What is generally Ishwari's past struggles?
She stole jewels from the place she works and made the family come to streets only for sake of Dev's business. Dev became a businessman while the other family becomes beggars who lost everything.
Ishwari did have a difficult past. She had to work as a maid in order to provide for her children as her husband died penniless. No denying that even if we hate her manipulative, controlling & devious ways. But then so do the countless amount of single parents in the world but they do not consider it their right to control each aspect of their child/ children's life nor do they emotional blackmail or send them on a guilt trip to get their own way. Ishwari thinks she is the only mother who has sacrificed so much for them but the fact is even Dev & Neha have equally sacrificed their childhood for their family. Poor Neha would have hardly have been 7 or 8 years old if not younger & she had to look after two kids even younger than her, one of whom ( Nikki) might been just a few months old. She missed out on getting an education while her mother opted to provide a good education to her brother because she thought only he could get them out of the poverty. But this self centered mother has never even acknowledged Neha's sacrifice & contribution in getting them out of poverty. She thinks it was only because of her sacrifice, Dev managed to do so while the reality is that both Dev & Neha had an even greater contribution to it.
