Sohini is verbally abused by Ram Charan's mother, Gulabo. Luckily, Waziro intervenes before Gulabo can strike Sohini. Gulabo's ill-will toward Sohini is partially because Sohini is of the lowest caste among the outcastes, but it is mainly due to jealousy. Gulabo's beauty has faded, while Sohini is still a beautiful and young woman.
