I think today epi was the best, so finally got to see Pandavas son even though I did not hear them names properly.

I can understand Krishna's melancholy how could he ell a mother that all her sons are going to die.

And Surya I completely agee with you Sudheshna is Kaikeya punar avatar.

I'm actually glad they are showing this track

I know this is major distortion bc Draupadi was supposed to be war-happy, and Yudi should have been the one waving the olive branch, but think about it...

Even in today's age, after knowing all the facts of the story, people still point fingers at Draupadi and accuse her of having been promiscuous and having loved Arjun more than others and therefore not being 'patnivrata' like naari should be... 😆

I'm sure there are people who think that 'Bc of her Mahabharata happened' and 'she is cause of all trouble' and 'she purposely sent her sons to die just to avenge her honour'...and even StarBharat has used Draupadi's insult as a tagline for why war happened..

People forget that the war was not just some property dispute between two cousins or Draupadi's personal vendetta..it was about dharma vs adharma...and Draupadi was not some bloodthirsty queen who purposely sent her kids to die..I mean after 'bad wife' people will put stain on her motherhood also...

Draupadi Krishna scene and the peace negotiations are very important in the context that they will show that 'conciliation' and 'non violence' are not always best strategies..sometimes war is needed too, inspite of the social cost involved. Even Arjun will have same dillemna on battlefield and Krishna will explain to him why he has to do this...so even if the scene is made up, I'm fine with it, bc at least larger picture will be explained...

BTW you guys are right...only Draupadi seemed excited for her sons..men were all gossiping away..I guess like we are clueless, even Pandavas forgot about Uppandavas birth 😆

Aren't Abhimayu and Virshketu same age in this show? And, Vrushali is of Suta caste, so like Vidur, even Vrishketu couldnt lay claim to throne.

Yes even in the real story vrishketu could lay claim as he was son of elder son so I think accepted him as a child but not as legal heir of the dynasty . In fact his claim is quiet strong as all other sons died. The throne does not go to third generation till someone from second generation is alive so unless and until he was not given the status of a legal heir he could claim it

This Sudeshna lady is a typical vampy. I hate the looks she keeps giving Draupadi. And her stupid smile 😡

Pooja scenes were the best in the whole episode 😃

I felt they could have made the first intro scene of the Upapandavas in a better way.

Incidentally, can someone please tell me what each of the Upapandavas were specially skilled in ??

The upapandavas entry was too melodramatic for my taste.

Firstly there was no need to copy k3g

Also, the sons being exact replicas of dads was also not very believable. I mean, couldn't they atleast have different weapons from their dads?

The introduction was okay, but everyone mentioning their dad's name was a bit funny😃.

It was quite clear who was who's son by seeing their individual reactions.

Loved pooja sharma's expressions👏👏

And the hug😳

the rest of the episode:

sudeshna😡😡

the foretelling thing, i could not digest. I mean , krishna is god, atleast he could have not given everything away through his reactions. Leaving that aside, the scene and the chemistry between the actors was great.😊

@bold could not have agreed more with you said.

Yes people forget that this war was about installing Dharma again. She cannot be considered to be reason for war.

It was a sin that Kauravas did to Draupadi and any husband will tske revenge for their wife insult.

I hate to judge, but they couldn't find cuter Upas??👎🏼...and if I find the moron who designed their headgear😡 😡

----

Liked the hug, but would have LOVED IT even more if the Papas had dived in😉😆

----

And Ramayan theme continues today with Lakshmana's verbal entry🤔 Me thinks Dury is the Mayavi of this story:

1. Most of his 97 of his bros are invisible - only dushy & bkarn exist for sure

2. His wife is invisible

3. His son is equally indiscernible by human eye

I read somewhere that after somewhat 30 generations the throne was handed to the right person.

Yayati had two sons, Yadu and Puru, Yayati gave the throne to Puru rather than the deserving Yadu. Later on, Puru founded the Puruvansh and Yadu founded the Yaduvansh.

Arjuna was the son of Pandu and Kunti, but remember, he wasn't Pandu's biological son, one can say he was adopted, Kunti was from Yaduvansh and hence Arjuna was too Yaduvanshi.

Arjuna married Subhadra, who obviously was of Yaduvansh and their son was Abhimanyu, and Abhimanyu's son was Parikshit, who was Yaduvanshi.

P.S - These are not the exact things. It is from some article or post I read some time ago. Anyone can correct this since it's not 100% accurate
