Open Letter to Silsila Badalte Rishton Ka Team and Creatives


The concept of your show is one that has a lot of potential and many were excited to see the sparkling chemistry of two of television's most celebrated actors - Drashti Dhami and Shakti Arora. Cinematography, direction, and acting has been great so far and we have enjoyed the realistic approach.

Complex relationships which change with time...we were looking forward to seeing real, modern relationships and the issues in them as well as their convoluted nature. Many were looking forward to see how a woman gets out of an abusive marital relationship and emerges stronger and more independent. On the other hand, we hoped to see another type of problematic relationship between a man and a woman where perhaps neither were negative in a black sense, but they lacked compatibility and had varying ideologies which created a distending void.

We were looking forward to see the competent and stellar leads - Drashti Dhami as Nandini and Shakti Arora as Kunal - tackle these difficult situations, how they come together, and how the creatives justify the emotions of all the characters.

When it comes to the audience that brings ratings, it is likely that it will be very difficult for the masses to digest a narrative where the male lead who is in a saccharine relationship with an ideal and sacrificial woman betrays her trust, considering how incredibly principled and judicious he has been so far. On the other hand, it is difficult for many to fathom the thought that Nandini in seeking support to get out of her unhealthy relationship would break faith with her friend again who she cares so much for.

There is so much potential with the impressive star cast. The cinematography and direction have been great thus far. For many viewers, the highlight thus far was episode 5 and 6 where Nandini and Kunal first met! Shakti and Drashti are very powerful actors and their interactions, the powerful emotions we saw, and the subtle but impactful scenes give us a lot of hope for the future. If the nuanced treatment justifies the future shifting relationships, internal states and dilemmas of the characters are shown at a greater depth, and pacing is made a bit more consistent, this show can really do wonders on all fronts and that is what we would all like to see! All best!


Regards,
The show's well-wishers and viewers

WOW. I'm surprised that no one commented their opinion on this open letter. 😆 Anyway, THIS IS NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. Couldn't have said it better!!! How are the creatives gonna justify their jazbaat if they keep showing us the koochie koo between Kunal & Mauli? I like them, love them in fact BUT the show needs to get back to its actual plot. I feel like I'm watching the love story of two best friends - Nandini & Mauli - I really hope makers focus more on the original plot..as you already mentioned, the show has a lot of potential, it can do wonders if handled maturely!!!
PS: Really hope Gajra Kottary gets to read this open letter!!

As a TRP viewer , I would only be interested in watching a one sided relationship between Nandini and Kunal , feelings only on Nandini s side. I love the character the Mauli the most in the show as I am a working married woman myself. So if feelings / relationship is shown on both Kunal and Nandini s side , I am quitting.

i dont like the plot, though concept is ok. Shakti's character seriously failling for N despite being married? its extra marital affair. no need to glorify it i think. Mauli is a great lady, but is her hubby going to fall for the bechari soft spoken perfect woman, old concept.
they could let nandini have feelings for kunal but not kunal, also nandini doesnt need a man to heal, she can fight her own battles.

Everyone was told what the plot/show is gonna be about. Kunal will have his own reasons so will everyone else. And it's totally natural I feel, emotions change, people change, circumstances change. How they show the characters handling the situation/circumstances is something to look forward to .. for me at least.

She would have left Rajdeep ages ago if she could. She's been living with him since 6 or 8 years? I don't really remember but yeh. Well, Nandini is married too? How is that OK if she falls for him but it isn't OK when he starts developing feelings for her? Just because Mauli is nice and Rajdeep ain't? I don't buy that. Attachment is a natural thing..it just happens.

It does not matter what everyone was told. If TRPs are not good ,either script will change or the show will go off air. Audience is the king.

It has written brilliantly and I agree with every point you have made about the show and characters. I think it's high time they should add new layer in Nandini and Kunal's character so that we don't question sudden change and could relate with their Jaazbaat.

It's getting too much to watch all abusive scenes now. Today, I switched off my TV in middle of the episode. I don't want to go to bed after watching depressing scenes. I want to see Ray of hope in Nandini which she can create for herself, not by anyone. Nandini is victim of her poor decision now she needs to get out from Rajdeep's grip and the most importantly teach him a lesson..."Silent is not a weak".

Good Post Indeed👏
I am away from all this television from many days and off lately while searching for some old Episodes of one of serials, came across this Show.
The story line seems to well defined being said kunal and Nandini will be the ultimate couple of this show.
I do not understand, how the characters will be justified

Nandini leaving Rajdeep is completely acceptable given Rajdeep is Such a jerk😕
Nandini falling for Kunal is also acceptable given Kunal is such a loving and Caring person and yeah ofcourse no one has a control over heart
Kunal falling for nandini...but how...he seems to be a loyal husband, he seems to be in so much love with mauli...is it something like he will have feelings for mauli and nandini both...
If Kunal loves nandini then was his relationship with mauli (Atleast which was portrayed till now) was fake?
Did Kunal ever loved ...truly loved Mauli?
Being such a loyal husband how will he form a relationship With Nandini...will that be justified in a appropriate manner is what needs to be properly written and directed by Production team


On the other side,
Nandini has already hurt Mauli in Past by choosing Rajdeep over Mauli, given this plot...it really becomes complicated to portray a relationship between Nandini and Kunal which means betrayal of trust from Nandini's end.

Looking fwd on how will CV's justify all these questions given the plot around Nandini and Kunal as couple. I hope all the things will be sorted and justified in an appropriate way...I do not want to watch all the crap where Mauli becomes Villain, join hands with rajdeep...ruining Kunal-Nandini's relationship...all this seems to be recycled...

Just waiting to watch how story unfolds and I seriously hope the story will be taken fwd in a good manner...
