Since you all have various doubts about this book and me, I'm here to clear them all.

Is Ela my real name?
No. It is not. Its my pen name as I've mentioned in my bio

Am I making Karn as the main character of Jaya?
Well no, all characters of Mahabharat are special and grey characters. Just like kanha answered Dhriti that they represent the yin-yang, so I am not justifying their actions. But showing their good side

Who is Akriti or by whose anshas is she born?
Akriti is the daughter of Vishnu- laxmi and she has the anshas of all tridev, deviya except Brahma. If you noticed then in that chapter I have mentioned that Brahma, who is the creator created her with the anshas of all other tridevs and trideviya. So she is also known as Shankara- Mohini. As the famous duo are her fathers but Mohini, Vishnu avatar is feminine so she is known thus.

Will Arunika forget Rohit ?
Maybe or maybe not

Whom is Dhriti destined to be with?
If I answer this then what would be the reason left for you to read it as you will know the entire concept.

Will I ever reveal my real name?
Maybe. I may reveal it by the end of this book

My age?
I'm a mere 16 year old teenager. Shocked right? I know

Science or Commerce?
Well I have chosen Science - medical science with maths.

How do I manage my time to write?
Well I don't. Most of the times my updates are late as you may have noticed and also it's really difficult managing both and also my art page. Yes I have a art page in instagram for my sketches and mandala. I'm not that good but I am also not bad in it. I still have a long way to learn

Did Dhriti study the vedas as she clarified about caste system during kala pradharshan on basis of veda?
No Dhriti did not read Vedas but has knowledge about it. Clarification about caste system was from what she believes would have actually been written in vedas

How did Dhriti manage to give a strong fight to Nakul?
Dhriti/Arunika knew sword fighting but is no expert in it and also Nakul may have been trained well in Sparring but he still lacks experience as they all are freshly out of Gurukul. He also seemed to lack a bit of self confidence after being defeated during Kala pradharshan and did not wish to raise weapons against his jyesta. So he was easy to spar with.

Why are scenes of Dhriti- kuru vanshi bonding a bit less?
Well Dhriti grew up loving her foster parents and elder brother and it's a bit difficult for her to accept all this suddenly. Also I'll try increasing them.

Do I consider Gandhar - raj completely evil?
No. I do not. As I've always believed evil is created and not born even the evil side of Shakuni developed after witnessing his priya behen suffering this much.

Why did Dhriti in her kaliyug days kept denying her love towards Rohit and accepted it only during her last moments there?
Due to some circumstances, Dhriti had stopped believing in love and had also isolated herself. She was brought back to her cheery self by her friends and Rohit but she could not have the complete faith in it completely after the incident. So she kept pushing her feelings aside and since Rohit knew everything he too was waiting for her. She realised her love during car crash because usually people tend to realise a lot only when they are at their end.

What happened in the movie in the beginning chapter after the goon questioned women power?
Well nothing much but he was kicked in his ass by those female cops and also was given third and fourth degree treatment in prison by some female cops so that his ego is completely shattered.

Why was such a build- up given about the movie as if it was main lead but in actual it was a movie?
I was kinda at first planning to make Dhriti as a secret cop or something as I'm always fascinated by them but it didn't turn out good. Also I potray myself as Dhriti at times and my aim is to be a doctor so seeing her in that profession was much more easier for me to imagine her behaviour and character.

Who cursed Akriti and why and what was the curse ?
Well it will revealed in upcoming chapters as it is one of the major events.

You could always question me and I will answer truthfully if the answer is in the favour of Goodwill. I'll always be there to quench your thirst just kanha quenched Arunika's

With love
Ela 💖
