I definitely don’t want her to get sympathy after turning her into a victim just because she shed a few crocodile tears and sports a bruise or two.
She should end up in jail as a result of her own hubris leading to her downfall as she ends up going down a path of crime.
Since she’s modelled after women who are infamous these days for filing false charges against their husbands, inlaws or worse killing their husbands; the consequences for her actions should be shown as befitting the actions. Making her a victim would just erase the whole thing and turn Mihir Tulsi sympathetic towards her leading to them forgiving her almost instantly.
This girl and her siblings don’t need to be doormats and bend over backwards for the Viranis for having taken them in and raised them; but she should at least be shown as having some amount of gratitude and awareness for what they’ve done for her and her brothers. The least she can do for them is NOT try and break the marriage of her adoptive parents, let alone provoke another woman to go after her adoptive father and actively plot to help her just so she can get even with her adoptive mother who saw through her lies and refused to play along at the cost of innocent lives.
