Star Plus' Mahabharat to see the birth of Yudhishtra and Duryodhana

Swastik Productions’ Mahabharat (Swastik Productions), on Star Plus, has been garnering positive responses with the dramatic portrayal of the epic saga. Now, the mythological tale that encompasses love, hatred, jealousy and politics, is all set to see the birth of the Pandavas and the Kauravas. As already seen, Pandu (Arun Rana) killed the sage Kindama accidently and this guilt made him quit the throne and live a life of a hermit with his two wives. With the kingdom in need of a king, Satyavati (Sayantani Ghosh) and Bhisma (Aarav Chowdhary) will crown Dhritrashtra (Anoop Singh Thakur) as the king even though he himself will not be pleased with the decision of Pandu. Soon happiness will shower in the kingdom of Hastinapur with the news of Gandhari (Riya Deepsi) expecting her first child. But she will pass her pregnancy period making the family worried. Sage Gemini, who will be called to solve the problem, will suggest that if Gandhari’s baby takes too long to come out of the womb, it will pose a threat to the kingdom. On the other hand, Kunti (Shafaq Naaz) will tell Pandu about her boon of evoking Gods to get children. Pandu will agree to this and Lord Dharamraj will be called by Kunti and the eldest Pandav- Yudhishtra will be born. As a source informs us, “When the news reaches the kingdom, Dhritrashtra will get furious that Pandu provided Hastinapur with the first prince. And in a moment of rage, he will consummate with a maid Sukhada. In her frustration, Gandhari will hit her own stomach and go into labour. But unfortunately all she will give birth to will be a mass of flesh.” But soon the Vyasa who had given Gandhari the boon of hundred sons will bless the flesh and put it in hundreds pot out of which the first Kaurav, Duryodhana will be born calling for celebration across the whole kingdom. We tried contacting Anoop and Arun but they remained unreachable. So finally with the birth of the next generation rulers, gear up to taste the real flavour of Mahabharat.
