My thoughts regarding who is Karan... I think it is Aakash for 3 reasons:
1) he is the illegitimate son of SP (fun fact Karan's father is Suraj and SP stands for Sun).
2) I believe Yash means glory. I associate glory in Mahabharata to Arjun
3) Karan only ever wanted Kunti's love, nothing more really. We will need to see some sort of sacrifice being made by Akash for Yash to really find out who is Karan and who is Arjun
I have always felt badly for Karan while reading the Mahabharata. He was a good man with good principles but society kept torturing him for his roots. If we look back o the Swamvar, it was said that Karan couldn't fight for Draupdi's hand in marriage because he was not a prince, even though he was able to lift the bow.
Now, what if that is the point of Aakash. He is there to show that even though i might be rustic, i still have a heart.
Actually in the whole thing I think Yash in Kunti - he did tell Prashant that they shared everything :-)
Why do i also get the feeling that this is also going to be a little bit liek Masoom. Who wants the kids to sing and dance to Lakadi ki Kati!
