well, technically speaking, since they were never divorced, it's nandini ansh ujral karan virani. đ
yours was an interesting attempt at rationalising nandini, 'cause it ended up highlighting parts only on one side of the story. i only know this show from the current young generation -- am not really with the ganga-nandini group, (although i think that hiten tejwani is the best - actor-wise). đ
here's where i found that your story didn't match the story that i saw:

So it was nandini who was raped, went into comma, had to live through the torture of seein karan tanya thng(even if karan covered it up later), kill someone for her dotter,went to jail, lived alone for freaking 20 years!! and now comes bak to discover that her dotter thnks she is da most disgusting creature in this world!
actually, not true. when nandini "returned, there were two people who were ecstatically happy -- karan and bhoomi. bhoomi kept going on and on about her nandini-mom so much that tanya-mom got traumatised and manthan caused a ruckus in shantiniketan about it.
nandini wasn't alone. she apparently made such good friends that even if he was married to some other dame, asseem slept in the same bed as nandini (even though he had his little jammies on, so proper!). i hope the wife was also good friends with nandini! so she was not alone. she definitely did some - er, - interesting things while she was - er - in jail. today, she is very very well off, unless karan pays her rent and food and clothes bills, which looks like it is a lot. finally, it was she, with that ultimately silly but extremely painful drama that almost killed karan, who turned bhoomi into hating nandini. that was created by nandini.
of course, you will have a reason for it which may or may not be true. but we can't walk up to nandini and ask her if it's true and so it's only a guess. what i do know is that bhoomi was desperate for nandini's love when she returned. nandini turned her away with a drama. i think there's a good reason for why bhoomi started hating her. and of course, since no-one tells her the whole story, there are now lots of reasons bhoomi has found to hate nandini.

Even ganga and tulsi havent been through this much. Atleast tulsi lived to see her kids grow, despite the last 20 year leap. Tulsi had people with her, dere was baa dere was karan but who did nandini have-----who????? dont say aseem dat doesnt count!!! Ganga despite the 20 year separation atleast has her kids who if not anything respect her and lets not forget "THEY DONT HATE HER" All this changed Nandini. Something in her has died and drawn curtains which I doubt will ever open đ
for 20 years, tulsi had no-one until she found kt in haridwar, and a baby is not support, physical or emotional.
for 20 years, ganga had no-one in her life. but she worked hard, and fought, and became a person that first, her children hated, when she came back. it's not like bhoomi who adored nandini when she came back. lakshya went to ganga's home and asked her why she'd come back. nakul would'nt even look at her. it's only today that they look at her with respect, not yet with love, which is what she craves. just like nandini does.
but your last statement is right. she changed, and curtains have fallen, darkness, light and clouds, etc. etc. đ happened. she gave up. and that is nandini's problem today. the other two did things and remained hopeful. nandini gave up.
she might have been a great character filled with happiness and light. and maybe you miss that nandini. but today, her character has given up all hope. in that, i agree with you.
my problem is what you write last:

Today if she stops Laksh from meeting kt, its b.c she knoes dat dis wound wont be healed no matter how muh he tries. A word or two by laksh wont fast forward what happened. Laksh was right when he said "KT sab sey door jaa chuki hai, mujh sey bhi" so did nandini. a very integral part of them has died and dis cant be ever relived . u die once and u live once. Gone are da days of 'nak chiri KT" just like nandini.
this is such a defeatist attitude that it's practically not human. human beings go forward day after day on hope. i mean, if we think that the sun is going to supernova, and that earth will be destroyed for sure, do you think that we will all become like nandini saying "oh there's no use in loving, living 'cause we're all going to die soon"?
a rape victim is already traumatised. the world is going to be an uglier place. all of this is true. but to say that the way a person who loves you will always see you as dirty and damaged is simply horrible and more, untrue.
i had no idea what nandini meant when she said that karan and she couldn't get back to love. but i think it was a horrible thing to say to kt, who is already feeling unsure of her life. nandini doesn't know kt, doesn't know lakshya. and yet, she makes them the same as an old-karan-nandini story. that was sad.
it's tough to feel sympathy or positive vibes for such a charcter. one who has no or little hope. one just feels pity for such a character, especially if she was hopeful and sweet once upon a time. i pity nandini. but i can't like her today.
