After watching conflict between Gehna & Maasa, then Gehna leaving the place, i just couldn't stop myself admiring Madan Singh's character. As he is also a rich landlord with conservative values having high status in society just like Maasa, but as a family person he is way ahead of Maasa. Everyone in his family( his wife radha & son shyam) raises his or her opinions against him and most of the time they get better of him and have decisions in their favour. Like he accepeted a widowed girl like suguna, who is carrying another man's baby, as his DIL just b'coz of his love for his wife & son. Whatever complaints he has with suguna, he never directed his anger towards her. It's his "nalayak chhora"( i just love the MS- Shyam scenes) who faces the wrath, but never his beendni. Even though he is unable to accept suguna's child, but he is not ready to get him killed also. Even in case of Asha, he seems to be much more sympathatic and tolerant than either Tausa or Maasa.
So, he seems to be much more loving, caring and considerate family person despite his orthodox views as opposed to Maasa, who functions in truly autocratic style.
