B.R. Chopra's Mahabharat cooked up a dialogue for Draupadi:-
"Andhe ka putra andha"
N a whole generation of people, who are too lazy to read the real epic, believed this dialogue like "andhas" n some of them actually believed that Draupadi deserved to be disrobed, firstly due to the "Sutaputra" comment n then the "Blind son" comment.
N now, this Star Plus serial, is cooking up another dialogue for Draupadi:-
"Shashtra le lijiye inse"
N again, a whole new generation (who don't bother to read the real epic) will once again believe this fiercely, that Draupadi compared Karna to demons( as shown in the serial during her Swamvar) n took away weapons from Duryodhan, n hence got disrobed.
As if taking away weapons, is the same as taking away clothes from a menstruating woman in public.
This is what distortions do to viewers.
