This is completely my assumption on it, because there isn't enough info on Sameer's dad and his early childhood or any kind of pov of Vishakha. I have just made some assumptions based on relatable behaviour i have observed in real life.
Vishakha doesn't hate Sameer, she is extremely disappointed in him and honestly has no idea how to bring him on to the right tract! And something about her reaction makes me think if she was always afraid of Sameer turning out to be what she thinks he has turned into right now. Maybe some qualities in her husband she hoped he wouldn't display? This gets me inclined to think maybe they were divorced, but since no one talks about him even in negative light, less inclined. But at the same time Vishakha herself never mentioning him, not even to Sam which is weird, that brings a failed marriage back in question, so maybe his father died of something he brought upon himself?
Second thing about her that i have noticed is that she behaves too devotional when its about her second husband, yes its normal for some women to go "pathi mera parmeshwar" but here she seems too blinded and almost like she owes him some unrepayable debt of sort. Maybe she is greatful to him for accepting her, a widowed/divorced woman with a child from first marriage, or maybe something more that's not yet revealed now. Maybe for that same reason she expects Sam to love his step father. I still don't believe that she simply doesn't see how that man isn't that Good with Sameer or how he really doesn't care about him. This devotion of hers along with her fear of being thought of as the stereotyped step mom is what drives her to overlook her own son to care for Rohan.
She is a woman who is constantly tensed about stuff and doesn't know how to handle it.We haven't really seen what Rohan thinks of her, maybe inspite of all her extra efforts he is still distant from her and that stresses her out? If so that could explain two things-
1.Her neglecting Sam for Rohan, sam is after all her own son, would love her naturally, the effort needs to be for Rohan to love her.
2. She may assume Sam not accepting her husband is the same as Rohan not accepting her truly, when she assumes this she obviously won't buy it when Sam says her husband doesn't care for him, she will only think of how much she is doing for her step son and that not being whole heartedly appreciated.
But all this is one thing and her being completely unaware of her Son's life events is another. Does she even know anything about her son? And this adds to the above issue. She simply isn't a great person, not really good judge of character, too much into social status and not a genuine caring kind of person (like Naina for example) and all these features being there together unfortunately makes her someone who simply isn't good at being a mother
