Part 1 - Why Suryaputr Karn (the TV series) is a good thing for Arjuna fans.

=
Intro - this post is of another rare type, as it will be using a tv serial as it's source for claims made. My objective is to prove arjun as a better fighter than karna based on this tv serial only.

I may have to make more than one post for this topic (SPK BEING BETTER THAN Star Plus or just being a bad thing for Karna fans yet a good thing for Arjuna fans).

The reason tv series in my opinion is good is because it show's the main character (karna) losing battle's and conflicts repeatedly. It also makes Karna do things that show him indirectly supporting the caste system & pandavas (who are portrayed as evil beings here).
=
I will make a follow-up post about this topic (why SPK isn't as bad as they think). Because their are many point's here i am just going to mention the obvious ones that matter.

In this particular post i will first mention Jarasandha but most of it is about Arjuna so read till the very ending of it.
=
1st reason;
In episode 87 their were at least 6 occasion's where my man Jarasandha overpowered Karna.
{I}
{II}
{III}
{
IV}
{V}
{VI}
Also if you do take the liberty of using common sense to compare Jarasandh's fight with Bheem in the same serial then you can see that Jarasandh had a much tougher and harder time wrestling/boxing him than he did against Karna.
=
2nd reason:
Regarding the show's portrayal of Karna vs Arjuna fight's they actually are in Arjuna's favor.
The 1st major duel.
(It's background)
It happened right after Arjuna exerted his power against Kourava prince's, building a throne of arrows for Yudisther and countering Ashwathama's MAYA, even immobilizing Duryodhan. Since arjuna did those four thing's he is bound to not be at his full power, while Karna on the other hand came at him fresh with a kavach kundal (in the TV SHOW it's a unbreakable armor). So it was a unfair fight for Arjuna yet he still equaled Karna in all aspects of the fight.
The fight itself.
In episode 77 it start's, and karna scores one blow in the first minute of it. In the next minute Arjuna's weapon failed to injure karna due to his kavacha-kundal only not karna's own ability as a fighter. Then during the fifth minute of the fight Arjun fired bhaye astra to fill karna's mind with emotional fear, he was successful until karna had a flashback of parshuram's teaching.
At minute Karna next fired andhakh astra which Bhishma considered to be too destructive, but Arjuna easily negated it. Ironically the name of Arjuna's weapon was MRITYUNJAY Astra (get-the-pun). Their fight continued in episode 78. Both warriors were deprived of their bow's.
{gif's as evidence}
Now to continue the synopsis of the rest of this fight.

In episode 78 during the two minute mark Arjuna/Karna just hurl two random objects at eachother which destroy themselves. Both warrior's somehow call their bows back into their handles through magic or a different nameless tactic. Then Arjun prepared to invoke Brahmastra while Karna prepares to call the Bhargavastra.
Seeing that Bhishma/Drona both decide they need to put an end to this battle as it's too dangerous to have both weapons collide or even be invoked in such an area. But they can't stop either of the warriors as the Sun isn't even close to setting so Kunti prayed to the sun god who set on his own & Drona announced the duel's ending too.

RESULT: the 1st major battle between Karna/Arjuna was inconclusive, but Arjuna was evenly matched with karna despite suffering from stamina-drain (as he went through multiple battle's right before getting to Karna). So Arjuna deserves to have one point over Karna here.

Score-board; Arjuna 1 Karna 0.
=
Their next major fight is the 2nd one, it happens in Droupadi's Swayamvar, here too Karna is armed with kavacha kundala. Episode number is 115 so u can find it yourself too. Arjuna having a fake beard would also mean that he is required to ensure it never falls off his cheeks otherwise his disguise will fail.
On 1 hand you have Arjuna that is handicapped on the other hand you have Karna who is plot armored with kavacha kundala.
The total duration of their fight was 3 minute's so not very long compared to their former battle. Still in the first minute Arjuna cut karna's weapons 3 times (i refer to them as weapon's not ordinary arrows due to the lack of quivers in this TV serial).
Karna is impressed by the brahmins power but Arjuna was not impressed with karna indicating that it's easier to impress karna than it is to impress Arjuna this proves that Arjuna had higher standard's than Karna did according to this TV serial. Karna praises the brahmin out in the open but Arjuna does not do anything similar for Karna.

