Apologies, I couldn't help but jump in this conversation. Patriarchy is not on a case by case basis, it describes mindset. To understand mindset, you don't need one incident but what was the precursor for that incident. If we were to talk about the show, what was shown was how Nandini never was respected in her own home by her own parents. Now any normal and educated adult will deduct that due to that she has very low self esteem.

Mauli was loved and encouraged and therefore she is strong. Nandini grew up in a home where females were only spoken if men needed something - if that is not patriarchy then what is it? Rajdeep did the same and only kunal showed respect to her. - a lone MAN!!!! Which other man showed her that respect?

In this forum majority of the people blame Nandini and call her names, when let's face it until that baba she was resisting kunal. Who started with godly love crap? Kunal. Who stopped Nandini leaving? Kunal, who refused to tell his wife about the affair? Kunal, and finally who lied to his wife? Kunal. Wife with whom he said his vows.

Nandini is wrong, I admit but patriarchy plays a huge part in this. India as a society is regressive, marital rape is not a criminal offence and when any cheating happens a woman must have seduced the man - yes because the man is a baby and can be led easily.

Women are strong but in this show how is Nandini not affected by the norms set by her parents? Rajdeep? And now kunal?

I love your sentiment that women are equal to men and I wish everyone had the same mindset but honestly can you say that with certainty that all women feel that way? Then female foeticide will be thing of a past. Why is finding out gender of a child illegal in India if patriarchy was not an issue? Why when women get raped the men always blame the women and how they dress and act? Of course society is changing and there are 100s of men who support strong women but India is not there yet.

I find Nandini lost and at times delusional- this is no way absolves what she did and she is responsible for her part but kunal is the main culprit and I am glad Mauli saw that.



Excuse me! Sorry for coming in! I understand patriarchy. I understand Nandini is extremely dependent woman. This is a legitimate reason for her submissiveness to Rajdeep, being dependent on Mauli, being introvert, timid etc etc. But how's this patriarchy concept even connected to EMA? As far as I understand, people from conservative background are even more particular about such things and would never jump into something as disgusting as this.

That lusty pig Kunal has proposed her. This ma'am accepted in her full mind and senses. That lusty pig had sex with her. He didn't rape her. This ma'am thoroughly enjoyed it and even after that she was in a state of bliss. What's this 'who started love?' ?? He didn't pull her forcibly into love. It was her choice too. The only point where she was forced was when she was about to leave the city. She could still refuse to budge but okay, let's say she's not confident and patriarchy might come into the picture there. Except for that nothing, I repeat, nothing was forced on her. Accepting his proposal, kheer, asking him to stay more, having sex, calling him to park, romancing even after that - every damn thing was done by her will and wish. That too with happiness. It's not like he imposed on her and being a woman with low self esteem she budged. Patriarchy can't be pulled into this please!

And some people are saying he 'used' her??? How come? She was misinformed about his marital status or what? Or did he promise her before having sex that he'll marry her? Madam realized her love because of baba ji, it's not that Kunal hyponotized her saying she loves him right? Or did he actually use her for physical pleasure without informing her or her consent? When both of them had consensual sex, when both of them felt equally blissful, how has that become 'use'?

That characterless man broke all the sacred vows. This characterless woman literally stamped the life of someone who actually gave her a new life. How disgusting is that! I don't know why are people even arguing Kunal is worse or Nandini is worse. From the proposal scene, both of them are equally disgusting. The moment they slept with each other, they proved they deserve to be loathed as much! Either of them is not any less to the other! If few people want to somehow emphasize more on only one of them giving other reasons like 'psyche' or 'victim', it's utter nonsense. All those things may be true but they aren't the 'cause' of EMA. The cause is the selfishness and lust of those two divine people. As simple as that.

It's quite ironic isn't it that you don't wish to listen to my view but believe yours is right? I am not sure if you understand what patriarchy means? It doesn't mean that we don't have the capacity to make decisions, it means how our decisions are welcomed.

Where did I say that an affair is justified? Also where have I said Nandini is not wrong? You are right most women will not sleep with married but but women do sleep with married men, some of them are very strong women. I cannot speak on how you were raised but hating a fictional character for sleeping with a married man when you yourself said you will not do that seems paradoxical in my view.

The Indian code they many are saying means Nandini has committed a crime also states that a man has to consent his wife sleeping with another!!!!! That itself is f****g patriarchy!!! If my husband allows me to sleep with other means our marriage sucks as it is. So by that rule Rajdeep is within the limits of the law because he wanted Nandini to sleep with that fat man.

Just because you are strong doesn't mean all women are, Indian villages are epitome of patriarchy and lack of respect for women. Nandini is immoral, allright - then what is kunal? Pillar of morals?

Who is not blaming Nandini? I guess the only difference is I prefer facts and not emotions, and I believe in civilised conversation. Not one person on this forum is saying that Nandini is not responsible, some just have the ability to think outside the box and look at the bigger picture.

