If sources are to believed, Balram will end up marrying ultimately after watching today's SBS segment 😲!

I also saw it...I think this time too it will end with either balram getting beaten or everyone laughing it off ( since the brothers left happily for barsana)...Balram had married after kansa was killed...And dwarka was made

He does indeed! This throne looks so much more comfortable than his previous one - the mango tree. No wonder the King fell asleep here! 🤣

I really liked your VM great job on it 👏

To be honest I have not watched Suryaputra Karn. I heard a lot about it and am interested I did start to watch it a while back but I gave up on it as I was busy. It is definitely on my watch list but am a bit busy with school so holding it off for a while. But I feel I have watched so many short clips and mainly Vrishsen dies...so will I be able to watch that? 😕
I probably will watch it eventually for his acting cuz it seems top notch.
Basant also plays the younger version of Karn if I am not mistaken right?

Janu, thank you!

If you're busy then don't try to watch Suryaputra Karn yet. Give it a try later on if you like but just be warned - it is full of distortions and unnecessary over-fictionalisation, right from episode 1! If you can watch it and think of it as having no association with the Mahabharat then you might be ok, otherwise it will probably irritate you. I have a feeling that parts of it are based on the book Mrityunjaya, but I haven't read this so I don't know how much SK actually resembles the book. One thing I appreciate is that SK did show several stories/happenings that are actually from the mythology/literature/folktales, but they showed most of them in such a distorted manner that a lot of viewers actually thought they were also completely made up! 😆

Yes, Basant did play teenage Karn in SK - this was his debut TV role and then they brought him back later on as Vrishsen. Yes, Vrishsen does die in the show (the scene my VM ended on is from seconds before his death - I wasn't about to include the actual death in it!) and there is a funeral scene as well. The deaths in SK were actually mostly quite traumatic, including Vrishsen's. I found it really difficult to watch Vrishsen's death sequence (thanks to Basant's fantastic acting) and actually had only watched it once (when it aired in 2016) before I made myself watch it again recently while I was making my VM. This time it was less traumatic because I remembered it and knew exactly what was going to happen!

Basant and his fantastic acting (despite being given some, in my opinion, weird sequences to enact as both Karn and Vrishsen) were definitely the best thing to come out of SK, and I'm glad that he is now being more widely recognised for his talent, dedication and hard work. 👏 ⭐️⭐️

If you don't want to watch all of SK, you could just watch Basant's Karn and then Vrishsen parts in isolation. This way you can actually see that they gave him some pretty good character growth in both roles and that he did a really good job with what he was given to do, even though the storylines/sequences were, in my opinion, somewhat weird.

As we have also seen in RK, Basant acts fantastically no matter what he is given to enact! ⭐️ I particularly enjoy his portrayal of Kartikeya in Vighnaharta Ganesh, all the more because the VG writers haven't given him anything really strange to do or played around with his basic character.

By the way, I made another Basant-related VM recently, if anyone is interested in taking a look.

There are 5 videos in my post - if you do have a look then please watch all 5 with the sound on, and I would appreciate any feedback anyone has for me. 😊

You can see this at https://www.instagram.com/p/BuvRcTWhWLR/

Any Karnalis out there will probably enjoy this! (*cough, cough* Aarti) 😆

Just watched videos. I loved all of them. You have great skill of making videos I must day. And music is matching very well with the videos.

Last video brought tears in my eyes.

And great description of Vrishasen 👏 Basant acted very very well as both Karna and Vrishasen.

Edit : that fight scene between Abhimanyu and Vrishasen gave me goosebumps. Have to watch war sequence now. I watched only till marriage of Abhi and Uttara .😳

laughing part is done deal but kanha's tone was of bit more than joke and persistent this time... IMO we should be mentally prepared

that is accurate but cvs don't give two hoots about accuracy we know it...

If they are planning to make Revati's entry in the show, it will be most likely to happen in Pride stage of Love.

Also if Revati enters, we will have an advantage that it will save Balram's character.

I would highly appreciate if they show breaking of pride story with Balram and Revati.

Though I want them to put Revati on a halt and also want her to enter at the same time, ajeeb confusion hai bhai 😆, mic feelings😆.
