Mahabharat’s Draupadi ‘cheer haran’ episode leaves netizens hailing ‘Draupadi’ Roopa Ganguly and Shri Krishna aka Nitish Bharadwaj

New Delhi: The epic ‘Mahabharat’ has kept viewers glued to their television screens amid the lockdown to fight the deadly novel coronavirus. BR Chopra’s ‘Mahabharat’ is currently being re-telecast for the audiences on Doordarshan and remains the most-watched show, much like Ramanand Sagar’s ‘Ramayan’. 

Back in the days, there was no social media to give instant feedback to the makers and actors but now tings have changed. So, after the highly dramatic and emotionally heart-wrenching Draupadi Vastra-Haran (Cheer Haran) episode, Twitterati thronged the platform and hailed the performances of lead actors. 

Netizens lauded the mind-blowing act of Draupadi aka Roopa Ganguly, Shri Krishna aka Nitish Bharadwaj and other actors too. Check out the tweets:

Nobody except Krishna was there for Draupadi when she was screaming and crying for help. #Mahabharat

GOOSEBUMPS while watching Shri Krishna protecting Draupadi during Cheer Harana 
My blood boiled to see how everyone stood mute & did nothing to protect her dignity!
It was this Adharma everyone eventually paid for. One who can’t protect his wife doesn’t deserve one.#Mahabharat pic.twitter.com/yUKa2tzV5S

Shree Krishna was the only man who saved Draupadi Chirharan. Vidur and vikran(young brother of Duryodhan) was the other two men who tried to stop Chirharan. Rest all were Assholes.

Also, @TheRupali has nailed it. No one can play the role of Draupadi better than her. #Mahabharat pic.twitter.com/BFGjVUXHMr
