She called him a mudpot? 😆 I didnt see the first half...

I dont like the unnecessary rude behaviour by Star Plus' Draupadi..but here she is replying only wen she is provoked...So I am liking it...😉

However the CVs could have avoided all this...Bcoz our Indian public has ultra-sensitivity n sharp memory wwn it comes to Draupadi's words...but then manifest amnesia wen it comes to the words of Duryodhan n other characters.

So Duryodhan's words will be forgotten but Draupadi's mud pot might be etched in history...😭

I really hope very few people are watching this show...😭

Poor Sony Drau even before the dice game she has already been insulted so many times

She is supposed to be an empress but any xyz can come and insult her,her birth and even almost rape her

She has no power whatsoever

Rajsuyayajna was looking like a joke.Yudi is supposed to be emperor and rest of kings his subordinates .Yet after all that Shishupal had done ,he was chilling in the court room like we chill in our dinning room.

Objection your honour!!👎🏼

Are u trying to say women are weaker?😉[Not speaking about physical strength here]

*putting on my feminist glasses*🤓😆

No Amrita. I was reminded of a line from someone's speech in Indian Parliament long ago - "There is only one man here, Indira Gandhi." I was saying Sony Drau also can be awarded with same dialogue!!! Manliness is after all a quality of mind, as much as virginity is. 4 of Panchakanyas had relations with more than one man. Still they are sacred virgins. Why? It is because of the quality of their minds, I think. And mental qualities are not monopoly of a particular gender. So I said SonyDrau is a man, not in any other ways.

Actually all 5 Panchakanyas had relationship with more than one man.

Ahalya

Mandodari

Tara

Kunti

Draupadi

Ma Sita is not one of Panchakanyas as is commonly mistaken. It is Kunti who is a Panchakanya...😳

As for the manliness...ok I am happy with the explanation...👍🏼

Objection overruled.

Exactly Sabhayata...

Even in Star Plus...they did the exact same thing.

Right from the very beginning Draupadi was being taunted for her polyandry!!

If I not mistaken except Karna n Dushasen noone ever insulted Draupadi for her polyandry.

And if Karna's words are interpolation...then except 🤬 Dushasen noone insulted her for this reason...And here everyone seems to have problem with her 'Paanch Paanch Pati'!!🤬

it's really a very sad thing tht people forget she only sacrificed for dharma, for future. We hv really became animals.

Whether she sacrificed for Dharma or not is debatable. Some say she did...some say she didnt.

But that is irrelevant here.

Firstly if she did have polyandry...then though uncommon, it was not unheard of.

If it had been a taboo...then Draupadi would have got ostracized

The fact that she became the Empress despite the polyandry proves the practice was there...though it was rare.

And if the practice is there...n wen the men themselves had so many wives n concubines...they had NO right to question her. Period. Unless she herself was unhappy with the arrangement.

In a society where monogamy is strictly followed by EVERYONE...such questions might be raised.

But at Dwapar Yug...this kind of question is hypocritical.

I dont support polygamy in any form...be it polygyny or polyandry but this hypocrisy really irks me.

Really nice to find someone who thinks like me. Generally people say that Draupadi was sad due to polyandry, although there is no such mention in the epic that I found. The thing that irritates me is when someone says that Polygyny was OK but polyandry made a woman characterless.
