Is the story of manjulika true?

Answer 1

Yes it is..Manjulika is a Bengali dancer who came from a very poor family & was kidnapped from her country and was taken to what is now India..there she learned hindi and met Shashidhar they both knew how to dance & then slowly fell in love. One day manjulika was sold away in order to dance for the king. Because of her stunning beauty she was constantly forced to perform. On the night she was performing for the king(for the first time,the king was very impressed with manjulika's dancing singing and complexion..the king immediately fell in love with manjulika..after this the king offered her a room.In order to impress manjulika he sent his finest painter to paint a fine portrait of manjulika without her noticing. Manjulika who declined all the kings offers was heart broken and only loved Shashidhar who lived behind the mansion in which the king lived in. They both secretly confessed their love to eachother. Every night manjulika would dance Shashidhar would climb the window and secretly dance with her. The two would stay up all night and sing to each other. Then one day the king found out that Manjulika and Shashidhar love each other, with this the king became very angry,but because the king was smart he still acted quite kind and humble towards Manjulika. On the night Manjulika and shashindar decided to run away the king called them to perform one last time..after the performance shashindar bowed down to the king and the king immediatly capitated shashindar and killed him. Manjulika who was heart broken killed herself, leaving a note that any king who ever came she will never keep them in peace. It is said that the King died shortly after..but the cause of his death is unknown. This story has been made out to be a tragic lovestory. Thus this story indicates it is at least 200 years old. In 2007 a movie "Bhool Bulayia"adapted this story in it's plot. This is based on a true story.

Oh, dude, the story of Manjulika is as true as a unicorn riding a rainbow. It's a classic tale that's been passed down through generations, so it's got that going for it. But, like, whether it's based on actual events or just a spooky bedtime story, who really knows? It's all part of the mystery and fun of folklore, man.
