Very mature and scholarly analyses by Shruti.nil, SRUJAconscience and mnx12👏.

Now according to Puranas:

Jalandhar is born from the 'Krodaagni' of Shiva, which He Himself found difficult to control even in its initial infant stage and had to direct it to the ocean.( Mahadev might have allowed His destructive power to lie dormant in order to teach Indra a lesson at a later time. There is a saying that king punishes immediately, but God punishes slowly and steadily at a later date. This applies to the humbling of Indra.) But as this power grows up, this personification of destructive anger energy will only try to conquer and destroy its own maker, just like Bhasmasura, who tried to conquer his superior and benefactor Lord Shiva. It is his genetic nature and no amount of persuasion and guidance by Anybody, during his initial or later stage could have produced any benevolent disposition on his part. He was shown to be dormant till he conquered Indra, but once he became 'Trilokaadhipati', his ego started growing, and he decided to take on Shiva. Narad was only testing his 'pressure points' to see whether he was suitable enough to be 'Trilokadhipati' when he taunted him and Jalandhar promptly failed by giving in to ego and anger. He only proved that he was a smouldering destructive energy waiting to erupt. Even Nahusha, the most noble and humble king became egoistic when he was given the post and power of Indra. So it is no wonder that Jalandhar, the personification of anger, took to the wrong path. Even then Tridev have been indulgent with him, Narayan protecting him and also letting Vrinda's prayer to Him take effect as soon as she proclaimed her allegiance to Jalandhar. They would have let him rule the three worlds had he not decided to usurp Parvathi.

Now according to the show DKDM:

In this show, his role has been glamourised by making Mohit Raina act so convincingly that people love him. But wait, they have not even started showing the atrocities committed by him, especially towards Vrinda. We can analyse his 'character' shown as per the show only after they show all the events unfolding till his end. Had this character been played by any other actor, it would not have garnered so much attention and discussions and sympathy. Full marks to the makers and actors of this show for taking such artistic liberties in order to make the show interesting, but the makers also have to be aware that such incorrect portrayals could mislead their audience into believing evil as good, as we can see by the reactions here.

About Vishnu and Vrinda, I will write when I get time 😊. Hope nobody is offended by my post.😊

The other thing to Rofl abt is that How can you expect a person to be calm n composed when he took birth from Mahadev's anger, Mahadev is also know as Mahakaal and Mahadev's anger is something which can cause destruction so u expecting Jalandhar to be calm 🤣

Since we all know from the beginning, the exact Purana's story is not followed in this show. So the aim of this forum is always to know the Purana's story first awailable from various reliable sources & compare it with the version of what is shown by the makers. The channel itself puts a disclaimer saying this show is for entertainment purpose. In such circumstances taking this show's version of some character seriously to the extent of showing other's bad or their action faulty is not justified, as some of them are worshipped.

What may seem right now can be wrong later on, it's just one's pov, which is dominated by what we know, have read, have learnt from, which can be limited at times. Every action has a reaction. Results of Karmas can be seen now or later but they do materialise.

I agree with shruti. All these events are God's Leela. They are just playing their part in this Divine Game. Judging their action with a biased mind is not right. So let's concentrate on the +ve aspect of this show.
