I do understand your comment on BRC's MB, Vrish. I had quite a huge embarrassing experience with it 🤢

If I remember correctly, BRC's MB said Karna was unmarried and I believed it. According to that serial, when Duryodhan asked Karna why he hasn't married, Karna replied that he fancies two women. Duryodhan asks him to name them and he would get them both for Karna but Karna says that he can only accept one. When asked for an explanation, Karna says the maidens he sought after are Arjun's death or hiw own. 😕 I kind of took this quite seriously and even ended up in a debate with another person who then brought me books and translations to show me that Karna was indeed married and had many sons. ...

I was glad that someone took the effort to show it to me, though 😊

It was much later when I sought out more information that I found little tidbits about Karna's wives Vrushali and Supriya but there was some information about Ponnaruvi as well.


Episode discussions here?
I was really glad to see the gold mountain story... I have been wanting to see it onscreen.

Also, in every Mahabharat portrayal, it is shown that Barbarik meets Krishna the first time when the war is imminent. Does any version show his earlier meeting with Krishna? I remember reading a story about that...



Vibs, from what I recall, BRC never had anything about Karna's marital status. In some passing references, Karna did say that he owed his everything - his own life and that of his sons and others to Dury. But there was nothing in that serial to suggest that he was unmarried. Of course, the scene of Bheeshma telling Dury Karna's secret, and Dury preventing Yudhi from doing Karna's last rites were BRC's vapid inventions. Incidentally, I voted for BRC in the above poll.

The only mention of Karna's wife in Vyasa is when Krishna approaches him and reveals to him his real secret. In their conversation, Karna mentioned that all his marriages had been arranged marriages to suta women by his parents, and none of them are named. Also, during Karna's funeral, when Kunti reveals to Yudhi his secret, Karna's wives and other survivors are summoned and asked to join Yudhi in doing his water rites. Those are the only 2 places his wives are mentioned. In Vyasa itself, he had no son named Vrishaketu, and in Vyasa, he had 5 sons, all of whom were killed on days 17 & 18. On day 17, Satyaki killed Prasena and Arjun killed Vrishasena b4 his final encounter w/ Karna. On day 18, Nakul killed Karna's remaining 3 sons - Chitrasena, Sushena & Satyasena.

Oh. So... Karna's family was obliterated as well in the war, according to Vyasa... Were any of his sons (or daughters) married? Any of them had children of their own? From what I had read, Vrishketu was the last person with the knowledge of the astras and Krishna bid him to keep the secret and not pass it on as it would bring mass destruction if it was available in Kali Yuga.I have no idea if he was married and had children of his own...

...

About yesterday's episode, I loved the father-son chemistry. It was beautiful to see Vrishasena supporting and taking care of his father and Karna leaning on him - the portrayal was so realistic and beautiful 👏

Vibs, the son they show in this serial is Vrishaketu - they showed him being born to Supriya and being named as such. Vrushali has a weird relationship w/ Karna - she's not married to him, but lives w/ them nonetheless. There are no Vrishasenas, Prasenas, Chitrasenas, et al.

I think they probably wanna keep him alive for Arjun.

As for the original Vyasa, yeah, all Karna's sons were killed. It's not known whether he had any surviving grandsons. The description does mention his wives & family, so he may have had those

^^ In the child naming scene, they named him Vrishaketu, or so I got to know from here... But surprisingly, he is being addressed as 'Vrishasen'..
So, I think its 2 in 1...😆