Then Karna in the next minute get's shocked seeing the similarities this brahmin warrior had with Arjuna. For a moment he let his guard down against Arjuna's weapon, this is where the kavacha-kundala came to work & saved karna otherwise he would have died or atleast been defeated their.
[Proof/Gif]
Judging by the look on his face he (Gautam Rode/Karna) was clearly scared.

Barely 2 & a half minute's into the duel and Karna said "excluding myself their is only one warrior in the world who is this CHAPAL" then near it's ending karna holds one arrow of arjuna in the air after it was fired.
Yet he then decided to make up an excuse that he does not want to continue this duel in the marriage ceremony of a arrogant woman like Droupadi so he chooses to walk away. But the point still stand's that if the kavach kundal wasn't on him Karna would have lost.

So SCORE BOARD is Arjuna 2 Karna 0.
=
Their next fight does not happen until the 11th day, but it was a boring duel. They had another minor duel against one another at day 12. But karna fled to fight abhimanyu instead, similarly he choose to fight Bhima in the midst of his fight against Arjuna during day 11. Both duel's did not reach a conclusion they came to no result.

So it can be ignored too, fast forward to the 14th day where a angry arjuna fought Karna. Before i analyze this duel its important for me to give the back ground & story/context of what happened to both individuals involved in this fight.

Karna began the battle in a fresh, healthy condition, he was calm & patient, he had not exerted any of his energy against any warrior before this duel when it comes to this day in particular. But Arjuna had to fight with Ashwathama, Drona, Shalya & Duryodhan too before he faced Karna. Thus he would not be at his very best or at full power.

The FIGHT ITSELF.
Arjuna was on the offensive while Karna was on a defensive position in this fight, Arjuna was not on his chariot but Karna was not either, so Sri Krishna did not interfere at all.

[gif part 1]
Detail's: Jayadratha was right behind Karna (who is in-front of him) while Arjuna is able to harm/attack Jayadratha despite Karna being present in the field. YES after this moment Karna was able to destroy the snake he summoned.
But only due to bad writing as when karna does do that Arjuna chooses to just look at him instead of seizing the opportunity to injure karna or harm Jayadratha even more.

[gif part 2]
Details - Arjuna was able to injure Karna twice.
[G i F]
All haters and fans of both character's appear to ignore the achievement's of Arjuna over Karna in this TV series.
Karna's inability to stop a tiger (Arjuna) from killing his prey (Jayadratha).
{GIF}
[This's karna's reaction]
[Final gif concerning the 14th day]
Note; It look's like Mr Bhangu (actor who played arjun's role) destroyed the symbol for SONY TV.

It would be unfair to not credit this as Arjuna's win. He not only wounded Karna but also decapitated Jayadrath with his dad ("Vriddakshatra") and before that he engulfed him in a Naag Paash. But since Karna did injure him once i should give him a point to be fair.

SCORE BOARD: Arjuna has 4 points, Karna has 1 point.
=
BONUS - Virat Yudh.
It happens in episode's 179 and 180.
{gif}
{gif}
In this battle Karna broke his own bow & admitted that he lost vs Vrihinallah (arjun in disguise). So logically it should be the W of Arjun but the reason it does not count is because the plot/screen-play is implying that Karna lost on purpose to his enemy.

Conclusion - though it's definitely worth mentioning i will not count any points against karna or in favor of Arjuna's score here. Because of the way it was portrayed in this TV serial. Instead i will focus on the final two battle's of both characters/actor's in the show.
=
16th day.
Explanation:
What happened in these episodes (274, 275, 276) is that Karna goes to fight Arjuna, but Yudisthir distracted him, then Duryodhan fight's yudhisthir while karna is busy just screwing around doing nothing in the war.
After that Bheem killing kouravas & duhsasan being endangered takes place. But Karna is stuck fighting arjuna, he did this to protect Aswathama (who was disrespected by the script-writing team of this series).
Then as Duhsasan is being beaten by Bheem it's upto Karna so he can save his friend's brother, but arjun doesn't let him leave their duel so Karna fired the snake weapon which Aswashen (the naga) was seated on. After that Karna leaves to fight Bheem, though Bheem kills the driver of Karna he is unable to defeat karna.
So Karna binded Bheem in a circular arrow astra then went to protect Duryodhan from Arjuna. But what happened is that Duryodhan being stuck in this icy dome/prison could not be saved by even Karna either (who had no chariot, horses or driver despite being a chief of an army).

