Recap..........
Dushala, who inherited her parents' fearlessness, answered," Whatever, they are our cousins and we must welcome them. We should welcome family and guests adequately, which is something you and your siblings won't do. Let me welcome them."
Recap ended ..........
Bhishma who was seeing the welcoming commotion of the cousins from the start heard what Dushala had to say and thought- "Pitashri (referring to Shantanu) used to say right- Daughters are gems. Maybe, if the gods above have their mercy on this kingdom, Dushala will unite the cousin brothers, the princess of Hastinapur."
Dushala went forward and looked at her cousins. Of course, she knew, who was who, Pandu told her all about them via letters.
Dushala went to the most mature-looking cousin
She touched his feet devotedly, with an affectionate smile.
Dushala said, "Greetings, Bhrata Yudhishthira."
Yudhishthira smiled at her and asked how did she know.
Dushala said that she talked to Pandu via letters and was told about each of them.
Dushala similarly guessed the other 4 brothers.
She led them to their separate rooms so they could get freshened up.
She then went to her bua Kunti.
She got to know about her cousins more.
Yudhishthira- the son of Dharmraj and Kunti, Lord Yama- god of death. Kind, very polite n sweet, understanding, dharm gyani filled with brotherly affection.
Bheem-Vayuputra-god of winds' son. Kunti's son, Very strong, can win any food competition, also bubbling with brotherly affection
Arjun - Indradevputra-king of the gods' son Kunti's son, good in archery, very understanding, very supportive and affectionate
Nakul- one of the sons of Madri and Ashwinikumars-two gods of medicine, the other being Sahedev. Elder twin. loves to irritate the stomach out of Bheem. Lively, and humourous.
Sahedev- the other son of Madri and Ashminikumars. Younger twin. Can predict the future.
(Meanwhile, her 105 brothers headed for lunch, the scene which is shown about the food in Hotstar, takes place at lunch)
In the evening time, Dushala again meets her cousins, she is happy that she got 5 brothers to fill the void of not having even 1 affectionate brother.
But something about them worried her, when they saw her they began to act strange. Dushala pulled them into her room and asked what was wrong. She knew her brothers were a bit tough to manage and that they did something to their cousins.
They hesitantly told her about the incident. She gave them food to eat.
She then confronted her brothers about it, but as usual, her bros didn't even listen to her.
At dinner time, the 100 brothers only came to the food hall.
Dushala and the other 5 had a feast in Dushala's gigantic room.
Dushala discovered 5 affectionate, kind, understanding, humorous, patient brothers while they found a loving,caring, understanding sister who also always will have their back.
