That was my interpretation of what the Ps would've thought. 😊

Also I think there was a part where Drona refuses to kill Yudi but promises he would bring Yudi in as a prisoner of war (the day of his fall), did I read that right?

Thanks for the replies on my Q’s, Pro! 🤗

Few more Q’s..

1. Where these people.. in particular Pandavas, Draupadi, Krishna, Balram and Subhadra ( yogmaya ) were godly or divine people OR those were interpolations? 🤔

2. Was Lord Krishna and Draupadi.. black in color? I mean.. where they black skinned? If so, why do almost all tv shows and films show these characters played by fair skinned people? 🤔

3. Why did Krishna want Arjun Subhadra wedding / relationship? 🤔 Becoz Yadavas were related to Kauravas also thro’ Marriage of their children, right? 🤔 So why did he want relationship of Yadavas with both Pandavas and Kauravas? 🙄

4. If Yadavas did have relationships with Kauravas then why did Krishna cause Kurukshetra war as it would affect his own people also indirectly? 🤔

That is pretty debatable. If one of them is considered a God, then everyone else also has to be a God. It's all up to interpretation. We don't have any concrete proof of God existing, but on the other hand there's no proof that God doesn't exist also. So...it's still up for an open discussion. 😳

2. Was Lord Krishna and Draupadi.. black in color? I mean.. where they black skinned? If so, why do almost all tv shows and films show these characters played by fair skinned people? 🤔

They were quite obviously dark-skinned. Apart from Drau and Kanha, Arjun and Yashoda were also dark-skinned. And TV wale, when have they ever done justice to dark-skinned characters? 😆

3. Why did Krishna want Arjun Subhadra wedding / relationship? 🤔 Becoz Yadavas were related to Kauravas also thro’ Marriage of their children, right? 🤔 So why did he want relationship of Yadavas with both Pandavas and Kauravas? 🙄

Children's marriage came after Subhy's na. Before Subhy there was only Kunti holding the rishta. Krishna did not want it to get 50-50 divided b/w Pandavas and Kauravas by marriage of Subhy+Dury...so he tilted it so there would be more rishtas on Ps side than Ks.

4. If Yadavas did have relationships with Kauravas then why did Krishna cause Kurukshetra war as it would affect his own people also indirectly? 🤔

Kurkshetra mein there were only 3 Yadavas- Kanha and Satyaki with the Ps and Kritavarma with the Ks. The rest of 'em were tucked away safely in Dwaraka. 😆

In brc he wanted arjun subhdra marriage as he knew ki unka kid will create history

Aisa krishna said along the lines

Few more Q's 🙄

1. Did Lord Krishna reveal the future to anyone? 🙄 Becoz BRC MB shows Krishna telling Subhy not to schold young Abhi and to allow him to do hard-work to come a very good archer like his father Arjun... and who he reveals about Abhi's fight in big war.. how he fights for 1 entire day.. and she asks back if her son will be victorious? 😭 Also, ⭐️Bharat showed Krishna revealing the future to Draupadi in a cave? 😲

2. Do we have anyone from Lord Ram's dynasty or Lord Krishna's dynasty alive in present world? 🙄

3. Is Ashwathama alive in today's world.. ? Was Lord Krishna's curse true or was it just an interpolation? 🙄

Nope nothing like that happened. Neither MB nor SB has Krishna actively prophesying. 😆

2. Do we have anyone from Lord Ram's dynasty or Lord Krishna's dynasty alive in present world? 🙄

The last guy from Rama's family (effectively Kush's lineage) was Brihadbala, he fought for the Ks and was killed by Abhi. Krishna's last known successor was Vajra, the one who constructed most of Vrindavana's temples. As far as I know he either didn't have kids or his kids were wiped out pretty soon.

Anyhow the next important Kings come from the Nanda dynasty.

The Mausala Parva incidents in the divine version happen only so as to wipe out the Yadavas because Krishna did not want them around anymore.

3. Is Ashwathama alive in today's world.. ? Was Lord Krishna's curse true or was it just an interpolation? 🙄

Interpolation ka pata nahi, but again that divine vs non-divine thing comes in. If Krishna was a God then all 7 immortals are still living on Earth, and so Ashwi also lives.

Okay my comments for today's episode.

The first scene in Kaurava camp. My God, the drama. Karna pulling a knife out to plunge himself with it🤣

I was laughing so hard at that. Apparently, penchant for drama and suicidal tendencies is not limited to Duryodhana alone but extends to his bestie too😆

Day 12 of war. BRC also loves these melodramatic climaxes where Arjuna returns just in the nick of time to save Yudhisthir from being captured. 😆 Bhim, Nakul and Sahadeva all became devoid of weapons by Drona's attack.😲

Wasn't Bhima reasonably good in archery too?

Nevertheless, the scene was enjoyable to watch.😃

Chakravyuha planning at night😔 Tensions running high in the Kaurava camp

Not looking forward to Abhimanyu Vadh😭

I was expecting the spy to be put to death, but he was spared for justice to be delivered later.

Good episode, enjoyed it especially because I had missed several episodes before this.😊

I liked the first scene. Really have started hating Puneet Issar, the guy is making me like Duryodhan. He was so cute in that scene

Visibility hurt that Karna considers his support as some debt. His acceptance was more important to him than everything else even war strategies. Felt bad for him.

Suicidal tendencies OMG, no doubt they are best friends. Bilkul ek hi Tarah k Hain

What? 😱 Last person in Lord Rama's family died in Kurukshetra war? 😱

I seems Lord Krishna methodically ensured that the none of family members... of which ever Vishnu avatar.. remains alive and procreating.. in this world..

Thanks for the info, Pro! 👍🏼

Yup, birds of the same feather flock together 😆

Also true about Puneet Issar. He plays Duryodhana so adorably sometimes that I have a hard time to dislike him.

Brc showed dury good qualities as well and he was good friend

Dury ke liye you will feel more bad and cute after karna death
