That’s a very interesting question! Now I come to ponder about it, your question doesn’t seem unusual at all. On the contrary, it sounds plausible. Except that Devasena, in accordance to this question, wouldn’t fall in love with Baahubali, reject Bhallaladeva’s advances (which he, like a coward, did hiding behind Shivagami, unlike Baahubali who boldly went and tried to impress Devasena himself).

This princess could readily have become queen of Kunthala in the future. Maybe she’d have married Kumaravarma. Here is Kumaravarma, for those of you who haven’t seen the Baahubali films for a while.

Or maybe she wouldn’t. Probably she would decide to marry another prince/king/man from another kingdom. But that wouldn’t guarantee that her life would be better off than it was in the original timeline. So, I think we ought to scratch that.

Devasena lives happily in Kunthala with her brother, Jaya Sena, who is the King of Kunthala.

Again, for those of you for whom its been a while since you’ve watched the Baahubali movies for a while, this is Jaya Sena and his wife.

Think about it. No Mahishmati politics, no need for Devasena to lose her family and kingdom. Someone write a fan fiction on this already!
