Are the writers favoring Mauli/Aditi? - Page 3

No they actually tried everything to justify kunal and Nandini's affair and tried to fully cash upon dd and shakti's stardom. As aditi was not well established in TV  they did not expect any fan following for her. Everything back fired, the audience could not tolerate the justification and started bashing, out of nowhere huge part of all fandoms started supporting mauli's character and aditi's acting made people feel mauli. The characterization of mauli plus aditi playing it so effortlessly made audience demand a story for her. Makers never excepted this , they realized they have written mauli so realistically people are connecting with her and feeling her even though she has less screen space. Having no other options they had to give mauli this. 

Drashti is one amazing actress but I have seen actress better than her. I have seen all her previous shows. 

If they wanted to favor mauli, they could have not brought divine signs to justify kunal and Nandini. They literally did not have idea about whole thing. 

But that's exactly my point. Justifying Kunal and Nandani's affair with terrible writing is actually a very poor justification of the couple. If there was conversations between Nandani and Kunal or there was inner turmoil that was shown in these two characters of them feeling things for each other, then that would have been better. My whole point is that writing Nandani as someone who would steal her best friends husband is unrealistic. And then they go and show Mauli dealing with her trauma in the most realistic sense ever is being super unfair to Drashti because we all know given the chance DD would have been able to give a fantastic performance as someone who is processing through her trauma. 

I am happy makers didn't make nandi the vamp type. Because in real life, the sweet, so called friend is the ones that backstabb you and want your man.

I had a friend my office colleague who got married before me. She and her husband were nice couple and I always treasure their relationship. I got married very late. My friend was so nice that just I am lonely she would ask me to come with them for shopping eating out even New Year's Eve party or for Durga puja. I never in my wildest dreams would have thought of developing feelings for her husband and even if I would have mein khud ki gala daba deti.
How can I hurt a person who has been so nice to me. It is an ethic of the person and I just cannot take Nandini s actions. When I see her only thing I feel is to just curse her.

I guess, initially, writers planned to show the 3 characters Kunal, Mauli, and Nandini as a positive people with their own set of flaws and unfortunately Kunal falling in love with Nandini inspite of Mauli being good in her part. As per the plan, they convinced Mauli as a good human, wife, and daughter-in-law, friend, doctor. But failed to convince the audience the love between Kunal and Nandini due to the poor screenplay. 

So the viewers not able to connect to the lead couple and it backfired and they not able to maintain the balance between 3 characters, they tried to justify lead couple as the divine destined couple in the name of God's sign and support, but again failed. Now, it looks one-sided towards Mauli.

And Nandini's character traits are highly confusing to viewers. 

1. They showed Nandini as a victim of an abusive marriage to gain sympathy, but in turn, they turned her to break her bff's family without even thinking that she is going to give the same pain she undergone to her bff, which shows as a human Nandini failed.

2. Nandini always chooses other ppl over MauliI before it was Rajdeep and now Kunal). Which shows she is not a good friend. 

3. As many mentioned she didn't learn from her mistakes. Repeating the same mistakes again.

4. Can't get the fact that they are showing Nandini as innocent so she didn't even think that this affair will hurt Mauli. She says she doesn't want to see Mauli in tears, but no thought of Mauli once she got officially into the affair.

5. Now also she wants both Kunal and Mauli in her life. How that's possible? Not getting her state of mind and thought process. She wants Mauli's forgiveness immediately after Mauli caught them, but she didn't even care about Mauli the other times. Is she really thinking its such a small mistake so that Mauli will forgive her easily? 😕

Like these, so many questions, fuzzy state, inconsistency and no clear picture about Nandini's state. Basic traits of a person are missing from this character. 

Same is reflecting with the actor on screen. If the writers themselves are in confusion about Nandini's character then how they will convey to the actor and how actors will act upon it, so finally it looks disconnected. 

Guess, initially only the major plot was discussed with actors, not the screenplay, else DD might have not chosen this role. 

For, writers they are trying hard to show both Nandini and Mauli's situation equally but since Nandini's basic character traits are not connected(not watchable) with viewers, only Mauli is connected to the audience rightnow. 

In future, they may sideline Mauli(which i really don't wish) and focus on Nandini as she is the lead of the show, not my thought, but saying this based on colors promoting lead couple even now in SNS. Plus, Mauli as a character is mature and strong not much growth is required in her journey but with Nandini lot of places to grow as a strong and good person. So chances are high for favoring towards Nandini.

