Did Lakshmi's sexual liaison (no spoilers) change how you felt about her? Did anything about the incidence seem out of character?

No, it didn't surprise me. After all, she is human and it was clear that she and her friend shared a bond of history. I also found the location of their encounter to be quite interesting from a symbolic perspective. I would have liked to know more about their past relationship. Unless I missed it, there were general references to their past but few specific details.

One of Lakshmi's most attractive traits is how warm and human she seemed as a woman. I am not surprised nor disappointed by her sexual liaison at all. She was a woman under considerable tension and stress in her life and to give vent to responding to a natural urge added to the dimensions of her character for me.

I did not think any else of her because of her liaison.
There was definitely sexual tension between her and Samir and she definitely avoided them as she knew Samir's true nature, and also he was more valuable to her as a business partner.
But once Radha got pregnant by Samir's son she knew that her relationship with Samir and his wife would be changed and she was also at a point when she needed a little tenderness.

The attraction between these characters was evident from the beginning of the story, and obviously, Parvati recognized this attraction and felt threatened by it. When she and Samir finally consumated their desires for one another, I think it was due to a strong need for connection by Lakshmi, but a feeling of conquest in some ways, for Samir. I think that once it happened, Lakshmi was very remorseful...she had wanted him to be more empathetic towards her and her sisters situation, but she found out right away, that his feelings for her, were not what she thought they were.
