I still do not understand where does Nandini and her actions come in this post? This post is about Drashti and I think she is a good actress. And I have nothing to say about any other actor or actress. One more thing, art and acting is all subjective. Either you connect or you simply don't. But the problem arises when others likes are questioned and ridiculed. Labelling and ridiculing people since they have a diffrent opinion is something I have seen in this forum.Anyways, each to their own, I guess.

@tm - will reply to u in a separate post..

@indira -- the N you described does exist in society but certainly nandini wasnt shown this way.. the Nandini u are taking about is plain selfish.. but here we see a nandini who is selfish one day and other day she decides to leave the city for mauli.. one day she is again selfish she accepts kunal again and the other day she again thinks of mauli..

i wish she was shown the way u have described then she would have termed as a negative character..

@Poiu and @priya -- i totally agree with you guys on how nandini was supposed to be grey but writers even failed to execute the grey element too.. they kept jugglish between "selfish" and ",mahaan" . if she was shown grey she would have accepted that she has hurt mauli but she cant help it she loves kunal and he is her life and he loves her too.. she would have accepted that she cared about mauli but she could not let kunal go as he is her life.. but here we see nandini saying that she doesnt want to hurt mauli which she already had done many times..

@shajadha -- dd was really good in initial episodes where she knew what her character is supposed to do. she was good when nandini was falling for kunal.. but the day she accepted his proposal and kicked mauli's thoughts out of her mind , dd started to lose her grip on nandini.. and its not her fault , its completely the writers fault..

@archi. I never said Drashti can't act. I mentioned she didn't know what expressions to give because the character Nandini was badly written.

P. S. I have mentioned she is an average actress in my earlier posts. That's my personal opinion. There are worse actresses than her as well on TV. I don't expect others to agree or disagree because that doesn't change anything.

That's where mskers went wrong. They didn't show what Nandini actually was...
We hv to keep thinking may be she is narcissistic, may be psycho, may be plain selfish or whatever..
It shd hv been clear from maker's side instead of us thinking n discussing what she was..

They tried showing her caring but her actions were opposite.. And finally so much khichdi of the character that she is literally amongst the most hated characters..

but you shouldn't expect everything to be stated as exactly what it is. Whenever people are writing books or writing shows, it's more about "show" not "tell". You can clearly see someone is angry if they throw a chair across the room with appropriate facial expressions even if they don't say "I'm so angry". So reading between the lines is not what I'm upset about. But the fact that we have to do that at every single aspect of her character. For example, I think we all understand that Nandani fell for Kunal because she lacked a good husband and saw someone who gave her the love and respect she deserved. I'm okay with reading into that part of Nandani's character because that's just psychology 101. However, it doesn't make sense that that was enough for Nandani to start a new life without her past experiences interfering. I can't read into that aspect because research shows that battered women don't just go about their life because there are a couple of people who are supporting her. And especially if she's self-sabatoging herself and pushing away one of the person, the most important person in her life besides Kunal. So that's where the writing went wrong. I'm tired of assuming and guessing to give Nandani the benefit of the doubt. I wish they had given her more depth and wasn't just swayed by Kunal's whims. Which could also be part of her character given how that was how she was with Rajdeep. So I don't know, it's so hard because there was sooo much potential but all the writers cared about was the love story.

Drasti is an amazing actress...I saw her work in DMG and GHSP and became fan of her. But after that I didn't like single character of her...including Madhubala for which she got award. According to me that was actually for her contribution in GHSP...tab bhool gaya tha shayad. For her good works she was not appreciated. I guess for that she is taking one after another bad decision. I was so impressed by her work in GHSP that I watch that serial again and again and find out how amazing she can be.

Character in a serial is not made by actors those are made by writers or PH. I am not that kind of fan who wants to see favorite hero or heroin as lead or hero or heroins only. I like them even if they are acting in a negative character or cameo . So when I saw the promo I disliked the concept. But as DD is working here I thought may be there will be something else. Time to time I thought may be she is the negative character here.

But Alas...the story was and still is simply awful and painful. Never understood Nandini was bad or not. She was according to the story a dumb girl...although that was also not clear. Kabhi kabhi shaitan bhi laagi but wovi clear negi hui. Angel toh impossible. Because angels are not dumb. I am still confused why this PH hired such an expensive heroine for such a silly role. Sp it doesn't look like DD read about her character.

There was a Bengali novel written by Bankim Chandra Chatyapaddhya. ...Most probably the name was "VishVrikshya". Kundanandini(which is similar to Nandini) was a young widow who fell in love/EMA with her protector ( Jeejoo tha shayad). I guess this Nandini character is inspired by that Kundanandini. If ppl read that story they might get touched by Kundanandini's character.

But there is a huge difference between Vishvrikshya's Kundanandini . Ppl may shed tears and feel sympathy for Kunda ... But it's 2018 and that was 19th century. At that time woman's condition was horrible. So no comparison to that Kunda and this Nandini. You may see the similarity of Kunal+Nandini=Kundanandini.

As for DD. She is a great actress. But next time she needs to choose a character where she can act or show her acting ability. As I know she is an amazing actress. I know she is very pretty and I too love to see her in great attires ...but not like this serial. Naah character clear tha naa acting ke liye koi space. If she wants to act...where will she show her talent????The only person who got chance to act here is Mauli/Aditi ...rest including Shakti and all were just side dishes. Can't utter a single good comment for PH. ...as simply not understanding..."W hat the hell they are trying to say????"


They should try to make some suspense serials instead of family drama. Or just keep the concept clear.

Ditto! I happen to feel the same way as you. People felt that she wasn't good as Muskaan but I liked her and loved her as Geet as well! But I didn't like any of her characters after that either, for me her graph went downhill thereafter because all characters she played after Geet seemed like a continuation of Geet! She's always been good when it comes to emotional scenes. Nandini has generally been disliked and I guess the character would've been disliked just as much even if she wasn't playing it! I honestly feel that Nandini isn't hated because Drashti was really good at playing Nandini because my personal opinion is that she wasn't n no one would've been because the character was pathetically sketched! There wasn't much that could've been done about it regardless of who played it.

Hi ,

I beg to differ .

Nandini was poorly understood because the extrapolation of character was not possible by mass audience .

The writing and acting were top notch .

Hatred nandini got was because of kundini .

I find kunal a difficult to understand character ( i am sorry his readon to get into ema is almost close to nothing )

So essentially every one could not digest kundini because of kunals cheating .

But Surely We Can Agree To Disagree .
