What a load of crap this IV is🤢

Ahhh the BS yada yada to defend the illogical character of Kundini what a insult to the word "love

So shakti is justifying kunal.

He and nandu are flawed , is understood . But what did they see in each other is yet to be understood.

Kunal is definitely a nice guy and was in love with Mauli. Not once did he cheat on her, but there was something amiss and that void was filled by Nandini

Colors' show Silsila has had mixed reactions from the audience.

While some viewed it with the positive approach that one can find love again, a majority of the television viewing audience trolled the show for its content and showed hatred for Kunal (Shakti Arora) for cheating on Mauli.

We asked Shakti about his take on the situation and on the trolling. He averred, Look, such things do happen everywhere, be it in the film industry or normally in life. But people choose to maintain their silence about it, because they don't want humiliation coming their way. Also, I feel they choose to be quiet because of societal taboos. They do not want to humiliate themselves or their partner and become the talk of the town. But such situations do happen if not in our lives, then in and around us.'

Shakti also mentioned that if they showed Kunal apologizing to Mauli and going back to her, it would be clichd, as this is normally seen on television. What makes this show different is its realistic approach. Kunal stands up for what he believes in, his feelings, and his love for Nandini.

Shakti went on to explain the paradox of life, stating, Sometimes, it happens that you are in a relationship where you think that you are in love but you are not, and there are many things amiss in the relationship. You only come to terms with this reality when you meet a person who you believe is meant for you, and then the biggest question remains But I am married; what can I do? Certainly, if a person meets someone who can fill their void, it is likely that they will want to progress and move on in their life. That's what Kunal did and that is what is shown.' The actor mentioned that they are trying to showcase that nobody is perfect in this world. Everybody has their own flaws and there are times when we are not ready to accept them.

Kunal is definitely a nice guy and was in love with Mauli. Not once did he cheat on her, but there was something amiss and that void was filled by Nandini. In life too, there are some people who take a stand and make a decision to fight and do whatever it takes to be with the other person they feel an affinity towards and have found love in. Some people like what Kunal is doing and some don't, so we have mixed reactions.'

@Bold in red: So the lesson we are meant to get out of this show is that it doesn't matter if you are married, love your partner a lot, you can still fall in love with someone else, and it is fine, and shouldn't be considered a social taboo, because love is love after all? Yes extra marital affairs is a social taboo, and we would like to keep it that way, as we are not interested in creating a culture where cheating your partner and being disloyal is a person's right in the name of love and emotions. People should learn to rationalise what they are thinking, feeling and doing before even daring to stray from and betray their partner. If people stay silent because of fear of humiliation, then great, because I don't know what sane society would want to encourage adultery, so who cares about this "fear". Cheating your partner is not right, and should be feared.

@Bold in blue: Kunal stands up for what he believes in? OKAY... I guess standing up for what you believe in is the respectable way of saying 'Selfish, disregard for other people's emotions'.

@Bold in orange: But what did kunal find missing in his marriage with mauli that couldn't be solved by talking to mauli, because besides kunal quitting his job with big talks of starting his own clinic and mauli spending little less time with him to help get money for his dream, there was no problem whatsoever that couldn't be solved, and no real issue kunal gave. Then people wonder why viewer's deem kunal cheating on maul by having an affair with nandini and calling it love as just lust when he got into bed with nandini so soon too. What void did nandini fill in his life? Again we are expected to keep an open mind despite being shown such a flawed and rubbish story that makes this affair story even more shameless and unjustified.

Bold in green : WHAT???? WHAT???? Did I read that right? Kunal not once cheated on mauli? HUH???? 😲I... I...I just can't with this.

His interviews are so funny it makes him (the actor) look really stupid for implying absurd things. Do these actors know what they are saying and watch what they portray on screen?

And the void part had me like W*F? What void did Nandini fill? Was it the void that Mauli can't cook or wear sarees? Cause Mauli is the perfect wife. Where is the void? Is it the void where Nandini makes puffy eyes and shiver in a corner? Seems that turns him on.

Their so called mature and intense love story is gross and a ick factor. It looks forced. It looks cringe worthy and it comes across like he's more in lust than love.

And yes, Kunal is not a good man! He's a cheat! An adulterer! And the actor should know that.

Obviously they are yet to read some classic, compelling literature or watch some hard-hitting pakistani shows on the same theme or even read some real life incidents shared on quora to make a much better story about EMA. There are shows where you wouldn't be able to hate the characters despite the things they do.
