What cracks me up about SB is that Kumud can never be right in her eyes. Because her being right means that her son is wrong. Like if she stays, then it's her fault for not being able to control her drunken son and his behavior. If she goes, it's her fault for deserting her son and walking out on the family. She will never understand that her son's mistreatment of others can only go so far because she was never at the receiving end of his blows, verbal and physical.
So when Kumud asked her for forgiveness, I wanted to laugh. It's SB who should be asking her for forgiveness for expecting her to be some superhuman that doesn't feel any pain whenever Pramad shows his temper. Not to mention keeping the fact about her son's identity a secret from the Desai family.
Should Kumud have tried to play the wife? Probably not. But she was just giving her marriage a chance, and for that SB should have been truly grateful. Especially since it was Pramad who broke his vows and not her.
What is good about her character is that she is so typical of the Indian saas, never tolerating any wrongness in her son and always blaming it on the DIL. As if Kumud's only role in life is to be a bloody doormat for both of them and carry on the family izzat by keeping fasts for this spoiled man.
Of course, if she had supported Kumud in any significant way, we would not have the utter joy of seeing Saras and Kumud together with Saras reclaiming his real identity. So for that one flaw in her, I give a million thanks. Her selfishness ensured that Kumud would be in danger once again and therefore Saras and Danny can never sleep in peace. 😃
