The Bhishma and Amba angle was indeed a good one in Kekta's MB. I liked it because Ronit Roy was great as Bhishma and Rakshanda Khan was no less. Their depiction of Amba's suffering was very effective. I, for one felt very disgusted with Bhishma in his disability to accept Amba. He'd have been a true Kshatriya in standing up for her and making amends. But the whole akhand pratigya thing made him helpless. Had it not been the way it was and should he have accepted and married Amba, things would have been very different. Their son would have taken the bloodline ahead. There would not have been the need for Pandu and Dhritrashtra to be born. Consequently, no Pandavas and Kauravas would have been there to fight a war.

The part in bold - agree completely ! That was the most sensibly n well treated track of Ekta's Mahabharat .Ronit and Rakshanda , both did very well in that part n the pain of Amba n helplessness of Vhishma was very well depicted .Now , coming back to the topic of the post - I absolutely think Vhishma was wrong by not marrying Amba immediately when she asked her to do so .Was his ' Akhand Pratigya ' n all more important than a young beautiful princess's life ? Her happiness , her wounded self-respect . For me Vhishama's other than flawless character hits dust there . ( mind ! he is my fav character in entire Mahabharat ) 😳If he wanted he could still maintain celibacy , at least Amba would've got back her lost self-respect n self-worth .

I did not know this. If everything was thus fated Amba's fate too must have been predestined. Looks like a case of honi ko kaun taal sakta hai The battle of Kurushetra could also have been predestined making it inevitable 😲 😕!Originally posted by: bhas1066
hi
as far as i know when the 8th vasu was cursed to take birth by rishi vashishta , he also cursed that Dyu would be childless so even if he had married amba i dont think he would have had any heirs.
"The virtuous Apava, however, said, 'Ye Vasus, with Dhava and others, ye have been cursed by me. But ye shall be freed from my curse within a year of your birth among men. But he for whose deed ye have been cursed by me he, viz., Dyu, shall for his sinful act, have to dwell on earth for a length of time. I shall not make futile the words I have uttered in wrath. Dyu, though dwelling on Earth, shall not beget children. He shall, however, be virtuous and conversant with the scriptures. He shall be an obedient son to his father, but he shall have to abstain from the pleasure of female companionship.'"

Looks like what will be will be 😛 No point in human beings fretting and fuming over anything. Yet there surely must be at least some free will involved ...or else paap or punya does not make sense ..hmmm.Originally posted by: bhas1066
@bold:
of course it was predestined. it doesnt seem right to us , true, but without amba's need fr vengence shikhandi would not have taken birth and who else could have defeated bhisma in the battlefield?
remember even parashuram gave up on stalemate.
amba's treatment was the catalyst for the defeat of bhisma.
