Shubhra used to be strong and independent. She was the one to help Asawari and is one of the biggest reasons why BDK has grown to be so successful. In Aggabai Sunbai, we are seeing how Asawari is extremely worried about Shubhra. Shubhra feels like a reflection of Asawari’s past and this has been mentioned a couple of times on the show already. We think that Soham is the reason behind this change.
Watch the latest episode of Aggabai Sunbai here:
Soham and Shubhra have been married for years now, but Soham has an affair going on at the side and is a totally different person outside his home and office. As a partner, instead of supporting Shubhra, he only ignores her efforts. He takes the things she does for granted and has no real concern about her feelings. This could lead to Shubhra feeling dejected and unimportant.
This also makes her tied to the house. In recent episodes, we saw how anxious she was to let Babdya (Shubham) alone with Ajoba. She wants to be where she is needed, where she can identify herself: the house. Sidelined by her husband, she has made her child and her family her world.
Soham does not show any appreciation either. Everyone requires some amount of appreciation and attention. Soham does not appreciate Shubra at all and it shows. This will add to her feelings of under-confidence since no one is there to let her know that she is doing a good job!
When Shubhra gave her opinion at work, Soham, instead of being proud of his wife was more annoyed than ever. He made Shubhra feel guilty for speaking up! He belittled her by taunting her and indirectly telling her that she purposely made him feel small! He made it sound like she had no knowledge and no experience and hence was not qualified enough to make suggestions at all!
To not praise is one thing, but making her feel awful about what she did will crush her confidence! The fact that he does it in front of another person and not in private makes it even worse.
Thankfully, Asawari handles Shuhbra and praises her. She also cheers her up. In the coming episodes, if Shubhra comes to the office to work, we could see equations changing. Soham could constantly try to undermine Shubhra while Asawari constantly tries to push Shubhra ahead. Who will succeed?
