@simplysappie You have not added the next "distortion" so I will do it -

After coming to Hastinapura post-wedding, Draupadi being insulted in the Hastinapura rajyasabha by Duryodhana when Yudhishtira demands his yuvraj post back from Duryodhana.

Yudishtra did not demand his Yuvraj post.. Instead he was given his own Kingdom to rule.. which is Kandavaprastha a barren land.. we dont know what happened in Rajyasabha and if Draupadi had been there or not.. but am sure she was not insulted there anytime before the dice game..

Next.. Bhima had to marry Hidimbi as per rule of Rakshasas which says the one who kills their Bhupati Vrikodar will become the next Bhupati and will also marry the daughter or sister of the ex..

Hidimbi took the form of a beautiful woman, fell in love with Bhim. Bhima killed Hidimba. Bhima and Hidimbi got married. No such thing of bhupati and rakshas traditions, and all.

Actually, I found the whole Bhagwan Vrikodar thing to be rather hilarious. Even Yudi had to comment that Bhim should give them some prasad since he is their bhagwan and all!!😆

Next - The Draupadi-Pandava polyandrous union is "adharm" (but an "excusable adharm"), and, as per Krishna, an "exception" is made for Draupadi as she took the selfless decision to marry the five Pandava brothers on compassionate grounds.

I don't think Draupadi married Pandavas on compassionate grounds. And that scene where Krishna gifted her 5 blue colored stones which will help her arrive at a decision appeared to be fictional. And in this version poor Drupad was blamed for it saying he asked for sorrows for Draupadi from Gods and hence Drau is suffering.

I feel this is an entirely Star Bharat creation.

also the marriage with the pandavas was not adharma since Satyavati also had 2 husbands. And as explained by Starbharat, Daksh' s mother also had 10 husbands. So it appears in those days polyandry was allowed.

Bhishma decides to side with Duri and Dhrit because Dhrit makes him promise that he'll given kingdom to the Pandavas only when Bhishma swears never to support Duri and Dhrit in every situation. 😆

Bhisma did not make any such vachaans to Dhrit. He only promised not to marry or propagate and to protect his father's throne till a just ruler was installed on it.

Bhisma objected to Arjuna marrying Subhadra because her vaghadaan had taken place with Dury

Bhishma kahaan se aaya?!? I mean, the Subhi-Duri alliance had NEVER reached such a stage that all the folks from HP would land up in Dwarka for the wedding, and that bechara Duri would be left stranded at the alter.

Arjuna & Subhi had a love story going on. On Krishna's suggestion, "haran" ho gaya...plain and simple. Also, the Subhi-Duri alliance had never got to the stage that the bride would elope with another man on her wedding day itself. What Bollywood filmy nonsense.

Next - Drupad banishing Draupadi 🤢

Drupad never banished Draupadi. He wanted a son and got bonus.

Shikandini always remained a girl.

In Starbharat, so far, Shikhandini is STILL a girl. When will she become a man? Will she even become a man or not? Only CVs can answer this question.

This is 21st century MB - so CVs might think that a "woman turning into a man" would be the "wrong" social message for girls that they need to "become" boys in order to achieve their goals...🥱

In reality, Shikhandini was born as a girl, but underwent a sex change, and became a man (technically, a transgender) - Shikhandi, and became the cause of Bhishma's downfall in Kurukshetra.

Why was the sex change necessary? Maybe due to the kshatriya code of "not attacking a woman on the battlefield" or whatever - and Bhishma always regarded Shikhandi to be a woman.

Next - After Draupadi's swayamwar, Duryodhana doing emotional atyaachar on Dhritarashtra, forcing him to abdicate, and Duryodhana ALMOST became king of Hastinapura.

Duryodhana was always king of HP...NOT! Dury was only ever Yuvraaj. He never came close to becoming King by emotionally blackmailing King Krazy post his swayambar fair with Draupadi.

Draupadi knows swordfighting and how to fire arrows.

Draupadi wasn't a warrior princess! Had she been so, she wouldn't have needed Bhima to fulfil her vow..perhaps she'd have punished Duhshasan and the rest right at the spot.

Next: StarBhishma has a heated argument with StarKrishna. 😆
