Well written arshi_asya! Just a few points to add or correct. I'm not a psychologist either, but I've studied some psychology in school and university so I remember some stuff.

Rajdeep is a psychopath not a sociopath. A sociopath has no understanding of another's feelings and makes decisions on impulse. But a psychopath has impaired empathy and remorse and is egotistical. There's a very fine difference between both and it is often hard to understand and actually the saying you used is wrong. Sociopaths and psychopaths are often born that way. It's an actual brain defect that leads people down one or the other path.

Kunal also has something called psychological entitlement. It's like entitlement, but it's actually a psychological or brain condition where one feels that they deserve more or are entitled to more than others are. It's also a general belief that remains consistent over time and across many different situations. In entitlement, someone feels like that in some situations. Like you might feel entitled to better marks in school because you feel your peers are stupid in comparison to you. But in psychological entitlement you always feel like that. At work you might feel entitled to that promotion because you feel that you worked harder than your colleagues. Or you might feel entitled to butt ahead of others in line at the grocery store just because.

Mauli is also an over-giver. She gives too much to the detriment of relationships. When Kunal decided to open his own clinic, she gave it her all to open it for him to the detriment of her romantic life with Kunal. When it came to save Nandini, she again gave it her all to the detriment of losing Kunal. She is constantly over-giving. In this over-giving she might actually give Kunal forgiveness one day and take him back to the detriment of her own health and peace.

Nandini also has extreme mood swings. She has mood fluctuations that range from extreme depression to extreme moments of joy. And these often come at the most inopportune times. Sometimes when she faces Rajdeep, she freezes up and becomes scared, but other times she gains the strength to tell him off. She claims that everything happened unknowingly, but yet she doesn't back down from continuing to pursue Kunal.

You both write so well. This post deserves to be a separate post in itself actually. Everything was explained so perfectly here.

Kunal is a narcissist for me, one of the main trait of narcissist is that they feel very entitled to everything, though he is not on high-spectrum because he has empathy too, something a true narcissist completely lacks (just like Mauli's mom or Rajdeep) (A lot of us have narcissistic traits in us but only shades of them.) But during the entire time of affair, Kunal was a true narcissist since he didn't spare a single thought for Mauli or his family.

As for Rajdeep, you may be right actually. I heard that saying from a famous psychologist only named Ramana (don't remember exactly). But Tara in IMMJ is psycho, and she hardly exhibits remorse & any sort of empathy on killing someone but she is highly egoistical for sure. But I think psychopathic traits are visible from the early age but sociopathic traits may be triggered after certain incidents in one's life.

Nandini's mood swings come from multiple personality disorders she has developed over years. They are so overlapping in nature that one can hardly make out a difference in them.

For Mauli, I agree. She is too empathetic to everyone with traits of over-giving that comes out as absolute devotion to the cause.

Psychology is a complex subject with overlapping concepts & the ones where it's difficult to clearly make out a difference between the two.
