So, when will Draupadi actually START expressing anger over the misdeeds of the chandal chaukdi?

Yes, her ex-patis are at fault, but unko aur kitna sunna padega? She lectured them, and now divorces them, and as it is, she will keep reminding them of what happened to her during the exile...

Has she actually forgotten who dragged her into the sabha, and tried to strip her? Has she forgotten about Karna?

So much anger over her ex-patis (that she divorces them), but not even a fraction of that anger has been displayed against Dushasan and Karna so far...like seriously.

I mean, today, instead of divorcing her patis, I wish she had actually given Dushasan & Karna a piece of her mind - that would've made more sense.


To a certain extent, even I would be more upset at my own patis if I were in her place. Jab apna sikka hi khota ho tho kya kar sakte hain? If her husbands had stood up for her, no Dury/Dusshy/Karna would have dared to say anything or strip her in public. Also, we all tend to first get angry at people who are closest to us and whom we have most expectations from.

But if she "divorced" her husbands why will they fight for her? If she divorced her husbands why will they bother anymore??

As for Kannura, it is said she came to help him with his mission of cleansing the earth of its evil. It is said so did the devaputras. It is said it is all a leela.

@ Aswi, yes it is always Yudi who is reminded;

even when there is talk of peace, she says you want peace; who do you think will seek my revenge

and who can forget the happiness DPadi expresses when favoritest arya returns from Amravati?

I dunno guys I just cannot digest this "divorce proceedings" to pacify mahila mandals nationwide

Like why botherr????

And does the pran of no other woman will enter our Kingdom hold anymore???

If they are as big asses as they are being made out to be

Arya#2 can go to the forest and live with Hidimba and ghatotkacha; he is anyways their Bhupathi; he will get all he can eat buffet 24/7.

Favoritest arya has Ulupi who loves him like no other, chitrangda ke baare mein there are different specualtions so dunno about that; and he has deeply devoted Subhi and Abhi baby.

Arya#1 is happy renouncing the world anyways--peace to the world glory to men types jo hai!

But her patis are united and good men so they won't abandon her and go off; but aint nobody gonna see that...

instead they will be compared to wife beaters and alcoholics and whatever else to justify this "divorce"

I have skimmed, read and re-read TWO versions and I just cannot see where favoritest Arya was blasted??

I mean shout and scream, give wonderful episodes, like this episode ROCKED, it ROCKEDD! but the anger should be directed at Yudi ji Maharaj not at favoritest Arya? And SP did not even take into account that DPadi actually says "but my husband is so good and noble and so bad at dice; he was cheated"

they straightaway said "chal kiya" but forgot good and noble?

in fact even during vanvaas she chides Yudi about Bhim being totally straightforward that he will say what he thinks and what disturbs him; NakSah have each other but her favoritest arya sulks and cries and sits alone for hours.

She always chides Yudiji Maharaj. Even in yagyaseni; even in Arjuna!

I mean don't get me wrong, I LOVED the episode and I have till date always said that SP are doing a good job and need encouragement. And i am all for women's rights and fighting for my rights and yes I understand Nathvati Anathvat BUT...

But saying mera inse ko sambandh nahin?? That now a whooleee other story!!!

kamaal karte ho Pandeyji,,,,,😕😆


I agree Dr M- she blasted Yudi more than anyone else. Even in exile, all her barbs were directed at Yudi. But I guess SP is playing to the gallery- Arjun Draupadi are everyone's OTP😉

Question is- did she have conjugal relations with her patis in exile? As per Yajnaseni, she did but other versions don't write anything about it till Keechak episode when Draupadi seduced Bheem

5. The Kunti touch was new for me but I'm glad she gave the sabha, specially Dhrit her piece of mind.

I liked the Kunti part too,but it felt a bit odd for her character. I mean the StarKunti that we all know doesn't want to get involved with HP after the Lakshagrih and basically forces her sons into vanvaas. Upon returning, draupadi is insulted,but Kunti didn't have any dialogue... Heck she kept silent all those times Duryodhana insulted her (Kunti's) purity and the taunts about hidimbi. She even kept silent when Dhriti ordered her to stay in HP...

Lashing out at Dury and Dhriti just felt strange to me... But perhaps the VH just hit a bad nerve?

After watching today's epi...Draupadi approaching Bhim to avenge Keechak's insults will make NO sense whatsoever. I mean, she divorces them in front of the whole sabha, and then "conveniently" turns to them when she needs help??

There's no life without wife... 😆

I think they made it an episode where women were united and wanted justice against all the men. Kunti also got a face lift in that process😃

@Anjana, please write a letter on Kunti's behalf now😆

@ Bheegi but was favoritest arya even around for her to be with him?
He prayed to The Lord Neelkanth; then he went to Amravati. and remember, it is said that a day in Amravati is a year on earth
so chilling w Indra, getting divyastras, chilling w Chitrasena, learning singing and dancing from him, Urvashi's curse, destoying Nivatakavachas and Puloma's city of corcery, all these took MANY Amravati days so many years on eath. But when he returns, she does go gaga over him.
Also note that the translated MBs may be from a traditional time and may have deleted certain parts which were rated R.

As for patis, they had a choice--speak against swami and defy Jhest or stay silent and let pranpriye be tortured. they chose the latter

they knew it was a ploy and DPadi does compalin to Kanha when he comes to see ehr in the forest

She taunts them all the time but even THEN she does not "divorce" them.

Isse accha SP now send her to Panchal and let her stay there until the war.

In the whole VH track the episode in which Draupadi is dragged to the court is my most fav but today's episode has surpassed that

first part of Draupadi getting saved by krishna ji was excellently done .The music,expressions,direction was top notch.Felt truly like victory of good over evil.Every thing about that scene was beautiful even krishna ji was crying seeing this adharma

When i heard that kauravas will get vastraharaned instead it seemed very funny to me but the way it was done today was very impact full i am glad they didn't spare any one even pandavas,Bheeshm and Drona got vastraharaned becuase i have always felt that the entire sabha was at fault so everybody got what they deserved only Draupadi deserved to be saved and she was

When Draupadi turned into kali i was like hmmm it seemed little odd to me to be truthful just the way she started to speak at first felt a little odd.But then the powerful dialogues took over and i forgot everything else.I can listen to these dialogues for a long time

Then Draupadi divorced panadavs😭 poor guys they were heartbroken.But i think krisihna ji will convince her and then she will give them a last chance.Today she has decide never to tie her hair but after krishna ji convinces her she will decide to tie her hair when they get her dusashan's blood in other words she will again accept them as her husbands once they avenge her

Kunti was hmmm ok it just felt weird that Dhritrashtra got scared of kunti's threat but not about that fact that Draupadi got saved by divine intervention and all men got semi naked.That shoudl have been his hint not kunti's threat

And seems like this version will have no upapandavas😭

But in any case lovely episode

True, KMG omits passages which were too explicit or suggestive of all that was not in line with the Victorian sensibilities of the time the book was written. Have you or anybody here been able to access P.Lal's translation of the epic (It is said that his translation is quite faithful to one of the recensions, the northern recension I guess)? Will carry on this discussion over P.M/ or the perspectives thread.
