Disclaimer - No offence meant to the artist. She's doing a great job.
This is only about the character.
For me, Aao Saheb is the biggest villain.
Her bloated ego has no limits and many have paid the price. The list of people affected by Aao Saheb's ego -
1. Atul - Couldn't lead a happy life with Madhuri.
2. Anupriya - Legal wife but reduced to a maid with no voice.
3. Madhuri - Never being accepted or called a legal wife.
4. Aparna - Separated from her husband. There is only one difference between the life she and Anu led, it's that she wasn't treated like a maid.
5. Sampada - Deprived of a father and first and then deprived of marrying the love of her life.
6. Keshav - Had to take blame for a crime he had not committed to salvage his sister's life.
7. Malhar - No words to describe what this guy has gone through. According to me he's the worst affected.
8. Atharv - he was put down by her because she had provided him shelter.
9. Kalyani - Deprived of knowing her extended families. Not being accepted as a legal child. She was forced into marriage the first time for AS's so called pride and honour.
10. Nal - this poor kid's accident definitely is her fault. Why would you ask your child to runaway when everything was going smoothly.
11. Even little Moksh - if SamHar had not happened at all, Pillu would not have been deprived of mother's feeds and though he got a good mom in Kalyani, he still suffered all that custody drama.
12. Now AnuSar too since according to all our discussions AnuSar are separated.
13. Swara - Being illtreated as bahu for being Malhar's sister.
Not sure if I need to add any more to the list.
God knows what else she's going to do now after leap. 😑
Her sudden sweetness is the most dangerous.
She's done so much but still demands for respect. She got very minimal retaliation and that was only from Atul and Sampada who chose to follow their respective love.
Except for Aparna who enjoyed all the attention, All the rest were just too good and kind to go against AS.
The only one who had the guts and the crooked brain to bring down this woman to a certain extent was Atharv Bapat. There are lots of reasons to hate Atharv but for this one reason I admire him. He made her dance to his tunes for a while at least.
