An ambitious lady, and that too ambition of entering royalty and climb up the ladders of power politics...had to tread through rough, manipulative, diplomatic, cunning, grey paths...and it doesn't matter, you're lady or a man ...and there's nothing wrong if the end success is beneficial to the awaam...but this last bit is a separate issue...and that was 16th century of kalyug and not treta yug.
What did this Nissa did to attract Salim...give him coy glances...the real one must have made plans so that Salim's nazar falls on her and further enchanted him...reel Nissa doesn't do any of this one bit...she has literally no plans, she has just dreams and luck favours her.
I don't blame viewers...they have never been given the choice.....all can be grey EXCEPT the female lead...even in the show/book...everyone is grey EXCEPT Nissa
