I agree that Nandini was dealt a heavy blow in life, married to a monster like Rajdeep and having no parents and family in the world. She is alone and fragile, and weak because she literally does not have an identity in this world and there are millions of girls like her in India who are in the same boat as hers. So I get her character, I get why she is so submissive and demure and I even understand her attraction to Kunal. Kunal is her savior or her hero and he is endowed with the best qualities a husband should have until he falls out of love and starts cheating. So I don't blame her for getting swayed away and her liking. What I do blame her is living in a dreamland, playing the damsel in distress and cheating on Mauli with Kunal. Everything Nandini has, she has gotten from Mauli. She doesn't have one paisa to her name, she was homeless and trapped until Mauli came to her rescue. Mauli provided her with shelter, gave her confidence, freed her from Rajdeep and when Nandini decided to leave Mauli's home to preserve "Mauli's marriage", she made Mauli pay for a new apartment for her. Mauli did not even hesitate while no one in this real world would be that helpful to her. She is not only financially dependent on Mauli but entirely dependent, if it wasn't for Mauli no one would help or respect her and that's the ugly truth of lndian society. So how can Nandini be so ehsaan faramosh? Mauli is supposed to do everything for her and forget about repaying, but she is set out to destroy her marriage? This is not friendship, this is plain selfishness which Nandini is full of. Mauli is not obliged to help her out, she still did it out of love for her friend, tried to always keep her happy and take her out. Mauli is like a ray of sunshine in Nandini's life while Nandini is a dark cloud who will ruin Mauli's life. I think Nandini is secretly jealous of Mauli, that Mauli is independent and happy, is a successful doctor and both her families love her while nobody loves Nandini. I don't want to delve into KuNan, just focusing on Mauli and Nandini. No matter what happens, what twists and turns CV's will put in this story, the truth will be that while Mauli did everything for Nandini, Nandini repayed her having an EMA with Kunal. The EMA which they try to play it as pavitra and destined but just reeks of selfishness and lust. Nandini can say and think all the time that she loves Mauli and doesn't want to hurt her but actions speak louder than words and while Mauli has shown numerous times her love for Nandini, Nandini cannot even show one time. She can never do anything for Mauli and that's why I despise her character. It's all about Nandini and her tragic life but nothing about the angel who saved her.
