1- Bindusara disliked Ashok because his skin was coarse and he wasn't handsome. The dislike became stronger when he Ashok was becoming popular and Bindusara saw it as a threat to Sushima's succession. So he sent Ashok to suppress a rebellion in Taxila in which sushima failed but without weapons so that Ashok could perish there. Bindusara till the very end only wanted Sushima to succeed him. In first episode what Bindusara told to Dharma about Ashok's Kundali is actually what Ashok was written in real history. He was very cruel and people were genuine afraid of him.

2-Helena was daughter of Greek king of Babylon Seleucus Nicator and persian lady Apama. She was the most beautiful princess of her time. She was surrendered to Chandragupta Maurya when she was 16 in a peace treaty. Chandragupta and Helena had spent few months of their marriage at Sindh where he has gifted her moon shaped earrings. Later when she came to Patliputra she gave birth to her first child. On this day Bindusara was declared Crown Prince. She wasn't Villain, on the contrary her and Bindusara were of same age and were friends. As both were teenagers, they became friends quickly.

3- Sushim's mom name is nowhere mentioned so makers always take creative liberties with her character. In this show she has been given a Latin name called Diana.😂

Yup, I read about Ashok having "Von R####something" syndrome which makes him short in stature, a rather bigger head and is used to having epilepsy causing fainting even on the battlefield.
