You've nailed it Indrani, (I hope I can call you that) , the problem was intensified when initially Gun and later Kumud gave credence to her feelings for Saras.
As a mother Guniyal and Kumud and all the Desais failed big time, by treating Saras and kamarband in the same manner as something that belongs to one and can be given at will to the other.
If from the very start she had been shown that it's Saras's feelings in this that matter, and that what she feels is fine, but she needs to deal with these feelings as they are and will always remain unreciprocated and also will jeopardize a lot of family dynamics, her paagalpan could have been stemmed.
But by making her feel that she was right in demanding Saras for herself, and that she had a claim on him, they only fanned her mania and now she's turned into this delusional creature who is getting worse by the day, even after her marriage
