FINALLY THE DICTATORSHIP IS DOWN.

Finally the Dictatorship is down and dawn of democracy in Shanti Sadan. And for audience dawn of happy episodes I guess.

I think the main culprit in whole serial is Sarala and dadi's love for Sharala. Daadi whose husband died when she was young instead of getting married and leaving her two young children spent her whole life raising them. Like they said about how Sarala in childhood, she never changed, neither she is good daughter, a sister, a wife, a mother or now a mother in law. Her two children also became like her. Sarala and her two kids have been lying too much to daadi that she believes and only doubts sometimes. She only wants Riya out of the house as she fears that she would not be taken care of now that she is old. Amit lied that Riya is after him which made daadi feel worse towards Riya.

I agree. I have realised over time that Shanti is not really that bad. She showed her other side recently during Preeti fiasco. I loved how fiercely she protected Preeti, how she wept for her. Even now, she worries for Preeti and takes care of her in her own way.

Shanti is gray, she is not all black. But Sarla on the other hand is pure evil, all black! I swear I cringe each time I see her on the screen these days. Just cannot stand her.
