@summerrain7 -- what was interesting is that it is a series of questions and each one is becoming terrible for mouli because he is confirming it with his silence. (don't exactly remember the details but just impressions; so if I get it wrong, please excuse)

she initially said something like "but we loved each other." and then it changes to "do you no longer love me?" to "did you love me at all?" and there is this kind of horror that sinks in to mouli...

in fact the only time he does respond is when he says there was nothing wrong with her which makes it 1000 times worse because he is in essence rejecting her not because he fell out of love or that she did something wrong or that her marriage was not happy. instead, it almost sounds like he was not happy in the marriage as he appeared or was just going along with the motions or chalta hai / adjust types to the relationship.so in essence, it tells her that there was nothing she could have done or changed.

also, there was another series of questions that really shook mouli. she says that her ear getting hurt is just temporary and will heal but what about the wound in her heart. she then says something like "how will we get past this?" to "how do I get past this?"... there is this dawning realization that he is not assuring her that he will be coming back...

in every question she asks, she wants kunal to reassure her but he doesn't do anything. his focus is more on her safety but at this time, he is not giving her the answers because they are going to be very tough. hopefully the CVs do a good job during that and not just leave it to stares and expressions. just like mouli, us viewers also need kunal's perspective on what exactly led him to nandini and what is this that he feels for mouli.

It all comes down to that, doesn't it? I am reminded of that other question that has tortured a lot of people over the country. Why did Kattappa kill Bahubali?😆 Now, it is, what made Kunal fall for Nandini?

That was where the makers blundered, right? Not showing them discussing Mauli or even thinking about it. We chalked it down to them being in a trance, drugged by the new-new feelings. How long we waited for them to snap out of it!! I really don't know what the makers were thinking, because that should have been the most crucial phase in my opinion, one that could have helped the audience understand their feelings and their situation better ( at least to a certain extent).

If they want to tell us a story of how even nice people, in spite of having a good married life, can sometimes find love out side of marriage and the repercussions they have to face in life, they need to fill in a lot of gaps and a lot will depend on Kunal's side of the story. But if this story is only about the repercussions of an extra-marital affair, then obviously those gaps were left intentionally and we will only get Mauli trying to rebuild her life, and KuNan suffering of regretting.

I still fee, the former is what they have wanted to show all along, but instead of giving us conversations, they stuck to the fated love story line, thinking that would suffice. But obviously it didn't. They may also have rushed, added or eliminated aspects due to TRP pressure. So the conclusion is that, Kunal's side of the story will tell us the direction this show will take.

I thought "meri jaise galti" could be the fact that they hid it from her, or it could be the relationship with Nandini itself. But I still don't think he is regretting falling for her. He just feels bad about the whole situation.

@bold. if it was supposed to be that kind of a story then It should not have been Mauli helping Nandani so much. They should have only shown Kunal coming across Nandani, helping her out of her abusive marriage and developing feelings for nandani before he came to know that nandani was mauli's friend. Mauli could have known kunal is helping a damsel in distress but not known that she is her friend. The truth that nandani is her friend and mauli is kunals wife should have come out later when they were already involved. That would have made more sense to show good hearted people fall out of love or have EM affairs. Usually in an EM affair story the wife & the EM affair woman dont have such a deep emotional connection nor does the wife has helped the other woman so much. So that is still understandable. But here the case is different. Kunal is not only breaking mauli's trust here but by having an affair with her BF is completely shattering her with no where to go. And nandani she is not only taking her husband she is snatching herself away too from nandani. They will loose only one person-mauli. But Mauli will loose two two most important people from her life . the way they are damaging her is terrible and only a thoughtless person would do that to someone they care and love for.

This story is already a mess . And they havent even shown any specific cracks in Kunal-Mauli realation to lead to a serious thing like EMA. Just a dance in the rain and he falls or her🥱

Methinks, He will not lie if confronted. I guess he himself does not know the answer to that question or also why he fell for Nandini ( I really want to know why Nandini! ) So when Mauli asked him, he could not say Yes' because that would not have been the right answer or would be a lie and he could not say No' because that would totally break her. So he was silent.

Moving on, Do you guys also get a feeling that Kunal and Nandini have moved way ahead in their relationship and we are left behind. When did their relationship become so strong that he called her to discuss Mauli almost like how one partner call another when in crisis. I am totally baffled on when did this happen. All I have seen them doing is "hug and "eye locks? Did we miss something? I also kind of get a feeling that Kunal is more committed to their relationship than Nandini. Like if Kunal decides to step away, she will not even fight but if she tries to run away he will fight and pull her back.

Why did Kunal day " woh mere jaisi galti Nahi Karge to Nandini. Did he mean their relationship or leaving Mauli?

