Arjun leaves for sanyaas leaving behind a sad Draupadi & Pandavs.

Shakuni is happy that Arjun has left for sanyaas & they got time to stop Indraprastha's rajsuya yagya, he tells Duryodhan that their next plan will be to get Duryodhanand Subhadra get married & take Krishna on their side as Yadavs & Krishna are one of biggest powers in Aryavarta. In Indraprastha, Draupadi learns the skill of archery from Krishna. After a time leap we see Arjun has reached Somnath temple to complete his sanyaas, there he gets upset when he sees Shakuni & Duryodhan being pally with Krishna & Balraam. Shakuni is shocked to see Arjun there & is doubtful of Krishna's intentions in the Duryodhan- Subhadra marriage alliance. Krishna asks Shakuni to play pitthu with him.. Shakuni is confused..

In the act of playing pitthu game, Shakuni tells Krishna that he knows Arjun is in Somnath and if Krishna tries to put hindrance to any of his plans he will face pure enemity. Krishna ensures him that Arjun is not in Somnath & asks him to go and check. Krishna in pretext of calling a sanyaasi, asks Subhadra to bring Arjun to Dwarika so that when Shakuni visits somnath, Arjun is missing. Subhadra brings the sanyaasi to Krishna, where Krishna reveals Arjun's identity.

1988 or 2013. Mahabharat has always been popular. Writes Rishita Mukhopadhyay.

There is a saying that "What is not there in Mahabharat is nowhere else. The literal meaning of this is there is nothing in Bharta which is not there in Mahbharata. This saying has been proved to be correct once again by the current running TV Series Mahabharat. This TV Series, which began on the 16th September last year has touched the peak of its fame. Leaving the other serials way behind..it has become the No 1 Tv Series. Why? Lets have a look

BEHIND THE SCENES

Swastik Productions have spend almost 100 crores behind this project of Mahabharat. It is the most expensive and high budget project in the history of small screen. Almost 20 crores have been spend behind the marketing of this project.! Many famous names are related to the serial. Creative inputs and scripts are doen by Bollywood's leading script writer Salim Khan. Costume design is in the hands of Oscar winning costume designer Bhanu Athaiya. Siddharth Anand Kumar is the director along with G.S Chauda, Kamal Moga and Loknath Pandey. The series has been dubbed into Bengali,Tamil,Telugu,Marathi and Malayalam too

Rathis and Maharathis

Mahabharat means the fights between Kauravas and Pandavas. Arjuna's Gandiv, Draupadi's Vastraharan and so much more extravaganza! And thinking of the characters..we remember some familiar faces. Hear Bheeshma..and we remember Mukesh Khanna. Mukesh Khanna played the role of Bheeshma in 1988 in the Mahbharat by B.R Chopra. This was the most challenging part for Arav Chawdhury. He is the Bheeshma for this generation. Arav,who has acted in "Gulal' in small screen and in "Dhoom" in big screen bagged the role immediately on receiving the offer. He potrayed Bheeshma in his own unique way. Even though there is doubt whether he is successful.. THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT SHAHEER SHEIKH IN THE ROLE OF ARJUNA, THE 3RD OF THE PANDAVAS AND THE BRAVE WARRIOR (POTRAYEDTHE HERO OF MAHABHARAT). THIS NEW ARJUN IS QUITE POPULAR BETWEEN THE VIEWERS. SHAHEER CAME INTO LIMELIGHT THROUGH "Kya Mast Hai Life" IN 2009. FOR MAHABHARAT, SHAHEER TOOK LESSONS OF HORSE RIDING, SWORD FIGHTING AND ARCHERY. APART FROM BEING EXTREMELY EFFICIENT ON BOTH ACTING AND PRESENTING HIMSELF ON SCREEN, SHEIKH HAS ALSO IMPROVED HIS BODY CURVES. Speaking of Arjun, the next character we remember is Krishna. And NO OTHER ACTOR but Saurabh Raaj Jain could have suited the role of Vasudev Shri Krishna.. Saurabh started his career in 2004 with "Remix" and in the middle of his career he started being casted by producers in different mythological serials ad Vishnu and Krishna. In Jai Shri Krishna and Devon ka Dev Mahadev, he potrayed the role of Lord Vishnu effieciently. As a result, in this high budget Mahabharat, no one could be thought as Krishna expect Saurabh Raaj Jain aka SRJ.. Although he has been compared with Nitish Bharadwaj in several cases, he was successful in making a space in the viewers' mind!

Pooja "Draupadi" Sharma also knew the fact that she will surely face comparisons with Roopa Ganguly (1988 Mahabharat Draupadi). Sharma, who came from the modelling world did alot of homework for this role. Speaking about comparisons, Sharma considers being compared to Ganguly as her big achievement. Praneet Bhatt, or Shakuni did not take up any project for 2 years to be prepare himself for the role of Shakuni. He prepared himself slowly. His style of closing one eye and speaking and referring to Duryodhana as "Mere bache" is quite popular. Aham Sharma as Karna has faced too much criticism. Many say,compared to Pankaj Dheer(1988) he is quite unconvincing. Mahabharat was looking for a strong Duryodhan, who will have both physical and acting skills. Arpit Ranka was selected for the role. Some years ago, Ranka won the Best Body Award in Glam-Rags Competition. There is only one similarity between the old Mahabharat and the new one. In both the serials, the role of "Satyavati" was played by Bengali girls. Debasree Roy in the older on and Sayantani Ghosh in this one. Satyavati was a challenging character for Sayantani. Ghosh has done several workshops to improve her acting,body language and diction.

And making all these hardworks successful... the first episode of Mahabharat has got 80 Lakh viewers. No other show before had received so many viewers in one single episode.

We have seen her playing one of the most beautiful queens of the Kuru clan in Star Plus's Mahabharat'. But in reality, who knew that she could look prettier than her on-screen avatar.

We are talking about actress Riya Deepsi, who is working as Gandhari, in the epic saga being produced by Siddharth Kumar Tewary. Going by her Twitter pictures, we get a strong feeling that Riya is apparently a stylish girl-next-door who believes in living her life to the hilt. And above all, she comes across way more happier and content in her off-screen life than her screen self, Gandhari, the princess who was forced to lead an unhappy life with the blind King Dhritrashtra.
