She was not vulnerable to the destructive Damo instead was a survivor to sail him through the years even when she didn't need to.Not only Savita was in verbally abusive relationship with Damo but she herself learned to fight back..She might not have been a goat like Vandu...What I meant was goat or sherni she still stayed with an alchoholic for 30+ yrs..Which she should not have.Savita still wants her daughter to be with her abusive ILs...She wants to fix it with money which ain't gonna help...Vandu is doing the same..Remaining with Ajit in a hope that he will stop drinking, gambling and become a good husband-father...Typical abusee characteristics..I believe its not necessary that parents' behavioural characteristics are hereditary but can be influential on the character base of the child. Probably Savita came so strong for Vandita that she didn't need to have an aggressive streak to her. Even now Savita comes to fight for her children and she is immensely protective of Vandu...probably that's the reason she has nurtured behavioural traits. Also she was the youngest in the family...probably that makes her dependent on Ajit even though she has the capability of coming on her own.