Arjuna cut's all arrows of Karna, no attempt made by him is successful. Then in the beginning of the 276th episode it was arjuna who saved Duryodhan not karna if you don't believe me you can see the GIF below.
{Proof}
Anyway's after that Karna with Duryodhan just went to witness the murder of Duhsasan. But only cause arjuna let both of them leave.

Logic - since their duel was constantly interrupted with karna either needing to go to save duhsasan or someone else it seems fair to exclude this duel since this's a fight which lacked a result. I only wish that i didn't forget to put my name in the GIF this time.

Their is one more no result encounter between them (KarnArjuna) on the 15th morning (after Ghatotkaca's death) but it is irrelevant as their was no result, neither warrior was winning that duel. So i ignored it like i ignored the 11th day 12th day.
=
FINAL BATTLE.
This fight happens in Episode 280.
Background; This's their last fight, but its important for people and viewer's & readers to understand the important context behind this duel. Normally Vijaya Dhanush (other word for "Bow") is not a relevant factor if you read Mahabharat but since this TV SERIES has overrated the significance, qualities and power of Vijay Bow it does matter here.
So Karna had a unfair advantage while Arjuna did not, because though arjun call's his bow the Gandiva, at the end of the day u can see it's design is entirely the same, it never changed ever since Rang Bhoomi. Just look carefully to see the details.
Image - is of Arjun from Rang Bhoomi, then Swayamvara, next Virat Yudh after that it's day 14.
Therefore it's been proven that Arjun did not change his bow, he was not using "Gandiva" instead he was utilizing a ordinary bow even on day 17.
=
The fight in itself.
Brief synposis - in the duel's early portion all Karna did was cut arrows fired by Arjuna nothing else was done. After that segment was over Krishna drove the chariot away leaving the fight uninterrupted but Sahadev/Nakul then challenged Karna (who one-shot's both of them). Arjuna is made to bleed cause his head hits the pole of his chariot.
It happened cause one rock was beneath a wheel of the chariot he was on as either Krishna was driving the horses too quick or the chariot was not really divine as it tripped over a rock. Anyways arjuna was wounded due to that rock not cause of an attack made by Karna.

When something even remotely similar occurred involving karna's chariot what happened?
[gif]
He did not lose blood but he did fall from a greater distance compared to Arjuna, so its an embarassment.
=
Part's where Arjuna overpowered or wounded Karna can be seen below.
{Gif}
{Even karna's naag astra was use-less here}
Here Arjun is able to outperform Karna even when karna has vijay dhanush in his handle.

Point - Karna (Gautam-Rode) praises Arjun during the 22nd minute (of this episode). He said "today its the 1st time i am seeing a archer fight from the opposite direction where the chariot is moving." But arjun did not ever praise Karna during a single moment of this battle yet.
[the 3rd time Arjuna overpowered him]
Despite having the vijaya bow a plot armored main character like Karna isn't even able to stop this arrow of a weakened, injured Arjun.

Then once he is bereft of that very same vijaya bow this happened.
(giF)
Why this count's as a Anti-Feat for Gautam's Karna (name of actor) is because he was not able to stop the arrow. Compare it to how on day 12 Abhimanyu caught one arrow of Karna in the air itself.
{Gif}
So if a depowered, inexperienced 13 year old (in this show he is not a sixteen year old male or a 33 year old adult) kid could do it their is no reason for a plot armored, main character (gautam rode as 'Karna') to fail in this right?

Regardless Karna does wound arjuna at least twice, but since he had vijaya bow this battle can be discounted, or another excuse can be made that Krishna never let the fight happen for longer than a few seconds (he kept steering Arjuna's chariot away). So the only battles that should count are the 14th day, Swayamvara Parva and Rang Bhoomi (though karna had his kavach kundal their).
=
ENDING;
Karna's worse moments in the TV serial (besides when he was a teenager/Shona's death) would be a group of malnourished poor citizens of Anga Desh defeating him when he had the kavacha kundala.
[gif 1A]
[gif 1B]
Arjuna's worst moment would be losing to Malini (the female yakshini) during van parva (episode 155 or 156) still overall Arjuna is handled better as a warrior in this tv series than karna is.

