Hi Jyo! Long time. :) Your post (and the Amir Khan DP) brought back such wonderful memories.
As always, a brilliant analysis of the good and the bad of the show. After ages I have started watching a show, mainly for the two wonderful actresses...especially Drashti .
I hope they maintain the essence of the one relationship with which they began the show, which is the friendship between these two girls, and the strength of their bonding in spite of the trials and tribulations that come their way because of the other relationships they have.
At this stage, Nandini seems to be stuck in the vortex of this so-called marriage wherein she is enabling Raj's sadism by taking whatever he is throwing at her. She is not even trying to get out of this abusive relationship, where she is treated like a mannequin by Raj, to his ends. I agree with you that two weeks down the show, we get the nature of the relationships, and that repetition of Raj's maniacal behaviour is getting to rattle. However, the meekest of the woman can find the strength to face the devil when her child is threatened. So I assume, this will be the first turning point of Nandini's life, when she will take the big leap to break out of her passivity and her violent life, triggered by the fear of the safety of her unborn child.
Just a speculation: Nandini's saviour...her best friend's husband...a husband who has shown signs, even though very faint ones, of feeling lack of something in his relationship with his wife. Nandini's on-the-face presence in their lives might just shake the foundation of this marriage.
