Samba didn't do any of this nonsense. He did lot more vile things
1. He kidnapped Duryodhana's daughter against her wishes and is caught and thrashed but Balram threatens Hastinapur with destruction and Duryodhan is forced to marry off Lakshmana his daughter to Samba.
This story is in Bhagvatham and Harivansh
2. He looks very similar to Krishna and takes advantage of that and molests some of the wives of Krishna whom he had rescued from Narakasura. Krishna curses him with leprosy for this. He eventually visits some theertha and does penance to Surya to get rid of the curse.
This story is in skanda Purana and some other ones as well
3. He disguises himself as a pregnant woman to mock Rishis and asks them to guess the gender of the child he is carrying who then curse him that he give birth to an iron club which will destroy Yadavas.
The above is in Mahabharata Bhagvatham and Harivansh.
There is no mention of him or aniruddh etc going to any gurukul. Sandipani was only Krishna and Balrama's guru
However his being near about same age as his nephew aniruddh is correct. He would be just couple of years older than Abhimanyu and was adult at the time of Mahabharata war. Pradyumna most likely 20-25 years older.
Problem for Swastik if they show all this is then they will have to explain how the great and might Balram could've supported a rapist like Samba. They might have to explain what Balram did with Yamuna, one of Krishna's wives.
Samba didn't molest Krishna's wives. They slept with him apparently mistaking him for Krishna. Highly doubt any woman would do that no matter how similar they looked. It's not difficult to tell between a 50-some year old and a 20-some year old. Also, my feeling is that it was syphilis, not leprosy. Sun temple is the clue since the disease is supposed to be a curse of Sun God.
Production house needs to justify everyone of the yadavas but Samba. Hence all this nonsense.
