But I don't think Pakhi used what happened in her past against her as such right? She spoke more about the fact that after her facing such a horrible tragedy, Anupama was the one who stood up for her and helped her. The emphasis was more on the fact that Anupama had done so much for her and fought against the world for her, but here she was saying the academy's reputation was getting ruined because of Anupama.
Makers give a very sad past to these characters, Maya and Dimpy, and then turn them into villains further reinforcing horrible regressive stereotypes, it's disgusting, but I hope that isn't translated into actual dialogues on the show where they say "iss type ki ladki" in that sense. I assumed Pakhi meant such a greedy and selfish ladki (based on how she was behaving at the moment) and not referring to her as that due to her past. Hope I'm correct because otherwise that's stooping too low even for them 😕
