#AntoniaMaino was born in a poor family of Stefano Maino who fought in Mussolini's army and became poor after Mussolini lost in World War 2.
Antonia was ambitious since childhood but had no means to fulfil them. That's why she took petty jobs to earn Money since young age.
When she grew up, her beauty came in handy and she became #BarDancer in a club in london where she earned more money than the previous jobs she took. But young Antonia wasn't satisfied as she was a #BarDancer and all her friends in Cambridge were from rich n respectful families.
So, It was just a normal day. Antonia was dancing in bar when young Rajiv Gandhi entered the bar and fixated his eyes on her. She immediately recognised him as Grandson of Chacha Nehru who had affair with Edwina Mountbatten and even featured on front page of playboy magazine.
She somehow convinced her boss, Tony to allow her to serve drinks to Rajiv instead of Suzy who was more beautiful than her and would have probably seduced Rajiv. So, she served him his favorite vodka, dropped subtle hints to him that she is interested in him.
The moment Rajiv sent a shayari written on paper napkin to her, Antonia was convinced that Rajiv was a Chutiya and her ticket to out of this life of Bar Dancing. For years she was dancing for people and now she found someone who could dance on her tunes.
So, Seducing Rajiv wasn't difficult for young and beautiful Antonia who kept him drunk with his favourite vodka all the time and even used some hindi flirting lines to win his heart. In return, Rajiv would shower 1000s of pounds daily on her while she danced in her bar.
When Indira Gandhi came to know about their affair, she immediately sent her most trusted people to save her drunk son from the clutches of a Bar Dancer who was dancing around him just for his money. But Rajiv was too consumed by the 'love' of Antonia Maino.
He resisted all the efforts by Indira to bring him back and one day ran away with young Antonia and married her in a local church in presence of her Bar owner Tony who read them vows and other Bar Dancers including Suzy who couldn't stop crying because of the missed opportunity.
Seeing tears in eyes of Suzy was the winning moment for Antonia. Antonia hated Suzy to the core bcz she wasn't only more beautiful than her but was a better dancer and earned more money. She even poisoned her food to get rid of her but was saved after a cat ate her food and died.
Marrying Rajiv was a big victory for Antonia but now she had to deal with her 4 year long boyfriend Franco Luison whom she had even promised to marry. Franco was a local villager, a handsome hunk, star footballer of his school and much more good looking than chutiya Rajiv.
Just mere sight of franco used to make Antonia go weak in her knees. He was among the most talked guy in her friend circle and every girl had a crush on him because of his success in football field and his Six pack abs. Girls in her school dreamt of having baby with him.
It was a teenage love for Antonia. The feelings, the desire, the passion he gave drove her crazy. Even Franco had a crush on her because of her dancing skills and the two fell in love with each other. They spent hours together making love. They were in relationship for 4 years.
Though Franco was poor, he worked his ass off for 4 years to buy a diamond ring for the love of his life. His dreams were shattered when he finally bought that diamond ring and was on his way to propose Antonia but saw her in wedding attire along with a chutiya looking Rajiv.
It was after several weeks that Antonia gathered courage to finally face Franco and explain to him that she married rajiv only because of his money and he still was love of her life. She intended to get divorced soon, get half of Rajiv's wealth and Live happily with Franco.
But Franco was an honourable man. He disapproved of her methods, told her on her face that she was wrong, greedy, ambitious and bitchy. Antonia felt guilty about her mistake and even decided to elope with Franco after mixing poison in Rajiv's brandy next night.
Though, Suzy came to know about her plans. She tried to convince her that she was doing mistake by murdering Rajiv.
'Antonia, I wasn't lucky to get married to Rajiv, but you are. He is wealthy n rich. He can give you what Franco can't. Money. Go live with Rajiv.' said Suzy.
Antonia was in tears seeing the goodness of Suzy and felt guilty that she tried to murder her earlier. She hugged her tight and finally decided to live with Rajiv for rest of her life. She may not get the passionate love like Franco but atleast she would be rich n powerful.
So, Antonia ditched Franco, came to India and changed her identity to Sonia Gandhi to get rid of her secret past and embrace the money and power that she was bestowed upon after marrying Rajiv. She hates the name Antonia Maino because it reminds her of her first love Franco.
