* She has an intense temper, triggered by minor frustrations and arguments.
* Her sense of power or control depends on her partner's acquiescence and his performance per her demands. She feels "in control" only if her partner is totally passive and giving in to all of her preferences and decisions.
* She has rigid expectations or fantasies of marriage, partnership, or men, and will not compromise. She expects him to behave according to her expectations of what her partner should be like; perhaps the way her parents' marriage was, or its opposite. She demands that he change to accommodate her expectations.
* She projects the blame for all relationship difficulties onto her partner. She wouldn't get angry if only he would be who she wants him to be... She wouldn't drink if he didn't make her unhappy... She denies the need for counseling because there's "nothing wrong with her, only with him." She might not want him to get counseling because she's threatened by the threat of an outsider "taking sides" with him.
* A major characteristic of abusers is their capacity to deceive others. She can be sweet, calm, charming and convincing.
* She may be described as having a dual personality -- she is either sweet or exceptionally cruel and sharp. She is selfish or generous depending on her mood.
Some point work the way she had actually done cruelty towards pushing Abhay of the balcony.
When she spoke to Riddhima she puts the blame on Abhay being an awful husband.
Dual personality will come now when her mother sharda comes in picture...
I do hope Vikram & sarika come face to face but it may be highly likely & he knows her as madhura Kashyap .. So is the 'tum' him she addresses or someone else the cooridoor walking is it to her apprtment
Shobha may not know Vikram & Sarika's / madhura's relationship unless all three are in the same scene as vikram's naani has torn the pic he knows the face as madhura & if he confronts her as madhura will she tell she is sarika though she knows she has killed Vikram's love as nuch as she took abhay's life.
