It is on personal ethics. My best friend is also Nandini we were friends from childhood she also went through a bad marriage got divorced. I got married after her divorce. She even stayed with us for sometime. But she never would have thought of this.
She is married to another nice person and now lives with a lovely daughter.
But there are people like Nandini who gets selfish and greedy and cannot look beyond her own needs.
Nandini is a grey character not even black bcz if black she would have told Mauli I am having an affair with your husband.
Their love will progress fast to physical intimacy soon my take and Mauli has to know or else story will not pick up.

I am not surprised that nandini again chose a man over her mouli who is her BFF.. Mouli has always supported her and was there for her , the friendship was stronger just from her moulis side... Nandini at first chose Rajdeep over mouli and now Kunal .. I think for nandini it has always been friendship of convenience like she will remember mouli only when she's in some trouble or stuff rest she will chose men over mouli any day. .

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...


Point well put. I would very much like to see the moment reality hits her hard. I think Rajdeep will bring that moment for her. This guy is still capable of bringing worst out of her with his words. Nandini's worst at this point is her guilt and the fact that she is wrong in this.

Let's just say everyone doesn't think the same about motherhood. It's a very personal thing and no one can dictate an opinion on this matter. For some women yearn to experience the motherhood right from conceiving the child.
You are entitled to have your opinion but others won't think the same no matter how worst off position they are in.
For some, child brings hope even if they know it will be difficult to sustain with a child. Look at so many mothers who decided to give birth to a child even when they were at their worst and it was the best decision they ever took and they don't regret it despite the hardships they had to endure. Neena Gupta is a perfect example of it.
Motherhood is a very strong instinct much more powerful than any other instinct in the world.

yes i have seen children giving meaning to life.
Many friends tell me their life was nothing before children.

Still i think nandini was thinking about her happiness if she will have the child and not thinking about the child's well being.
I m 100 % sure nandini dint think about what will happen to the child.
Just like she never thinks about anyone else.
Its not only mauli who she will betray.
She will betray dadi and kunal's mom too.
Mauli's mom will also be devasted seeing her daughter's state..

I would say back then Nandini was naive, indecisive and immature and now she is selfish.

Here nandinis character failed the most. Agar ye nandini ka asli roop hai fir show ke starting me jo nandini mauli ke liye tadapti thi wo kon thi? Maybe uss time wo takleef me thi iss liye mauli ko yaad kar rahi thi.par jo aapke liye itna kuch kar chuka ho aapke liye duniya se ladd gaya ,aapko pyaar respect,ghar me rakha khana diya apka self-confidence wapas dilane me aapki madad ki most important jis insaan ne aapki zindagi banayi usiki zindagi aap barbaad kar rahe ho kyun? If u cant live without men to koi dusra dhund leti mauli ka hi husband kyun..mauli ne nandini ko rajdeep se bachaya naa hota to ab tak nandini ya to marr gayi hoti ya fir rajdeep ke jutey kha rahi hoti..nandini jaisa selfish friend koi deserve nahi karta

Nobody gives their so much money time and support to anyone.
Mauli faced wrath of rdeep.
Most of the women will be scared to go against a person like rdeep.
Fight criminals ,society and her flat people.
In most of the cases people like rdeep destroy the one who is helping.

So i think mauli sacrificed selflessly .

Nandini se ek mahine ka attraction bhi sambhala nhi gaya for mauli.

Everyone is saying apne bff ko cheat karna galat hai par agar nandini n mauli friends naa hoti wo ek dusre ko jante bhi nahi to kya tab bhi married man ke saath affair karna thik hota?

The question has been raised in the post about how women do this to other women even when they feel the same on being cheated upon.

Nandini is not just doing disservice to another woman but to a friend; and not just any friend but that friend who went out of the way to help her out of the mess she was in. Not just helped her out but took her into her home, emotionally supported her, encouraged her to work, helped her to have her own place to stay, etc.

What is unfortunate is that there were many people who warned Mauli not to go this extent for a friend; that this will come back to bite her and that friendship isn't worth the risk. Mauli, of course, never paid heed to the naysayers but stood by her friendship and did all that she could for her friend. But Nandini, by giving into her desires, has unfortunately proved those people right. This is sad because in a way, this story is trying to say that one should be cautious of giving importance to friendship and with helping a friend or just any woman in need.
