I see; and please excuse my ignorance... have seen this reference to radha also pop up in other posts. is this because the CVs have made some subtle hints (like the divine angle?) or is it just a cultural reading by some viewers?



CVs didn't show a parallel between Radha Krishna, some KuNan fan used them to justify Kunal, it's weird how people belittle their relationship for a show, Radha-Krishna love wasn't love between two individuals but love between God and Soul, Krishna left Vrindavan when he was 10 and never returned, he didn't meet Radha after he left Vrindavan

meera was born in the mughal era. long long after krishna's death. hence she never met krishna. it was sort of a love/attraction/devotion to a character/god

radha was krishna's childhood love. he later moved out of the city radha married someone else & krishna married rukmini & later other women and they never met again. but it is said their love was eternal but were not together. they are worshipped together. radha was never the 2nd woman she was the first one. so i dont get why nandani is compared to radha.

i dont know about the soulmate connection between radha & krishna but arjun- krishna were supposed to be soulmates . they were incarnation of nar - narayan.
that makes me ask does person have two soulmates one a romantic interest and one a purely platonic one

@charu -- sorry for asking but who is meera? (am of another faith and so not familiar with some of the characters)


Both were devotees of lord krishna but theit bhakti was different ..radha is a mythological character while meera was a rajput princess ..

My grandmom told me a story on Radha-krishna, apparently Krishna asked radha to marry him and she refused saying how can she marry herself, as she and he are one, the dynamics of their relationship are complex
Platonic soulmate is an interesting concept, Krishna and Arjun came together to establish rule of dharma on earth, perhaps that's how it works two or more than two people coming together, that explains why most of the discovery in science have been done by two people, like Watson and Crick presented DNA double helical model, Mary hunt helped Alexander Fleming in production of penicillin, or Krishna and Arjun were one of a kind

To all those people who are questioning the Radha-Krishna reference, please understand that the reference was made just to emphasize on the point that (based on an earlier episode) Nandini doesn't want to claim Kunal for herself. She had bare minimum expectations from this relationship and that it looks like she is happy with that. It does not mean that Nandini is divine like God or her love is divine or anything.

Kunal falling out of love is a better possibility than Kunal saying that all he had with Mauli was just friendship, it just means that he used her for 7 years, falling out of love does not reflect upon the partner, love is not what you have, it is something that you give ie you have to love someone to feel it. Kunal is extremely weak as a character, he says that he fought his feelings but there wasn't an honest effort from his side to work on his marriage, if he felt something was lacking in his marriage, I would have liked that one effort from his side to fill the gap, but there was none and that is the reason I don't believe his feeling for Nandini is love


kunal never tried that i agree. You remember kunal was trying to fight his feelings & at that time mauli tried introducing nandani to their college friend & trying to hook them up. How jealous he was and he was trying to discourage mauli & nandani at that time. he behaved like a jealous teenager then not like a mature man. If he did want to save their relation & wanted to let go of nandani's attraction he would have helped mauli setting nandani up because that would give nandani a partner and everything would be well. he was then not even sure of his feelings yet did not want nandani to move ahead in life. i dont know why he wanted her to be as a standby when he himself wasnt sure what he wanted. that iswhat put me off & i found kunal a extremely weak character . a sudden turn from how hi characterwas shown initially. i dont think he loves nandani. it is just attraction. otherwise he would have thought of her . not tried to ruin mauli - nandani friendship by his love advances and not tried to make her a other woman in front of society.
in between all this he has forgotten there is a divorce case pending with rajdeep and that guy can fully utilize this to malign nandani & not get the divorce done. i believe the fierce mauli was a major factor in keeping rajdeep away from nandani . now with her gone a major opponent is gone for rajdeep. the divorce proceedings are could be a mess. All because of the raging hormones of one man

@fruitytoasty -- that is a great explanation about falling out of love. it is something I have been wondering about and it explains this story better. and you do raise a valid point that he didn't make more effort to work on the marriage though he says that he fought his feelings. like you said, he could have voiced some of the things that he may have been unhappy with mouli about. if the CVs had shown that step, at least him still progressing to nandini after that would have made more sense.

re: radha/meera Q -- thanks @fruitytoasty @charu @naq5 for the clarifications and explanations.

Thank you, that was exactly what I was thinking when I wrote that. In no way, I am calling her a Radha.

Also, I think, for Nandini, the only thing left is his love and thus for her his happiness is the most important as they showed us when she was praying during the Ganesh festival. So, I do think if she does get an inkling that his happiness lies with Mauli, she will walk that path.

Anways, for Kiunal, I do feel that the angle, they are going is that he fell out of love which came out yesterday when he said that , he was happy and they were perfect but he did not realize when he turned away from her and there was emphasis on the past tense.

Having said that, do you ladies think that is that the only explanation we will be getting about Kunal perspective? That he doesn't know how it happened? Because this is the third time he is saying this, that he doesnt know how it happened, he stopped himself, he tried etc.

@pamk06 -- self realization and gaining perspective is both difficult and time consuming. often, we need the help of a 3rd party to sometimes gain an insight into our actions and behaviours. so if we look at it from that angle, it is possible that from his perspective, he really has no clue what happened. what is that phrase -- too close to the zone to make a call? well, something like that...

if we get no explanation from kunal, then it is clear from the CVs that the theme of the drama was not about discussing how emas occur but rather about the fallout of emas and how it affects all 3 people involved as well as others. so the drama might have a stronger development in that region and just leave the why explanation vague.
