Anupamaa may seem like a woman who has been wronged by the universe but she is actually the one who knows how to deal with the ones who wronged her and how to condemn them forever into a state of misery. She may not see DukhLee as her wrongdoers but she knows that VanYa have hurt her therefore, she has tried everything to ensure that VanYa are unhappy but are not apart. She did every little thing to turn their dream into their worst nightmare. She does not want VanYa to break apart but she also doesn't want them to have some happiness at all.
First she gets Vanya married but chooses to stay in same house as them. They are still housemates and share mutual family members which means that Anupamaa never left the family but am extra member Kavya joined. Being a part of her ex's life would ensure disarray in his marriage. Even after leaving, she still visits on daily basis even when Kavya was legal owner. She even uses her kids to bond with her ex but her intention is to cause problems between VanYa, not to have V back. Later, she visits on festivals and uses every possible excuse to come to SH. Even after becoming Kapadia, she invites these 2 even when she claims to have no relation with them. She tries to use her old strategies of getting close to her ex but it gets old because Kavya has adjusted and has become her fan. In spite of Kavya's adoration for her, she still despises VanYa. Now, instead of prepping V against Kavya, she preps K against V. She adopted CA in order to make Kavya crave motherhood desperately. She also knows that age of becoming grandpa, V won't want to be father again so fights continue. Soon, things start to become stable for VanYa. They are not fighting but now the passion is gone. Kavya still craves passion, so Anupamaa bribes a company at Delhi to give them a lucrative job offer. Then she orchestrated Dukhmukh's disappearance by blackmailing his friend to keep him busy and let battery of his phone to die.(We know how manipulative Dukhmukh is. It won't be a surprise that his friend is selfish and greedy and may have been easily bribed.) She knew Julie would do Tamasha and V would come to Amdavad like a bull with his desperate wife following behind. Now, V has given up his job offer for 2 bratty oldies and his anmol ratan. K always disliked V's obsession with phemily but this was a new low.(Being Maa bhakt can't change someone's inner nature. It can only change kismat.) He has always neglected her compared to phemily and even his ex. That may have made her want kids even more because V's kids were the reason ex wife got more attention than current wife. V never wanted them. Now, K suffered a lot and is useful enough to be used against V. She bribes Mohit to not take crap of K's husband for long and fire her ASAP. Then, she and Anirudh teamed up to torture Vanya forever. Anirudh convinced K that he still loved her. K being K, starts to incline towards another man because her husband is not giving her attention. K starts to neglect V and V also starts to incline towards ex more than ever. Upmaa is not interested in V and wants V and K to be stuck in a loveless marriage so she rejects him. Meanwhile Anuj drama happens and she pretends to be hurt but actually has given Anirudh a huge sum of money to convince K that they had ek raat but in reality he won't touch a cheater like her therefore Vanar ka baccha would be doomed to be neglected by him forever and K would doom her kid to be mistreated. Using Vanya's own kid, they have V stuck with a kid who is product of adultry of the woman he once loved and he has to support this kid and a cheater wife and also, they are putting pressure on him to accept the kid, K is stuck seeking approval of her heartbroken husband and is stuck with guilt of hurting V and phemily and Mahi is stuck with an emotionally distant father and a mother lacking self respect. Upma also ensured that neither V fully accepts Mahi not does he fully free himself from her. When V was willing to accept K and her kid, she tried to divert his mind again and succeeded and whenever V wanted separation, she stopped him.And with causing enough problems, she happily left and attained temporary sanyas. She does not care for anything except ruining Vanya even 5 years later, she is here to use each and every Anmol Ratan and Buzurg to be close with V. She also wants to ensure that she is not exposed. In spite of truly loving Baa, Bapuji and her Anmol Ratan, she is more interested in sabotaging Vanya and she is a true expert in it. For her, Anuj, Aadhya and Kapadias were just pawns. Even if she cared for them, she always used them more to sabotage V , make K jealous, make Baa and Anmol Ratan feel inferior so that they do her her huzuri. In Vanya's case, she has taken a backseat and is eating popcorn , watching them fight and give hell to EO. This also explains why such a supposedly shrewd woman is easily manipulated by her ex in laws and kids. The truth is she is using each so called manipulation to sabotage her abusers. Plus, she used Kapadias money behind the scenes to make Vanya suffer. She is not dumb, she is smart. She is not in love with V, she pretends to in order to trouble K. She has cleverly sealed her real intentions from all.
