True, that the only Keshni I've ever read of. Sometimes her name is spelt 'Kesini'. She is the daughter of the King of Vidarbha, wife of Sagara and mother of Asamanja.
Kaikasi being called Keshni that I know but I think what Sagars shown in JSK is wrong. He had two wives for sure and none of them is called Keshni. My other friends checked it and till now they havent find Keshni as the wife of Kansa. I dont want to offend anyone but lots of sequences in JSK are fictional/false for e.g. Radha-Krishna marriage and Yashodaji taking Shri Krishna out of Gokul to keep him with her.π³Originally posted by: lola610^^ The show actually does tell us she's Jarasandh's daughter, and they even have her call him to Mathura to give Kans pep-talks as and when necessary (like during the Durvasa visit, remember). And after Kans's death she does fulfill the role that Asti and Prapti did in the sources which mention them, i.e. instigating Jarasandh to fight Krishna for her revenge. There is a slim chance of either of the girls being named Keshni in some other source, because one of the Puraans (I don't remember whether its Bhaagvatam or the Padma Puraan, will have to check) call Kaikasi (Ravan's mom) Keshni in their summaries of Ram Avtaar.
