I had a feeling the writer would never be able to write grey characters well, as we humans are grey. I may be the only one who can not relate with Mauli, she is not normal, according to me.

Nandani's character is horribly written and no research has been done on how a woman who comes from abused relationship acts. This type of research is done pre production.

Even Kunal is written horribly and has no POV, is confusing.



@bold -- you are not alone! all the characters of this drama are super weird.

Agreed but in this case we meant as positive. The result of her reactions, her conflict, her character is all positive. Give any situation, she is always going to choose the good path, the correct path. Even in this situation some people turn mean, selfish, revengeful but Mauli would give up in a dignified way. There are no grey layers to her, what you see is what you get, right is right for her and wrong is wrong. Even after Kunal leaves, she will take time to trust again but her basic nature of goodness, her character is not going to change. She is perfect positive character in every way like Rajdeep is a perfect negative character in every way.

See even when she was so broken, she was never mean to k and N. She was asking them genuine questions. She was only mean when she was drunk and only to those two because only they are the two people who she is close to. No one not even her mother knows Mauli fear and insecurities. Only these two know about them because she had only opened up to them and hence the betrayal is so huge for her. But even then Mauli has been so dignified, so positive in her interaction with them. That's what we meant as one dimensional I.e only a positive reaction for every situation.

Exactly

@MB @arshi @pamk dont u guys sleep kya.. hehe.. sorry i couldnt continue last night. hmm so where were we..

@MB - yeahh. i am not saying mauli wasnt a lead. she was from the very begining. but makers also know that drashti and aditi can not be compared in terms of popularity.. and if u would have asked people (people like me who had hardly seen any work of aditi) then for us ut was mainly a drashti and shakti's show. i toh thought that this girl (mauli) will die and this will bring the other two close.. lol.
so mauli will be such a hit was never in my mind. in fact she didnt exist in promos in terms of having an opinion or identity.
baki now i think that mauli is a strong character but it wasnt probably imagined this way. i dont know when did gajra said this is her dream character. i mean after the confrontation or before that.. but i feel the opposite of what u feel.
mauli was shown extremely righteous, brave and bold but the way she dealt with kunal is beyond my imagination and i have never thought she can do all that mockery and taunts.. i loved her more because of those scenes. i dont know gajra ever imagined writing such things. half of the things are from forums .. lol.. but they way the dialogues are presented is awesome..


@arshi - yes! she could have made mauli flawed to present kunal nandini in good light but then it would be just another story na. kunal would have gone to nandini and we would have accepted their affair. but makers wanted to show that their show is so different that even happily married couple and extremely good perfect wife can also fail.. if you see the similar concept is used in bepannah. zoya yash had a love marriage against there parents wish while adi pooja had a love cum arrange.. makers wanted to show even extremely good marriages (arranged or love) can fail..
i think mauli was planned like this to an extent but not completely.. but i am sure kunal nandini were always half baked and they rushed into their affair to get this ema thing started and this didnt go well with viewers..
i am not saying they just wanted to justify k and N only but wanted to justify all three characters . lekin kunal nandini love story had no base so it fell flat. and now it looks like makers r deliberately writing bad things for them. naaah!! makers could have easily shown it as a mistake and nandini getting pregnant with his child so that kunal couldnt leave her or they could have shown that kunal is attracted to nandini and nandini is selfish and doesnt want him to leave but no!. they are trying to tell people that its juzzbat and pyaar.. see the tagline of the show. juzzbaat sahi galat nahi hote.
this line says a lot about what we are discussing here..they are supporting kunal nandini but with poor dialogues so it looks like mauli is given extra footage . but it is not so..
they tried to justify kunal nandini in the begining with the scenes where mauli only getting busy everytime , ignoring kunal, nandini taking care of kunal, they ignored mauli in those days. but now they are keeping mauli in mind..


@pamk - i feel asleep last night and didnt read the post.. replying to 3 people at a time is not easy .. i forget who said what and its a khichadi in my mind. please try to find ur answers in this post..

I completely agree. Being a positive character doesn't make them one dimensional. That is not even the definition for it. Mauli is of course good and wonderful but she is not always doing the same text book thing. Her actions are often unpredictable. I never know whether she will respond with love, anguish or anger these days. Her character has complex emotions and there is depth to her character.


this is what i was trying to tell people that she is a white character but the way she had reacted to the situations was often unpredictable.
the confrontations, the mockery taunts, asking kunal dare he play the victim card and telling nandini what she has done is no aam dhoka, asking kunal to see her in family court , the way she reacted to the news of her pregnancy.. she never does ott things. she wasnt extremely sad nor was she very emotional about this baby thing.i like all this about her. these are very small details but trust me these are rare to see in indian tele actresses..

