* HeldGaze: Shantanu was previously King Mirabhisheik and was in India’s court in Heaven. When Ganga dropped by, the two of them caught each other’s gaze and continued to stare at each other. However, Ganga suffered a WardrobeMalfunction at the same time. Because Mirabhisheik didn’t avert his gaze, Brahma cursed him to be reborn once more as a human. Because Ganga didn’t avert her gaze to fix her clothes, she was cursed too.
