The love story of Bhima and Hidimba

Their love story is short-lived. The Pandavas’s mother was abused and manipulated by Kauravas as they were successful. Kunti was forced to exile with her children in the forest. This led to the happening of their love story.

Kunti and Pandavas went asleep in the forest except for Bheem, who opened the doors for 2 demons, Hidimb and Hidimba. They both are siblings. Hidimb told her sister to lure Bheem a beautiful woman.

She took that form as her brother told her. She saw Bheem and fell in love with him. Bheem and Hidimb both started fighting together, Hidimba didn’t want her brother to win so she helped Bheem to win. The fight ended and Bhim won, and Hidimb died. Kunti already knew that Hidimb was in love with Bhim, so this led to their marriage.

The suffering of Hidimba

Hidimba does everything to get the love of Bhim. She was unlucky as Bheem married Valandhara and Draupadi. She doesn’t enjoy the privilege of being Bhim’s queen. One day, she sent her son to Pandavas for their blessings and she also told him not to touch the feet of Draupadi.

He followed his mother’s instruction and didn’t touch Draupadi’s feet, which angered her. She cursed Hidimba’s son to die young. This annoyed Hidimba so she cursed Draupadi’s children's death. According to mythology, Hidimba became spiritual after she lost her son in the war of Mahabharata. She never supported her husband after that. And the love story of Bhim and Hidimba leads to a tragic end.
