Some Dialogues of BR Chopra’s Mahabharat
Aas keh rahi shwaas se, dheeraj rakhna seekh. Maange bin moti mile, maange mile na bheekh!
Vachan diya socha nahi, hoga kya parinam. Soch samajh kijiye, jeevan mein har kaam!
Jo hona hai wo tou hokar hi rahega. Manusha ka ye kartavya hai ke vartamaan ki jholi mei apna uphaar daalkar aage barh jaye!
