Ugly and Crazy
It's the crazyness that dements the characters.
Hence CRAZY would be a more suitable word to mean pagli here.

Ugly and mad/ Ugly and insane
The term 'ugly' would remain 'ugly' as it is an english word.
'Aur' means 'and'
'pagli' means 'mad' or 'insane'
Hence, its english equivalent would be 'ugly and mad' or 'ugly and insane'
'Aur' means 'and'
'pagli' means 'mad' or 'insane'
Hence, its english equivalent would be 'ugly and mad' or 'ugly and insane'

Mrudula Tambe
: But you should mention that Pugly is mad [feminine]. Since it is for woman character precisely.
