If she had Sameer would be a very different person... he would've been an achiever and topper like Naina, because he is not stupid!
She could've kept her connect with him... showered him with love and affection whenever she was able to meet... But instead she used to fall under Somanis taunts and come with guns blazing attacking Sameer for everything... obviously he developed a hatred for Rohan, because he felt robbed... and to top it Somani never accepted him.
As Sameer grew up he could definitely understand the differential treatment... Why didn't Vishaka demand that Somani treat Sameer nicely even if he didn't want him in his house... Making sure Sameer maintains the right and recognition of her oldest son was her responsibility and she failed to do that... in fact she never let Dipika meet him. Why? In all sense she effectively kept him physically away and emotionally too...
