Aunty missed my post 😭 😭 !
No like 😭 😭 😭 !
I am here on IF when I am not supposed to be making posts and replying to them; copying and pasting posts on other threads 😭 😭 😭 and Aunty just ignores me and my posts 😭 😭 !
I just feel like crying violently now!

Is Padmanand still alive? How is it possible? Did Chandra kill a look alike? According to history, Nand had nine or ten lookalikes in place working under him. A number of assassination attempts on Nand's life took place even before Chandra and Chanakya came upon the scene. He succeeds in surviving all those due to this reason. At least the incomplete CGM on NDTV Imagine spouted this theory.

Okay I will do prayaschit and atone for not coming first on Aunty's thread and fooling away elsewhere on the forum when I had very little time on my hands. Aunty I really find nothing to reason about either the Dharma Yudh kind strappings, the breaches in war code of conduct, or Nandini's irresponsible and irritating behavior. They are so because the CVs want them or deem them to be so. No reasoning or logic is going to explain anything. It has been decided so for us arbitrarily by the CVs. Regarding the Durdhara and Chandra scene, your explanation and Prem's seems sufficient to explain the situation.

So now to the most important thing on my agenda, my fun piece on the immaculate conception of the Lady Durdhara. Nothing serious so I wouldn't want anybody to take any offense.

Chanakya: Now I think it is better that you take forward your lineage with Rani Durdhara!

Chandra: I do not understand, Acharya!

Chanakya: Now you want me to explain that too like I do war strategy! It is highly impossible! You will have to manage on your own.

Chandra: Acharya, I mean how will Durdhara immaculately conceive without my touching her. You do know my aversion to certain things and feelings.

Chanakya: I get it! I am referring you to IVF (Invective Volleying Fusilade) Specialist Dr. Nandini Nand. She will find a way out of this impasse.

Chandra: Ji Guruji! I will seek her opinion on the same!

Chandra goes and meets Nandini and explains his problem. She babbles off, "Tum main purusharth nahin hai...blah! Blah! Blah!"

Chandra rushes off to Durdhara and she miraculously conceives under the expert advice of Dr. Nandini Nand. Bindusaar is born!

Now Helena requests her Guru Dakshina for teaching Greek war tactics and helping Chandra escape from the Greeks by making her pregnant as well. Chandra rushes off again to Nandini and she starts babbling off again, "Tum main purusharth nahin hai...and blah...blah...blah!

Miracle! Oh! Miracle!

Helena too conceives immaculately under IVF specialist Dr. Nandini Nand's expert advice!

Hi Aunty! Thought I should answer you here instead of at the old thread. I'm flattered you remember me- I've been away from here more than a year I think. And my real name is Saana!

Coming to the episodes, I think there are a lot of gems, mostly thanks to RT's acting, a lot of people are talking about the brutality of the executions and Chandra's actions and all I have to say is this: this is a man who grew up in an era very very different from ours, in circumstances we cannot hope to really understand. In a short period of time he has undergone multiple revelations that would shake anyone, and has used those revelations to put a personal edge to his anger.

I think in terms of anger, Chandra has two modes- a slow burn, who lends itself to a sadistic amusement- as evident by the glee RT exhibited as he was executing Nand and his sons, a slow grim grin that overtakes his features showing his pleasure in not only taking revenge, but grinding his enemies who have hurt him, his guru, and his family to the dust. And a fast burn mode, which he seems to be experiencing with Nandini- in which his anger is like s flash fire. Once the revenge is done no hatred is left in its wake. This is evident by his actions in todays episode in which he offers her water and cried for her, despite his insistence that this was not so to Dudhara.

I'm discomfited by the second, and hope he wont give in too quickly to Nandini. I'm not a fan of the character or the actress, especially her tenor and voice moderation, which do not lend themselves to royal dignity and a trial upon my ears at time. Her demeanor is understandable to a point, but when I compare it to Mura's or even the other royal ladies turned dasi's, her hysterical shrieking that Chandra should kill her falls short of the mark of her, admittedly sporadic character sketch. I am tempted to say the reason he woke is not that her peed reached him mentally, but her wailing reached him audibly!

