What's her project? She has to present an EMA where none is wrong or bad, so the wife can't be wrong nor the other woman, wife does not lack anything, but this writer has difficulties presenting POV of male characters, most of her male characters are dummies, where she uses them to glorify female characters, like there was no need for Rajdeep in this show, Rajdeep or say domestic violence is the white part of Nandini, whenever Nandini does something black, Rajdeep scene is added to compensate so the end result is grey but the problem is repetitive and illogical use of Rajdeep, the dude does nothing, I am not saying he should do something but just think about it, after Nandini came out of his house, he has done absolutely nothing, he's only active to balance Nandini's acts, he's not dangerous, we all know Kunal will save Nandini and if Kunal is not available Nandini will hit him with a stick, the guy is a joker not a villain, domestic violence and rape though heinous here Kunal who's so in love with Nandini, didn't even think about filing a domestic violence case against Rajdeep.
Development and behavior of characters depend on their past, here the problem with writer is that she can't present an inclusive show, where characters are intertwined, stories which are supposed to be parallel to each other are standalone, Nandini and Kunal's love story in no point includes that Mauli is a part of their life that's one story and other story is where Mauli is a part of their life and they are having an EMA, that's not how it works does it?
Nandini as a character is not grey, I know people love saying that she's grey but not for the writer, writer is presenting her as white as Mauli, the EMA part is Mauli's story and the love part is Nandini's story, in EMA Nandini is guilty but the reflection is not present in her love story and this is the problem, the consistency is not there because Nandini is lead in one story and Mauli is lead in another story but the show is not about love story of KuNan, it's about EMA, we can't separate KuNan love story from Mauli.
For us the show is about EMA and KuNan story is an affair not love, so the writer is giving her dialogues according to a normal love story, imagine a victim of domestic violence falling in love with a man, declaring her love for him in front of her abusive husband, a big development, no? If you take one part of Nandini's life and omit Mauli from it, her dialogues are as strong as Mauli's dialogues, But Nandini is not declaring her love for a random man but for a married man, who's married to her best friend, that's why I think the writer is not able to present Nandini with all her layers, KuNan love is repulsive, I don't think you can build your house on ruins of someone's home.
Now come to the scene in the hospital, that scene wasn't for Nandini, Nandini and Kunal were just a part of it, the scene was for Mauli, Mauli had to see that Nandini had replaced her so what she saw was that Nandini is repeating the same dialogues to doctor that Mauli said to Nandini when Kunal had that bridge accident, in this scene Nandini reaction was astonishing, it wasn't like she's in love with Kunal but Kunal is her sanak, her junoon, Mauli saw her junoon for Kunal and this chapter will close then and there, Nandini accepting herself as Mrs Kunal Malhotra is not part of Nandini's past as a character but it will be a part of Mauli's past, this was for Mauli and Mauli only from Writer's perspective, Writer was given a job to show a positive EMA, Rajdeep failed now who better than the wife itself to justify their affair?
