Krishna wanted to meet Karna's mother and she expressed how shameful she is feeling for Duryodhan's acts. Krishna replied that Karna is doing because he does not understand how he really is. As soon as Karna met him, Krishna said that Duryodhan had chances to change all the decisions he had taken, however, he had lost them. Karna said he is doing all of it because he has all the right to be the king but was never granted rights. Karna told that when everyone was against him Duryodhan helped and at this point, he is bound to support Duryodhan and supporting him is a way of wishing thanks and not war. 

Krishna asked if he was crowned the king would he still be on the side of Duryodhan. Karna replied to Krishna that it was not a valid question as he is the son of Radha. Krishna further questioned what if he was the son of Kunti. Karna said why would he be the son of Kunti and Krishna revealed to Karna that he is the son of Kunti and all the strength he possessed is that of Lord Surya Narayan's blessings and started explaining the story. Krishna said that Radha found him in river Ganga. Karna gets shocked upon learning about his real parents. Krishna said that if he finds it hard to believe he should ask his mother and think about choosing the right side of the war.

Radha reminded him that she has been with him since his childhood and she has raised him, so he is her son, even though she has not given birth to him. Radha stopped realising that she had revealed the truth of Karna's parents while having conversations with him.
