Also, when I hear experiences of my friends especially as the daily toll of life comes into picture , it pushes me to accept it again and again, that marriage is a constant hard work and love in itself is not enough. Trust, loyalty and respect do take precedence which fuels the love that we have for our partner. Having said that, I also know that there are temptations all around us. We are humans after all, and then it becomes a matter of choice. I have seen relationship breaking where the reason is "I fell in love" and also where the reason is "Love is not enough" I have seen people having relationship because they are tired of the environment at home and just want to feel that emotional high again whereas some just want to feel the physical aspect of it. In both cases, they happily go home where they claim, they do love their partners and are OK with this dual life.
Thus, I agree with you that love is actually a personal definition and what you have decided to make of it and what it means to you. It can be trust, loyalty, respect, it can be junoon, it can be fitoor or just an emotion that we use to justify our actions and insecurities(like those people in toxic relationships)
With Kunal,I thought when Mauli confronts him, he might go into those conflicting emotions that we spoke of, but it seems that he is guilty only for hurting her, he seems totally committed to Nandini. So then what was that with Mauli? Just friendship? I wish makers gives us his perspective because being a strong, independent woman like Mauli, I really would like to know the male perspective of this story.
PS: Frankly, I think even makers do not know and all the silence 😆
