I feel Kadambari's character could have been very interesting and had a lot of potential instead of turning her outright villainous. This is my attempt to write an OS(which turned into TS while writing 🤭😂) mainly by focusing on her character. My version of Kaddu is not so heartless.

PART-1

Kadambari is very happy after the court hearing. After a lot of time being heartbroken, abused and abandoned and struggling to make her ends meet, she has managed to earn a lot more money than required to lead a comfortable life. She also acquired a lot of power with her profession. She had learned from her experiences that, emotions, vulnerability, love- all those are nothing but weakness; nobody cares or respects a person if they have these weaknesses. Now that she has become rich and powerful, she is respected and feared and she enjoys the control she has over her own life and on others. She suffered enough when she gave the threads of control of her life to her parents first and then to her ex and she wouldn't do the same mistake again.

And then again she was surprised to learn that she can win a jackpot in the form of her father's property but the only hurdle is obtaining that is winning the custody of her biological daughter against that one girl Indu who once came to her rescue when nobody else did. She has killed the place in her heart for guilt and this time too she did not allow herself to be guilty. She was really bitter about her father's decision. She once coped up with the hatred by her own father and now again he had to do this. If he actually realised his mistake that he committed with 'her', then why not just give the property to 'her', why her daughter. Or it was even ok if he never realised. At least she was happy in her own life right? Now that she learnt about the property, can she stop her greed for the money?

Kadambari's father was wrong in taking this situation, but she didn't yet realise that this one wrong decision which now is like a thorn in her path will actually change her life for ever, and for the good.

More money means more power and more control. Although she somehow knew she by becoming extremely materialistic has lost her inner peace but she chosed to ignore this feeling whenever it occurred now and then until it became totally dormant. Now with the licence given by the court to meet her daughter, she is one step nearer to become extremely rich and powerful.

That night, Kadambari is on her way to meet her daughter. She tried to convince herself that she only wants to pretend being interested in her daughter to gain the property but in reality she was really excited. Excited to meet her little daughter after 6 years of separation. She regrets scaring her daughter in their first meet in her school, now fearing if that would somehow stop her from obtaining the property on which she actually has the right to. She did not want to admit that she wanted to know everything that took place in her daughter Zoon's life during her absence.

'Zoon'- she fondly took the name with a smile.

As she entered the house of Rainas, Zoon, who was playing with a teddy bear immediately limped towards her mother Indu on seeing her, trying to avoid her. She kind of expected that after their not-so-sweet encounter in the school but what she didn't expect was the prick that she felt in her heart. She tried to convince herself that she felt bad because it will be difficult for her case.

Kadambari(awkwarly, obviously not knowing how to talk to a child )- Zoon, beta mai tumhari maa aayi hoon, tumse milne, please mere paas aao.

Zoon- Mere Maa sirf Mouj hai, aap nahi. Aap acchi aunty nahi ho, aap acchi tarah baat v nahi karte.

Kaddu(the word aunty again pricked her, although she didn't accept it)- Nahi, meri..

Indu(although reluctant to allow Zoon to meet Kaddu, she knew she has to)- Dekho Zoon, maine uss din tumhe Krishnaji ke Devki maa aur Yashoda maa k baare mai batayi thi na, agar mai Yashoda ma hu, toh tumhari Devki maa na wo aunty hai.

Zoon- Nahi sirf aap mere Mouj ho.

Indu- Nahi Soon esse nahi kehte, jao aunty, nahi wo apni Devki mouj ke paas.

Zoon- Thik hai, mai jaungi par mai usse mouj nahi bulaungi. Mai usse aunty kahungi. Sirf aap keh rahe hai isliye jaa rahi hu.

Indu- Thik hai, tum good girl ho na, ab baat karo jao.

Zoon slowly went towards the sofa Kaddu sat by that time. Kaddu felt like hugging Zoon once she was near but again, she couldn't show her emotions right. She only held Zoon's hand. Kaddu now looked at Zoon and was overwhelmed. Nobody could stop feeling for the little bundle of happiness, then again Kaddu gave birth to her. She couldn't believe that she was the same little whom she carried in her own womb for 9 months. She couldn't believe that Zoon was a part of her own flesh and had her blood running in her veins. Then again she tried to remind herself that she came here only for the property.15 days later was the court hearing and she had to win the case. While Indu kept her distance from Kaddu clearly showing her displeasure at her return.

It has been a week since the first hearing and since Kadambari started meeting Zoon and at least for an hour each day, even if she had a busy day. The sweet little girl was successful to melt the stone- hearted Kadambari's heart and now Kaddu decided that not only she wanted the property, she genuinely wanted her daughter back too. Kaddu has no one else in her life other than Zoon as her family. She regretted missing so much time away from her daughter's life and her sweet moments. Whatever might be the case, she is a mother, and it is very rare for a mother not to love their child. Today she was very angry on Sameer too. Due to him her daughter's name was dragged in the controversial news too. Then she realised, didn't she do the same to her daughter in- EK DIN KA BAAP news? And moreover, she feared for her own reputation too. She doesn't want any bad news in her name too as she has fallen in love with the power and her very high image in the media.

Sameer was very frustrated because he helped Kadambari in knowing about Zoon. In return he hoped a huge share in the property by wooing her. But since that day Kaddu almost forgot about him and was almost dedicating any of her free time to Zoon. So he devised a plan targetting both her and his most hated person Ritesh. Sameer leaked about the custody case in the media with clearly revealing Zoon's identity . Moreover, he contributed some false additions.-

XYZ media house k manager(or owner? I forgot)Kadambari Patel ki hai ek Najayaj beti. Par kyun Superstar Ritesh Malhotra ka hai uss bacchi pe najar? Kya Ritesh hai Kadambari k purane premik? Kya wahi hai Zoon ke pita? Zoon Raina, Zoon Patel ya phir Zoon Malhotra? Kya decide kar payenge court?

As soon as Kadambari first this heard news, her blood boiled, she tried her best to limit it but the damage was already done. The rumours if not propagated through the news channels, could not be erased from the social media. Both Indu and Ritesh initially blamed Kadambari but later realised she was not at fault. This false news was more believable as the ex- like tiffs between Ritesh and Kaddu were already very well known by then. However, they still worked with each other as it benefited then in their business.

So Kaddu was very tensed and angry that day. Her visit to her daughter only calmed her. In these days, Zoon too warmed up a bit with Kaddu though she still didn't trust her too much. Kadambari felt like laughing remembering Indu comparing her to Devki Maa when she was completely opposite to her. Devki maa reluctantly abandoned her child fearing for his safety but on the other hand, she abandoned her daughter fearing for herself and without caring about her baby's safety. She can't ever be like Devki maa. But she is happy that at least through this explanation, she got to interact with her daughter now.

Now only two days are left for the hearing. As she already decided, she want her daughter back and she will go to any lengths to do so. She was selfish and she knew that. So when she saw Indu that day, she ignored the guilt that she felt due to what she is going to do to Indu the next day so as to get back her daughter.

Kadambari is smart. She knows that although she will herself not reveal the court about the property will, there are chances that they would still know. And moreover, although she told she has been searching for her daughter all these 6 years , that day she would not be able to present any evidence of searching for her daughter or even Indu, despite having a media house to her aid. So she can't win by scoring points for herself. She will have to remove Indu from the options instead. So that the biological mother would become the default choice. And she learnt that Ritesh already stepped back after the first hearing after some of his so-called realisations which she doesn't care. Kaddu planned ahead but waited for the last moment to play the move so that Indu doesn't get enough time to come clean before the next hearing.

The next day there were charges filed against Indu for providing licence to a minor and was suspended from her work.
