Yes!๐
Actually, Shakuni mama wanted Kunti maate and had a battle with Pandu over her. Obviously, Shakuni lost. He asked Pandu to spare him and told him that he had a beautiful Sister, Gandhari who will marry Pandu.
Pandu forgave him but had Gandhari Marry his blind brother Dhritrashtra.Gandhari felt insulted and helpless.
She vowed to make Kuntis life hell and truly hated her.
Shakuni just followed his sister and served Pandu as the PM for a while but then Pandu died. After that, he seved Dhrit and Duri as the PM.
To keep them both happy, and due to lust for power and wealth he performed many atrocities against the Pandavas. Not because he cared for Gandhari.
Gandhari hated Kunti and Pandavas and almost Killed Kunti too, there was a event where she bathed in blood of someone she thought was Kunti.
She taught the Kauravas to hate Pandavas.
After Pandu passed away, Shakuni physically molested Kunti who vowed to never wear a blouse if not made of Shakunis skin.
Arjuna helped Karna in winning a girl in marriage.
His most beautiful wife was Suprabha
Javanese Kings claimed direct desendent from Arjuna, and through him to the Gods in hindu culture.
Nakul and Sahdeva ruled Shalyas kingdom after his death i think.
Yudhishtira won the archery Comp. between Pandava and Kaurava, the winner was to marry Draupadi
ALTERNATE: other story is that there was a comp. in which Draupadis Uncle had to be defeated in a duel, whoever defeated him will Marry Draupadi.
Only Bheema was a match for him. But bheema was already married so Draupadi married Yudhishtira. ( @Vrish ๐ฅณ)
