Interlude & Shakunthalai in the Forest (Act 1)

Shakunthalai's life in the forest achiramam is full of all the love she needs, or so she thinks until she meets King Dushyanthan. Their connection is undeniable. As a ruler, his first priority must be his country—but after leaving her beloved forest to be with him, is it too much to expect him to sacrifice a little? All she wants is a new home with those she loves. If he won't compromise, can she find the strength to create her own?
