1. how did kunti become sister of step father of krishna who is just an ordinary man? kunti was shown as a princess of some kingdom...

First of all, Kunti is the sister of Krishna's real father, not step father. Krishna's real father was Vasudeva and Kunti- or Pritha- as she was called then, was Vasudeva's sister.

Kunti, however was given in adoption to Kuntibhoj, a king of a neighbouring kingdom. But biologically since she was Vasudeva's sister, she became Krishna's aunt as well

Hope it is clear to you

2.how did subhadra become the direct sister of krishna then?(sorry i donno abt that relation so confused)

Subhadra was born to Devaki and Vasudeva many years after Kamsa's killing. Devaki and Vasudeva, as you would be knowing are the birth parents of Krishna.

3.how is subhadra shown sooo early even befor draupadi's entry? y is the story of MB twisted like this?

Good Question. Unfortunately, for this question , I don't have an answer

Edit : Just saw that Nandini has answered as well.

About the other questions.. You already have the answers by other members.. About Subhadra.. Arjun meets her much after his marriage to Draupadi, when he was on an exile as a punishment for entering Draupadi's Kaksh when she was with Yudhistira.. Ofcourse the CVs have brought in Subhadra much early for reasons best known to them!

This is interesting ..I did not know Vidur was Rohinis(mother of Balram) brother in other words Vasudev and Vidhur were brothers in law..

Lord Krishnas father, Vasudeva, had sixteen wives, and one of them, named Paurav or Rohi, the mother of Baladeva, was the sister of Vidura. Vasudeva, therefore, was the husband of Vidura's sister, and thus they were brothers-in-law. Vasudeva's sister Kunt was the wife of Pu, Vidura's elder brother, and in that sense also, Vasudeva was brother-in-law to Vidura. Kunt was younger than Vasudeva, and it was the duty of the elder brother to treat younger sisters as daughters. Whenever anything was needed by Kunt, it was munificently delivered by Vasudeva, due to his great love for his younger sister. Vasudeva never dissatisfied his wives, and at the same time he supplied the objects desired by his sister. He had special attention for Kunt because she became a widow at an early age. While inquiring about Vasudeva's welfare, Vidura remembered all about him and the family relationship.

Shurasena's sister's son was Kuntibhoja, who was childless. Shurasena had promised to give his eldest daughter to Kuntibhoja. Thus Pridha was given to Kuntibhoja, and came to be known as Kunti, as per Mahabharata Adiparva Chapter 111.

Kunti had a sister by the name of Srutakirti who married king Dhamaghosha.They had a disfigured son SISUPALA who is again cousin to Lord Krishna who forgave him a 100 times and finally kills him with his sudharshan chakra.

Mythology suggests it is all made up. For us devotees it is very much real 😊

No, mythical would suggest fictional. Mythology - like in Roman or Greek or Norse mythology, as well as Hindu - implies that there is a good likelihood of it being a mix of factual & fictional. This is a standard term, so live w/ it.
