Okayy only intimate moments will be flushed out of her memory!?

I think so. Coz Shikhandini asked the precise question related to that only so the tap is directed at clearing out the intimate aspect.

I feel that apart from the fact that she would get her virginity every time she bathed all other stories are false and are used to make it suit out our sensibilities.

How is polyandry Adharm?

Because even Ashwini Kumars who are devtas have a common wife.

How is sex outside of married justified? As long as a woman can get her virginity back?

Satyavati had Ved Vyas with Rishi Parashar being unmarried, she not only asked him for a boon to get her virginity back, but also wanted a son through him and asked him to make her smell good as she smelled of fishes. Even a mahagyani Maharishi was born our of wedlock, he was well respected in spite of being born out of wedlock.

Also, look at kunti.

I somehow feel the issue here is not of sex.

I just found out that in previous birth Ahalya, was Draupadi’s daughter.

We are discussing in context of what SP MB is showing not the actual epic. Hence past birth or Ashwini Kumar examples are not relevant.

Also Yudi clarifies in the court drama today that Marisha who gave birth to Daksh Prajapati married 10 suitors. So in the limited context of SP MB what was discussed was pertaining to the s*xual aspect.

As such beyond the SP MB, Kunti and Drau are Panchkanyas aka eternal virgins. And you are right about Satyavati.

God they are editing so much

I feel like skipping the show.. Hotstar is way better.

Vyasa, Kunti and Yudhishthir cooks up bullshit to justify the sharing of Draupadi.

Tbh, here the question is not about whether it is right or wrong, but it is about consent- whether Draupadi was okay with it.

Now maybe she was, or she was not. From a political perspective, she was because without Yudhishthir she could not be empress.

But the fact remains- she was never asked. Yudhi Kunti etc took their decisions and Arjun didn't even bother to protest infact he said elder bro should be married before ie IN THE REAL TEXT.

I still as a woman do not think this is justified. Draupadi may have had her intentions but Yudhi or Arjun or Kunti had no intentions of making her empress but to keep the unity. So they basically used a woman as a rope to tie the 5 brothers. Which is wrong, no matter what the woman is thinking. Was she asked? No.

They even edited out the vows of 1year rotation, Draupadi doing tap, and no additional wife in city where Draupadi will live.. 🤪

No additional wife thing is not there in the main txt btw. She never said anything of this sort.

I know. My comments were related to what SP is showing and even in that they messed up. The scenes and dialogues are so choppy. I swear the actors might be giving big gaalis to the editing team😆
