Saroj was definitely taken aback to see Mohan openly stand up for
Kastur...more than that...even lift her...She probably thought that
since Mohan told her he doesn't love Kastur, it means he didn't
even care for her one way or another...and felt justified in putting
Kastur down all the more.
But...after seeing Mohan's reaction, for his sake at least, whom she really dotes on, am hoping Saroj will soften towards Kastur... This may take a while though.
