Kunti pov
It's been 1 years I have seen my son Karna. I know he is doing well and I am sure radha will take good care of him. Last time I have seen him when he is just 2and half years world and a very mischievous one I am sure radha must be having a very hard time in handling him. 3 months back I have married to maharaj pandu of hastinapur, right immediately after marriage he had gone to war with Madra Raj and returned with his second wife madri, sure I am dissapointed but with time I am fine and my relation with madri is very strong, still I am guilty because I am hiding my biggest truth to them, what may be the circumstances I am not going to hide about my suryaputra from them I eagerly waiting for arya and madri, they have gone to hunting in the forest near hastinapur as soon as they arrived I am sure going to reveal the truth.
As I was lost in my thoughts I hear that tatshree has asked for my presence in the court
Third person pov
As soon as kunti entered the court she sees maharaj pandu and Rani madri already present there.
       Everyone is anxious why pandu has requested everyone to the court , as everyone is present pandu declared he is going to vanvaas along with Kunti and madri,then pandu narrates while hunting in a forest along with madri he saw a couple of deer and shot arrows at them ;only to find out that it was Rishi Kindama and his wife who were making love in the form of deer.Sage Kindama then cursed Pandu, the curse being that was he to approach his wives with the intent of making love ,he would die.King pandu was very remorseful for his action and urged the sage Kindama to forgive him.Then sage Kindama replied that the curse cannot be lift but he can give solution to break the curse that is he along with his wives should go for 14 years of vanvaas ,when the vanvaas is completed then the curse will be totally broken.replied sage Kindama and leaves his last breath.Bheeshma,Vidur,Dhritarashtra,rajmata Satyavati,Ambika,ambaalika,krupachaarya everyone present in the court were upset with the things happening and the only happiest one is sakuni.Upset and seeking to repent his action,pandu handed his kingdom to Dhritarashtra went for exile in forest,to live as an ascetic with his wives.                                                                                                                                                     Kunti pov                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           It's been 3months we started live as ascetics and today we receive news from Hastinapur that Gandhari jiji is pregnant. We are so happy with the news and I still didn't get the chance to tell arya about my suryaputra karn my first born . After hearing about Gandhari jiji pregnancy I am determined to tell the truth to the arya whatever may be the circumstances I'm going to face it ,hope arya and madri don't hate me . Arya just now returned from collecting the wood and he looked extremely happy about jiji's pregnancy but he was some what disturbed . I need tell the truth I went near arya ,arya looked upon and asked what happened Kunti ,upon listening his voice even came near us I took a deep breath and said I am going to tell you a truth of my life that you should know. I was 16 when I got a special boon from Rishi Durvasa,after serving him faithfully during his stay at kuntibhoj. Rishi Durvasa blessed me with a divine mantra that would invoke any god of my choice and he would bless me with a child.As soon as I finished saying this I saw the happiness in both arya and madri, arya was going to say something but I stopped him and said please listen to me completely arya , one day me being curious wanted to test the mantra and invoked the surya dev and surya dev blessed me with a child and said that child will be with his divine nature , specially with his kavach and kundals and he also blessed the child that he would have his radiance.I was shocked , I asked surya dev to take my son with him as I'm unmarried ,suryadev said that he cannot take the kid and he disappeared. I am afraid that society would blame me and my father as I am unmarried, I thought to abondon the kid but some part of me said that I should keep the child atlast I decided that I should keep the child so I kept him with me for 6 months then I gave karna to my friend who is in Hastinapur . I finished saying but arya and madri didn't even speak a word,I sort of afraid but I am ready to take any punishment given by them.                                                                                                                                                             Pandu pov                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         It's been 3 months since we came to live as ascetics Kunti and madri never complained about the life style . Today we recieve a good news from Hastinapur that babhishree is pregnant I am so happy ,I know Babai Sree received a boon from Mahadev to give birth to 100sons but may be I can never be a father I know even the sons born to my brother are my sons but I want some one to call me pitashree ,Kunti and madri never complained about these.Today Kunti is very anxious like she is trying to tell something.When Kunti said about the boon she received by Rishi Durvasa I was very happy and about to say but Kunti said there is more ,then she said how she gave birth to suryaputra. When Kunti said she thought to abondon the kid I was very angry how can she just abondon the new born ,I know the society always blame women for whatever happened but I can understand her dilema also as she was just a teenage girl ,later she said that she can't abondon the kid gave the kid to one of her friends who were childless to raise him I am very happy when Kunti said these that my son is in Hastinapur yes my son panduputra karna. I don't mind when karna was born but to me he was a boon from a god . I am very curious to meet him as he is already 3 years old .                                           Third person pov.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              Kunti was waiting for the pandu's and madri reaction . Then pandu suddenly mentioned he want to meet his son . Kunti was very happy that pandu accepted the child . Then Kunti said that karna is with Radha and adhirath bhaisaab and adhirath bhaisaab is charioteer to Pitamah. There is no bound to happiness for pandu and madri as they are eagerly waiting to meet karna . Kunti immediately wrote a letter to Radha telling the situation and tell them to meet them along with karna. Next day along with karna Radha and adhirath came to visit maharaj pandu and Rani Kunti and madri. They were happy for karna as he will grow up with his own parents but was sad for themselves as they were no more parents to karna and will miss him. Maharaj pandu was happiest among the all after seeing his son and was spellbound by the beauty of the kid and his manners and his matureness. Madri along with Kunti and pandu pampered karna the most.when Radha mentioned that they are leaving karna with them in heavy voice then maharaj pandu and Kunti mentioned that they need to talk to them. Then maharaj pandu mentioned that they take karna with as karna is the future heir to Hastinapur he will know the life of common people but whenever possible send karna to them for some days . When Radha and adhirath listened this they were very thank ful to them and always be indebted to them ,to this Kunti mentioned that when she was in dire need of help they accepted karna as their son without any hesitation and raise him as their own son and they cannot take their kid away from them then maharaj pandu mentioned that karna is adhirathnandan as well as panduputr and a kuruvanshi. By this decision maharaj pandu , Kunti  and madri earned the a place in karnas heart and he finally accepted them as his parents .
