One of the things I find very interesting about Koyal and Phooli is that despite being 'village girls' they are very much their own person and have their own identity.
We saw Koyal only in two episodes - and one is where lal singh brings her to the cafeteria to invite her for dinner - and another when gauri goes to get Jagya's address.
When Gauri tried to shake her hand, she did not try to appear 'modern'. Instead, she did a namaste by folding her hands. Gauri was a little taken aback.
When someone said something to her in english, she replied in hindi. And she carried herself very well.
The same goes with Phooli - she knows what she wants to say and by god, she speaks her mind with no hesitation - and she knows who she is.
Neither of the two seem to have any sort of inferiority complex when they cmpare themselves to city girls.
I wonder why anandi got sucked into her inferiority complex - that she was less than perfect, and she had to be someone other than who she was to be with jagya. Was there some deep seated inferiority complex to begin with or did Jagya's constant belittling make her like the person she is today - so willing to change everything about herself?.
I think she should change herself only if she feels good about the changes. Self-improvement is an excellent goal.
However, If she is changing just to mould herself into someone whom J or someone else likes, it strikes me as low self-esteem.
Granted everyone is a different human being and has different personality traits. But i feel that phooli and koyal both have a sense of self-esteem and pride in who they are...which i find lacking in anandi currrently.
