Today's episode

I loved how in today's episode Sheshnaag protected Devki and Vasudev.

And then the statement of Krishna that Dau is bigger Naag than Kaliya.

It was such a cute episodes. I liked that they didn't show Balram ji as some one stupid

Aww I love that scene! And the way Dau woke hissing and all, it was soo cute! Both the brothers kept their their parents on their toes all the time!

Yes they parents would really have a very hard time

BTW did Rohini Maiyya know that Balramji is Devaki's son and she is just a surrogate?? Because her husband was in jail for months before she might have got pregnant.

In this case I guess she should know that Balramji isn't her biological child

Didn't they show that?

Show mein toh there are no less than 3 separate occasions where Rohini herself acknowledges being the surrogate and that Balaram was only "Devaki's dharohar" to her and all that.

Oh. I guess I missed it. So in that case Subhadra was the half sister of both Krishna and Balram. Why did Subhadra stay with Balram then instead of Krishna

I don't think you missed it. I think they cut all of that.

Surrogacy hi sahi, but Balaram was still Rohini's biological kid. She gave birth to him, and also nurtured him most of his life. And Subhadra was also Rohini's daughter (some versions disagree also) so she stayed with Balaram.

Although in some places I've also read ke Krishna and Balaram also stayed together, so idk who actually stayed with who. 😆

Actually what I had read was that Krishna and Balram had different palaces in Dwarika.

Subhadra ji was the daughter of Rohini Maiyya and she stayed in the palace of Balramji.

I used to feel that maybe it was not public or known to people that Balramji was the son of Devaki hence being siblings, Balramji n Subhadra stayed together in a house while Krishna ji and other half siblings stayed in other places.

Hence was confused knowing that everyone knows about Balramji being Devaki's son

This version is more popular than everybody crammed into one palace.

In the show also not everybody knows. The rishis all know whats happening. They obviously tell the 3 parents and Nand-Yashoda.

And Akroor ko sab kuch batana was inportant since otherwise there was a chance of resistance and disbelief when he was sent to bring Krishna Balaram to Mathura.

Other than these guys nobody actually knew the background details.

It was widely acknowledge (especially after Kans vadh) that Balaram was Devaki and Vasudev's seventh child. Rohini was the surrogate, not the biological mother. Even today, a surrogate mother gives birth to the child, but she does not share any DNA, particularly if she's only a gestational carrier. Balaram had Devaki's DNA, so he was Devaki's biological child but Rohini's surrogate child. However, Rohini like Yashoda raised him, so she's also his adopted mother along with being his surrogate mother.

Krishna and Balaram in general, regard both sets of parents as their own. Devaki and Vasudev were the biological parents, and Nand-Yashoda the adopted ones. In Balaram's case, Rohini. But Nand treated Balaram as his own as well, so he never lacked a father's love. These two brothers were showered with love and well wishes from all sides.

As for Subhadra, different versions disagree on whose daughter she was, Rohini or Devaki's, but either way, in those days half siblings were regarded as one's own. Just like Ram, Bharat, Lakshman and Shatrughan never differentiated among themselves, neither did Krishna, Balaram and Subhadra. She was both their sister equally, and loved both elder brothers equally.

Being a royal princess, she would have had her own palace, or even separate quarters in her parents' palace. I don't really see her living with either Balaram or Krishna, as they had their own families too.

I wonder if Kans knew about Balaram?

I mean, in the show it's shown ke all Gokul-vaasis know about Rohini, and therefore also knew about Balaram being a prince. They kept their mouths shut due to solidarity I get that but why Kans?

I mean Kans has a solid guess about Krishna being the 8th child, how come he didn't target Balaram who was 100% the biological kid of Devaki (he was going by the logic of Vishnu could be anyone na). Then why did he spare the clear target of Balaram and concentrated on the guess that was Krishna?
