The problem with Bhavani, the character is how ambiguous she feels due to the numerous inconsistencies. She conveniently changes from being a black-hearted villain, to an orthodox, controlling but well-meaning matriarch to downright sacharine & just. I just don't know which of this avatars will come up in a track or even within episodes. During Rajeev-shivani sangeet, she is clearly insecure that once Sai becomes finanacially independent, she will be less likely to listen to BK which will diminish her power. Often times, it seems like she is aware of Pakhi's interest in Virat, yet she feigns ignorance because she wants to use Pakhi against Sai.
