Mauli chooses Ishaan, bringing the end to Silsila’s first season. A leap is introduced subsequently, where after Nandini’s death, Kunal raises their daughter Pari as a single parent, while Mauli’s daughter Mishti calls Ishaan (Kinshuk Mahajan), a new character, her dad. Kunal leaves his pregnant wife Mauli and goes on to marry Nandini. The first season of Silsila Badalte Rishton Ka came under fire for its portrayal of an extra-marital affair between the male protagonist Kunal (Shakti Arora) and his wife Mauli’s (Aditi Sharma) best friend, Nandini (Drashti Dhami).
