And unfortunately, there are no Rishis to help the damsels in distress in real life.
What I find strange is that it is accepted when the son of a family carries the entire burden like this, we sympathise when a woman does the same thing.
The reason maybe because an unmarried man will not face harassment the way an unmarried woman faces.
Anyways, Indira is a brave girl and kudos to Rshi for helping her
Reminds me of Cinderella and Prince Charming. A fairy tale with more villains.
