That the most downcast of all the characters is labeled a gold digger is pretty funny. TVS and Adi ( the Thakurs in general) have the ultimate control ( money, status, and apparently societal sanction to behave any way they choose with those deemed less human) and yet Sugni is a gold digger... AWESOME.
So because she chooses to want more, Her wants are of no significance and to try to achieve more is unacceptable. To date she has made one fatal mistake and that was trusting TVS so fully ( don't forget he set everything in motion the minute he decided to lie after finding out his wife was alive). Had he been honest at the beginning of this little saga most of what happened after could have been avoided and there would have been no show.
I thought the whole point was to show the plight of the Bedni. Which under the best of circumstances seems horrific and under the worst a state of total helplessness.
