I did answer your questions, unless I am losing my marbles. The characters in the show are happy to overlook the faults of Kunal and am glad I only just came online now as the new OLV backs my point up yet again. Mauli has happily given the cheater another chance whilst he is roaming around imagining Nandini in every girl. Radhika is a hypocrite. She believes Nandini is the witch who casted magic on her son and deserves to be curse, yet her son deserves happiness- negating any good dialogues she ever said. Both deserves equal punishments.
Equal accountability - they both happily slept together so why only blame the female? Where did I say Kunal raped her? He slept with her happily whilst he was married and held a higher burden of trust and loyalty towards his wife. Nandini was a mere friend, who had proven in the past that Mauli's feelings meant nothing to her, so why just blame Nandini via the characters of the show, was the question I was putting forth.
Also I think you have misunderstood my entire post on the assumption that I am a Nandini fan. Let me place one point foward VERY CLEALY!!! Kunal and Nandini both cheated. Kunal had wedding vows to fulfill which he chose to ignore when he slept with Nandini. Kunal's betrayal is far worst than Nandini's. I am not saying this because am a fan of either of the characters as I find them all useless, but predominately because Nandini had betrayed Mauli's trust in the past whilst Kunal was meant to be madly in love with his wife but chose to allow his libido to do its own talking. Kunal had far more to lose than Nandini. Yet Kunal is being given the option to start afresh because his mother believes he should have the right to have his old life back because his wife is now pregnant. Radhika's dialogues have no value as she has happily ignored certain parts to satisfy her happy family. Kunal has not even repented and has acted even worst since the revelation. He dragged Mauli to the mistress to show her that she meant nothing to him. So is he being given a chance, is the question am really seeking from Mauli's character.
I think there is a massive difference in how we look at marriage and friendship. We are gonna have to agree to disagree. in life some relationships mean more to us than others and some people have given us so much love that its hard to let go even when they betray us. On an another post i said how how one deal with betrayal in marriage or family in general is different than how one deal with betrayal of friendship:
In an ideal world Mouli would kick the cheaters and family would disown their kamina son.
But realistically some relationships are hard to let go. One is parents-children and another is husband-wife (or partners in general). It just is. People fight hard to save these relationships. We ignore so much pain and tolerate so much within our family that we wouldn't do otherwise.
Friendship, while a purest relationship in my eyes because its on based on blood or need or norms, is easy to leave behind. And because its not based on anything but on mutual trust and affection, its easy to loose it too. Once the trust and affection is gone, for whatever reason that might be, the friendship is gone. Friends dont even need to betray one another for the friendship to be lost. I mean we are all adults on this forum, how many friends have we lost along the way just because we left school, town, country? We can look back and smile at the fond memories but do we feel the urge to reconnect and become bffs with all of our old besties?
Marriage on the other hand is not just a relationship between two people but its also an institution, oldest and sacred one at that. It involves families and kids, and if we are being practical there are financial aspects to it (mind you, i am very aware that none of these are gonna be an issue on this show but just talking about reality). So, one cannot just dismiss the influence of family and society in a marriage. Yes, as we are evolving as society we are are getting more and more open about divorces, as we should, but working and marriage and trying to save your marriage shouldnt be seen as regressive. Why do you think, there are so many marriage counseling done these days? How many people do you know you seek marriage counseling to mend broken broken trust and relationships and compare that to people who seek "frienship counseling".
Coming back to the show, while i hate that Mouli is being so pathetic at the moment, I do understand her trying to give her marriage a second or third chance. We cant forget that Mouli and Kunal had 7 years of successful married life. So, it does make sense that she thinks maybe its just a fling. Unlike us viewers she hasnt witnessed the god awful dates sessions with "tera deewana" on the background, or how divine they think their love is. Heck, Nandini hasnt even said to Mouli that she loves Kunal. Is Mouli being desperate. Yes, of course. Is it sad to see that? yes, it frustrates me more than KuNan temple visits used to. But its not totally baseless.
Ultimately, Mouli will have to forgive Nandini, not for sake of equality or for Nandini, but for her own sanity. Mouli will have to forgive and move past it because she deserves a closure. However, forgiving Nandini doesnt mean resuming the frienship. I think friendship is one of those bonds that cant be mended once broken. Mouli and Nandinis friendship saga ends here and its best to bury it and not look back.
Btw I also dont think marriage will be same, even if Kunal does effort to mend it (apparantly he doesnt even bother to fake a smile according to new OLVs).
Conclusion: I will be furious if the show ends with Mouli and Nandini dancing on Pinga.
