Hello forumwasis,
This is my first post in this forum & I have been quite active on other forums though.
I wasn't planning to watch this show after watching the initial trailers but a glimpse of episode forced me to watch this one. And I was amazed at how accurately the makers have shown different characters, each one showing exactly kind of people this society has with utmost perfection. The show is on a very sensitive topic for Indians & one needs to watch it with open-mind to understand the essence of the story. There are times in life when no one can be blamed if something goes wrong. You just have to accept it for what it is & move on.
I want this show to be different than what TV has served us so far. I want it to be realistic in its take on relationships & that too on complex relationships like the one portrayed here & one it is set to explore in future.
I want to see how seemingly perfect marriages fall apart. I want to see how two people so much in love in a marriage at one point lead to a point where they can't be together as husband-wife anymore. They will be together like friends but not as a couple. I want to see how this entangled life of Kunal-Mauli-Nandini turns out to be. I want to see lot more things like-
1. How Kunal is pushed towards Nandini even when he would never want that to happen.
2. How Mauli-Nandini will turn out when that happens. Even after so many years of differences, they have never forgotten each other not even for a moment.
3. How would Mauli react & deal with such a situation. (I honestly don't want typical TV drama here. I want sensible portrayal of Mauli. I want to see how women of her position will act in such a situation).
4. Also how would Kunal's mother react in this situation. She too is a woman of substance in the show.
5. How would Nandini deal with the entire situation given the fact that Mauli is her best friend & knight in the shining armor & she can't & should not even consider going back to Rajdeep again once she gets rid of that man. (Going back to Rajdeep will be too cliched).
6. How Nandini makes up a life for herself with the amazing talents she has already.
As far as how & why Nandini might develop feelings for Kunal, so here, is my take on that-
Nandini-Rajdeep & Kunal
Rajdeep-Nandini are the extreme but real case. Such a marriage was seen last time in Saubhagyavati Bhava. So, it's pretty evident that Nandini sooner or later will have to break her silence & get out of this marriage. And the courage to do so will come from Mauli & Kunal together. While Mauli will be a shield of Nandini against Rajdeep. Kunal will be shield to both of these ladies against Rajdeep.
For Nandini, Kunal will be everything Rajdeep never was. Initially, Nandini will have immense respect for Kunal for saving her from Rajdeep even though he didn't have to do it & there is no relation of Nandini & Kunal except for that related to Mauli. And Nandini will try her best to repay Kunal's favors on her in her own way by taking care of him purely out of respect & nothing more. But gradually her respect will develop into something deep for Kunal. It might be easy for Nandini to develop those feelings for Kunal given the fact that her feelings were never even considered in Rajdeep's home & Kunal will be keeping her wishes at the top & even consider her as an equal, something Rajdeep never did.
Nandini falling for Kunal might not come as a surprise to many. She would not want to fall for Kunal but she will fall for his goodness & greatness. She would never want to hurt Mauli but she won't be able to help it. Because as the saying goes- Heart wants what it wants.
Kunal-Mauli & Nandini. (It's the mosre twisted case)
Kunal is very much in love with Mauli & Mauli loves him as well. The feelings they have for each other are pretty evident with their beautiful chemistry they have on screen. Even though Mauli is not hardcore romantic, she loves Kunal very much in her own way where she is willing to do anything just to fulfill Kunal's dreams. Even, Kunal loves Mauli to the core despite all the differences they have at times.
When Nandini comes into their lives, Kunal will have both sympathy & empathy for Nandini. And since she is Mauli's friend & Mauli is too much bothered by Nandini's state, he will be all the more involved in Nandini's case for the sake of Mauli & humanity as well. He will be involved in Nandini's case on 2 levels- on level of responsible & sensible human being and also on the level of Mauli's friendship with Nandini.
He will encourage Nandini to start a new life after rescuing her from her pathetic marriage. I am actually waiting to see how Kunal's sympathy for Nandini leads to something deep in his heart for Nandini. Because for normal viewers, this guy has the perfect wife who shouldn't be betrayed & neither is Kunal that kind of guy who would upset Mauli just like that. Neither will he try to justify his feelings only because Mauli is a seemingly busy doctor. Kunal knows & understands Mauli's job & her passion for it. Besides, it might be relatively easy to accept Nandini falling for Kunal, Kunal falling for Nandini might be loathed to a great extent.
I have seen marriages which went perfectly (no violence or abuse is basically our conventional idea of perfect marriages) for 15-20 years & then the couple decide to get divorce. Not because they don't love each other anymore but because they are not in love with each other anymore. They do it mutually because they think they won't be able to be in that marriage anymore. I know it's sensitive for Indians because for us marriage is this commitment which has to go till death. Even after divorce, the couples don't have any ill-feelings for each other & they are connected on some level. I want to see the same dynamic between Mauli-Kunal-Nandini with as realistic portrayal as it can be. I simply don't want it to go typical Indian daily soap way because it will simply destroy the show & magic it possess right now.
Mauli-Kunal's chemistry is mind-blowing. While Rajdeep-Nandini spoil your mood, Kunal-Mauli are the visual treat
There ends my rant. I want to see this modern take on this show with open-mind & without any judgement. And I really hope, I get that in the future episodes as well.
I am in no way trying to justify any sort of extra-marital affair. Relationships when break hurt all those who were intimately involved in it. But sometimes, one has to choose between short-term heart-break & lifelong pain at certain points in life.
Some might not agree with my views. But that's alright. Everybody doesn't think the same way. This show is going to give us many complicated feelings, something I guess people face in real life as well. Different opinions however are most welcome.
It's a long rant but I had to lent it out anyway.