I think it's obvious whats more embarassing. I'd rather lose to a female wizard (Malini) or fail to protect women from robber's (even though Duryodhan's daughter was saved by Arjun & the dacoit's/robbers failed to injure/touch Arjuna) than lose to what Karna lost against.

Why StarPlus Mahabharat (SPM) sucks part 6.

=
Intro - Much like before this post is also not as long as i originally intended it to be it was my desire to reach at least episode 60 but i miserably failed, still i got a decent amount in here so i will share it. I did make it only to episode 52 but the amount of analysis is greater in terms of quality rather than quantity. So its a worthwhile post to read. Especially for anyone that dislikes Star Plus Mahabharat.
=
48th Episode.
In this episode Sakuni comes to Hastinapore and tells Bhishma he made this dice out of the ashes of his father.
But it clearly is false as in the former episode (number 47) he was carving the piece of a bone to forge a dice out of it.
{proof}
Now the time skip is officially over so Drona makes his entry, he looks like this.
Notice something? He has not aged.
[Image.]

How Drona is portraid in the "Adi Parvatext;
"Drona accompanied by his son, dressed in white (attire), with a white sacred thread, white locks, white beard, white garlands, and white sandal-paste rubbed over his body, entered the lists. It seemed as if the Moon himself accompanied by the planet Mars appeared in an unclouded sky."
He's supposed to have white hair.
This's shown better in Ramanandan Sagar's "Sri Krishna" tv series.
[Another image.]
=
Episode 48 (part 2):
In the 3 minute 50 second mark of this episode Bhishma said their's a tradition that after a prince gains education in gurukool then they demonstrate their art and knowledge infront of multiple guest's and citizens of the nation/kingdom. The REASON THIS'S A MISTAKE is that we never saw this tradition happen in former episodes of the tv serial. Like whenever Bhishma, Pandu, Dhritrashtra finished their education, or even Vichitravirya. So Bhishma saying this line was just another inconsistency and error in this rubbish garbage tv serial.

- An error is done by the same Bhishma who is overrated in this TV serial, the writing team decided to make Bhishma accidentally call Sakuni a prince of gandhar instead of its king, how could the student of parshuram, the most overrated clown & namard of this epic make such a mistake?

Another issue is that starplus's writers and editors and director's (whoever wrote the script) are trying to make it seem as if Sakuni was the one who made a decision for why their should be a tournament for deciding the worthiness of any potential heir to the throne (aka "Yoovraajh").

But in Kmg Mahabharat Sakuni was not involved;
{Quote}
"O best of Kuru kings, thy children have completed their education. With thy permission, O king, let them now show their proficiency."
{End}

It was Drona who made the suggestion to Dhritrashtra (who accepted it) & Vidur helped him (Drona) make arrangements for this tournament.

Quote:
"Vidura, giving the necessary assurance to the king, went out to do what he was bid. And Drona endued with great wisdom, then measured out a piece of land that was void of trees and thickets and furnished with wells and springs. And upon the spot of land so measured out, Drona, that first of eloquent men, selecting a lunar day when the star ascendant was auspicious, offered up sacrifice unto the gods in the presence of the citizens assembled by proclamation to witness the same."
[End]

Another issue is that Sakuni told Purochan that he is a very small man (in ranking/status not famous or popular) so thats the reason Bhishma won't have any suspicion of him.

Yet in the actual Mahabharat book Purochan was a famous architect on par with May Danav (the father of Mandodari, a man that defeated hanumana in kishkinda kandam of Ramayana) & Vishwakarma (the one who made vijaya dhanush of karna, indra, parshuram, rukmi etc).
So he cant be a random irrelevant person. According to Madhvacharya's script Purochan was the incarnation of Prahasth (general to Ravan's army). In Mahabharat of Vyasa/Souti he was a peer to Vishwakarma in architecture.

(a image of purochan);
Final issue is that dhritrashtra [once the family walked into the tournament region] claimed their were multiple kings/prince's that arrived as guests to witness the fruits of training {whichever skills that'd been acquired} of the kouravas & pandava's. But after everybody took up their positions (seated-position's) then their was not a single foreign king (any prince or king not belonging to Hastinapore) in that zone (are in which people sit down to watch the tournament.)
=
49th episode.
Issue A - Dushala told Gandhari that Nakul used to always make her laugh when they were kids, but the issue with this is that she was never seen interacting with or talking with nakul at all in any earlier episode. So it's a dumb issue created by the writing team of this TV SHOW. And it is also very disgusting and biased to make it look like the women in the kourav side never disliked or hated any pandava's. Just cause Dushala's a female she is being portayed in a positive light as someone who doesn't hate the pandavas.

