Hi Guys!!

Ever since Mahabharata's re-run started, i have been greatly influenced by the works done by all the people involved be it on the scenes or behind the screens. When it was originally aired back in 2013-14, I was merely a kid even though a curious one, but couldn't appreciate the work done by all the artists and background crew to a greater extent. But now, on the brisk of adulthood i could clearly see Why Mahabharata is rightly said as one of the greatest epic to have ever being written with so many lessons to learn.  If truly followed it is way of living a dignified yet so simple life. Its high time we as Indians shall learn to embrace our own culture for its one that will be reason behind your success in all spheres of life. A life Worth Living!!

Coming Back to the story and plot that i have decided to brew even though being fiction, somewhere back in mind it compels me to put it forward in front of the World. Truthfully speaking i have always felt injustice that both Arjuna and Drapaudi faced as quite disturbing and my hands are aching to correct that even though its impossible. No love has been so pure than love shared between Arjuna and Drapaudi which even though forbidden but was clearly visible in the history books.

Ofcourse, a very big shout-out to both Shaheer Sheikh and Pooja Sharma for their excellent presentation of their roles in the Series. Their chemistry was point blank explosive without even their interaction, they set off the nerves on fire with just their eye contacts which spoke volumes more than any words could even hope to imagine. Another purpose of this story is to buildup on their sizzling chemistry by creating various situations.

I have always believed that Arjuna and Draupadi belong together, and that's what will happen as the story progresses

I have always believed that Arjuna and Draupadi belong together, and that's what will happen as the story progresses. One of my biggest disappointments in the series was Arjuna not standing for Draupadi after she is staked and thereafter dragged into the court. 

In my view,  Arjuna failed immensely as a husband and a lover that day. True, he upheld his "dharma" by not going against his eldest brother, but didn't it tie up his hands that stopped him from helping Draupadi. As Lord Krishna has said "Dharma is not supposed to bound you to something, it is the way of liberating a person of all his burdens" 

So, in this story, I will try my best to rectify this mistake by venturing in the world of Fantasy.

Here a lot of characters will be shown quite differently so it must be noted that I mean no disrespect to history or any of the characters. That being said Updates will not be as per any pre-defined schedule.

Summary of the story-

Sacrifice is said to be the purest form of love, if you love someone that you need to let him go. But What if someone "Sacrifices to Love"? Can this love be called Pure?Arjuna, Warrior Prince, one of the greatest warriors to have ever set foot on this planet,Son of Indra, calm as Water. Drapaudi,The Fiery Princess, Epitome of feminism in that era,strong and independent just like fire.History has been the silent witness to their forbidden love that resonates loudly for all those who want to listen.What If Arjuna had not remained silent when his soulmate, his eternal love was being dragged into the Dyut Sabha, What if he raised his voice and broke all oaths for her,Now and Always, Will the world witness their long awaited union, a fusion of fire and water to perhaps create something big!!!
