My little Shagun,
I thought your exams were still on? What are you up to then circulating all this faltu stuff?
It does not matter who Chandragupta Maurya's wife is. It is most unlikely to be a love story, even allowing for Ekta's uchit aur aavashyak natakiya rupantar. The lead pair will be Chandragupta and Chanakya, so it is far more important who is going to be cast as Chanakya. I hope it will be Manish Wadhwa, for he will bring intelligence and authority to the role,and he and Rajat together will raise the bar very high.
If at all there is to be a "heroine" for this show, it would be Helen, the daughter of Seleucus Nikator, one of the generals of Alexander the Great, who ruled a kingdom in what is today Afghanistan before he was defeated by Chandragupta. I expect Ekta will be looking around for a blonde beauty to cast as Helen, though the Macedonians, and Greeks in general, were and are mostly dark haired.
As for Chandragupta's first Indian wife, Dhurdhara, by all accounts she died when their son Bindusara was born. So I doubt if Paridhi, even if she was approached, would want such a role!
I don't know who this Nandini is, nor do I care. Neither should you and your friends here, who seem all set to enter into terminal depression!😉
I was amused to see how much your post has made them feel badly let down; that is because your title sounds so misleadingly optimistic! I would have called it Reported choice of actress opposite Rajat in CGM bodes ill😡, and then no one would have felt so disappointed.😉
So, my pet, you should relax and concentrate on what is left of your exams, there is a good girl! Jo bhi aakhir mein tay hota hai, tab ki tab dekhi jaayegi.
