The show, completely created with the help of AI, has been widely trolled online after viewers spotted a noticeable AI mistake that turned hilarious on twitter. In one scene set in ancient Hastinapur, fans were shocked to see modern furniture appear on screen, something that clearly didn’t belong in a mythological era.
Modern blunder in ancient Hastinapur
The first episode dropped on October 25, 2025, followed by the second on November 1. But it was a scene from the first episode that went viral. The scene shows Goddess Ganga holding a child in a palace room. While most of the background, the bed, curtains and decor looked appropriate for the time period, a modern bedside table stood out instantly and left viewers amused.
