For not taking care of his beautiful hair🤣
There were indeed two Barsines.One was his lover and the other was Darius' daughter and his 2nd wife aka Stateira II.
Here I guess they opted to call her by her birth name Barsine coz had they named her Stateira then it would have caused confusion between mother and daughter.
Jokes apart I want Roxana for sure.But they could have also added an interesting angle by showing Alexander as a mentor/friend/confidant to Barsine.It's not impossible to love more than one person in a lifetime.
I had started warming up to Barsine's character way back in PR when Darius insulted her.At that time I wanted her to receive love and acknowledgement from someone.Most probably Alexander coz he was her future husband.I wanted to see him taking care of her and her being impressed by his kindness and chivalry.Then they could have shown Alex and Barsine parting ways when he leaves for his conquests and she goes to Susa.
Later Alex could have fallen for Roxana the love of his life.
Barsine was no Roxana.But she surely must have meant something to Alexander.
Also showing her interacting with Puru before meeting Alexander albeit a major distortion could have acted as a pretty good subplot.
Barsine is neither Laachi,Puru's soulmate and nor is she Roxana,Alexander's soulmate.And that could have been the character's speciality.She was a person who was caught in the circumstances.
She could have been a person who interacted with both the central characters at different points and she could have provided an insight to both Puru and Alex's characters through her neutral perspective.She could have acted as a subtle link between Alexander and Porus(This is purely my version of how Porus should have been and in this version Puru and Alex would have met only during the Battle of Hydaspes)
This would have added a totally different dimension to her character.
All this show needed was a new writer who shows some quality content instead of Sunny Deol's movies rehash🥱