Issue B - ? the law of the tournament had been established earlier that no competitor/participant is allowed to shed anyone's blood. So it is unfair as Nakula used twin sword's a sword clearly is meant to either sever a limb or shed blood, so nakula has to be more careful otherwise he would break a rule, duryodhan on the other hand has it abit easier as his mace doesnt shed blood.
{Image}

Issue C; the fight between Nakul/Duryodhan lasted only a minute and ten second's that is too short, it should be ideally at least 2 minutes at most 3 minutes especially when Dhritrashtra said that talk of the prowess of the participants in this tournament would be legendary and immortalized as people will talk about the tournament till the end of time.

ISSUE D; Sahadev 1st comes into the tv series with longer hair, yet in most photos found of him (Lavanya Bharadwaj the actor playing Sahadev) on the internet he is found with shorter hair their wasn't a point in showing him with long hair first.
[ImagE]
Issue E: The next issue i have is that the fight between them (duryodhan & sahadeva) was only 75 seconds long (1 minute and 15 second's). That is clearly not long enough.

ISSUE F - Sahadev telling Nakul that Ashwathama gave them the name "Pandavas" is clearly not a good thing. If the writing team desired to give importance to the sons of Madri then they could have done it a better way (even if its just fan-made). The name Pandava is most likely a combination of the word "Pandu" & "Yadava" it is more logical to do that. Or they (script-writer's) could've just chosen to copy Sarala Das's Mahabharata re-telling (where the pandavas kill a demon named Pandava right before their father Pandu dies) as a explanation for why they gained the name.

Issue G - Bhishma (during the 15 minute marking of this episode) said that he is helpless before Dhritrashtra's order. So my issue begin's with this, as in later episodes he is shown rebelling against Dhritrashtra, resisting his orders even threatening to have him removed from the throne too.

Also in a former episode Bhishma was the one who used force (by threats) to make Dhritrashtra send Duryodhan to the gurukool of Drona. So Bhishma's line/character fails to make any sense.

Issue H - The fight between Yudhisther & Suyodhana has a major flaw, and that's cause Duryodhan (suyodhana) attacked him under his belt with a mace. Thats against rules of fair play.
{gif}
So then why would it be a issue in this TV SERIAL for Bheem to attack Duryodhan below the belt when he kills him in Kurukshetra? The dharam sankat does not exist cause their is no logic in star plus.

Issue I - when Duryodhan asked a sarcastic question to Yudhisthir (who did your CHARITRA HEEN mother gain you from?) then his word's had been heard by ear's of Kunti, Vidur & Bhishma despite being from such a far distance away from him, so if they could hear that then why did none of them hear what Sakuni told Duryodhan earlier about instigating Yudhisthir?

I guess i will give Starplus a brownie point (praise/credit) cause their only good fight was Duryodhan vs Yudhisther nothing else, but 99 percent of star plus is bad & a disgusting series.
=
50th episode;
Issue 1 - In the 2;59 mark (for those who can't understand English it mean's 2 minutes & fifty nine seconds) Ashwathama informed his father Drona that Arjun will be unable to make it to the tournament. This is an issue because it's an indirect mention of the plan to make Arjun get buried to death by debris or whatever wooden material that bridge/roof has been made out of. So Drona knows that his son Ashwathama was involved in a crime.
Yet he did not punish ashwathama. Even if he know's that arjun will survive still its basically foul play, and the organizer of the tournament (Drona) is letting it happen as in this tv serial though the idea was given by Sakuni still the challenges (for all competitors) were made by Drona.

Issue 2 - Raj Kumari Duhsala praising Bheem & taking his side (like a sports team fan) made no sense, it was a stupid change in the script of this tv serial.

Issue 3: The actor that plays Bheem also looks disgusting, repugnant & like a fat slob. I cant stand seeing him on screen.
Issue 4; It's shown here that Duryodhan is aiming for places in Bheem's body which are below his belt. So its another breach of rules.
(Gif.)

