She had that face of an evil saasu maa who is not evil in the open but inside. When her fav bahu gets put down by another bahu. That type of eye.
I have this crazy theory that Manjari is actual the evil sister who plays dumb and Mahima who although looks mean and acts stern is actually the nicer one at heart. She does certain things to keep Manjari in check.
Part of this adoption mystery is Abhi is adopted but Harshvardhan doesn't know that Manjari adopted his love child Abhi. But she told Abhi about his truth so that he loves Manjari more and this is her own way of getting back at her husband for her mistreatment.
