Dear, Ahankara can never be Asandhimitra. It was devi who was princess of ujjain though scholars say she may have been only a normal merchan'ts daughter. So if ahankara marries asoka she can only be devi or no one. About Sakyakumari, when Vidudbha started slaughtering shakya people they ran into different places. It is stated that she was sakyakumari but it was just another buddhist modification to relate asoka and his wife with buddha.

Asandhimitra was a princess of the Assandh region.

If Ahankara is portrayed as Asandhimitra it will be historically inaccurate. But this is not exactly a historical show. And not much was known about Asandhimitra to begin with.

Devi was the daughter of an ordinary merchant. Kaurvaki was the daughter of a fisherman.

All their portrayals in the media so far has been inaccurate. The love of Ashok's life was Asandhimitra. She remained his chief consort for a very good reason.

Kaurvaki or Devi just played a role in Ashok's conversion to Buddhism. That is all.
