ok here goes.
well your right these things happen a lot in real life, and its easy to say oh why would someone take their lives like that over a guy or why not stay for the ones you love, why would you as women be with someone who cares least for you but its not as easy as it looks. similarly to someone in a abusive marriage or with a parents/family or partner, its not easy at all. cause people in those situations even are told why do you stay with etc. i mean you cant say to someone who is depressed get over it, oh your life is perfect why are you depressed but its not as simple as that. its more complex then black and white.
i've never been in love so its easy for me to say the same thing as you, like forget about the guy etc. but i can imagine it must be really painfully. people have in real life have died over a broken heart, not even suicide
these types of love like nandini is referred to an addiction type of love in psychology i guess. love is all consuming when you do fall, the feeling is something else and to not being able to have it or lose it is crushing, and nandini seemed to have gone into depression over it, people have resilience and others lack resilience, some people can deal with losing love some others just cant. and of course martial affairs should be a red flag for any women this guy isnt right, but i guess when love is involved its blinding and the other women thinks that love is real, the guy will make you feel like he loves you the most and does nice things to prove it and tell you that he will leave until he doesnt. once in love one cant see beyond to the bigger picture.
the biggest reason people kill themselves is depression, and no matter how many people you have around you that love you or in this case had only arjun, its still not enough and thats the scary part of depression. many parents have killed themselves despite having kids. depression severely clouds your judgment and mind and makes you feel sad and horrible, twisting your reality. you start to be able not to enjoy or feel anything. trust me, i may have not been depressed but i felt like i really came close to that. the feeling is really hard to understand and escape from. im just lucky i hadnt fallen into it, other may have looked at me like why would you get to that point your life isnt so bad.
im not sure how nandini met samrat, maybe she fell for him not knowing he had a wife and kid only finding out latter, or samrat wooed her and she gave into that only to find out he would not leave his family. im also not sure what kind of life nandini had before samrat, cause if she had never fallen in love or didnt have such a good life those could make her easily vulnerable to this situation.
as for arjun, arjun was a orphan, nanidni was all he had in his life and the only person who he felt loved him. to see a parental figure fall apart like that in front of your eyes like that especially for a child is pretty devastating and reality changing. thats the only reality he knows of what happened and since he was a kid that whole situation and the way nandini behaved could have easily manipulated and influenced his perception and reality as being the only truth. he may not know the whole truth but seeing nandini fall apart like and die as a kid he made up his mind and feeling of hatred took over, as it probably would seeing someone you love die and being a child the reason would be samrat even though its not as simple as that.
theres a lot of psychology that goes into both arjun and nandini and understanding them and their situation. i suggest you read up on people like these, women like nandini and the psychological effect of it and on kids to. its very interesting.and can help you give more insight.
also we shouldnt project our experiences and resilience and expectations on others cause we are all different and behave and react differently. we may be able to handle things but others may not be able to. humans are complex that way. i may go to someone oh why are you so upset over that little thing, but to them that little thing maybe the most painful thing they have faced ths far in their life whereas you might have faced something more difficult thats why you may view it as stupid.
plus there are different types of women in this show, so im fine with that, i wanna see complex and different types of women whether someone like nandini, sam or radhika.
anyways i could more on this matter as i study psychology but i feel like i might wright a whole paper on it lol, best you research it.
btw dont thin either re right but just seeing the psychology behind it to why they were like that and why they are doing it. im sure arjun will come out of it soon
