it is not tecahing anything

it is aimless show which do not give anything to the society

not even a good simple cute love story.

The best and most honest post on this forum I read till now.
Keeping aside the love for actors playing the roles, for once lets see it only in the perspective of fictional characters though these characters exist in real world.
After watching this serial I wonder which wife would a help a friend even for her life.
And the hard work your wife is doing for you is only because of true love she has for you. But you toss it like garbage and fall for the next gorgeous girl you meet.
Even then I can understand Nandini if she falls for a caring Kunal but I can't empathise with Kunal ever

OMG so much anger 😲 I am not sure y u feel Mauli is being tortured. Yes Kunal is a little laid back but to call him Nikhamma is taking things too far. So far I guess its barely 1 week since Kunal quit his job. Its not like he has been sitting at home his entire life leeching off his wife. Also its Mauli's fault for taking up more jobs. Who is stopping her from having a heart felt frank discussion with Kunal, explain the financial constraints. Its not like Kunal forced her to work more so that he can relax at home. It was her decision so stop blaming Kunal. Also if u go by same logic what about stay at home women who dont work & depend on their fathers/brothers/husbands to support them. Will u call them also nikhammas?

Reg staying in the same hosp & fight, its just not how it works in corporate world. A single emp cant change the way an org works. Reg Mauli doing all the work, in many episodes Kunal is shown to be helping Mauli. Most of their scenes happen in the kitchen. Mauli's MIL keeps making Mauli to eat & not skip her meals. Reg Sat it was agreed bet Kunal & Mauli that it ll be their ME or rather WE time. Kunal did call up Mauli. It was Mauli who dint turn up at the last min. Wanting to spend quality time with spouse/family is not a sin. In fact Mauli is indeed a workaholic & tats not exactly good in the long run. It ll take a toll on her physical & mental well being. BTW romancing on the terrace was Mauli's idea not Kunal's. Also what makes u assume tat ONLY Mauli cooks. So far they ve shown her prepare BF. Its quite possible tat her MIL takes care of lunch, dinner. Or they do it together. Your post has lots of assumptions without any base evidence!

Reg Kunal-Nandini relationship can every1 please stop passing judgement. The track is yet to start. No1 knows wat the CVs ve in store. So can every1 plz stop cursing Kunal & Nandini as if they are already rolling around in bed. Making such comments r v premature when the show is just 2 weeks old & Kunal-Nandini are yet to become friends or even interact on a regular basis.

This post is taking feminism to extremes. Cooking or taking care of family is not a sin. I do it, scores of women all over the world do it. Yes we take more work. But things are changing slowly at least in urban middle class. And wat bt millions of women who stay at home & dont earn. Should men start complaining y they need to slog, earn for the entire family. Its not a competition. Society is still evolving. This post is too judgemental & hasty...

Whatever way they justify it...there is no justification for Kunal. By going down the affair route...they are basically justifying that its ok if your wife is too busy with her job that you have an extra marital affair. This thought is super regressive and its true that it happens...but I really hope they don't try and show Kunal in the right.

Also Nandini is a victim. She is in no condition to have feelings for anyone. If anything, being in a relationship at a point before she is completely healed and ready, after knowing what she has gone through, is taking advantage of her. No one can fault her for misplaced feelings, its a psychological way of coping.

From whats being showcased so far, I have a feeling they'll try and justify Kunal/ Nandini and try to justify it as a 'circumstance' and how 'the man couldnt help himself, his wife was too busy for him' and this kind of thinking and glorifying of an affair is toxic.

In shows like this 'packaged' as something different, its important to show different. A story I would like to watch is Mauli & Nandini...two strong women overcoming the odds.

What I'm afraid to see is justification of Kunal & Nandini's love story at the cost of Mauli's and Nandini's character. For too long on tv, the assasination of strong female working women has been going on. Modern thinking career women are showcased negatively, as 'chasing careers' or 'not giving time to their husbands' and so on. Feelings can be wrong, as I said Nandini is in no mental state to be in any kind of romantic relationship, Kunal starting one up would be taking advantage.

What needs to be shown is Nandini getting professional help and support. An abused character having an extra marital affair with her bestfriends husband...its a slap in the face to abused women whose struggles should not be cheapened to being the women having affairs with someone else's. It happens in real life, but its not love. Its taking advantage of someone who is a victim.

I honestly hope to see something different as the star cast is so strong.

Hi. I am new here and this is my first post. Seeing the interesting discussion here, I felt like penning down my 2 cents. I feel it is too early to jump into any conclusions and we have seen too less to make any assumptions. As of now I don't think Mauli is being treated unfairly or that she is getting the shorter end of the stick. Her struggle is real and something that most men and women go through in this world. I feel each person's capacity to 'give' in a relationship is different. It may seem like Mauli is contributing more now, it could be Kunal tomorrow. So I see no point in measuring and comparing.

Bang on post

As for Kunal- Nandini and how they are going to come close to each other, I can't help but feel a little worried that the makers may go down the cliched route.

The guy being bitten by the saviour syndrome and trying to find his worth by saving a damsel in distress and thus reaffirming the sterotype that having an independent, self-sufficient and capable woman as wife is definitely something to be proud of but ultimately the man needs to be the saviour-provider-leader in a relationship and will fall for the damsel in distress.

And like someone else mentioned on this thread, Nandini is probably too messed up emotionally to figure out right and wrong and Kunal may seem like a godsend to her, having lived with a monster. So Kunal is the one who will end up getting butchered if they go down this route in this manner.

I would much rather have Kunal getting drawn to Nandini seeing her grit and determination and her courage to fight the cruelty and injustice happening to her. For that to happen, the makers to need to give us more of Nandini and I am hoping they will. Also, no matter how it happens, it is going to be shitty for Mauli. It's always shitty for the person being cheated on. So we will have to brace ourselves for that.

My simple question to you.. Why should this TV serial or any TV serial teach you anything? Why do you look upto a TV serial to teach you moral values? So many films and shows are made based on smugglers, dons, murderers, psychopaths, underworld.It doesnt mean whoever goes to watch them is going to become a murderer, psychopath or drug peddler right? I think the audience is wise and old enough to differentiate right from wrong. Same with this show too. Audience is wise enough to know what is right and wrong. Nobody laps up anything blindly. And most importantly nobody watches hindi TV serials for learning anything. They watch it for entertainment purpose and if it doesnt entertain then then channel change and switch onto another show.. thats how it works. I advice you also to not look upto TV serials for moral life lessons. Read about noble and great people and how they helped the world if you do want to learn good things and lesson in life.
