Bindusaar question ...to CVs

Why does Bindusaar feel content with Vishakha? Shouldn't the baby that is troubled night and day by the little poison in his body be even more agitated when he comes close to the Vishkanya? More poison = to more discomfort?

Also, wasn't Vishakha addressing Nandini as aap until today's episode?

Can something be done about Nandini's appearance? She is a daima but can she be made to look a little less drab? At least not parched, dried lips in every close up scene? She is a princess, a pretty princess at that, and that should shine through whatever clothes she adorns. Otherwise, we might secretly excuse Chandra's weakness if he gets besotted with the pretty snake maiden instead of us admonishing him for daring to cast even a pretend amorous glance at the poison lady. Yes, yes, we know the valorous emperor truly has no eyes for anyone except his beloved Magadh princess but make her pleasing on the eye, pretty please.

I think Nandini's costume and make up is very realistic. They are making her look so drab because, what more can happen? She used to do lavish makeup when she was a princess and even more when she got married and realised her love for Chandra (the post-stab days). Now what's left for her? Like she once said, she was born as the princess of Magadha then she became the queen, the Mukhya Maharani at that and now she's a mere daima. A nanny. She has lost all the colours of her life after so much. She's gone through so much. And yea she looked more drab yesterday because she's been attacked so badly and got injured only a few hours ago and she fainted. When we wake up after sleep we look somewhat same too. And on top of that, she was weak and injured.

Valid on every point. But, even the dasis wear more colorful clothes than Nandini and appear more well-groomed. Yes, if realism is the intent, making Nandini looking colorless and drab is okay, I guess, but beauty should shine no matter what and underplaying her looks could be done a tad less obtrusively is all I am saying. Definitely do not want the Vishkanya to upstage our princess.

Sure she should. But even the dasis might have a love story with less dramas. And the vishkanya , she's bound to look beautiful. I just think that Nandini's all pains and what she's gone through at such a short period of time is visible on her face and so it looks dry and sucked out of all the soul.

Poor girl. I hope all her laughter and charms are restored as quickly as possible. She is still feisty and sharp, sharper than her husband. Hoping for personal patience while the Vishkanya track comes to a head, and status quo is re-established at the palace, with Apama banished and Moora properly chastised and humbled.
