For me friendship is the best relationship. One of the purest one. Actually that is one relationship where u actually get to choose Other relationships no doubt imp are mostly given to u by birth.
There are some things u can share only with ur close friends not even parents.

I don't think it is about one relationship being stronger or weaker than the other. At the end of the day, we are all needy creatures, and our actions are often guided by our own needs, needs that we don't even realize that we have. And they keep changing with time and depending on the circumstances in our life. Today, I may need the support of a friend badly, more than anything else. Tomorrow I may be craving for the love of a parent, and the day after I may be wanting the intimacy that only a partner/companion can offer.
Nandini, in her need for emotional and physical intimacy and acceptance from a partner is overlooking her friendship at the moment. Nandini had rejected Mauli once before, when she had to choose between a friend and a companion. Maybe that is how Nandini's character is. For her, the love, support and initmacy that only a partner can give is more important than the support that a friend can offer. It is not entirely wrong to be that way, as long as you are not betraying the people who have stood by you in your time of need.

It baffles me too as to why M is not N's priority ever... hasn't it always been just a one way commitment of friendship from Mauli's side so far... I can't recall one incident where Nandini has come to Mauli's aid emotionally or physically... I don't know if this is even called friendship since the very relation is a two way street which has sadly been missing in their equation...

I am really appalled by what is being shown here in the name of right emotions honestly...i know we've had a hearty laugh with the whole juzzbaat sahi galat angle but really to come to think of it...
Nandini has never been for Mauli ever... Even now she is going to be one of the two people Mauli will be severely battered and bruised emotionally for.
As bizzare as Kunaal is I still cant wrap my head around the fact that all it took for Nandini to eschew with her morals and dump her friendship with mauli was a pink suited guy who is her saviour cum best frend'ss husband to declare his 2 days love for her forgetting his more than a half a decade of love for his wife...and that man is appealing and more precious than Mauli For N... 🤔
I guess birds of the same feather flock together...


Same.
When I talked to one of my best friend's Boyfriend, my first question to him was if he was a virgin and this I did right in front of her. Till date, we have a hearty laugh of that incident.
She doesn't get insecure when I talk to him sometimes because she trusts him and me very much and it becomes my official, sacred duty to protect that trust of hers.
If we ever talked to each other's crushes in past, we would legit share snapshots of the chat by ourselves to show each other what we were talking about and then laugh about it. And there was another friend of ours who couldn't be trusted with any guy and she was gradually kicked out.
That's the friendship for us. I know every detail of ber relationship and well she chooses guys for me every now and then since I am commitment phobic. 😆
But it can only be done when you know you are right.

Last time it was fine because Mauli was hurt only as a friend, this time it would be as a wife, as a friend and a woman cheated by another close woman Wbo knew her worst fears.

Friendship is one of the most beautiful relationship. It is a blessing to have a friend like Mauli who stands by her friend through thick and thin,who doesn't think twice before helping her friend. Friendship is that bond where you can just share anything with your friend when you feel your family doesn't understand you. Of course there are some unwritten rules in friendship as well, when broken can permanently break and damage even the strongest bond. People at times take friendships for granted and ruin their own friendship,they'll realize it when it's too late.

Agreed.
There was a time I used to undermine it but now I have been blessed with few friends who make an important part of my life.

Ofcourse ! I am not saying that her need justifies her action. It doesn't ! Just trying to understand what made her do it.

The friendship between them was to me a very crucial part in this show.
I always thought the writers would weave the story around this, which meant N would
not backstab her best friend with her man. Alas, she did and their
friendship thrown out without a second thought. How sad 😭
It seems like the friendship has been mostly from Mauli's side & Very less from N
Truly what a mockery to the saying " A friend in need is a friend indeed "

Thanks for this post 😃

That makes me think that does Nandini need a friends only when she is in problem, when it's time to payback, she would
turn her back on her. That makes her a very selfish friend, which everyone hates or dislikes.

Well, this Nandini totally contradicts Nandini of initial episodes.

Makers have ruined 2 characters just to start an affair so quickly. It's Mauli's turn next.

am not sure if being a woman means one is not prone to selfishness and thinking only about ourselves. there is a reason why indian movies always say sometimes a woman's worst enemy is another woman -- they usually say this in reference to mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relations but it still applies to pretty much other relationships as all...

as for your question, why nandini is not thinking of mouli and others? well, I am reminded of this old show where the main character (who was super annoying) goes on and on about her mindless problems. then the other person responds -- "do you think you are the only one with problems? take a look around. yours are so petty in comparison. why are your problems more important?" and the character responds "because they are mine."

and that pretty much explains nandini -- at this moment, her needs and her problems are her first priority. it is either her or others and she is choosing herself. she has been starved of affection for years and so is not completely rational.

lots of people get into ridiculously stupid relationships simply because they have no one at home to give them affection -- so they fall prey to notorious characters and then get into trouble. if you read the news stories of girls who were exploited and sold into sexual trafficking, many of these articles have a similar vein -- starved for affection, they fall for the first guy who came along and he turned out to be a villain...

the more interesting question is what will happen when nandini wakes up from this dream? at some point reality is going to hit for both kunal and nandini. then we will see how this love story falls out...
