Sumedh is good but IMO he doesn't fit the part of adult Krishna...that too delivering Geeta Saar.

Kinshuk always reminds me of Sanju...though he looks nothing like his younger self. 😆

Yeah sumedh is young does not looks the part of krishna who delivered geeta. Plus i still don't see the need of introducing mb track in radha Krishna. The show should have ended with kans vadh

Even if we say that everyone died still the number of deaths would be 4 million, 1 billion 660 million can never be a possibility, in fact I did a wrong calculation last time, 1 billion 660 million would be 415 times of 4 million (number participated in the war) if we double the count to include the saarthis still only 8 million people died, the number given in StriParva is 200 times of even this number

Please do not try to fit rationality or logic in any number given in Mahabharat.

The number of 1. 6 billion given there is greater than the 1.3 billion population of India we have today.

Does anyone really think one few hundred sqkm big kurukshetra can accomodate men more than the entire population of India. Even if they are standing hugging each other..

The numbers in the epic have no sense or logic, because the epic is a poem. The poems are allegorical and metaphorical and written in hyperbole. That is why they are called poems.

We have had two world wars with less people than the one mentioned in the epic and they were fought over two big continents

Did he share any source though?

The number could be true, but somehow I can't conclude it to be so high at a time when population was so less

No. He just said he's reading and shared the no.

They should have brought new actors for Krishna and Balram, it's not some adult

Aside are we into Mahabharata era so soon? The last episodes were of Krishna marriage with Satyabhama and Jamvanti

Yep. It was to start from 23rd March. But due to Corona, it can't. Now from 13th July.

Sumedh is a wonderful actor. And so is srj. I will wait to see how kinshuk fares. Shaheer was a big let down. A bad choice. O hope skt had choosen a better arjuna this time around.

Though i don't see a need to introduce mb track in show that is titled radha Krishna.

Kinshuk is also a let down . I saw him in Karn Sangini, he was indeed a let down.

Kinshuk was Arjun in Karna Sangini, never felt he was worth being near to Arjun

Seriously 😆. Why does skt keeps repeating the same mistake. Pick a wonderful krishna and then pick a bad arjuna . There are many actors who could have easily replaced shaheer and kinshuk. Shaheer has already ruined arjuna. Now i don't know what kinshuk will do.

I am not giving logic. I just said the same thing. 1 billion deaths is impossible at that era

Yudhisthira told Dhritarashtra the no. of casualties and the no. of survivors.

Casualties were exaggerated almost 415 times like you calculated. I assumed that the same exaggeration was applied to the survivors as well.

Oh ok ok good that way

Anyway, RK's MB will be hugely distorted.
