Suman
+VE: is a great judge of character. Very sharp and caring and loving towards her sons. Very straightforward and to the point about things which is good to see when things need to get done e.g. Rishita not wanting Dhara to do the aarti! Her promise to make Prafulla suffer đ Can understand things...after misunderstanding them lmao!
-VE: abusive language, bhagori ki beti etc, using the danda for fear, her disregard for her sons ever doing wrong, it must always be the "bhagori ki beti" who is always at fault! not listening to reason at timesđ¤˘emotional blackmail is not it! Needs a psychiatrist!

Anita
+VE: seems to have changed quite a lot since the start of the show. Great character development! Calm, more thoughtful, cares about the people she loves, respectful...to a point!
-VE: acts like she is 60 and does not take responsibility for her actions. Prafulla may have egged on her but at the end of the day, she is the one who made the choice, on her own terms. No sympathy for her mistakes. đ¤ needs a reality check at times! Needs a psychiatrist!
