This story does not mean to hurt or offend anyone's personal or religious beliefs. This is just a fictional story based on the author's imagination.

None of the characters from the original Mahabharat belongs to me! The characters that are created by me along with the plot are the only things that I own! Copying and resubmitting this work in any form is not appreciated if seen doing so then strict measures will be taken.

This is not real Mahabharata!

IMP POINTS:

All characters of Mahabharta were grey and in this book I will also show every character in grey from Karna to Bhishma. This story has a twist of politics, drama, music, dance, love, passion, enthusiasm, caring and a twist which we don't know.

Pictures used in Cover and Aesthetics are taken from Internet (Pinterest).

I have used some Sanskrit words, so please read the Glossary qt the end of this Premise.