The episode was very good. All of them were very good. Adiiti was the best but I also really liked Shakti and DD as remorseful husband and guilty BF respectively. Rajdeep dialogues were in par sans the man-handling (I hate that ). I think they all really brought life to each of their character in this show. The episode was awesome. Looks like Nandini will be on receieving end tomorrow.



all of a sudden, the train wreck started in full speed that it is a bit startling for viewers. the confession, succumbing to temptation to finding out has all happened within 2 weeks. thats way too quick in drama watching! hahahha... perhaps the CVs wanted to avoid ticking off viewers and so have condensed a lot of it or that the focus of the drama has always been about the fallout and how things can change...

we might need some flashbacks or some scenes to see or understand how nandini and kunal became so strong like partners.

nandini felt so frail when she was looking at the picture of mouli and saying how she felt torn between love and friendship and she tried really hard to not do this -- -I almost wondered if she will be the one who tries to harm herself out of guilt.

kunal is firmly in the driver's seat of their relationship and he is very much calling the shots. nandini just goes along with his flow. so yea, he s definitely more committed. we also have to consider that nandini probably didn't get much opportunity in her marriage to rajdeep to make any decisions. plus she really suffers from a lot of anxiety and so she really might bail and run if she gets scared or too overwhelmed.

folks are surprised that nandini would do such a thing but in some of these real life stories that I have heard, the 3rd party is a family member!!!! so in some ways, this story is actually simpler (at least for me) because it is a stranger not related by blood.

if it would have happened the way you described it, the story would be so much neater but the way they have presented the story raises all sorts of tough questions if we take the story at face value. the fact they haven't shown any major cracks in kunal-mauli's relationship makes it even tougher. it really asks us to dig deeper and ask -- so what happened here? how can a successful relationship disintegrate?

for me, these tough questions are the mystery and why I am still watching this drama.

Mango_pudding1 - Even I felt for a moment that Nandini might harm herself. The precap showed Nandini talking to herself, that she has to seek Mauli's forgiveness, though she didnt mentioned anything about going away. But Nandini's character is such that she will definitely consider it. Whether she will be able to carry that out or whether Kunal will let her do it, is a different question.
And I agree that Kunal and Nandini's relationship cannot progress on unspoken feelings alone. Ideally, they should have had a journey. That is why this is hard to digest now. If they were unattached and single, I would have bought their love story. Because insane attraction and some compatability is enough for most people to define it as love. But for someone to throw away their 5 years of marriage with no real issues based on just a feeling is something that I can never understand. I can only term it as a temptation that Kunal succumbed to.

Personally also, I dont see love as a feeling that happens to you. Love is a combination of lot of things, and a lot of hard work is required to sustain it, which includes fighting temptations like these.

Well sometimes friendship runs deeper that blood relations. Everyone has discussed here how mauli became so attached to nandani because of her nagging mother. And not to forget Mauli has helped nandani so much. Something that maybe a real sister may do. Its like Kunal is almost cheating with maulis sister here. And nandani has disregarded everything mauli has done for her. Dosent look like good hearted people but extremely selfish people to me
And nandani is someone i cannot understand. She says humne sirf pyar kiya hai but that pyar has caused such big repercussions. She is too dumb i feel to understand any feelings or give respect to any feelings of anyone.

I totally get what you are saying. There are two things that even I kept wishing all along. One is, if only Mauli and Nandini weren't such great friends and the second being if only abuse wasn't a part of Nandini's story ( because I still don't think that they will address it with the kind of sensitivity and care that it requires) But I guess the makers wanted complexities and they wanted to show a complex moral dilemma (not just cheating on wife, but cheating with the wife's best friend and right under the wife's nose). Like Mauli said yesterday, yeh koyi aam dhoka nahin hain. The only thing is they actually failed to show the intensity of this moral dilemma. They rushed with it and now it looks half baked.

the whole twist of the drama seems to be that good people also can be very selfish at times and can act badly -- hard to digest but in a way true.

I think in reality we all are walking-talking paradoxes. Even when we label a person as kind hearted, it is not necessary that that quality should reflect in every thought and action and every aspect of their life. Same goes for selfishness. Although we try to label and categorize people for our understanding, I belive in reality we are extremely complex beings. And to show this on TV is doubly difficult. I think so far, its only in western shows that I have seen charcters portrayed as complex and real. In Indian tv shows the characters are mostly one dimensional, or sometimes the character sketch is good but execution fails. We also rely heavily on villains and vamps to drive our story forward, and the main protagonist just remains one dinensional or is just reacting to situations created by the villain.

Till now I haven't watched any off screen segments or the interviews od the cast. But I think I am beginning to like Abhinav and Aditi a little more.
You guys gotta watch the below segment of Aditi and Abhinav.

All the thappads were real 😃

And they themselves feel that their chemistry is good. 😉
