Love, Hatred & Distrust

What I will not accept., and condemn unreservedly, is his utterly irresponsible act of banishing Nandini from the palace without any recourse, that too at night, when he knows full well that she has nowhere to go as she had no maayka. What if she had been kidnapped by bandits and sold as a slave? Who then would be responsible for that horrible fate befalling her? That she escaped a similar fate at Malayketu's hands was pure luck.

I simply could not stand it when I watched Chandra 2 standing in that balcony and arguing with himself that he had been right in asking her to leave. Not just that, later, when he is faced with daadi's demand for Nandini, he exclaims with exasperation that she should have left in the morning!

That was when I wanted to kick him all the way from Pataliputra to Takshashila with hobnailed boots.😡

@green. This would cut the serial's length by a good 100 episodes, and that would never do, now, would it?😉

As for how the heroine can fall in love with such a character, women can, and very often do in real life as well. Many women take violent jealousy as proof of the depth of the man's love for them. Here, Nandini has fallen in love with Chandra 1, and she cannot dump that love suddenly just because of the changeling of a Chandra 2 has suddenly taken over. Chandra 1 is already creeping back; last night's episode - with him ending up as Nandini's teddy bear😉 - gave a strong indication of how he is going to start melting pretty soon.

Don't fret, and get set for the fun as Roopa starts wooing Chandra aggressively, and he does not know what to make of this new "Nandini"!😆

Oh Lord, my response is longer than your post! But then I am mostly "like that only'.😉

Hi my dearies

I am back with my 2 cents 😊 .

While the game of mistrust & jealousy track is going on for over 2 weeks now in CN, today's episode and the next day's footage forced me to write this post. This track of hatred, then arrival of a third person (who may be a villain or a good character), then misunderstanding is quite old and oft repeated one in Hindi serials. The same is being used here in CN, as usual Ekta Mata has pretty small stock of tactics in her mind, and uses the same ones over & over again. What makes me wonder is this trend of making the Hero distrust his wife without giving a logical thought, not giving her a chance to even clarify, is this trend a good one? I mean, is this how a Hero, the supposed ideal man with no vices, should be shown to behave?

And after all the distrust and blame-games and name calling and insult hurling and sometimes even physical violence, the heroine ultimately forgives & falls in love with this person who tortured her so? For once, can they not show in Hindi serials, how actually a good man will behave? Like giving the accused a chance to explain, or atleast use the head on his shoulders and put 2 and 2 together and figure out for himself.

There has been so much of discussion about how regressively Ekta's shows portray women, but sometimes I feel, men in Ekta's serials are portrayed even worse. They are not only short-tempered (for some reason being angry is considered manly, which is sooo not in real life) and ill-informed, men in Ekta's serials are really really dumb, easily influenced by a third party, and possessing critically low EQ. I am not sure, in real life, any woman possessing all those qualities and beauty like the heroines of these serials will ever go for a man that dumb.

Besides, watching Rajat behave that un-intelligently physically hurts me.😭😭
