To justify this point, I can say abt how she was side-lining Poonguzhali from Arumozhi. She was afraid that Arulmozhi might get impressed by the practical and dynamic Poonguzhali rather than timid and shy, Vanathi.
She must have also thought that Arulmozhi should also not get into the same swirl like Aditha Karikalan. AK fell in love with Nandini, a non-royal blood which led to lot of confusion.
She does everything for the betterment of the Royal clan than doing justice to everyone's individual feelings. She is so aristocratic and made her wishes happen. I dont think she would have ever thought about Vandhiyathevan, had him being a non-royal blood.
Is this nature good or bad ? Or this superiority complex is expected out of Kundavai, a born queen....This nature of Kundavai only kindled the ego of Nandini to take revenge against her in either way.
punkuzhali asks vanthiyathevan in book one to remind arul mozhi ( stationed in lanka)of her. even tells vd that arul mozhi has called her samudra kumari once. but kalki doesnt do much of a flash back when the incidents with pungkuzhali and arulmozhi are concered. or did he and I missed it?
frankly speaking her childhood antics are responsible for nandini becoming a villi( rather than portrayed asa freedom fighter)
many of the sitrasars were right when they said a pennatchi was going on in thanjai. in her own subtle way kundavai was doing what she wanted and steering the cholas towards what she wanted. venketesh
Dear Venkat Poonguzhali meets VD in book 2 and states that when she leaves him in Lankai...but later when Poonguzhali meets AMV he does recall that after she gets upset and runs and VD goes after her and hurts one of the assasins...
the scene in when AMV leaves for Lanka from Kodikarai he sees her coming in her boat and asks thyagavidanager who she is and he says my daughter and he comments Samudrakumari yo enru enninen...
he recalls this when they both diasppear in the elephant
