CGM era is over - Page 3

Yes, history had no Nandini and Chandragupta mourned Durdhara's death for years (30?) and married Helena much later whom he fell in love with. The Greek princess was supposedly a very good queen and loved Chandragupta in turn. We knew Ekta was taking liberties with history. But at least she needs to be faithful to her own storyline - if Chandra is mourning Nandini to the extent that he has become almost hermit like, he shouldn't have fathered kids with Helena. Doesn't make sense.

CGM did not mourn Dhurudhara death for many years

He married many princess because he needed their kingdoms support for war against nand

The smaller kings wanted a strong reason to support chankya and CGM too, what better way than marriage alliances to future emperor?

But Bindusar was brought up only by dai ma and maids in Chankya or CGM absence not any wife

You are right there are so many kids of CGm springing up i am confused now

Reminded me of Akbar in JA serial all of a sudden so many children when Salim grew up

Helena need not have been negative in show

have a few more wives and make them negative would be better

I am sure the real Chandragupta married other wives though history does not elaborate on that aspect. His love according to history was Durdhara and years later, Helena.
But in this romanticized show, he has a fictional love, Nandini, and if he loved her so that he has given up his kingdom and roams around like an ascetic, surely a man so madly in love has no business fathering other children. If he has lived as a husband to Helena then this extreme obsession and madness for Nandini is neither logical nor believable. It just doesn't make sense.
