I have read that men see it as a challenge to tame a freespirit or independent woman. And take it as accomplishment that they managed to change her as per their whims and wishes, clipped her wings or caged her and mould her as per their likes. The taming part is what excites them. This is why they go for successful, independent, outspoken or working or ambitious women and later emotionally blackmail or woo or pressurise her ir trap her in name of love and family and make her sit home or convince her this is her world now, and is much better than goals or dreams she had for herself.
Had VK gone for an ordinary girl who was already not having career or dreams and made her housewife, he would not get publicity or the hype or kick he gets now. He has got lot more hype thanks to marrying a Bollywood actress. The glamour, hype, extra brand value a Bollywood trophy wife brings, is unmatched. Wives of other cricketers are unknown. Virat flaunts his wife as a trophy. Her fans also call him jeeju or defend him or hype him online. His pics with her get them crores from social media sites for sheer number of likes they bring.
Asin's husband also made her sit home and remain away from limelight. Same for husband of Meenakshi Seshadri, Mumtaz in past.
Remember famous comedian Purbi Joshi? Her husband and in laws made her leave showbiz, move to USA and cut off from her friends, colleagues in India. She is not even using social media anymore nor doing web series. Whereas her mom and sister still act on TV or do ads. I am appalled how many independent, earning, working women totally leave it all and agree to remain cut off and underground and invisibilise self just because a man and his family laid that condition.
Niki Aneja was also similar but she atleast posts pics on social media. Purbi does not even do that. Purbi is entirely underground after marriage.
I am shocked why women still yield to such demands and erase entire identity or marry such controlling men.
