However, not much is known about the character's life after the war. The show traced the life of all the heroes and villains of the story, after the war. All the person, good and evil, were confronted in the court of Chitragupta. Each and everyone were given a chance to defend their actions while the others threw allegations against them. In the end, Chitragupta will give his verdict on who he thinks is responsible for the destructive war and accordingly the person will either be sent to hell or heaven.
In every episode, one of the characters would take the centre stage and face the allegations and questions from the others. In the very first episode, Draupadi was summoned for the questioning. Actress Kashmira Irani portrayed the role of Draupadi. Some of the people alleged that it was because of her that the war happened. In reply, Draupadi explained her reasons for acting the way she did. By the end of the show, Chitragupta gave his verdict on Draupadi's deeds. In one of the episodes, the writer of the Mahabharata story, Ved Vyas himself, was also summoned to the court. All the characters quizzed him on why he wrote the story the way he did and also, why he etched almost all the characters with both good and bad qualities.