Now on to my favorite- Helena! I loved her throughout the episodes. Her grim grin as Chandra called her name and tossed Malay to her, the softening and myriad of expressions and Malay spoke to her, the glance at Chandra and his skeptic expression before asking, as his wife, to fulfill her wish, and the subtle glee in her voice as she told Chandra to kill Malay. I loved them all. I also liked the interplay between her and Chandra in that moment.it was as if there was a vibration in the air. and their expressions read that that vibration reached only them, no one else.

You said is best- Helena is as she is. She grew up in Alexander's army, and the slogan- want take have and burn the rest, is very much evident in her. Also evident is the fissure that will cause her to try to destroy all who stand between her and Chandra.
As she tells Nandini in today's episode- what is hers is hers alone, and she will not ask, only take or snatch. She does not love Chandra as she loved Malay, and I doubt she ever will. But as Chandra has connected to her, she has connected to Chandra. Marry him for revenge she did, but this is also the Helena who asserted to Dudhara that her right to Chandra was paramount. I wonder that she does know of the fact that he spends the nights with her Sautan! The subtle interplay as Chandra introduced her, than Dudhara, the fact that she also knelt and touched Mura's feet... here is a woman who intends to rule the roost and knows the lay of the land as well!

I'm looking forward to her reaction to Chandra marrying Nandini, as well as her changing equation with Chankya as she realizes that he is the reason Nandini will become her Sautan instead of her dais, as well as the fact that Chandra is spending the nights with Dudhara.

P.S: I thought it was interesting that his mind went to Helena first for his heir. Perhaps I read too much into it, but what to do? We all have out crosses to bear!

Then, my dear Anjali, one is left with two very odd circumstances.,

1) That Chanakya did not even check if Nand was really dead, and instead stopped Chandra from delivering the last blow assuming that he was.

2)That Chanakya did not have Nand's body taken away and cremated, which should have been the standard procedure.

If the above are both true, especially No. 2, then it torpedoes Chanakya's reputation as a master strategist and peerless tactician.

Also, this theory fails to explain why Nand would not fight Chandra at all on the third day, not even in the last ditch outside the hut.

And then what is the secret that Sunanda is hiding? I thought it was about a twin brother.

sandhya those days twins were programmed about each and every detail of the king and they were taught his demeanor so that when the time comes they will behave like him and I turned the king is safe.
So it can be presumed that the twin did a good job. Or a look alike

Aunty,
I will be back with my comments for your main post.,because telling you again that I loved it would not be a justice to your efforts and pains you take while writing them.
But while replying to your quick take on last night's episode..
Aunty I am sure that here they're trying to prove that chandra had a humane streak running in his blood
In earlier instances
He stops attacking and finishing nand after the battle time was over.. Means as a student he has learned shastras well.
Stree par prahaar varjit was o beyed in crude sense.
And chandra was the only one who objected attacking selucus camps at night.
He was shown sparing nands son last episode was also the way he questioned acharya that I am in conflict that whether I should fulfill your oath or obey theshashtras
Chanakya an excellent mentor he was freed his shishya towards righteousness.
So from this episode I think chandras symbolic journey towards the chakravarthin samraat starts...
Wailing of nandini was not the wailing of a scorned ill mannered Princess... For him
Chandra was listening to the still sad music of humanity.
He was soon able to reach towards conclusion by logic and wisdom.
That Nandini is bound to suffer still he offers her water because that is justified .
This marks that hate the crime not the criminal.
Though the actress I know was really below the mark and yeah her dialogues should have been better.
But shweta was tolerable in her OTT scenes with Helena.. So let's move on with hope.
P. S. Helenas mom is entering the cat fight arena...
So chandra sandwich is getting ready.. Your views plz
