 Users are also concerned and do not want the epic to be distorted. A user wrote, "On one side, people like Ami Ganatra are controlling the damage, debunking myths, revealing the truth about whitewashed characters, and giving proper recognition to the noble characters like Yudhishthir, Arjun, Draupadi, and Vidur. On the other hand, you have TV series and movies endowed with lots of fake stories. Don't want another distortion of our Epic."
