i do not see nandini suffering from any mental illness or depression.. because what creatives have shown is sadness not depression or mental illness.. in real world there are people who love wearing trendy clothes, getting clicked, getting attention from people, smiling, travelling, eating out with friends , they party they go for movies but deep down are very depressed.. in a world of social media we often get wrong hints about somebody else's life.. we think everybody else is happier than us. but that's not the case. people can easily hide their depression or sadness behind makeup, clothes and fake pictures. but in television world , we viewers takes things as they are shown, we dont assume things. indian tv shows are famous for their exaggeration of things and i am sure if they wanted to show nandini in a depressed or mentally ill state they would have shown her doing certain actions which can justify her depression state. (eg- maya in beyhad). 

for me the right word for her state is DELUSION.. and that too delusional about her future with kunal , this word can not even justify her INDIFFERENT behaviour towards mauli.. she is not giving a damn about it.. like how can she could never thought of her friend for once.. 

she may be suffering from depression only in our heads  but it is not shown in the show.. i wish they could have shown her extremely distorted, not like to dress up generally after getting rid of rajdeep, i wanted a weak body language, giving up on life or on daily activities. as in a bit indication that she is not normal.. depression is often confused with sadness.. which is really wrong.. depression has many levels.. not every sad person is depressed.. lethargy and no active participation or interest in daily chores is a symptom of severe depression..

makers are being extremely stupid here for not using various possibilities and reasons for nandini's state and actions.. she could have been depressed, selfish, grey, bitter, unethusiastic, lost and what not.. but what they have made her is a blend of bechari and selfishness.. these two things do not mix up together.. if they can exaggerate this love saga with kunal and nandini running like mads for each other , with sufi music playing in background, holy mantra chanting then why not a little bit hint of nandini's depressed state.. 

in real scenario a girl like nandini would be lost, weak, lethargic or unenthusiastic and somewhat bitter, I but they havent shown such nandini.. in that case she might have gained viewers' empathy , if not approval or justification for their EMA.

i respectfully disagree MB. the bold bit.

Maya of beyhad became legendary. and she was layered, grey and black.

there are many grey characters who were loved for the way they were presented on screen.

to think of it.. Gabbar is the best loved character more than say a thakur; jay or veeru of Sholay movie 😆. and not because he was black. coz he was epic.

A well written; well enacted; well presented character will be accepted by  (not entire junta maybe) the audience regardless of the characters being white or black.
