This Karna? The one who chases Kunti/Pandu and fires arrows to greet him? 😆 And who addresses his mom as Radha-ma? You're sure? 😆

Besides, the siggie I asked for would have to have both Pandu/Kunti as well as Karna in it.

For Karna siggies, if it's him w/ Duryodhan or Dushashan, it belongs in the Kaurava AT. If it has Kunti or Pandu in it, it belongs here, since Karna is an intersection character, like Shalya, Vidura & Yuyutsu.

😆😆
Karna, is going to be on Kaurava's side so let him be there since his childhood days 😆😆
This AT has already given Karna to Kaurava's AT, take good care of him. 🤣

I really liked the look of Madri today - they did select a good actress to play her. OTOH, I'm not impressed by Shafaq Naz at all - they should have switched her w/ Riya Deepsi and had the latter play Kunti, and Shafaq play Gandhari.

However, the characterization of Madri as snobbish - didn't like that a bit. B/w the 2, it was Kunti, not Madri, who was jealous of the other. When Madri got twins, Kunti refused to help her get more again, lest Madri end up w/ more sons than Kunti.

Tomorrow, Pandu kills Rishi Kindama accidentally & gets cursed. The beginning of the end of what might have been a great reign 😭

Once, the sage Durvasa visited king Kuntibhoj. Familiar with his wrathful temper, Kunti was personally asked to attend to him. Kunti pleased Durvasa with her devoted service, and he taught her a Mantra, on repeating which she could summon any god she liked and bear his child. The Mantra could only be used five times.

Kunti had used it once on Suryadev, got Karna. then to get Yudhisthir, Bheem, Arjun. After using it 4 times, she taught the mantra to Madri, she got Sahadev & Nakul as twins. After being used for 5 times, that mantra's power was over.

Yeah, given that Madri will have to ask Pandu to ask Kunti to teach her the mantra to get kids.

Any idea anybody who's the actress who plays Madri?

One more thing - it was Madri's brother Shalya who handed Madri over to Bheeshma. Not Madri's father. So Pandu is not the son in law of the ruler of Madra.

Which makes this track about Pandu going to help Madra somewhat unlikely. This same Shalya, in the Mahabharata war, led an akshauni so huge & formidable that Duryodhan thought it worth to trick him into joining his side, despite his Pandava loyalties. After Karna was killed, it was this Shalya who became senapati of the Kaurava army, ahead of Ashwatthama & Kripacharya. When Yudhisthir confronted him, Shalya was surrounded and disarmed in a manner similar to Abhimanyu b4 being killed by Yudhisthir.

Now, this Shalya needed Pandu's help in warding off a foreign threat? The Pandavas, particularly Arjun, were greater warriors than Pandu - the MB clearly describes how during the Rajasuya yagna, rulers that Pandu couldn't suppress were suppressed by either Bhima, Arjun, Nakul or Sahadev. So this would imply that Shalya was actually a more powerful warrior than Pandu, and so the idea that he'd need Pandu's help in a battle is unlikely.

Apologies for analyzing this logically, given that it's the closest to a saas-bahu drama that one can witness. 😆

Pandu was still son in law of Madra whether brother married of his sister or father married of his son .Husband of daughter always remains son in law of that household

And i am sorry i didn't understand what you are logically trying to refer here. I mean pandu's sons were better warriors than him but how does that mean that shalya was better than pandu.I mean if we take pandavas to be 100/100 as warriors and pandu as 60/100 ,shalya could be 50/100.I am sory i didn't understand this part

Also i dont think this is anywhere near the saas bahu sagas but to each his own

Also pandu wasn't an incompetent warrior he wasn't as good as his sons but he was still good

Kingdom, curse and life[edit]

Pandu was an excellent archer. He became the successor to his kingdom and was coronated Emperor of Hastinapur. Pandu later conquered the territories of Dasarnas, Kashi, Anga, Vanga, Kalinga, Magadha, etc and thus re-established their superiority over all the kings and increasing his empire.[1]Pandu married Madri, daughter of the King of Madra, and Kunti, daughter of King Kuntibhoja of Vrishni. While hunting in a forest, (looking from a long distance, his vision partially obscured by plants and trees) Pandu mistook Rishi Kindama and his wife for deer and shot arrows at them, killing the conjugal couple. The dying sage placed a curse on Pandu. Since he had killed them in the midst of lovemaking, the curse was that were he to approach a woman with the intent of making love, he would die. Upset and seeking to repent his action, Pandu renounced his kingdom and lived as an ascetic with his wives.[2]

I felt bad for Kunti in today's episode. I'm one of the few who likes the actress. She's doing a good job so far.

Kunti is generally not one of my favorite characters, but the way in which SP handled the whole baby Karna track has given me a new outlook on her character. It'll be interesting to see how they handle the character later on in the show.

Here's a little something I made on Kunti-Karna & Kunti-Pandu. I loved the scene of the first sig. The cinematography was lovely, the song was heartbreaking, and Shafaq Naaz's acting was perfect and very realistic.
