Shakuni, a character from the Indian epic Mahabharata, is often depicted as a cunning and manipulative figure. He was the prince of Gandhara and the brother of Gandhari, the mother of the Kauravas. Historical texts do not provide specific details about his wives, as his character is more focused on his role in the Kurukshetra War and his enmity with the Pandavas, rather than his personal life. Thus, information about Shakuni's wives is largely absent or not emphasized in the epic's narratives.
