After the decision to divide Hastinapur, Bhishma declares he will leave with Yudhishthir, choosing dharma over blood. But Shakuni, ever the manipulator, warns Dhritarashtra — “If Bhishma leaves, the heart of Hastinapur goes with him.”
In a desperate move, Dhritarashtra breaks down emotionally, begging Bhishma to stay and promise loyalty to the Kauravas, for the sake of peace and unity.
Bhishma stands torn — between loyalty to the throne… and loyalty to truth.
Will the guardian of Hastinapur bend? Or walk away from the shadows?
