2 weeks of Silsila - A honest review

Dear Angels11,

That was a very nice review. I loved your positive and negative take of the show. Like you said, it is very difficult to understand Nandini. While She is a modern woman, she is using her Sathi Savitri mode that it is her dharma to be with her husband. Well to each his own.

But I have to tell you My aunt Is Ph.D. in PSYCHOLOGY. and has been married for 30 years, all 22 years, she had been abused by her mother-in-law while her son ( her husband) just stood there watching that happen. But still, she did not leave him or say anything against his mother to him, though he was aware of the injustice happening in the house. We were all telling her to fight back, but she did not. Finally, the mother in law died and she was relieved and now the husband is like oh darling, oh dear and That is making my aunt so happy and I want to puke. Where was this oh darling and oh sweetie, when she was being abused, is my question? My aunt is very independent and a psychologist and still she let this happen. It needs the courage to fight against any type of injustice and I guess my aunt did not have it. And if the predator sees the prey weak, they will only torture them more. which is what happened. I can relate the same thing with Nandini. For her, her hope is what is keeping the marriage going. Hoping he would change. I hope the makers don't make his change, just he needs to punished.

I waited and waited for Arnav sigh Raizada to be punished for his cruelty against Khushi, But it did not happen, not even his eyelash was hurt.😆😆 I hope raj gets his due.

Thanks for the honest review.

I m also not fan of weak character although I like DD but nandini's character is very weak but I think there is more scope for this character to grow as I feel with the encourgement of Kunal and mauli she will emerge as stronger woman .TM it depends upon how we are raised so far what I concluded from nandini's character I think she is not raised in stronger enviornment .In some families gals are not given freedom and they are always told that they can't do particular things and restricted from raising voice againts males whether he is father or husband.I m from medical field and hv seen many cases of woman abuse where woman despite being educated are not ready to give up abusive relationship becoz of the pressure of society and parents .In some cases woman are bound by children .We being in medical field tried to make them understand that if they will not take action this will happen again and again but they don't have courage in them to go against it and many are afraid that what will happen with them after divorce as Indian women are raised with mentality that life is nothing without husband .We are lucky that we got good and supportive families so we can't relate to character like nandini but what cvs are showing is real .Many woman still being independent and educated fear to go against their male partners due to ine or other reason.I hope nandini character changes into strong woman with help of kunal and mauli.

Special mention yes me too loving the character of mauli .Writers hv this charcter very beautifully.It's beautiful becoz it is more relateable.You are right if they want to grab the eyeballs they should not keep on repeating same scenes and show more meaningful content.One thing I want to say all actors whether it's shakti aditi or abhinav drashti all are doing awesome job .Supporting cast is also best now the future of the show depends upon the story and presentation. And i request cvs to show nandini's family and background so we will be able to relate more to nandini's character that why she is so submissive and weak.

Completely agree with you..love Kunal and Mauli characters..but pace is very much slow.

I completely agree about the Malhotra family... they are a breath of fresh air. And esp Mauli's character... the problem and issues she is facing and how she deals with them are very real and relatable.

About Nandini... I feel a bit of a disconnect with her character because we haven't been shown much about her background or anything to understand why she is the way she is. Like the fb scene where she chooses Rajdeep over Mauli after Mauli, accuses Rajdeep... even there it is strange to see Nandini side with Rajdeep over a friend she knew very well. Actually, right from before marriage itself, she seemed to have been submissive where Rajdeep was concerned.

Maui is fun loving caring person
she works day and night .she might get badly tired but still she remains in jolly mood and make environment jolly .she rarely get serious .even she is serious . she hide it and start doing majak Masti. .


Kunal ,a very romantic husband , supportive husband as well as honest doctor

both Kunal and mauli not only think about them selves . like if my family is happy hume doosre ke dukh se Kya Lena Dena .Maui and Kunal r happy in their life but still both can understand others pain



Kunal family r very broad minded and supportive .they don't interfere in Kunal and husband personal life when Kunal take mauli to restaurants . in law did not feel bad like Kunal to mauli ka gulam ho kar reh gaya

also in law did not forced mauli to wear saree only


where as mauli got such family
where she can Wear dress. she can eat ,drink of her own choice . husband and in-laws has given her fully freedom

but in Nandini I think in order to breath she might be taking permission from rajdeep . she can't do any thing of her choice

. rajdeep Alway force his liking on Nandini and making her life hell

I have a different view regarding the characters.

For me, In a TV show a character is end result of contribution by many people like the actor, director, writer, dialogues, editor and others unlike a novel where the character is created solely by the writer. (so I am not looking at the written character here)

and the word relatable also has a little different meaning for me.
