Let me begin by saying that Archit's mom is b*tch. There is no doubt about that.
But what I dont understand is, why do most of Ekta shows have this kind of caricaturish sasumas?
I remember the character sketch of the sasuma in Pratigya serial on Star Plus. Now, that was a realistic portrayal of evil, narrow-minded MIL. Even the one in Kuch Pyaar Ka Rang aise bhi was real; not in-your-face evil, but subtly annoying.
This one in Pavitra Bhagya, however, is downright stupid, caricaturish and lame. The character's evilness doesn't even make me hate her...rather it's laughable.
Perhaps, CVs need a little more nuance.
