I heard that post Mahabharata, Firoz khan started reading Geeta and became inclined towards Hinduism (although he didn't convert) is it true or some Hindutvawaadi propoganda

He also admitted that he considers himself fortunate that he could listen to the Gita despite being a Muslim and stated that Gita doesn't belong to the Hindus.

But why did Shikhandi, Drupad and Dhrishty came to Krishna separately? Yeh log aapas mein baat nahi karte the kya? They couldn't come together kya? 😆

OMG, the tone Kanha uses with Shakuni! 🤣

And symbolic meanings aside, why on earth are they soo fixated on having Kanha dine with them?! 🤣

Nahi I mean banda rest karle, but nahin, first we settle dinner plans, doesn't matter how long it takes! 😆

Loved the Krishna - Krishnaa scene at the beginning.❤️😳

I somehow do not like Shikandhi in BRC. As per the epic, Shikandhini turned into a man fully ( comparable to today's gender change operation). Here, the actor portrays Shikhandi as sort of effeminately as if he is a eunuch.

Lovely Karna - Bhisma scene 😳👏

Question though : why Bhisma stood by Duryodhana? He said "I can't leave Duryodhana".

Karna, I can understand, but Bhisma? He didn't make any vow to stick to Hastinapur as shown in TV serials as far as I know, so why?

Krishna as Shantidoot. 😳

Lol Duryodhana's face when Krishna went to Vidur instead of his house. Who in the right mind thought that Krishna would stay in Dushasana's house?😲🤣

@bold - yeah! It looks like mere kanha ka itna demand😆.

I think it was symbolic. Everyone wants God(the Ultimate Source energy) with them so that that will ensure victory but God will only side with the truth or dharma because God is truth and truth is God and so, the setting is by default. That is why Krishna says main keval dharma ke saath hun. He says jo paandavo ka mitra nhi veh mera mitra bhi nhi ho skta. Pandavas stand for dharma and so, his friends. Also, everyone thinks that they are right or they stand for dharma and therefore, God/Victory should be with them but the Source of all knows better.
