Not just Kunti, even Gandhaari was a shrewd woman. You need to be so if you have remain relevant in royality

She’s not helpless but she lost her husband and had small kids that she constantly feared for. She brought them up really well. But still her life had its hardships. I admire how she endured and behaved when Pandu went for war and brought a second wife right after she was married. She’s wise, if not shrewd. There are few who can handle these situations the way she did.

She got blessing from Durvasa after all

I don’t find Gandhari shrewd. She had no control or support from her husband. A woman who doesn’t get support from husband, no one listens to her.

Had she been shrewd she would have not covered her eyes but taken advantage of the situation.

An interesting info I came across on Quora, don't know how much true it is 😆

Apparently when Kunti got preggo by Surya Dev, she was worried about her reputation because she won't be a virgin anymore after the childbirth. So Surya Dev gave her boon that to protect her virginity, she will be able to give birth to his child through her ear 😳 And that's why the son was named Karna 😳

Childbirth through ear? Ouucchhh

P.S Did kunti kept her 3 sons in her womb or it was like SP's Mahabharat!???

This was shown by SP MB 😆 Actually Pandu married Madri after a while he married Kunti. It is believed that Pandu was actually impotent & the whole Kundama Rishi Vadh & the curse was added later to cover up his impotence. Madri was brought in as Pandu's 2nd wife probably because the royal elders suspected Kunti to be infertile. So Madri was brought in to produce heir for Pandu. When Madri also failed I think they had to admit that it was Pandu. I am not saying it was good situation for Kunti, but Pandu - Madri marriage was not as dramatic as SP made it to be.

Neither Kunti nor Gandhari was as helpless or as dukhiyari SP portrayed them to be. They were women well versed in politics & both had the ambition to be the King's mother.

It was a proper pregnancy for all the four children and for the two Madri kids

They underwent normal pregnancy post Niyog and gave birth to babies

^^ 🤣

Pooja once said that her friends had made a group on Whatsapp called pooka Panchali and they keep sharing jokes on Draupadi 😆
