yea you are right, he said it before and at the time, thought the CVs were coming from a "all is fair in love and war" kind of thinking but it seems like that actually wasn't that they meant. this time, he gave a whole list of negatives about their relationship but again he insists that their love isn't dirty and they aren't wrong and no one has the right to judge them.
@whyhate, @pamk06 -- rather than morally right or wrong, my thought was that kunal is coming from a very different angle when he says "their love isn't wrong". now, we really need kunal's backstory but the way the CVs cut their scenes with the scenes at home was a bit strange because the mom's reaction stood out in super, stark contrast.
when mouli says divorce, the mom seems to not only expect such an action but she actually seems to silently approve it. there is no word to discourage her and neither is there any hurt or disappointment. instead, it is dadi who gives those reactions. then when dadi asks mouli to forgive kunal and give their marriage a second chance, kunal's mom looks like she wants to throw something. she is very disapproving, tsking, annoyed and gritting her teeth -- again, aren't those really strange reactions if she is his mom?
so that makes me think that kunal is rather referencing himself to his own parents situation. often our view of relationships is based on experience or what we observe at home. so in this case, what exactly did kunal observe and experience in his own parents relationship? think what he means by "they aren't wrong" is that they are willing to own their choices and take responsibility for their actions and therefore, this love is not tainted. he actually seems much more confident and very self-assured now with nandini like he knows exactly what he wants and what he is going to do. there is no second guessing himself.
also in the scene where he comforts nandini, wondered if it was more than instinct that he wasn't startled by nandini's meltdown. instead, he seemed very much in his comfort zone like he has seen this kind of behaviour before and knows exactly what to do...
so back to my theory, I am leaning more and more that kunal's mom is actually his stepmom and something happened with their marriage and his biological mother. he married mouli who is more like his stepmom but perhaps his biological mother may have been closer to nandini and hence, he knows exactly what to do to calm her down and also seems more confident and comfortable...
the CVs seem determined to give us clues in bits and pieces and so we might be really surprised when kunal's backstory comes out. perhaps, it will frame this affair far differently than how viewers read it...
