As the Pandav Brothers in our favorite epic are about to wrap up all the ADHARMA soon and then go off air soon I thought that I would post a topic where we can discuss how we got hooked on this epic series call Mahabharat and then became obsessed about it.😉 Some of us started from the very first episode and some started later but at this point we are all sailing or I should say rocking the same boat.
So here goes my nothing:
I have been fairly inactive in I-F for past year and half as there was nothing that appealed to me where Indian Televisions is concerned for a while but I still came here once a day to see what is happening(guess not so inactive) and see if there was anything that I could watch but alas! I couldn't find anything. About three weeks ago I had a break from work. As I was being moved to a different department after I got promoted I had three weeks off so that the offices can transfer my clearances. So here I was with three weeks free out of the blue and nothing planned to do. Couldn't plan anything cos hubby dear was working.
I am a huge Arrow fan. So two days into my first week off i was browsing youtube for the Season 3 promo of Arrow and I hit jackpot. There he was, in all his glory, the warrior with compassion Arjuna in the little video thumbnail on the right waiting for me to click on it. And in that lucky moment I clicked on it and I was mesmerised. The stance of a warrior with calmest expression of his face he took my breath away. It was the Kunti and Arjun Promo. Then I sat there and watched the whole Mahabharat in 4 days.
Initially I started watching it for Shaheer cos I loved his portrayal of Arjun. But as I went on I liked the performances of every character. The casting of this show is done very cleverly and all the actors do a magnificent job. The story is not dragged most of the times. The actors even make the distortions to the original story more digestible. Even though I am a Shaheer/Arjun fan I absolutely love how Aham Sharma did Maharathi Karan. The misjudged warrior is always shown as an out an out negative character but I like how CV's show him as gray and Aham did a fabulous job. All the actors have adopted all small and big things of their characters, created history and made me obsessed.
So here was my story and I know it got a bit long but it is my first topic post in a really long time.
Please share your stories on how you got hooked to Mahabharat.

PS: Am I the only one who hates that metal net bracelet they make Shaheer wear?
