Draupadi is but human.

Mahabharat by Ved Vyas states that Drupad asked for a daughter (Draupadi) to wed her to the greatest warrior of their time (Arjun). So in a way, she was born to be Arjun's wife. I'm NOT stating that, that was the sole purpose of her birth. We all know her birth had many other motives.
So I say, why shouldn't the lady get pissed when her favourite husband returns after twelve long years only married to another? I'm not saying Arjun or Subhadra were wrong or anything, they were destined to get married. But Draupadi was right in her own terms. She was jealous, she was shattered and she felt betrayed and she was his first wife.

Pooja Sharma makes me love Draupadi all the more!

U r right. Arjun n Subhadra were not wrong. But after all Draupadi was a human. N more importantly, Draupadi was his first wife, n Arjun her first love. So, it was obvious for her to feel hurt. N the 12 year long separation, at the beginning of their marital life, made her all the more desperate, n hence she expressed her anger.

I agree but only one correction Drupad never asked for a duaghter to be married to arjuna
He only asked for a son its just that out of the yagya along with a son he got a daughter as well.
Then he wished that his daughter be married to arjuna after she was born
He never asked the gods to give her a daughter that could marry arjuna
rest all i agree .Drauapdi was a wife and its normal for one wife to feel jealous or insecure of the other wife
