Shakuni's eternal love for his cute little 'Sena' though 🤣

True love 🤪

TF. It was Karna who gave this disgusting shameful idea of Draupadi's vastraharan. 🤢

Haan yaar that's true. 🤣

Yep, he also effectively gives the final order for the disrobing! 🤢

Vidur spoke freely maybe cause he was the only one who thought of being loyal towards dharma and not any specific person or rajsinghasana.

Duryodhan just asked Vidur to leave and yet Dhrithrashtra had nothing to say.🤓

How disrespectful is that!

Ps were Yudi's property toh Vidur was also Dhrity's and by extension Dury's property. Messed up, the lot I'm telling you.

Anybody feeling angry with the blind king? And the venerable Kuru elders who sat silent?

Well, I know Bhishma is pained. But only he had an authority to order the king. While he could not do that, his pain does not attract any sympathy at least from me. If feeling pain is all, then I must say, no one in this Sabha is feeling more pain right now than the Pandavas. Even among them, Yudhishthira is feeling the maximum pain since he has an additional burden of guilt unlike the other four.

Atleast Dury said Mahamantri Vidur and regarded him as a minister and not his personal sevak, whom he needn't ask if he's willing to be put at stake or not 🤓

Exactly. Dhritarashtra should have spoken up for that person's honour who was not only a brother but his best guide as well. The way he sat quite shows how irresponsible king and family head he was. Basically, his silence added to the helplessness of Pandavas.

Hardly an improvement. Remember Mahamantri was still lower in status than Yuvaraj. Very cunning, planning the game in the raja-sabha, where everybody would be tied to their position and it would take twice the courage to stand up hun!

I have no sympathy for anybody sitting there. Everyone had a choice to speak up for the greater good and dharma but everyone kept mum for their own maryaadas.

And I might sound harsh but there's no value of anyone's pain here.

Guys, I am seething here.

How can the elders keep quiet? Ugh.

And the Pandavas? Their unity is a huge detriment at this moment.👎🏼

And Duryodhana asking Vidur to get Draupadi🤢

And Karna being his worst self here. 👎🏼😡 He is my favourite character, but I absolutely loathe his actions and words here.

On another note, Roopa Ganguly killed it at the last scene. 👏

I absolutely admire and love Draupadi and she seemed to live the character. ❤️
