Interesting take TJ😊
I dont say that she was not at fault.. But every character in Mahabharat has done mistakes.. Probably Gandhari never thought her mistakes would make her loose all her children..Probably Gandhari never thought that she did any wrong too.. Her devotion to her husband.. would be more like accepting his husband's world of darkness...Silly it made sound...May be it was her way of taking revenge from deal she got in this marriage... or may be it was her disappointment with her fate...
As a mother.. for all misdeeds we usually tend to blame parents and upbringing.. isnt it.. Sadly she could have done better ..but the fact that she paid a heavy price for this negligence cant be denied at all... 😊