@Anahi i will agree to disagree here dear.In start of show promos were given for kunal and Nandini becoz the show was about EMA.They showed that two individuals hv feelings for each other and wife is not aware of it so mauli's pov was not shown in that two promos but mauli was present in both promos.So they didn't show promo from wife pov becoz at that time wife was not aware of EMA .But just before revelatiom track colors played promo how nandini and kunal cheating or feeing going to effect mauli and after revelation we got promo from mauli pov.They can't show mauli pov from beginning when she was not aware of affair .Secondly,I hv watched aditi previous show too and i knew she is fine actress and no way she is going to play show piece in show becoz she already worked main lead with same production house.Thirdly i think Gajra said mauli is dream before the revelation track only though I m not sure.For me they just used famous actors to lure the viewers and Gajra failed to develop EMA properly without showing emotional bonding between kunal and nandini becoz her focus was more on post revelation track .The story was so rushed that they showed proposal,Physical relationship and revelation in span of 3 weeks only.This is so unfair for other characters where neither proper pov was shown for them nor we got monologues.Whereas for mauli we got monologues and self talks.Writer was least interested about other two characters pov and development.Shakti and Drashti have been reduced to show piece of show just to tell story of mauli.Their characters neither hv depth nor we see growth in them. And about Gajra writing i know woman is capable of writing EMA victims beautifull becoz all her past leads are victims of EMA only it's her forte.

@MB - yeah u r right that mauli had no pov bcz she was unaware of the affair but they never promoted it as her show.. it was more of a KN love story. they could have given her a dialogue like yeh hai meri dost and yeh hai mera pyaar something like this.. but no, show was promoted as DD and shakti's show.. and also, K and N were shown very sensible people.. nandini sacrificing her love for mauli and kunal not looking at the other woman bcz he loves his wife..
i always had in my mind that either mauli will die or something like that will happen. she felt like a parallel lead but never a person whose story is going to be told by writers.

wont talk about gajra, aditi and their prev shows. have zero idea about them. and most of the people havent watched much of aditi so for me itwas a k and n story untill i saw the bits from the first episode. mauli won my heart then and there only.

i am repeating again that i feel it was a stroy of all 3 leads but the poor execution of two characters ruined the story.
u think writers were not interested in writing pov for two characters but i think they are kind of stuck now.. the base of ema was wrong. very very wrong. and this is the main reason characters couldnt be developed the way they should be..
the base of ema is attraction not love.. kunal is attracted towards nandini's becharapan and this makes people hate him more.. if she had anything great that mauli lacks probably i would have understand the base of attraction too ..
anyway its too late to discuss all this..
its beyond repair. kunal is a hypocrite, delusional person, immature and irresponsible. whereas nandini is spineless and dumb.. i dont think writers can ever justify these two now..
the show shouldnt be dragged much and whatever they have planned should be completed in 50 more episodes. its too much to bear

As i already said they just used Shakti and Drashti to get buzz for the show.And yep i agree story was about three characters but it looked as either Gajra failed to writer complex grey character miserably or she was least interested in writing these two characters whatever the reason She treated these two characters very badly .She failed to tell the story of these two characters and just kept on gloryifying mauli at the expense of these to characters and result is blind hate towards towards these characters and extreme love for mauli.She failed as writer when it comes to lunal and nandini.That's why i lost interest in show becoz only one character is not enough to get hook me to show.And as i hv seen her previous works so for me its same story of EMA victim .I signed up show to see story of three characters entangled in complex relationship but show failed to deliever that .So i m not watching the show and reading only written updates.I too agree they should give closure to show soon because show can't be run on one character .Show is watchable when every character is developed properly and hv story to tell😊

concept of serial is badalate rishton ka
so if Nandini and Kunal would have not changed then how writer could have shown concept of badalate rishton ka ?




Nandini and Kunal r change so that it can satisfy title of serial


it is not only serial about changing of relationship between Kunal and mauli,,maulli and Nandini but also between Kunal and Nandini

writer want to tell us everything not go according to our plan
sometimes incident take life to another direction which we never plan

Gajra may have failed with Kunal and Nandini but how does that mean she did it to glorify Mauli? Mauli IS the victim! She's the one who got cheated on by her husband and her best friend. That doesn't meant it's glorficiafion of Mauli's character, it's just how it is when the third person is cheated on. Her character is such that glorification attempts aren't even needed. You feel for her because she's always been a good person.

The show DSDT aired before Silsila had similar plot but Colors had to shut the show because the wife was a popular actress and other woman was fairly new actress so next they came with a show where the most senior and most popular actor among three leads is playing role of the other woman. What they don't understand is that if Salman Khan can't defeat Naagin, a show with fairly new actress then it's obvious DD can't carry a show on EMA on her shoulders. So they were relying on big names for success of the show, they thought chemistry of two good looking people will do the job. We are saying KuNan are grey, but if they were supposed to be grey or flawed why do you think they had to show intervention of God in every step of their relationship? Nandini is a positive character for writer, Nandini was never blamed for EMA, not by the writer, KuNan blamed everyone but themselves now Kunal has been butchered completely to lift the blame from Nandini.
There is a huge difference between grey characters and indecisive characters with amnesia, KuNan are like that, they are not grey character nor do they have layers and that's where writer failed completely.