First, please don't curse at random posters on the internet. Second, don't make assumptions about whether or not I know the definition of patriarchy; after all, we are two strangers making a point. By the way, if you want to have a discussion about patriarchal systems. Wonderful. Let me begin with where my studies of patriarchy began--with Gerda Lerner's The Creation of Patriarchy. If you would like to have this discussion, let's do so constructively on another post.
In THIS post, I stand by my point: I do not see the hand of patriarchy behind Nandani's decision to boink her best friend's husband😆 I see Nandani as a full woman, just like a man, capable of good and bad deeds; she does not get a pass for engaging in an EMA because supposedly she is a woman who has historically faced untoward behaviors such as not getting to express herself in her home and developing low self esteem as a result😭 Once again, what does this have to do with patriarchy, systems that subjugate women and privilege men? It just sounds like she had parents who wanted quiet children. By the way, girls only express themselves at home? They don't talk in school? Not with each other? Why privilege parent's attitudes while ignoring other outlets? Because it suits the nice little argument about that darn patriarchy. It's the patriarchy that made Nandu do it! I't's because she has low self-esteem!
It's not because she's a selfish, self-centered user with no moral compass; it's because the patriarchal system in place will not WELCOME HER DECISION to be a cheater😆😆😆
Listen, did you consider what the example you gave in your post? You claim under Indian law (actually it's very much English law) defines a wife as a husband's property; as such he must consent to his wife sleeping with another. Patriarchal indeed; But did you ever stop to consider the root of such a law? It's rooted in the law of coverture, darling. It meant that a wife is entitled to the protection of her husband. She was granted at lease one third of their property upon his death. In his lifetime, he was responsible for every mistake she made. He was responsible for her debts. If she slandered someone he was sued. You get the drift. There is something other than "patriarchy" at play
Now back to your innane example. Yes, the husband has to consent to his wife having sex with another man. But tell me something: under which Indian law is Nandani going to be charged with adultery? Is it not just Kunal who can be charged with a crime for sleeping with another woman who is not his wife? But here we have two married people, one man and one woman, who have had sex outside of marriage, YET only the man can face criminal prosecution.
Please tell me, how do you define this?

And actually another very interested question has formed from your example. You state a husband must give his consent for his wife to have sex with another man. I assume Rajdeep didn't consent right? So clearly, there are examples of what could occur and what does occur. But I am curious: who would be legally and financially responsible if Nandani gets pregnant with Kunal's child? Kunal or Rajdeep? In fact, it's Rajdeep. She's still married. His name goes on the birth certificate.
Tell me, how do you define this?

Thank you for sharing your experience and you are right that is the reality. Just because one woman gets all the freedom doesn't mean all women do.

I never understand that why to support one woman we have to demean another? Nandini is responsible for her actions but calling her names when the man goes scot free is ridiculous and illogical. I have never said Nandini is not responsible, she is but kunal he started this whole mess.

sorry i dont agree with you totally
ya we can say that the reason is this that
but please allow me to understand why she rudely chosen rajdeep over mauli before leap and dont tell yaar that mauli told at the spot to choose because whatever have been shown she just choosen because she that time thought what rajdeep is saying is correct thats why after leap she was guilty that she didnt listened mauli or blah blah
now even how her patriarchial thought when she was talking big about marriage and she herself started to love her bff husband and had sex with him before marrying without a ounce of guilt
i feel ya she has suffered alot in her life and thats why she was always somewhere insecure jelous of mauli life and just wanted life like mauli and person even in her life like mauli
but she never thought that mauli had earned all this becaus whatever has shown mauli is even having patriarchial mother ya it is not extreme and nandini was having extreme case
but i feel nandini suffering from parent and rajdeep and jelousy and inferiorty complex with mauli has made her self pitying dilusional selfish etc
i have also gone through same and i lost my friend lastly it was not like i dont love her but i used to hurt her due to my jelousy posessiveness and many thing with her as she was having a nice wealthy and luxorious life
anyway i am just trying to say that whatever nandini is doing because of her alter ego which she gained in course of her life due to her suffering that she even dont know herself
and she just want mauli type of life as someone pointed out she is not understanding how she has snatched everything from mauli because she think mauli has everything like she is independent and have so many loved ones so whats the problem if one has come to her side
i can understand her psyche but cant justify it as today i cant justify myself for my broken friendship but problem is till now itv has not dealt with such type of human psyche and complication with our thinking and brain they just show relationship and easiest emotion attached to it
but with this show i have hope like how we got mauli brust we will get then kunal psyche and atlast nandini even hope she even will realise one day how and where she gone wrong and admit herself that ya she never valued mauli due to whatever reason
anyway sorry if i wrote anything wrong

It appears that few people are misunderstanding my point - patriarchy is not something that makes anyone cheat, but here and in particular nandini's case her upbringing is responsible for this disaster. We all know she has cheated, who is disputing that?

