I loved this post of yours, my dear Ria, especially the parts I have now put in blue.

My pleasure aunty...

Yes, they could have used Nandini effectively as a hostage, and that would have worked far better against Nand than the marriage.

However, the same idea, in the 1990 Chanakya, which was a very intelligent show, was to neutralise not Dhananand, but all his supporters in and around Pataliputra, who would have been a perennial threat to Chandragupta's life. That was a valid reason.

But then that serial took a very different approach to the whole matter. In that Chanakya, the old fox stirs up a civil war inside Magadha, given that the king Dhananand is terminally incompetent and corrupt, and the praja is totally disaffected with the regime. One prince kills the yuvaraj, and Chanakya's man on the spot kills the killer.

Dhananand is persuaded to abdicate in favour of Chandragupta, whose army then strolls into Pataliputra. There is no battle for Pataliputra. Chanakya then literally forces Chandragupta to marry Dhananand's daughter, so as to merge the two families and neutralise the residual Nandites.

He adds, quite explicitly, that he wants the uttaradhikari for the Mauryan empire to be born of that union, whether Chandragupta liked it or not. And that Chanakya is far more autocratic and non-conciliatory than this one.

End of story.

Aunty... I have seen that show already... thanks to my mother who always inspired me to watch interesting stuffs in TV which gives food to brain's grey cell... well that show was something else!!... when compared to the crisp presentation. intelligent scripts and dialogues and mostly about accuracy, this dramatized version looked totally blur to me.. as you said, the cause given for Chandragupta and Dhanand's daughter marriage and mostly the whole presentation of the situation looked much more valid and planned throughout, as expected from great strategist like chanakya... It doesn't look abrupt.. and also it doesn't make the chanakya character almost a dumb who is eager to marry the King with a girl despite of knowing that the bride is ready with the plan of '100 ways to kill CGM'...

When I saw the precap of Chanakya's marriage proposal in previous eps I was rooting for a different thing... I thought they are going to set up the whole marriage as a drama just to fetch out Nand from his rat hole... It would have been obvious that Nand wouldn't stay quite after listening the news of her daughter dearest marriage with his sworn enemy and in feat of rage he might have come to the marriage ceremony to kill CGM and escort her daugher dearest, and CGM and Chanakya would be ready with his force to trap the whole nanda's in a single chance... I thought they are going to set the whole marriage fiasco as a trap to catch Nand clans fetching them all together under same roof... But CVs totally dropped thanda pani on my instigation where Chanakya proposed for marriage in real...

Okay, another trial of writing the same in a shorter version. I have to be more careful this time.😎

I enjoyed yesterday's episode. It was hilarious and full on entertaining. 😎 high-voltage drama along with a chilly and healthy washing scene, entry of super-saas and giving me a good scope to laugh! 😆 😆

My observations:

1. Nandini has a skin of Rhino even tougher than her daddy dearest and Malay the deewana. 😆 Even Durdhara's palm, which is supposed to be harsh enough by regular exercise of bartan ghissing in her father's house (Yes, she was a rich girl, but going by her father's misery I don't think he had ever bothered to appoint a maid for household works.😆), is softer than Nandini's face.

Another thing may happen, Nandini was wearing such a heavy make-up in her face that the so-called dangerous 'Vish' could not touch her epidermis very soon by crossing the layers of make-up, and hence the process got delayed. 😆

2. A round of applaud to the two smart moms and the smartest daughter of the world 👏 for coming up with such a marvelous idea of assassinate the king after conspiring the whole day. 😆 Nandini must have thought that Chandra is going to have a heart-attack or suicide after seeing his fair and handsome skin getting burn-scars.🤪 Else I found no way of his death with the dangerous venom. 😕 A very painful and fatal inflammation maybe happen if the poison is that strong, but Nandini should understand that the superhuman Chandragupta, who has already shown her some of batman and superman stunts, is not going to die so easily with this.

I think she had lend or stolen the poison from the stock of Nigar Apa in JA, who applied the same element in Akbar's turban one time, and poor Todarmal first burnt his hand and then was stood in front of cannon as an aftermath of that. 😆 The effect of poison has got more diluted along with time. 😆

(Seriously, the cvs should brush up their gray matters and think something better. The first attempt of murder is such a flop and this girl is expecting to avenge her father's death with her peanut shaped brain?😲🥱)

3. The new king of Magadh has taken a part-time job, and that is to bath his would-be wife who throws tantrums before bathing in winter days. 🤣 Really it was looking that only. 🤣 🤣

But the dhulai was bang-on!😎😆

And this Nandini was really!🤪 Raja hokar dusht harkaat! OMG!!! Ms Nandini Nand, are you serious that you are going to marry this man to get closer to him so that you can get enough chance to kill him? You are an assassin my dear, you cannot bother with your dupatta, his touching in your body, his lips coming closer to your nose blah blah blah! Be focused on your mission and stop this touch-me-not!🥱

O sorry I forgot that the first law of a TV drama is the heroine can never be bold and has to have touch-me-not issues otherwise it will affect her SATI-SAVITRI image later!!I expected nandini to be an exception which I should not have. 😔

4. Of course the star of the episode is Chandra's super saas...⭐️⭐️⭐️ I was literally dancing when I understood who changed the bowls. WoooHooo🥳 I was so happy to imagine Nandini's haalat! 🤣 I was like- besh hoeche! Tit for tat!!

I hereby enlist her name on the list of the very few sensible persons of the show (What's her name, btw?😆), and request the cvs to at least change her wig. 😆 The most sensible man of the show was Chanakya, but he has lost all his points for the callousness of leaving Nand's corpse that way; Helena is slowly going to be Ruqaiya no. 2 and she has already started showing symptoms. So Helena's Mom wins the competition. 😆

5. Chandra's halat is going to be worsen than Rishav of Bramharakkhas it seems. So, with the hope of his regaining the glory, right from today's episode and with prayers for Nandini to get a least of wit to handle situations, I am going to watch tonight's episode of playing holi with turmeric.😆

May Cvs bless Nandini with a little viciousness and cold mind of a conspirator, and Shweta gives her a smart look of cold dagger to complement with Chandra, otherwise this is going to remain as a comedy only!🤔
