Shakuntala - This is the poignant love story of King Dushyanta and the beautiful Shakuntala. Shakuntala and Dusyanta met in the forest, fell in love and got married but soon the King had to return to his kingdom. Dushyanta left Shakuntala, who was pregnant at the time, with his ring as a symbol of his love. Immersed in thoughts of her husband, Shakuntala commited the grave misdeed of ignoring a visiting sage. The enraged sage cursed her, saying the her beloved would forget her until she produced a token of recognition. Shakuntala then went to Dushyanta's court, but sadly, he didn't recognize her and as she had lost the ring during her journey, she could not even prove her story. Much later, upon finding the missing ring in the belly of a fish, Dushyanta remembered his lost love and was eventually reunited with her through his son Bharata who he met in the forest.
