The popularity of both actors was pretty high before this show, but I feel like this show was the wrong choice for both.

Nandini is a weak character with no substance. Honestly all she does is dress up, cry and think about herself. Drashti is extremely unlucky that she has been lumbered with such a poorly written character, which she probably didn't expect.

As for Shakti, he has spineless Kunal to contend with, who for me has been written to be even worse than Nandini. Seriously what does this man even do in this show, just runs after Mauli or Nandini?

When I watched promo's for this show, I was naive enough to think that there may not be a full blown affair. In my defence the promo's did show that Kunal loved Mauli, but had developed feelings for Nandini. I thought we'd be shown how they fight these feelings and how Kunal works on his marriage and Nandini tries to save her friendship. I guess just like me, the actors didn't expect to get such poorly written characters.

Indian people still believe in institution of marriage.
Most of the divorce cases are due to harassing husband or Mother in law.I think less than 5 % indian population divorce bcoz of EMa.
Then also it is only in elite classes.
Audience who watch Tv dont support EMa.

I can assure you that EMA have breached all classes of the society. Though we get to hear bout elite class only most of the times.
EMA have hardly ever been supported anywhere. So, if makers thought they would get the support then they were being completely mental. 😆

I started watching the show for shakthi n dhrashti unique casting.. until they abruptly started EMA track it made sense.. that a sane person could develop feeling for another attractive person.. that's about it no happily married person gonna act on that feeling.. especially if they claim to love there spouse..
Its not a crime to think some one is good and attractive.. but it does become bad choice when you act on it. I am actually surprised DD chose such a character.. especially considering her roles before this and her popularity..

EARLIER WHEN ADITI WAS ONLY HAPPY .I FELT IF THIS GIRL CAN PORTRAY ANY OTHER EMOTION..
POST REVELATION TRACK.. WHAT A DISPLAY OF EMOTION.. SO REAL AND RELATABLE.. ENDED UP BECOMING ADITIS FAN..

I guess the actors themselves did not expect that the makers will execute it this bad! Drashtis character had potential but they ended up making her abla naari. They should have shown her as a grey character all together!
And Kunal's is a pathetic characterisation. And Shaktis acting skills is not adding anything to it so in all it's not connecting with the audiences at all!

The strongest ever Drashti's character looked was only in the promo... Mauli has totally aced it. Poorly written Nandini and Kunal characters tbh! No one would support this so called divine love...

more than Drashti i think this proved to be a bad choice for Shakti...his character started out as something else and turned into someone completely wretched...not only is he sinning but has no shame for it and has no plans of stopping or changing...i think acting wise too Shakti often slips and doesn't know what emotions to portray bec his character is such a jerk
