Based on those and Kunal's attitude in today's episode, he is going to be with Nandini, unless of course Nandini says no to it, but that looks doubtful. And with Rajdeep still on the lose (the restraining order is not really restraining him LOL!) I don't think Kunal will abandon her.
I want her to abandon Kunal. That should be her character trait that they showed us. His character trait is to not let her go and fight for her, especially as he is giving away so much for her and is now committed to her. If she tells him and go, he will never let her go so she has to do it without telling him thus breaking him and herself as they broke Mauli. May be it will happen after the whole "society shaming them with Rajdeep help" episodes that they will be showing us now (Gosh, how I hate those) Hopefully they show her journey of redemption and not to the mental hospital😆
Now, sharing my thoughts and observations about today's episode here. You guys, please feel free to comment and share your thoughts.
Mauli kept passing test after test of trust, while Kunal and Nandini were busy blowing the same trust to smithereens. The makers really rubbed it in by showing a distraught Mauli coming close to doubting the two most important people in her life, but immediately stopping herself and berating herself for it. Aditi was really good today!! Such a nuanced portrayal of Mauli's conflicting thoughts, fears and vulnerabilities. She didn't have a lot of scope to present her acting capabilities earlier, but today I was surprised by her performance.
Mauli's refusal to doubt them initially was keeping in line with her character (she loves fiercely and trusts fiercely) but somewhere I also felt that deep down she feared that that if she starts acting on her suspicion then it would become true. Practically and logically though, she did have every reason to doubt them.
Seriously, that girl is so trusting. My heart was breaking for her today and for the innocence that would be robbed from her for ever. I guess she was in denial mode and as I said earlier, it had to be red-handed for her to believe. But, as you say, it was in line with her character.I do admire her self-control though. I would have checked my husband's phone and I do that regularly even though I have no reason to doubt him. Here the red -flag was kicking her in the face and still she decides to trust him. She was totally in denial mode.
Lesson learned, do not trust a person so much that it blinds you to everything. I think, that clinic would be her journey. She would open it for herself and her in-laws will support her
Moving on, I am not sure what to think of Nandini's guilt. Her guilt was triggered all of a sudden, because, with the previous day's happenings, she sensed that Mauli was looking at them differently, not because she was affected by how much Mauli loves Kunal and that losing Kunal would be devastating for her.
And she also clearly said , " hum jaante hai hum usse dhoka de rahe hai which amounts to an acknowledgement that she is aware of what she is doing, but she's too deeply involved to turn back or retract.
<font color="#000099">Even I was surprised , that she was guilty because she thought Mauli might have a doubt of their realtionship, not for breaking Mauli's house. I was like "What, where is Nandini and who is this person" Total character assassination. I guess this is the gap that we were cribbing about. Where is that conversation, where they have made peace with the fact that, they know they might break Mauli's heart and are Ok with it. Frankly, they have changed her character completely. I think they are going the insecure, mental illness route. (Hopefully they stick to the original plot else mujhe usse ek</font>from an abused women to a<font color="#000099">strong career women , dekne ka sapna, sapna hi reh jayega😠)</font>
Kunal continues to baffle me. When he is with Nandini, he acts as though he almost resents Mauli, there is absolutely no acknowledgement of the fact that he is doing wrong to her. When he said, he wouldn't have been able to lie more if Mauli had questioned him again , I was slightly taken aback by the defiance reflecting on his face. It actually looked like his marriage with Mauli had been a complete disaster and that he resented her, so he doesn't really care how Mauli reacts to it. This guy is extremely confusing, so if you guys have a different interpretation of this please tell me.
I saw it a little differently. I think he is not used to lying or deceiving and in his own words he cannot so if Mauli would have confronted him, he would have admitted to his feelings.</font>
<font color="#000099">I think the moment he decided to confess to Nandini, he broke all his relationship with Mauli in his heart. I do not think he is even thinking, in terms of marriage or years with Mauli.. That all happened before the confession in the "Kyun kunal kyun" phase. As soon as he decided, from that point on, nothing matters to him other than his feelings for Nandini. Currently,Nandini is his world and for her, he can go to any lengths. His feelings are intense and the intensity was shown to us thrice, first was confession and second time in the garden (where he was going to take step back but could not), and third was his fight with Rajdeep.
Again,that missing conversation would have been the key to understand why he decided to play this hide and seek game. Might be because he did not want to hurt Mauli because when Mauli was telling him about her feelings and fear, he did look shock and disturbed, not in the sense that his feelings are wrong for Nandini, but in the sense that he is doing wrong to Mauli. Now, we will never know.
If they stick to the original plan, then his redemption would have been his separation from Nandini and his family like KANK but now as they made this Mauli's story, I think once, truth is revealed to Mauli, he might get a big reality check of what he is done and then his bubble will burst and he will start regretting his decision regarding Nandini. Like his friend he might try to reconcile.
I was a little irritated by the heavy build up of suspense, but it was an eventful episode. The makers really went all out on this one. They even brought that good old friend of Kunal whom he had lectured once for cheating on his wife. And that guy who apparently has corrected his ways now, somehow plays a part in Mauli actually finding out about KuNan, and all this happening under the watchful eyes of Lord Ganesha. Sweet Karma? Irony of life? Makers trying to redeem themselves? My God! They have to have the God element in everything!!😆
They were killing time. They had to build four one-hour episode instead of half an hour, and they can only do only so many scenes in a day especiallyas they are almost cut to cut with shootings. Hence so many editing glitches. Hence we were seeing all these dances etc as that is easy then scene-shoot and can cover more time in the episode.
Now coming to the impractical thing that can happen only in daily soaps. A man and a woman hugging in the middle of a religious festival and that too in this day and age where people are so eager to capture everything on their mobile phones.😃
I also wonder how Kunal never gets paranoid about Mauli checking his phone. He never worried about stuff like that. And Nandini also has never worried about Mauli picking her call or reading her messages on Kunal's phone. How illogical and impractical is that? But no point talking about it now, as the cat is already out of the bag.
Even I was thinking the same thing, They have been so lenient in their conversations, meetings etc. One is so careful when they are doing EMA. I have seen people do what not, to cover themselves, Buying separate phones, change the name on the contact list is the bare minimum but here, it was like they did not care. May be because it was God-Blessed, they knew they will be savedand the irony, as soon as he tells I would have told Mauli the truth, God blesses them with the opportunity.🤣. On a serious note, I did like the whole revelation scene that they did. Very symbolic.
We should now get ready for Mauli's wrath now and Kunal's seena-thaan-ke proclamation of his love for Nandini. Seriously, this man has no conflicting emotions!! Its like, all those years of his life with Mauli was washed out the moment he fell for Nandini.
@bold: I hope it so huge that its break these two to the core.
@bold2: If he does not admit his mistake, then he would be biggest coward in ITV.
@bold3: We will start seeing them now once Mauli kicks him out of his life.
