First there is a common like of alex & puru both through out their lives were surrounded by strong women , alex had Olympias with him & puru had dasyu rani, laachi, anusuya with him, both of them simply luv & admire strong women in their lives, both will never fall 4 a grl who dont have any self respect or has a strong personality, laachi is strong grl more than luving her puru respect her , he luvs & respect anusuya also same way alex 2 luv & respect Olympias, i m sure in future he will luv roxxane with passion.
Barsine was spoil brat in starting but barsine, drypteis & stateira r women who dont had backbone not they want 2 develop it, barsine is always a dependant person be Darius or puru. 4 name sake barsine & company stayed in faras but truth her presence or absense will not help faras people, as she dont have power 2 stop alexander. 4 me barsine is a person with whose brain anyone can play be Darius ,puru or alexander

I dont think alexander want barsine 2 fall 4 him , coz till now alex is not involved in romantic part , he is not interested in barsine at all currently but as barsine humilated him infront of whole faras by stealing his sword which i also felt it was wrong, alexander had stopped feeling sorry 4 her, want 2 avenge his in sult, its natural also alex gave respect 2 barsine & company , barsine humilated him .

Barsine answered back alex that u can kill me coz she was prepared 4 it buy alex again shocked her by not killing her, but if u see alex still had controlled himself coz alex always maintain a distance with barsine & company.

It's inevitable that he is going to love her ...History distort itni bhi nahin ho sakti...She was his wife

@bold. Marriage need not have anything to do with love, especially among royalty in those days!

Alexander married both Barsine and Parysatis for political reasons. He wanted to be fully accepted by the Persian nobility and by the people as the new ruler of Persia, and what better way to ensure that than to marry the former ruler's daughter? This was the same reason for which, after the defeat of Dhananand, when Chandragupta Maurya became the king of Magadha, Chanakya made him marry Dhananand's daughter Dharini so as to win over the Nand loyalists.

Parysatis was the daughter of King Artaxerxes III, the cousin of Darius III, so by marrying her and Barsine, Alexander cemented his ties with both branches of the Persian Achaemenid empire. But though both marriages were basically for political reasons, it seems that Alexander grew to care for Barsine/Stateira II, for he had a teacher engaged to teach her Macedonian, and it seemed that he was preparing her to be his queen along with Roxana.

Deepika dearie,when I said in the other thread that Alexander wanted Barsine to fall for him I didn't mean that he himself was attracted to her.
Sometimes it's not about how you feel but more about how you want others to feel.
As @Alaria put it,Alexander was the equivalent of a rockstar in those days😆He was what we call a heartthrob these days.Heartthrobs are used to have people fawning over them even if they don't feel anything for the person concerned.

I am gonna borrow bits from @inlieu and @Shyamala Aunty's posts here.
As @inlieu said,ego has some role to play over here.Barsine and her family were his hostages cum guests and he treated them kindly.But he was snubbed and Barsine kept on chanting Puru,Puru and Puru.
Usko kaisa laga hoga??
Then as Shyamala Aunty said,more than winning her heart,Alexander wanted her to show him some respect and gratitude.I guess I got carried away by my romantic notions.😆

Its not about romantic feelings but respect.Even if he is not interested in Barsine,she needs to respect him.As her guardian,liege or whatever title it is.
And as they are gonna marry in future it will become a matter of his honour.Imagine the Emperor's wife giving lovey dovey eyes to the enemy.
Who would tolerate this except Ajay Devgn from HDDCS?😆😆


And Barsine bechari is naa idhar ki naa udhar ki😆Puru will always love Laachi and Alex will always love Roxanne.
Only Hasti loved Barsine genuinely😭

I agree completely with you wrt @bold, my dear Deepika.

Do look at my detailed post about this very point in the thread The real reason of Alexander's anger towards Porus, page 2. It will interest you.

Now I am waiting to see what precisely Alexander does when he gets to Bessus' palace. Historically speaking, he killed Bessus to punish him for having killed Darius, who was really Alexander's target. Moreover, historically, Alexander is said to have wanted Darius taken alive, so that he could be taken to Perspolis or Susa or Babylon for a formal transfer of power from him to Alexander. He wanted this to ensure his full acceptance by the Persian people and the aristocracy

@bold hilarious! I think once the Battle of Hydaspes is over, this will no longer be a concern. She can never go back to India anyway and Puru will have married Laachi by then, I guess. The real king Puru had 2 grown up sons and he himself was in his 40s, I read somewhere. But this Puru is still in his early 20s so maybe they will show a grand wedding.
