She isn't lying and nor is it stupid. It's her interpretation of Draupadi's relationship I guess.

Her exact answer is...That choosing one husband over another would be a sin for Draupadi. It's like 5 fingers, each has it's own importance and you can't do without one. She referred to SP MB line of Drau in cheer haran sequence that "aapke parivar ke liye apne jeevan ko tapasya banaya hai maine". So she didn't prefer one over the other.

I dislike what Yudi did but I dislike more that the all knowing Lord let HIM, who bet his wife and family and watch his wife getting stripped, sit on the throne. The problem is with the epic. It didn't show Yudi facing any consequence of his adharm.

Epic Draupadi did taunt Yudhishtir multiple times.

In fact if you ask me, her asking for Yudhishtir as a separate boon was an open insult.

She asked for the freedom of Yudhishtir because she didn't want Prativindhya to remain the son of a slave, but in second boon she asked for the freedom of her husbands' freedom.

I see this as her openly saying in a royal court in public that my other four are my husbands so dear to me, Yudhishtir is just the father of my son henceforth..

Unfortunately she couldn't do much because that's how those days were. Although the entire court was the culprit, but major were Yudhishtir+ Chandal Chaukdi. So with Chandal Chaukdi dead at least 80% justice was delivered. To ensure 80% she had to let go other 20%

Saying that, it's not like Yudhishtir wasn't punished, he had to face exile, during Agyatwaas Kanka was repeatedly insulted by Virat, even after the war his progeny didn't get to sit on the throne.

On the other hand, Duryodhan n Dusshashan died as a warrior on the battlefield and was called martyr at the age of 50s and till then he always had a royal life filled with luxuries.

Karna's n Shakuni's death were also a warriors death, aside their progeny continued to reign on their kingdoms

Punishment isn't just death, multiple things are included in it and I guess Yudhishtir did get a fare amount of it

Coming to Pooja's statement, I understand what she meant, in fact definitely till Dwit Sabha she loved all equally, but after that.........

i know he had ichha mrityu . but considering divine power n vardan etc dint exist how he stayed alive.

I don't think he had arrows stuck all over his body.

He was most probably only stuck by 2-3 arrows which didn't hit him on any vital organ, but the blood loss caused his death

His entire death including the Shikhandi angle is a big coverup to give him a dignified death

But his suffering in exile wasn't his alone. It affected his whole family. Where is his punishment? I am glad Drau, Bheem, and Virat repeatedly taunted him but that's nothing for what he did.

Regarding progeny, even other 3 brothers didn't get their kids on the throne and by extension Drau who deserved the most to have her bloodline on the throne didn't get it.

The truth is as you said for 80% dharm, 20% adharm is condoned.

Also Pooja didn't mention anything about love. So that's an inference by Mages. I am sure like every woman of today she would have been equally appalled how Yudi got away with murder of dharm coz he was on the right side and not because he was right.

BTW can someone explain why it was so imperative that Yudi sit on the throne? Isn't Bheem elder to Dury? With Drau who was believed to be quite politically astute by his side, Sahdev to guide with his foresight, and Arjun to protect and grow the kingdom, why Bheem couldn't be made a contender for throne?

The other three brothers were not kings for their progeny to become one, Yudhishtir was a king and yet his kids couldn't become one, both are completely different things. Draupadi again maybe be the queen but not the sole queen, not every queen could have their kids on Throne. But normally every king got their kids on throne, something which Yudhishtir couldn't.

Coming to punishment to family even KDDS' family got the same punishment as them.

Karna lost 8 of his sons(the total what 5 Pandavas collectively lost) who were at absolutely no fault, DuryDushy had their entire lineage finished, even Vikarna who supported Draupadi died.

Shakuni's brothers and sons died

So basically all five did get punishments just the nature of punishment was different.

Yudhishtir never"got away" he was punished by Karma, being in the right (or rather winning) side just made him publicly acceptable

Because the younger 4 couldn't think of anyone except their eldest bro as the king

Bheem n Dury are practically of the same age. Bheem was born during the day and Dury at mid night (thereby some calling him a day younger)

gosh seem like heated debate regards to pooja answer😆she meant about draupadi husbands whom is her fav this is something whether there is vastraharan chapter or no vastravaran chapter draupadi can never choose a fav husbands,she is wife of 5 pandavas and all 5 will be important to her just like 5 fingers is so much important to a human,the 5 pandavas completes her and its a sin if draupadi choose 1 over another

now coming to taunting yudishtir and detached from him due to the humiliation she and her other 4 husbands had to go through thats her personal relationship furthermore the love maybe drifted away from her heart but the respect was always there for yudishtir thus he is still important to her

those days there are no divorces thus she can't do much except for tolerating him for the sake of her son but in our kalyug gen people like yudishtir will be jailed by their wives🤣

there is no wrong in pooja's explanation and she definitely did not lie even if draupadi comes infront of us and we ask the same question she will tell the same all 5 are important to her and its a sin to choose 1

as readers we know arjun-bheem loved understand and respected her the most
