Savita is a miserable and pathetic woman who is just a mother in the biological sense and not in the real nurturing sense. She has been a terrible mother to her three children. In the first place, the only reason she agreed to the Manav –Archana marriage was because Archana's family was in a better financial position than hers. She then managed to take all control of Archana's "stree-dhan" by sweet talking innocent and gullible Archana. As for her second son, he was spoilt rotten and raised as an irresponsible young man (anyone remember the time before he was magically reformed as a studious US visa seeker?). Even her "laadla beta" Sachin at doubted if his Aai would ever understand that Shravani meant so much to him instead of being his golden goose. And her only daughter, she was OK with getting her married off to Ajit – her past and present abuser and molester! What kind of mother supports this kind of disgusting act? Well off course, the Savita kind.
Savita has even been to the extreme of wanting to get her older son married to the deceased son's pregnant girlfriend for the sake of money. This was done at the expense of distancing her son from the proclaimed love of his life – but did Manav's Aai care? Is she really an Aai of any sort or just a deranged scum of a woman?
Savita pined in grief for her son when he left to live separately with Archana, after he remarried her. She supposedly almost went crazy with despair when Sachin passed away but did she ever pine for sweet Vandu- who she also gave birth to? Vandu who is continually abused in several ways by Ajit and his mother – and who is in that ditch because her own family put her there!
This woman/character really doesn't seem to get even a fraction of what being a mother means – she should be abhorred and left suffer her own company or may be in the exclusive company of her husband Damodar who doesn't really doesn't even deserve a mention – his character is only a prop meant to evoke viewer disgust.
