The story so far: After Karna's birth, the first 9 years of his life, his mom Radha hated him. Finally, after an incident where Karna saved her life by bringing a herb and outracing the sun, she started to love him.

The family then moved to Hastinapur. The story from that point onwards...

So Adirath & family move to Hastinapur, where they are all at the palace of Dhritarashtra for visas to Hastinapur (that was the only way I could interpret it). While there, Shon slips away and Karna goes looking for him, and they all end up in the court of Hastinapur.

There, Dhritarashtra's senapati boasts how he massacred the adivasis. Shon laughs, and Karna is aghast. Gandhari (who has a red blindfold just like in ⭐️B) asks Shon why he laughed. Shon tells them a joke about a general who boasted about cutting of the hands & feet of his enemies. Then the general was asked why he didn't cut off their heads instead, to which the general replied that that had already been done 😆 The entire court of Hastinapur burst into laughter. Gandhari then asked Shon what made him remember that joke. Shon told her that their senapati was the general he was referring to, and that his brother had already killed them. Again, Karna was shocked, as were their parents, who had arrived there by then. Vidura asks Adirath what they were. Karna responded that they were sutas.

Shakuni enters there as well. Vidura then orders the senapati to have his bow brought in, and orders Karna to pick it up. Karna refuses, saying that his mom had ordered him never to touch a bow. Vidura tells him that his mom would have to reverse that order. The general orders the guards to surround them, and Adirath orders Karna to pick up the bow, telling him that it's Radha's order as well, and Radha nods. Karna then tells Vidura about the incident where his uncle's hand was chopped off after he picked up a bow, and that he knows that he'll be punished. Saying this, he picks up the bow.

Dhritarashtra then asks Karna whether he can aim at stationary objects, moving objects or racing objects. Karna responds that he can aim at flying objects. Dhritarashtra then threw his pendant in the air, and Karna aimed at it and successfully struck it. The arrow was once again caught by Bheeshma, and Karna got flashbacks of their last encounter in Pandu's company. He surrendered the bow to Bheeshma, and told him in response that he'd never need to raise a bow again. The general demands that Karna be punished for touching a bow, and Vidura agrees. Gandhari asks to be allowed to mete the punishment, and rules that the punishment is that Karna has to eat 7 laddoos 😆 Shon too confesses his wrongs, and Gandhari sentences him to 8 laddoos. Dhritarashtra grants Adhirath citizenship of Hastinapur, and orders him to go to a certain village.

While they are going, they see some caves in a distance. Karna asks Adirath why is there no sound from their village, and Adirath tells them that it's in those caves. Karna asks him whether sutas aren't allowed to live in open spaces, and Adirath & Radha are both left speechless. Just then, their chariot wheel sinks, and Shon angrily announces that he'll kill the one who caused the wheel to sink.

As they are about to try to get the wheel out, a young girl appears. She meets Adirath and offers to get her father to take their wheel out for 2 gold coins. Adirath tells her that they'd take it out themselves, and the girl offers to reduce the price to 1 gold coin 😆 Adirath asks her her name, and she tells him Vrushali. Her father lives in the Suta village. Karna eyes her suspiciously, and figures out that she was the one who caused their wheel to sink.

Precap: Adirath & Uchchyasena are in the Sutanirman place, and they are told that they'll be allowed to settle there if Karna can be sent underground to recover something. Adirath is hesitant.

My views of the last few episodes:
  • Finally, Radha's vampish act has ended, and she's started to love Karna. All well and good, but the pretext on which she did that was rather selfish - she only starts loving Karna once he's saved her life. Doesn't reflect too well on her, but at least, that insufferable saga is over
  • Somehow, Bheeshma has a confrontational attitude towards Karna. Wonder whether in this serial, he'll ever know that Karna was Kunti's son
  • Vidura seemed pretty taken in by the general's boasts. Also, if there was an adivasi threat to Hastinapur, how come Bheeshma didn't take that out, leaving it to Karna?
  • Shon's joke was cute & funny. So was Gandhari's punishment for both the kids
  • Sutas lived in caves and were forbidden from living in the open under the sun? Where did that come from?
  • So in this serial, Vrushali is Karna's childhood sweetheart? 😳❤️ How cute!!! Since child marriage was common then, why don't they marry both these kids together soon? Maybe they might, once Karna gets the thing they want from pataal.

Still fictitious, but the story is now more entertaining 😆

Thanks Vrish for opening official EDT and I am thinking to watch the show now coz at least the familiar environment is there and with cute vrishali. I just hope this time she wont be anyone near Draupadi. I hated starb cvs for making her maid of her instead of kunti gandhari . And she loved the woman who insulted her hubby most as per starb This time I am ok with a
childhood sweetheart story. And also karna bheeshma face off showed karna's arrogant persona in built. That I liked the most

Are they trying to show sutas are some anarya tribe or what? Suta comes from Brahmin mother and Kshatriya father? Except doing activities of Brahmin and high caste Kshatriya sutas had all the regards in society. They were not untouchable for god shake.

While the above is one definition of suta, the other is that suta's were a sub-caste of kshatriyas - lower than royalty or military, but reasonably high - as charioteers. But yeah, they were by no means untouchables. Shudras were untouchables, but Sutas were a sub-caste of kshatriyas, not shudras.

Also keechak was a suta and commander in chief of Virat so how come sutas are prohibited to touch bow? What I feel only advanced technology or celestial weapons were what only brahmin and royal Kshatriya could acquire sutas were open for other military skills

Thanks for opening up the poll and this thread Vrish ! It was very much needed.
Out of the entire sequence. the face off between Karna and Bheeshma had to be the best. Surely foreshadows their friction in the near future. But somehow, by the looks of Bheeshma, I think he is already starting to doubt the boy. Shon is definitely good with words, if not weapons.😆

Vrushali as childhood sweetheart! But this is a little too early 😆Anyway, it will be of nok-jhok types, i m guessing. 😆

The SUTA Jhaap is becoming too much to bear, and unfortunately, its only the start. I am not going to talk of Radha as of now. Will wait for her to do something good for Karna.

Finally an EDT...This is was much much needed to vent out our frustratios!! 😆
I have to say this...the new Shakuni is unbearable!!
Usually dont like bashing actors but this actor is just unbearable...I thought that Praneet Bhatt did overacting sometimes...but this actor has shattered all records...I hope he will get better in the future.

Gandhari is pretty but looks older than the gorgeous Riya Deepsi...And Bhishma is quite cold compared to his nicer counterpart on Star Plus...

I liked how they showed Karna's arrogance building in him...but I feel it's too early to show this conflict between him n Bhishma. And the Sutaputra jaap is beyond tolerance!!
How much more sympathy do the CVs want to gain? The Sutas were not so downtrodden...When will the CVs get over this?

And finally Radha has started loving Karna...but it would have been so much better if they showed this love to be gradual instead of the abrupt change...

And Vrushali...n did I hear Vaishali?
Nonetheless...she's cute... 😳
Loved the scene n I guess we would have some cute scenes between them... 😳 I hope Karna n Vrushali are married way before Draupadi's Swamvar like it probably was in the epic...unlike wat was shown in Star Plus... 🤢
