Out of the many intriguing characters peopling the Mahabharata, Subhadra is like a shooting star, with a short presence that is nonetheless impactful and a joy to behold. Here I reimagine how this sweet, benevolent and gracious princess' life might have been like.

What could it have been like for Subhadra when she discovered the love of her life, Arjuna himself, was living incognito under her care for four months and revealed himself before her with a bang? How would she have felt? What reaction would she have given? Romance really isn't given a huge priority in the epic and the same applied to the profound workings of Subhadra's heart and mind. So I wanted to take on it in my own way and write the episode through her eyes.