Issue 5: When Duryodhan was being choked by Bheem he could have kneed him or hit him with a mace to his nutsack (area termed as "BALLZ" by humans in western countries in the 21st century).
(Photo.)
Issue 6 - Ashwathama's moment is taken away & given to my man Drona instead, i like drona's character but this was supposed to be something that Ashwathama does, so it is unfair and wrong for Star Bharath to do this.
[Image.]
=
51st episode:
Issue 1 - in the former episode Duryodhan told Sakuni that his mace would be useless against arrows of Arjuna, yet in this current episode he is able to deflect arjuna arrow's with a mace.
[Gif]
Issue 2 - Dushala in a recent episode wanted to see her brother Suyodhana's ego/arrogance get hurt, but now that he finally is beaten by Arjuna then theirs no look of happiness or gratification on the face of Dushalah.
Starplus always fail's to stay consistent.

Issue C - the third one is that neither Arjuna/Karna look the way they should.
[Proof Karna]
Even the hairstyle of teen Karna does not match with adult karna, why would adult karna have a silver piece of jewelry when teenage Karna had golden jewelry instead?
[Proof Arjuna]
Did arjun use a skin-bleach?
Cause he was very dark skinned as a kid.
=
ISSUE D - At the 12;44 minute mark of this episode when Guru Drona was defending Karna from harassment then Karna started yelling at him and incriminating himself admitting his caste.

Issue E - Another annoying attempt was made to increase Bhishma's relevance & importance by spreading another fake story like Adhirath being Bhishma's chariot driver.

Issue F - Karna told Kripa that he is proud that his father (Adhirath) served Bhishma loyally. But this's a problem cause in this TV serial Bhishma supported the caste system, so this means karna is proud that his father was a slave to a high caste man who discriminates against other people based on their birth.
=
52nd episode.
Issue 1: Duryodhan mentioned that Bhishma conquered Anga in the past but if you follow kmg mahabharat's Sambhava Parva then its mentioned the conqueror of Anga was actually Pandu not Bhishma.
So if anything he should have taken the name of Pandu in place of the overrated Bhishma. Sadly the tv series is biased in favor of that cowardly namard.
Issue 2: During the 2 minute 52 second mark of this episode the writing team made the words "you do not have the right to even a needle's point of land" come from Bhishma's mouth, trying to fore shadow that Duryodhan would say something similar to that in the future (when he turns the peace proposal down at Udyog Parva).

It would have been better if Yuyutsu or Vikarna or even Sahadev said that instead. Or maybe one of the guests (un seen foreign kings & prince's). But the script writer's wanted to give Bhishma this attention instead which's dissapointing.

Issue 3; an extremely unrealistic scene occurred before the 8 minute mark and after the 5 minute mark, while karna is making a speech & having a conversation/moment with duryodhan then everyone including Arjuna, Bhishma, Drona, Vidur, Kripa are silent, they stood back like spectator's watching.

Issue 4 - their was no real technique/combat form involved in the duel between both arjun & karna in this episode's highlight fight.

Issue 5 - In the 12 minute mark of the video/episode Dhritrashtra claims that only a few moments are left until sun set but the obvious problem with this is that Dhritrashtra despite being a king & educated warrior is blind.
He can not tell whether it is day time or night time or even morning without a servant informing him, and so far the only servant he spoke to in the tournament (Sanjaya/Bhishma) never mentioned even one thing related to the time of the day.
Issue 6; If Karna has the ability to make a solar barrier or energetic sphere of protection around himself then what is the point of him needing the kavacha to defend his body and skin?

Issue 7: Also looking on the screenshot carefully u can all see that their were SOLDIER'S of Hastinapore stationed near Karna's vicinity. Meaning they were in the range of arrows that Arjuna fired, if karna dodged then a arrow might've touched a innocent soldier too.

Issue 8 - rather than taking the time & wasting budget on special effect's to make the armor disappear & then re appear later on it would have been better if Star-Bharat took notes from Ekta Kapoor's Mahabharat instead.
Cause Hiten Tejwani's karna had his armor on even when he slept, basically 24 hours. It never disappears until the trade deal with Indra.

Issue 9 - is for Kunti's maiden (the one who accompanied her like a sakhee) from Kuntibhoj's land to call her a princess instead of a queen made no sense. And its a wonder why this maiden friend of Kunti does not have a life, husband or family of her own to look after. Instead she follows Kunti for no reason, pretty disgusting.
