Many of you must be knowing about the famous, destructive Samba. He was the unruly and adamant son of Krishna. Below are certain unaccepted and disturbing activities Samba used to do.

He had attempted to kidnap Duryodhana’s daughter – this had led to a big war among the Kauravas and the Yadavas.

Samba pretended as a pregnant woman and harassed the sages – The sages hence cursed him to give birth to an iron mace which will be responsible for the end of the Yadu clan.
