haan haan i know this happened...i just wanted to say that they didn't lie outright they just twisted their words to misguide dronacharya...man i am loving MB so much😳

Yup there are just so many layers to the story..I also like that part where Draupadi confesses that even though she has five husbands, her heart always craves for a sixth one which obviously symbolises Karna in an indirect way cos he was also Kunti's son..So brave and uninhibited😆

I feel bad for only one character that is "Abhimanyu" noone else.. I like Karna too but dont really feel bad.. But Abhimanyu's death was so hearth breaking, I still cry when I see that..

i haven't watched the old mahabharat and that is why i am loving the new one so much coz i don't have any standard to compare it against but everyone in my home says that they are not showing a lot of things in this one

Actually both Pandavas and Kauravas went to heaven..When the illusion was created, Yudhistra was given a choice between hell and heaven..He chose hell cos all his siblings were supposedly there..It was only later that its revealed all of them were in heaven😆


Ohh..I knew only till part when God tells Yudhi that he is not yet over of his love for mortal things and before going to Moksha he should not have longing for anything..

You are right in your way but when you go into the depth don't you think these legends are what that made our society what it is today .. whether it was Sati's immolation for love or Draupadi's Chirharan aur Sita ki pariksha .. Isn't what preached and looked superficially was adopted in the Depths of Indian society with Dharma gurus and other in general treating women based on it rather than what's beyond it.


I'll tell you what I think.

If you take the evolution of mankind, men hunted and brought home food while women stayed at home tending to the children and household tasks. It was kind of like the bees, where the Queen Bee is taken care of. The sacred feminine. And then came the manipulation of this. The minute food, money took precedence over the rest, some started manipulating and we ended up with this patriarchial society.
Of course the writers were flawed but there are so many sub texts and interpretations that its difficult to determine what it is.
I'd say the society influenced the writing more than the writers influencing it though it exists.

How cann Zoya be flawed? Gul always says zoya resembles her, so how can Zoya commit mistake ever? 😆
sadly all the female leads in Hindi shows are becharis. 😆 And I agree I would love to c leads with grey shades, but I guess according to makers it wont get TRPs.
But there is certain female character which I like, although she is not the lead but plays the male lead's mother which is also a significant role. She is flawed, independent & I really want to c female lead characters like that.

PPl believe that its Draupadi's sexuality which caused MB.. There was noone who could satisfy her sexual desires

Yep its true I was pretty small when reruns of old Mahabharat were telecasted either on SP or Zee so as unlike many I do remember many of my early childhood memories vividly... So yes its lacks many a vital info. I think BR Chopra's MB is airing on Star Utsav or Zee Anmol if anyone of you want can watch and compare.

But it can be said they are showing seeing after researching from 6 versions of legend may be that's the reason of unrelativity. May be they wanna show Mahabharat in a way that has never been explored before
