She is happy that she blinded herself thus saving herself from seeing the injustice meted out to her husband.. The ruthless uncaring world is not worthy of being adored by her… For the firsat time the coldness for Gandhari is Dhritarashtra is poised to melt but fate has something else in store..
A minister comes to narrate the proceedings in the court where Pandu finally ascended the throne after much persuasion saying he wold rule the kingdom as a legacy of his brother like Bharat did for Shri Ram…
Dhritarashtra is unmoved… he doesnot consider his younger brother capable of such noble thoughts…
With anger, frustration and hoplessness he blurts out the truth..He has been pushed to a life of darkness to live as a nobody.. His children thus cheated of a royal lineage… The Kuruclan would henceforth be glorified by Pandu and his sons… (Prophetic words that would ring true in the years to come)
The tears of Dhritrashtra as he falls to the ground dejected defeated splashes onto a soft pair of hands…
Gandhari with all her being wants to be the shoulder for her husband to lean on in thsi time of personal crisis… But a chandravanshi prince is able and strong to partake whatever bitterness life throws at him.. Overcoming his momentary weakness he pushes away Gandhari and walks away to wallow alone in his darkness which has nothing more than torturous misery…

Shakuni watches the proceedings at Hastinapur is forced silence… the plight of his sister troubles the devoted brother…He refuses to leave for Gandhar with his parents citing his inability to leave his sister in her wretched condition. He inflicts himself with a wound in his ankle to remind the treachery that was heaped on his sister. He promises to make Gandhari the empress of Hatinapur and till it materializes he vows not to leave Hastinapur or let the Kuru clan enjoy a moment of bliss and peace…
When a grave injustice plagues man his life centers around it..The need for justice clamours high…. But the path of justice is to make the aggressor realize and repent and reestablish the trust for justice in society in the heart of the victim.
When the focus shifts from this to concentrate in ensuring more hurt on the one who brought forth injustice, it no longer is the path of Dharma… The victim thus slowly walks the road to become the aggressor himself…
In Dhritarashtra’s chamber…
Shakuni enters to strike and poison the mind of an aggrieved Kuru prince.He addresses Dhritarashtra as maharaj and shows him a ray of hope to become the rightful king…
Dhritarashtra is smart enough to understand that Shakuni wants him to practice deceit for his own family…He declines to listen to his counsel…But Shakuni is clever enough to point out how his sister was the only who stood by his side at the lowest point in life.. And her companionship would ensure him with a strong and robust line of 100 sons .. Thus bringing him in the centre-stage of Hastinapur politics…
The young prince suddenly sees an opportunity and use for his previously shunned wife.
Precap:
Satyavati is worried about getting a worthy bride for Pandu who woul beget illustrious children to further the empire.. We catch a glimpse of Kunti hunting in the forest….
