That doesn't meant it's glorficiafion of Mauli's character, it's just how it is when the third person is cheated on. Her character is such that glorification attempts aren't even needed. You feel for her because she's always been a good person.



Exactly, Mauli's screenspace is the lowest. She basically was there for many episodes to push KuNan together, at point I was so irritated with her using same dialogues in every scene. It's obvious Nandini wasn't meant to be a grey character so the whole whitewashing process of Nandini has actually ruined the whole show including her character. There's no need to glorify Mauli, people would have sympathized with her no matter what, she was cheated on by her husband and best friend. Even now Mauli's scenes that we see in OLV are not included in the show, she rarely has solo scenes, the only time show was Mauli centric was during revelation and even then the dialogues were taken from SM, how can they go wrong with a character who's loved by the audience?
It doesn't hurt that Aditi is an amazing actress, she makes Mauli real

@MB - yup i agree to all the points but mauli is not made mahaan at the expense of the other two.. even if they were executed well people would have excused them, sympathized with them but their love for mauli would be the same. mauli's actions are independent to the type of affair kunal and nandini have.. if they were genuinely in love then also mauli would have reacted the same way.
i agree with @REEMZ here.. mauli is not glorified at their expenses .

I agree she was victim and ppl related to her becoz they feel for her.Dis is necoz Gajra failed to write the pov of other two characters.After her failure to write kunal and Nandini and seeing the sympathy for mauli she started glorifying mauli on expense of other two characters.They were given shit dialogues which created more hate for both characters.Whereas mauli was given so strong dialogues and reactions obviously ppl who were already sympathising with her started feeling for her more.Whereas other two characters neither their thought process was shown nor their pov.Beside that on top of it they were shown selfish and guiltless even the ppl who wanted to know about pov started hating them more.if this is not called glorifying then what is it? Both characters are shown dumb and given repetitive dialogues.They were already weak and Gajra broke their last leg too.And result is except mauli no other character in the show is relateable.

No matter what they showed for Kunal and Nandini, they would've got criticised anyway. That's what happens in EMA stories, they get bashing.

Screenspace wise, I think they try to distribute it fairly between all 3 leads. It's not just about one persons POV, it's about 3 lives which are entwined together because of their emotions and decisions. That's how I see it.

The show works in pieces and at least for me, Mauli is one of those characters which should be in a better written show. Also, Aditi is SO believable - even if Mauli's emotions aren't focused on, her emotions are very clear to the audience. She understands Mauli that well which works in the characters favour big time!

I agree with this thing that aditi is good in playing mauli no doubt in it .I believe all three actors are doing really good job whatever they are given to perform.Unlike others here i hv no complaints from any actor .But i disagree with you thing that in EMA stories other two characters necessarily will get bashing .I watched Hasratein and Savi and KT were Grey characters there and they were loved by audience at that time because their pov and monologues were relatable.Their characters were developed properly and their pov were expressed properly so people were able to relate to such characters.Ppl hv sympathy for KT wife too but all characters were equally appreciated.But Silsila is shit served in name of EMA show.Both Kunal and Nandini hv no thought process no proper pov and no monologues.They are always talking shit and you just cringe to watch them on your tv.

The thing is there was no social media during Hasratein otherwise most EMA couples would get some sort of gaalis! But yeh Hasratein was very realistic, as much as I can remember.

With Kunal & Nandini, they brought divine powers in to it which so wasn't needed. They went wrong in that execution but during that time Mauli didn't have much to do either. She was clueless! At that time there was no glorification of Mauli, it's just that they failed badly with developing the Kunal and Nandini's feelings for each other.

I m saying the same thing Gajra failed to write the mature story of EMA .She just rushed the story don't know why but she never showed emtional Bond between kunal and Nandini.They made it worse by bringing God angle.More than live itis shown kind of lust bw two.For seeing that if characters are relatable to audience i look up to my mom.My mom use to love Savi and KT in Hasrateein and was fan of that show.But when she watches Silsila she only give gaalis to nandini and kunal and called it Bakwas show.Show should hv subtance that even audience should relate to all characters of show.If Savi has some flaws then other side was also shown to which ppl were able to relate but here nandibi and kunal hv nothing offer.
