1. This is a soap opera..so they have to make it interesting ( even though it is an epic story, and religious story!) ( And I am not saying I agree to this but i'm just stating the reason why...)
2. More importantly, this was part of the story... Here's an excerpt:
---------------------------------------------------------------
When her husbands retired from the world and went on their journey towards the Himalayas and Indra's heaven, she accompanied them, and was the first to fall on the journey. When Bhim asked Yudhisthir, "This princess never did any sinful act. Then why is she fallen on Earth?" Yudhisthir replied, "Though we were all equal unto her, she had great partiality for Arjuna. She obtains the fruit of that conduct today."
-----------------------------------------------------------
It's that partiality that's being portrayed and like I said above, it's a tv soap opera so they have to make it more mirchi and entertaining to get ratings.
