I have though well and hard about this. Many modern day young girls and women want to have jobs and earn their own money instead of sitting at home only catering to our family's demands and doing chores. We all want to increase our self-worth this way. Mauli in fact represents many women nowadays, who wants to try and balance a career, with making her husband and in-laws happy and still have a social life with friends. This is the quintessential modern day woman. All about wanting everything, but maintaining a balance of all this, but often we find it hard, and one thing takes priority over the other sometimes, or something such as our partner or in-laws may be displeased and complain feeling that your not giving enough time as a woman to your husband or the house. The latter can happen and create problems in a woman's personal life.
Mauli's life is the above description to a 'T'. Mauli wanted to help kunal in his dream, whilst he sat lazily at home, so mauli was the one putting in the hours at work to make his dream happen, and justifiably giving less time at home and to kunal, but when mauli wanted to give time to kunal as she realised she and him hadn't been spending as much time together, he began rejecting her because by this time kunal behind her back whilst mauli was working had already started feeling that mauli wasn't giving him enough time and had been using his own time sat at home in just thinking about his wife's friend who does nothing with her life other than dress up and cook, in contrast to busy-bee mauli.
This can happen to any woman, and it isn't even a woman's fault, because for centuries this has been happening to women, that men go to work all day, whilst we sit at home waiting for them and they give us less time, but most of us never thought about cheating our partners now, did we?
It's always men who get to use this excuse for cheating and people around the girl will also blame the girl regardless of whether they do feel sympathy for her or not, and they'll advice her she should have concentrated on her husband and not career or they'll say it's understandable for him to cheat if his wife isn't giving him enough time because apparently this is a man's nature to look elsewhere and cheat, and somehow think men can't be blamed for being disloyal by giving this excuse, yet if a woman cheated on her partner for the same reason, nobody would give a damn or give the same lecture to the cheated husband that he should have gave more time to his wife. The woman will be blamed in both situations.
On the other hand, we also have the typical to real life situation where the in-laws want their cheated daughter-in-law to work things out with their cheating husband, lecture the hell out of her, and emotionally blackmail her into forgetting the betrayal to forgive her husband, and false hope is also often given to the DIL that she can men the ways of her husband. As usual even in real life, a woman either feels pressured or people's words give a woman hope that just because he cheated her doesn't mean he doesn't love her anymore and that he might have just been swayed for a little. This happens in real life all the time in this situation, and just like in real life, mauli has left her self-respect to try and get her husband back, as neither she or her in-laws know the extent to the affair, as in how emotionally involved he is with the other woman, given that physical cheating doesn't most of the times mean a man has emotionally cheated his wife and still wants to be with the wife.
The way kunal's family and mauli's family as a result is behaving is totally natural and realistic, especially given when the wife is an emotional person and not some short-tempered and immature person, but someone like mauli who is usually bubbly, not short-tempered and a positive person but also very sensitive at the same time.
Like everyone else, I am upset to see mauli forget her self-respect to get kunal back, but it wasn't this bad before she found out she was pregnant. I think the realisation hasn't yet hit her that she can take care of the child herself and be a single mother. Maybe this realisation will come once the writer's are done with writing these kind of scenes where they show mauli running after kunal and being insulted by him, because writer's think this will get them ratings.