To say her family wanted a quiet child is illogical. That upbringing made her what she was, allowing a man to take charge. First it was daddy dearest, then Rajdeep, and now finally kunal. Dad didn't speak to her unless he wanted something - how will that make anyone confident about themselves? Yes we all get to speak at school, but how many of those kids excel? Here Nandini went to school and followed Mauli again a strong person. Does anyone know what she wants? Many will say kunal which at this point is sure looking like that then why be upset if Mauli found out? She got what she wanted so why not be happy and party?

Her husband dictated her married life, who helped her? Mauli. Then kunal baddgered her until she gave in. A strong, independent woman, who is not bound by a male privileged mindset will slap him and move on like Mauli did to Rajdeep but what did Nandini do? She took his hand and came back. How can you not see that?

You guys keep saying she is enjoying sex, hugs, and coy looks? Why shouldn't she? As far as she is concerned kunal has it figured it out. We know he is an idiot but to her he is not. She is of course responsible for her actions but her actions manifest from her childhood which was highly regressive. I don't know her education level but I doubt she has a degree, she latches on to people.

Normal person when caught in an affair will worry but here she says I cannot live without either!!!!! Does that sound normal to anyone? Would a strong woman say that?

It's easy to say it has got nothing to do with her background, finding cure is useless unless disease is figured out. Someone says that the law talks about woman being man's property - that's a joke right? And if it's an old English law, well Britain has certainly changed their stance, guess no one gave India the memo.

At the end of the day we are not going to agree, which is fine. I usually don't engage with people who call others name, but I guess this is an exception. It's pitiful that to support once stance, means demeaning other and calling names to a fictional character- I have better things to do than engage with pseudo strong women. I will not engage anymore when a fictional character is called names - regardless of what she has done or not. My mistake that I thought that I will have an intelligent debate instead of this tripe.

I dont get this that why all the bill is on the name of Kunal??? Nandini is not a 7yr old kid who doesnt know what is right or wrong.. Forget this... OK they had sex in the heat of the moment or vulnerable state or situation was like that etc etc etc.. But after the deed was done did she show an ounce of guilt that oh what have i done?? Chalo leave all this also.. Few days back KunDini met in some cafe or restaurant right?? WHY???? Why dint she outrightly rejected to come to the cafe and told Kunal that no we have already done wrong with mauli so now i dont want to commit another crime. Lets tell mauli everything bcz we're her culprits etc etc... Or after the deed was done she could take some time to comprehend the situation and then call up kunal and tell him that we shold tell mauli the truth bcz I cant live in guilt.. Whatever will be Mauli's decision afte that I will face it but I cant cheat on my best friend and blah blah blah.. She dint do any of these , instead went to meet Kunal at cafe or restaurant or whatever it was, kept her head on his shoulder etc etc.. Kunal is anyway a looser and not to be trusted guy.. He was in his senses still he did but later he felt guilt but still he met Nandini... On the other hand Nandini did that in the state of vulnerable position later on when she was in her full senses she dint felt remorse and yet she went to meet Kunal and keep her head on his shoulder/chest whatever it was... Both the party are equally at fault... So ppl need to stop putting all the blame on Kunal as if Nandini everytime was in state of intoxication therefore hd zero hand in the EMA... Sex ke maze dono ney liye hai toh bill ek ke naam ka kyun phatey??


Exactly... & After making out...Nandini was the one who was msgng Kunal repeatedly...whereas Kunal was feeling guilty.(ofcrse fake)
& he cudnt reply so asked her to meet in Park.
Again, the send time in the restaurant Nandini was d one who called Kunal to cm & meet her bcz she saw smthing in Mauli's eyes. (Doubts ofcrse)

let us agree to disagree but we do agree on one point: patriarchy did not make her do it. I can agree with you that her upbringing could have contributed to her weak character, lack of morals and low self esteem; these things could contribute to her dastardly deed. However, at what point is she responsible for her actions? Not Kunal being blamed for badgering her. But at what point is she given agency; where she takes full responsibility for her actions?
You see, everyone has faced something in life; everyone can point to an event/family/something that contributed to their bad decisions. At some point, however, we take responsibility. We know right from wrong. This character does not.
By the way, the offer stands: any constructive conversation about the very real ramifications of patriarchy will be welcomed.

She won't party if she gets kunal .that's bcos she wants to act like an innocent bixtch ..if she parties she will become a villain . She herself can't agree with thatYes she saying she can't live without either is fake..she will be happy living with kunal in a few days she will forget mauli

On point..👏
Patriarchy may have been responsible when Rajdeep's proposal came for her.. But she believed him over Mauli, this shows she made a mistake.. Her reasoning isn't right.. No society or patriarchy forced her to take wrong decisions..
And why is Kunal responsible for Nandini's decisions?? She is adult enough to make her own.. She did everything with her own wish.. No one forced her.. Kunal is responsible for his own crimes.. Nandini for own..

Basically an escapist, delusional, immoral person who lives in her lala land where she wants to be appreciated and loved no matter what happens to others
