Chandranandni was a complete work of fiction, it was i guess declared to be a historical fiction. Nandani isnt any historical character, Unlike what was shown in that, Chandragupta loved Durdhara and she was his chief queen, he married Helena (which is again a fictional name of his Greek queen) a few years before his death by when Durdhara was already dead for years. The background of Chandragupta given in that show too didnt have any historical backing, so we can not go by that proof about the authenticity of history
There was no Porus for sure in India as that was a Greek name of some Indian king, This king could have been Purushottam or Parvatak or something else, plus there could be some other king with similar name who isnt famous in history, because back then there were 16 Janpads so there were around 12-13 other kings excluding Dhananand, Paurav Naresh (be he be Puroshottam or Parvatak) and AmbiRaj.
