i did question malik having a raw deal in the relationship with the two girls and padmini, because of padmini's sanskar and pavarish she didn't marry malik and wasted all this time until now he never married and had his own family because of her ready made children living under him, 8 years not working because the children needed looking after, but she could have started a food business something to help the family also, instead only madhu, malik and roma were working, which is not right yes I agree, but her vows taken in her marriage, though she faked her death to run from her husband, still stand and she doesn't want to commit polygamy by marrying malik, possibly because of her sanskar and pavarish she feels she owes to live the way she does a married woman to wait for balraj chaudhary to die first.
