I see alot of backlash for the show, but in my opinion Silsila is one of the biggest risks Indian TV Shows has ever taken. For real, we've seen enough love/hate relationships and enough saas-bahu drama. I like the idea of Nandini being a sideline chick. I mean it has been done before, but not to this extent. And Mauli isn't all that innocent, she seems suffocating and Kunal is falling out of love with her, and it happens in real life. For crying out loud, it''s 2018. Who cares about EMA affairs being so taboo, it happens more than you think.

OT: I also think Mauli will team up with Rajdeep and become the antagonist. 😲

Silsila isn't one of the biggest risks on TV. So many shows on EMAs have been done, just that they were so much better handled that they didn't receive such backlash. Mauli isn't perfect. But if Mauli is so suffocating, doesn't Kunal have a mouth and brain to talk to her and point out her fault when he has the same to cheat on her? And by the logic that it's Mauli's fault that Kunal is cheating, then it's also Nandini's fault that Rajdeep cheated on her. Why so much backlash for Rajdeep then? People should be then pointing out how Nandini should improve herself to suit Rajdeep. Individuals are responsible for their actions and here Kunal and Nandini are responsible for the EMA, and not Mauli.

The problem here isn't about the theme of EMAs. It's that the leads and scenarios are so unrealistically developed and presented. The leads are being white-washed and presented as some sort of 'Abla Naris' when they aren't. The EMA is being justified and glorified using emotions and religion. When the CVs have the guts to present the characters as grey/dark for what they are and they rightfully point out an EMA as an EMA without justifying it especially using religion, the backlash with stop. No matter the year, when something is wrong, people will speak out.

And why should Mauli become the antagonist? Even if she joins with Rajdeep to take revenge, she won't be the antagonist because of all the betrayal done to her. When Kunal and Nandini's juzzbaat can justify the EMA, Mauli's emotions can also justify what revenge she takes on these cheaters. I hope instead Mauli moves on and let karma take effect on these cheaters. She deserves so much better.

If mauli is turned negative that won't justify kunan's ema.

It is definitely not one of the biggest risks. In fact it's one of the weakest story'and characterization.

There were popular shows 15 20 years back on risky bold topics like ema, rape etc.

Shanti

Hasratein

Astitva

And the list goes on...

Silsila is blunder by makers. They have failed to show character graph.

Very true

Makers of Silsila badly failed

Viewers are not able to connected with story line

One of the reason is everything moving way too fast,it does not mean they have to drag it

but some how--whatever they r showing ,making no sense

Phir se! It happens it happens it happens. Yes it does but in which century was it "normal and acceptable"? And in which coming year is it going to be legal? Till then we can call a spade a spade , a cheater a cheater , an ema an ema and a characterless woman a mistress. Thank you.

Well said !! Including divine signs and projecting EMA saying it's cos god is trying to unite them..Really ?? This show can't get any low ..EMA as true love , Marriage as purana farz and Consummation scene with Sindoor When the wife is thinking about the pheras

In 90s we had shows like hasratein where bedroom scene was a big deal. Their sex scene featured topless saaavi the female lead. Though chest was covered but it was still bold.

Then there was saans where man left his wife. Kora kaagaz where bhabhi felt in love with dever. So no silsila is not a risk and not on their level
