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. 😆
