Shakshi is definitely deprived of many things.
She is Cold and Ruthless in dealing with everyone except Shaurya.
She wears her poverty stricken childhood as a badge and excuses herself of all Hell she brings in the name of ...I have suffered ,hence I can do as I like...
She craved power she got it by marrying Rajnath.
Her main need is for people to bow to her wishes so she can hide her insecurities by making others feel small and insignificant.
She craves obedience more than love. She knows that Rajnath has very little respect for her personally but he does admire her for her Guts to get the job done by any means.
Even with Shaurya she wants him to do her bidding hence her going to so much
trouble to stop him from getting too attached to a girl she has taken a dislike to.
She has gladly accepted her role in life of doing what she wants and getting what she wants by any means possible.
She has wanted Power , Status and Money and with these things she is content and does not see that she is depriving herself of genuine affection from those around her.
People like Shakshi do not need friends because she knows that she is a survivor and
thinks no one will understand her and her need to be # One.
A Multi Layered character with a Self Grandeur and the Flamboyance that goes with her
nature to be number one with the power to decide the fate of everyone around her.
It will be interesting to see her character when she wakes up to realize that what she craved all her life and did to gain it ...in the end will deprive her of the love and respect she thought were not important enough in her life.
Shakshi wanted Absolute Power and she Achieved it, but she will lose more in the End than she imagines.
