for the comprehensive manner in which you analyse the episodes. They are exceptional, stimulating and also, my absolute favourite posts to read on India forums.

It is your below quote that has striked a cord with me, as it is something I often ponder about.

"As I watched the twin duels, a question occurred to me. Why do women have to prove their strength only in warlike pursuits, in effect becoming like a man? This is a tendency that prevails even today in offices and boardrooms - a woman trying to become one of the boys to be accepted."

I believe that women who subconsciously feel men are more capable, try to prove their strengths in areas that are wrongly stereotyped for men. That could possibly vary from warlike pursuits in the past to boardroom negotiations in the present. This puts these ladies in the position of having to go above and beyond the standards to which men are held in order to demonstrate their competence.

Perhaps as Nandini and Helena grew up in societies where equitable views weren't the norm, they found themselves mastering their combative skills - to prove that they are not secondary to their male counterparts. One can always argue that Royal Princesses were trained to protect themselves from the enemy, if need be.
Wonder which of the two possibilities was cooking in the heads of the Balaji creatives 😉

P.S. I hope my formatting hasn't caused a sore eye to anyone. I am still to get a hang of how this works.

No, my pet, nothing so dashing, I am afraid😉. As I wrote to Lashy above,I think Nandini will be the Third Wife, with Durdhara the first and Helen the second, and the history timeline be damned! Wo jiske peeche koyi aur nahin aayi!

Par uske paavan padchchinna Chandragupta ke jeevan mein padhein, uske pehle yeh do au istreeyan udhar vidhyamaan hongi. Aur in teenon ke saath phanskar, bechara, niyati ka maara Chandragupta kisi chauthe vivah ke vishay mein soch bhi nahin saka hoga!😆

O so u mean He'll remain "untouched" till his 3rd wife comes along??🤣...that would suffice for the majority of the TV audience, I'd think...😃
