Genie. I have no words. I have tears in my eyes and lump of stuck in my throat. I don't think you understand how perfectly you put into words the tangents that I've been throwing, you effortlessly put together all the thoughts running and screaming through a MaNan's fans heads.
The nandini that people talk about now isn't the nandini from season 1, and I see people already defending the attitude by justifying that it's a new season. However what they fail to see is just because it's a new season that does not mean that the coherence in the characters should be lost. This nandini isn't the same, yes people change, yes they develop other features however this nandini seems to be a shell of herself who is hallow on the inside.
I fail to understand the storylines in this season just because I feel as though they don't really have one. One second they are talking about tashaan every two minutes the next they are preaching about yaariaan. It mindboggles me, it's plausible that it's the writing, the writers changed and so has the direction of the characters, they don't know where they are heading.
I don't have much to say about the season because I've strayed away from it as much as possible, however what I would like to reiterate it what you've said above; Richa Yamini I honestly from the bottom of my heart applaud you to my hearts extent, you made nandini different and unique, which I can't say the same about anymore, she seems to behave a duplicate from other shows, but you Richa Yamini you gave nandini justice in season 1, you held this show together, you gave it meaning. It was you that was root of this show, these actors and characters just the mere branches, and without you the branches have become lifeless.
