Santu so young and forced to grow up early by taking care of her family at the young age.. To save her Nanaji's face in public, she went on marring a guy much older than herself. Once in the DM's house she has not only kept her mouth shut about the abuse,but actually had it hidden from the people's eyes. She did not tell her Nanaji or Khemi about her being unhappy at the DM's to avoid hurting them. She is running around the town to show the new groom to Maulik. Goes and beggs Kaddu's boyfriend to not to run away. Saves Dm's face by playing his wife in front of all even though she is not even considered as a part of the family. she cares for the family of the guy who refuses to even consider a liability and leaves her in the garden bench on their wedding night.
Nanaji did not have money , but they had each other to rely on. They were close knit tight family, who cared for each other.
