Besides Ekta doing her best to exagerate the emotions of her characters, I think if one were to go through the suffering Mukti has mostly by Prem initially using Karan, then Prem himself turning her down and showing his true self, and now she being raped by Sharad. If one were to go through such sadness I would suppose them to cry for quite-a-bit unless you are Gertrude from Hamlet.😳
Also I really don't think she is actually cring for half-an-hour. I mean I would suppose it to be for like 15 some minutes streched longer to make it seem lengthy. As a matter a fact I really don't know how you could time or assume she is crying for half-an-hour.😕
Anyways I believe your point was they cry to much but I really don't think they over-cry. I think Ekta has made them cry and mourn enough for their sadness.😆
