Chapter Two of ‘ Behind The Beautiful Forevers’ introduces Asha a mother, businesswoman and the recently renowned slumlord of Annawadi. This chapter illustrates the character of Asha as greedy and selfish. Asha gains money by giving advice on everything concerned around women, whether it would be their husbands beating them, or trying to get a new job. Asha also got an income by scamming her fellow annawadians. She tries to teach the specialities to her 19 year old daughter, Manju, but Manju is described by Asha as ‘sentimental’ which would interfere with her business and blames it on herself that she didn’t bring her daughter up to be like herself
