About this listen

 Shikhandi is a fascinating character in the Mahabharata, known for their unique journey of self-discovery and transformation. Originally born as Amba, they are reborn as Shikhandi with the sole purpose of seeking revenge against Bhishma. Shikhandi's struggle with gender identity and societal acceptance challenges traditional norms, highlighting themes of acceptance and equality. Their pivotal role in Bhishma's downfall during the Kurukshetra war showcases their bravery and determination, ultimately contributing to the Pandavas' victory. Shikhandi's story serves as a powerful narrative of resilience and the triumph of justice over adversity.©2025 ©2025 T.V. TODAY NETWORK LIMITED (P) 2025 T.V. TODAY NETWORK LIMITED (P)2025 ©2025 T.V.
