Yes. But that Rangbhoomi was the starting point.

After Rangbhoomi, we see the Pandavas, getting embroiled in their own problems, getting involved with women, building their own kingdom, etc. We don't find them bothering or conspiring against Karna or Duryodhan of their own accord. But soon after the Rangbhoomi, we tsee he Lakshagriha plot happening. Maybe, this is y, I like the Pandavas more, despite knowing their flaws well.

I don't know, whether the stories have been altered or rewritten or not, but whatever is left of Mahabharat, in that, we don't find the Pandavas as grown-ups disturbing or conspiring against the Kauravas or Karna, unnecessarily or of their own accord. They seemed to have been too embroiled with their own problems and fiery women. 😆

You have written my thoughts exactly. It's not that the Pandavas did not have flaws. It's that they were patient with the Kauravas for a long time until even their limits were tested. It was Duryodhan who had unnecessary created enmity with them, spurred by Shakuni and Dhritarastra, and as Duryodhan's friend, Karna too was hated. It wasn't the rangbhoomi incident alone, but years of facing injustice by Duryodhan and seeing Karna as his biggest supporter.

For me the funniest parts were:

1)After all the drama/revelations and Kunti calling Karna her son repeatedly...Sahdev (or was it Nakul) asks her "Kya Angraj Karna aapke putra hai mata?" 👏👏

2) Radha calling Kunti a crocodile. (I literally died laughing)

3) Ek Maa ki Santane, Do Bhai Anjane

4) Radha Maa's OTT acting and fighting over Karna over his almost-dead body

By the way, I would like to say this, that somehow, I really like Vrushali as a character.

Her entry was irritating, but gradually her character matured a lot, as she became Karna's wife.

Honestly, I don't know how the real Vrushali was, and I guess no one knows. Whatever idea, people have of Vrushali is through various novels, which are only fiction.

However, I really like this Vrushali, as portrayed by Star Plus. I know, she's a Mukut hater 😆, but seriously, her characterisation is decent.

She is a support system for her husband. But when she does not approve of the wrong company, that her husband keeps, she stays away from that company with dignity, and continues to live a simple life. 👏