I think you are giving me all the points in which the writers have failed to write a fully fleshed out character.

as others have said , it may look like she is being favoured. But its not true.. she was very royally sidelined during their affair.. and why would they favour her in first place? she is a very lesser known actor if compared to shakti and drashti.. 

in fact i feel characters of kunal and nandini were favoured a lot by makers as their affair was shown in such a good light.. signing drashti for this role to sideline her is out of question.. actually the makers were hell bend to make it look like a different story but it came out as an illiogical one.. 

and thus all this chaos.. 

their is no favourism involved but stupidy and irrationality of course..

your post is nice  😛 but title can make people think otherwise..  

I agree with you. They don't know how to continue a story they started, especially after making it seem like it's so interesting and cool and unique. They don't know how to properly handle it. It's hard to make an affair seem legitimate so there is no depth to the characters, especially Nandani. They literally have no idea what to do with her, how to go about her mental health issues, and how she sees the world. It's easier to write Mauli because she is a character, like a lot of people have said here, is someone they can relate to. She is what you want in every girl these days, strong, ambitious and independent. That is what the audience seeing the show is mostly I guess. 

I think it is the writer who have failed to develop the character of Nandini rather than supporting Mauli ...Nandini right now looks like a shallow character who falls in love at the drop of a hat and deceives her BFF twice for Rajdeep and Kunal ...Kunal being her BFF's hubby ...I'm a working lady myself and tbh, here I don't think just that you wear a saree or not or how you cook is the reason people who are cheaters will cheat no matter what and here Kunal just cheated a dutiful wife with  Nandu her best friend for no apparent reason ...the story is shallow ...the characters Nandu and Kunal are too disgusting ...its like you are watching Crime Patrol ...I had a friend who was deceived by her hubby and a person she called a friend ...and I have seen what that sort of thing does to you in reality so I can't support what Nandu did here as leave Kunal wo to baad mein aaya but you knew your friend and not for once you thought about her before jumping into the EMA with her hubby ...That man is shameless but what are you ...Nandu's character is so badly written that the only one to be blamed are the writers and makers of this sick show ...

Actually it's Drashti who has been getting greater screenspace and better scenes to perform. Even the costumes given to Drashti have been grandly styled. I guess this is because Drashti is the more established actress. 

The narration actually did try to prop up Nandini's character quite a lot... by showing how she is a victim of abuse, and the extent she had to suffer, how she has been a kind and good-hearted person like wanting to perform Dida's mannat, etc. Otherwise, the 'other' woman is mostly shown as a vamp or negative. But at the end of the day, there's only so much favor that Nandini's character will get. And this has more to do with the concept of the story. Because at some point, Nandini will have to be shown to betray her friend and all that was shown in her favor would never be enough to cover for what she has done. Meanwhile, the sympathies have shifted to Mauli's character (who really got better prominence from yesterday's epi) because of the way the scene is written, Aditi's portrayal and ultimately, because she is the one being betrayed.

I completely agree with you here. However, if Nandani was written with the same consideration as how we saw Mauli yesterday aka having a normal reaction to pain where she's pushing people away and breaking down and being confused and asking the right questions to Kunal, then I would have not raised the concern. Because Nandani was betrayed by her husband too, countless amount of times. Why didn't we see her pain dealt with like Mauli's pain is being dealt with? Even after 7 years of abuse, Nandani is not really behaving the way she should be. Not that everyone deals with it the same but there are themes of how a woman acts when she's been abused for so long. In a way it doesn't seem far fetched that she's with Kunal because her feelings being displaced thinking it's love when someone is treating her like she's human. But Nandani's character is so inconsistent. Theres no communication between her and Kunal that will lead anyone to believe that they can't live without each other. I'm sure Drashti didn't sign up to play a character that didn't make sense. That's why I think the writers are favoring Mauli because her character is consistent, she speaks a lot, has given time and space to deal with the difficulties in her life.

yeah I agree. Also I think we shouldn't let Kunal off the hook just because he came into Mauli's life after Nandani. He was married to Mauli, shared vows, promised to be with her through thick or thin. He's also falling in love at the drop of a hat. He was also not written well in terms of the love story.

If I had a friend like Mauli I would feel like the luckiest person alive. Family me toh parwah karna laazmi he but aisi friend joh aapko itna pyaar kare. Family ki tarah. She would have my heart AND my loyalties forever.
If I was in Nandinis place Mauli ki dosti pe 1000 Kunal kurbaan.

Kaash koi Mauli jaisi dost mujhe bhi mile. Loveee Mauli. Duniya me kisi ki bhi story Mauli jaisa dukh kisi ko na mile and mila ho toh bhagwaan please please unhe shakti dena.
