Yup, but Eku being Eku doesn't know history as you do and definitely needs you as a history teacher for her shows. But, Persian, Iraq and so on are still outside of India for her. She doesn't consider half-half, anything non-Indian, that's foreigner thus apt for a villainous role for her.

And the funny thing is Helena is called Princess of Greece even when she never visited there.🤣Her half sister and fully Greek woman Phila was married to king of Macedon 🤣

A bit shocking that Helena never visited Greece. But how does Phila's story fit into A Shock's story?

It doesn't unless they try to show friendship between Bindu and Antiochus. Phila was half sister of Antiochus who hear me out married Phila's mom Startonice. That's right Stratonice was wife of Seleucus and gave birth to Phila but Antiochus wanted her and he fell fatally in love with her. Seleucus seeing that his son would die gave Stratonice to him 🤢 weird family 🙄😒 but not as weird as Ptolemies 🤢

She didn't, Greece wasn't in control of Seleucus. She lived in Babylon and in very young age was married off to Chandragupta.

Helena as a secondary queen was highly possessive of Chandragupta. But ekta turned her this trait into something else.🤣😂 She was never Agramahishi. She wasn't qualified for it, she was young, didn't understand the customs, wasn't skilled enough to manage a harem. She was like hurrem of Magnificent Century only before mature hurrem. She managed her kids with help of her maids which Chandragupta gave her. Chandragupta didn't have queen problems because Chanakya was very strict. 🤣😂 No queen could even try to mess with his head or heart. Helena is given way too much importance in popular media. In fact her character was joyful and childish. 😂

The less you relate the Ptolemies to India, the better! Rakshabandha would lose all meaning if you do that 🙄. Plus, they were said to be Greeks and not really learnt in ancient Egyptian and spoke their language of origin. Pharaoh would marry his own daughter or brother his own sister, just because their blood was considered sacred and from the light or God himself!

Actually minus the screaming and the Herculean like scenes of yesterday's episode, Adnan acted pretty well and also, pronunciation could use a bit help when doing the shouting scenes!

And can they just not do shouting scones altogether? It looks childish. Controled anger and speaking through gritted teeth (not likebin Animal though) is seem more like calculating and manipulative, as Ashoka was said to be intelligent and shrewd!

His anger expressions also need to be toned, his scrunching nose doesn't look good

I guess our face just reacts on it's own when doing an angry expression. But if he can do that, sure, would like to watch that.

Ashok was very hardcore but also he succumbed to his emotions easily whether anger (Sushim) , love (Asandhimitra) and Lust (Tisyarakshita)
