Lashy Di, you won't believe how excited this post of yours got me! Because while reading it, it was almost like I'm reading my own words. Couldn't agree more with you!
You're spot on about BB 1 = war and BB 2 = emotions ... Was wanting to say this myself but socha not to generalise them. 😆
And you know what, me and my mom were just discussing how Amarendra Baahubali was overall a much better character in comparison to his son though played by the same actor. AB is my fav too out of the entire BB brigade! ⭐️
And thank god you found Devasena rude at times. I thought I was the only one who felt so. 😆 Exactly, as you said, that was the norm back then and anyway Shivagami's letter didn't contain anything offensive... only her representative was a bit showy type and that too coz he probably wanted to make sure they agree. Her reply, IMO, was a bit OTT. Same way in that "itni bhi buddhi nahi hai" she said in the court - this too is too much for anyone, let alone a princess.
AB literally stole the show for me. Loved every scene, every dialogue of his. ⭐️
