I read that name of Karna's wife was Hrituwati. In Yagyaseni novel there is mention of Asmita his girlfriend.
Avinaash(akhl) has read the whole Mahabharat. He can correctly answer it. I m also curious to know

Karn's wife was Vrishali. Some authors have given some other names for her. That is perfectly all right because in those days, the same person was called by various names.
Karn had four sons according to Mahabharat - Vrishasen, Chitrasen, Sushen and Satyasen.

Karn had four sons - Vrishasen, Chitrasen, Satyasen, Sushen.
Arjun killed Vrishasen when Karn was commander of Kauravas. This means that Vrishasen was killed before Karn.
Nakul killed other three sons of Karn after Karn had been killed. This happened when Shalya was the commander of Kauravas.
If we see the order in which Karn and his sons were killed, then we find the following sequence: -
1. Arjun killed Vrishasen.
2. Arjun killed Karn.
3. Nakul killed Chitrasen.
4. Nakul killed Satyasen.
5. Nakul killed Sushen.
So sad to see that even youngesters like Karn's sons and Draupadi's sons fought in that war. It was their age to enjoy life but they fought and were killed in the war.
