for revenge. The warning seemed to have been fulfilled with her returning in
the Prasad family. Zahida Parvin says, “It’s like coming back after a
vacation. This time there is added responsibility on me as I have to
maintain the difference between Yashodhara and Dai Maa’s character. Also
when Yasho’s earlier track ended it was on its peak, I want to take my
character to that peak again.” Zaida also highlights that Yashodhara’s
character spoke normal hindi and Dai Maa’s character speaks in Rajasthani
dialect to provide distinction between the character. On the show, Veer’s
marriage to Priyanka took place on a short notice and Yashodhara enters
Swarna Bhawan as Priyanka’s Dai Maa. Yashodhara this time has come with the
intentions of taking revenge and will leave no stone unturned to accomplish
it. It is seen that Abha with her father and father in law is trying to
figure out and make sense about the strange activities happening in Swarna
Bhawan. With an unknown supernatural power creating mystery is troubling the
family Yashodhara will add trouble in the tense situations. Watch how Abha
