I've been watching Astitva Ek Prem Kahani almost from the day one and never missed any episode because I recorded them unattended.
I learnt Hindi from my parents because I was born, raised and educated in US. From my understaing of Hindi I know following of Mr. Mathur's past.
Mr. Mathur was an IAS officer and shown as having extra marital relationship with a woman Anjali Bhatia even after Simran and Abhi got married. Padma (Mrs. Mathur) suspected this relationship. She was a typical Hindu woman – tolerant and well mannered raising three daughters. She tolerated Mr. Mathur until she died. Mr. Mathur and Anjali Bhatia were caught by Abhi and Kiran (first Kiran) in a restaurant (disco) one night. Anjali was a typical user using Mr. Mathur's position as an IAS officer. When Mr. Mathur resigned from his office she tried to influence Kavita's husband (Mathur's son-in-law) to get selected in representing India as a dancer. The relationship between Mathur and Anjali was broken after this episode because Mr. Mathure came to know that Anjali was using him. Of course, this was too late because Padma died in sleep.
Anjali Bhatia was never shown since then. Please feel free to correct my understasing of Mr. Mathur's past.
