The blame game has hit high in the forum, all fingers targeting Nandini. So before hitting any more stones lets analyze Nandini for a split second.
Nandini I believe has been the only SN bahu who has been a real victim of darkness, gloom and a sad lonely life. She is in a deeper pit even if u compare to Ganga.
Here is Nandini, a soft mellow girl who fell in lovw with karan but destiny tied her with ansh. Only to realize his true colors the day of her marriage. She didnt love the guy and one cant help love. Things didnt turn well and she went through a torture unparralleled to any other pain in the world. The girl was RAPED! ---One event in her life that formed the roots of her never ending tunnel. Never would those memories cease to haunt her.
Fate brought Karan back in her life, and little did she know it was to last only a few days. Come what may, the original happy go lucky nandini was lost forever after the ansh episode. Karan may have helped heal the wound but there is nothing that can eradicate it completely. Even today, despite those bygone 20 years, the wound is still fresh and I believe it will last forever. Nandini lost her real smile post ansh era leaving karan the only light in her life.
What next? she goes in coma only to open her eyes later and discover dat her beloved karan had remarried. What else? she kills that gujral guy to save her daughter-- the very same daughter who leaves no stone unturned in humiliating her! sent to jail and leaves karan to tanya so that her daughter are not lft alone. So it was nandini who was raped, went into comma, had to live through the torture of seein karan tanya thng(even if karan covered it up later), kill someone for her dotter,went to jail, lived alone for freaking 20 years!! and now comes bak to discover that her dotter thnks she is da most disgusting creature in this world!
Even ganga and tulsi havent been through this much. Atleast tulsi lived to see her kids grow, despite the last 20 year leap. Tulsi had people with her, dere was baa dere was karan but who did nandini have-----who????? dont say aseem dat doesnt count!!! Ganga despite the 20 year separation atleast has her kids who if not anything respect her and lets not forget "THEY DONT HATE HER" All this changed Nandini. Something in her has died and drawn curtains which I doubt will ever open đ
Today if she blames Eku, its not b/c she wants to its how it has all been framed. Today if she stops Laksh from meeting kt, its b.c she knoes dat dis wound wont be healed no matter how muh he tries. A word or two by laksh wont fast forward what happened. Laksh was right when he said "KT sab sey door jaa chuki hai, mujh sey bhi" so did nandini. a very integral part of them has died and dis cant be ever relived . u die once and u live once. Gone are da days of 'nak chiri KT" just like nandini.
