When Shantanu falls in love with Ganga, she agrees to marry him under one strict condition: he must never question or stop her in anything she does.
Shantanu watches in silent agony as Ganga drowns their newborns until his patience shatters. Years later, Shatanu comes across a fierce, noble warrior and a wise boatwoman.
Shantanu's health begins to fade as he yearns for Satyavathi. Concerned, Devavrata visits the Nishad king with Shantanu's marriage proposal but receives a condition in return.
Hastinapur mourns death of another king. When Vichitravirya is crowned, the time comes for him to marry. Meanwhile, the king of Kashi declares the swayamvar of his daughters.
Overjoyed when Bhishma grants her freedom, Amba returns to King Salva. However, the monarch rejects her. Furious, Amba faces Bhishma and demands justice, vowing harsh consequences.
After Vichitravirya dies, Satyavati asks Bhishma to break his lifelong vow ans ascend the throne. When Hastinapur falls into bad times, Satyavati seeks the help of Sage Vyas.
The Niyoga leads to the birth of the blind Dhritarashtra, the weak Pandu and the wise Vidur. Later, the three princes leave for Kripacharya's gurukul where their journey begins.
After their gurukul training, the three princes return to Hastinapur where Pandu is declared king. This shatters Dhirtarashtra, prompting Bhishma and Satyavati to find him a bride.
Gandhari's parents worry when Bhishma informs them that she is to wed the blind prince Dhritarashtra and not Pandu. Overhearing them, the princess quietly accepts fate.
Shakuni condemns Gandhari's marriage to a blind prince, yet he vows his lifelong support to his sister. Later, the sight of blindfolded bride shocks Hastinapur's royal family.
After Dhritarashtra and Gandhari's wedding, Shakuni opts to stay in Hastinapur. Bhishma proposes Pandu's marriage to Princess Kunti, but she has a secret from her past.
Kunti accepts King Pandu as her husband and is welcomed warmly in Hastinapur. She feels shattered when Pandu returns from the Digvijay expedition with Madri as his second wife.
Kunti accepts Pandu and Madri's reunion. Pandu's Digvijay Yatra is successful. Shakuni's manipulation fuels Dhiritarashtra's insecurity. Cracks begin to form within the royal family.
Pandu leaves Hastinapur for Dhritharastra. In the forest, he encounters Sage Kindam and his wife. Meanwhile, Gandhari receives boon of motherhood.
Dhritharashtra reluctantly agrees to rule Hastinapur. Sage Kindam's curse stops Pandu from fathering children, and Gandhari's delayed pregnancy creates anxiety in the palace.
After two years, Gandhari gives birth to a lifeless mass. Sage Ved Vyasa explains it's a divine process, splitting the mass into one hundred parts to mature over time.
