KARNA IN FEAR :P ....

The Super Comedian Blorndies quoted some incidents regarding Arjun getting feared 😛

I am able to recall a famous dialog on this 'fear' by Mr Pankaj Dheer,who played Karna's role in BR Chopra Mahabharata -

Karna to Shalya(BR Chopra Mahabharata) -

वे काथ के योद्धा होते हैं मद्रनरेश जो भयभीत नहीं होते ।

As far as fear of Arjuna is concerned,he never feared Karna,never did he admit his fear towards Karna.It's mentioned sometimes,but that was completely the opinion of others in the flow of emotions and frustration,like Yudhisthir and Dhritrashtra's case.

NOW....TIME TO THROW SOME LIGHT ON OCCASIONS WHEN KARNA WAS DOWN WITH FEAR
