Mangala loved the child and tried her best to safeguard her as much as she could. So in spite of her grey shades she still had positivity in her. But right now that same positive factor has gone too far to an extreme making it negative.I felt sympathy for her a lot too. A widow whose husband is killed by his brother and the brother is lustful after her. She has to think of an alternative to save herself and there's nothing wrong with that. The holi incident wasn't needed but still it's okay because she's a human being and has her own feelings which she may want to express. But I don't like what she's currently doing with Nimboli. She is ready to go lengths to keep Nimboli with her but her determination to seek revenge with Akhiraj is not as strong as this desire. She has a lot of scores to settle with Akhiraj but she still managed to live in the same house. Why she didn't run away with Nimboli then? Kundan molested Nimboli and Akhiraj supported the son and even police didn't punish him. Why didn't she run away with Nimboli then?So that means it's not Nimboli and her safety that greatly bothers her but just the fact that Nimboli shouldn't get separated from her. Which means she only cares of her own selfish feelings and not about nimboli. That's a negative character.Anandi has her own plus or minus points but that can't be compared to Mangala. It's not like for like comparison.
