Actually, Set Raj posted the SB story of Pradhyumna here.

Pradhyumna wasn't raised by anyone's wife - he was raised by Mayavati, who was none other than Rati. After Kama had been incinerated by Rudra, Rati wanted to give up her life, but a divine voice assured her that she'd get back her husband. She somehow learned that she would find him in Shambara's kingdom, so she took a human form as one of Shambara's cooks, and when Pradhyumna was discovered in that fish, she took him and raised him, and found out from Narada later that he was actually her husband. There was never any marriage b/w them, since Pradhyumna was 'born married' 😆 But so far, Pradhyumna's divine origin as Kama has been totally ignored.

In the original story - forget this serial - Rati takes a human form and appears as Mayavati, and is the one who raises Pradhyumna. Later, when Pradhyumna grows up and she's found out about his identity from Narada, she tells him the whole story, including how she's his wife.

todays episode
In holi celebrations pradhyumna meets his real father. Krishna goes there in his father's apparel as bhanumati told pradhyamna. He is happy and starts play holi with others. Krishna with Rukmini and JV plays holi with dwarkawasis very happily. Rukmini gets ready to search and bring Pradhyumna as Krishna is not finding him. Krishna stops her and leaves himself to search him. Bhanumati gets worried abt what types of education does they give to pradhyumna as he is Krishna's son? Bhanasur tells her tht as they r poor, so he sent him to gurukul near their house. Today is gurukul's first day so pradhyumna has to go on time. Pradhyumna goes to gurukul. There, he watches tht three boys of rich landholder tease and quarrel with one poor boy for first seat. Tht boy helplessly obeys them. Pradhyumna gives his own seat to him and stands. Guruji tells him to sit. While going home pradhyumna sees tht 3 boys punishing tht poor boy. He tells them to forgive him and let him go. Tht boys tell pradhyumna not to mediate between them. Bt pradhyumna tells to poor boy to go. Boys start fighting with pradhyumna. Bt with power pradhyumna ably fights with them. Guruji watch this war and gets angry on him. He says tht pradhyumna is unfit for gurukul and expel him from gurukul.

I just watched both yesterday's & today's episodes out of curiosity. Just to fill in what happened yesterday...

I agree. I thought when Rukmini will be back she would be shown more.

yesterdays episode...

Todays episode..
In court, shambara asks pradhyumna, u r very good fighter. From where did u learn it? Pradhyumna very confidently answers tht after his parents' death he lives here. The skill of fighting r present at him from birth and when he sees wrong things he cant stop himself from fighting. Then shambara asks him will he teach his skills to mayasur, his son who is very timid and cant even take sword? Pradhyumna agrees. Krishna meets pradhyumna in his house as one trader in city. He praises abt pradhyumna's skills to bhanasur and says tht I can see signs of great warrior in pradhyumna. He has learnt all the skills of war from some great mentors in the world. So he wants to teach some vidya to pradhyumna. Can he teach? Bhanumati happily agrees and tells him to stay with them. Krishna first refuses bt finally agrees.

This episode was surreal - Pradhyumna doesn't have any technique or such but is just fighting instinctively, and he agrees to teach the son? I also thought that the CVs depicting his wife and son both as losers was lame, as usual. Also, Krishna, in his new guise, doesn't attempt to explain to the original guru that Pradhyumna did what he did to protect one of the kids, and that the guru himself was a failure for overlooking the loutish behavior of the other students?

In reality, Pradhyumna was raised and taught by Mayavati, who was Rati taking a human form to be w/ him. She taught him, trained him, revealed the secret of his birth. Not Krishna.
