tanyadi, this pratighy ashow is set in UP or Bihar. Not sure but anyways see I had a very good friend was with me from KG till 10th standard and then she went on a vacation to Bihar and I never saw her again for three years.
this girl was married forcibly to some thakur's son there(can you belive in this day and age a well educated girl, eh?) then she had a kid after 1 year of marriage,then the dude beat her all the time, she kept quiet, she asked to come see her parents after three years with son. when she was here she refused to go back. the husband followed her to bombay. he tried to beat her but her dad is very influential in the mob circles in bombay so he protected her. she insisted on filing a police complaint. the guy beat the policeman when they came to intervene. eh was thrown in jail. his folks came and bailed him out. then they took him back to Bihar. then he came back in 6 months to convince her to come back. she never ever went back. she joined a college. finished her degree. got a job. the son is in high school now. sweet kid. the guy/dad learnt his lesson. he is powerless in bombay. he comes every year during summer to visit. they are still married,e stranged however.
OK can you believe what I told you is TRUE STORY? I was shocked when it all happened. i totally blamed her parents and they never shouted at me becasue they new it was their fault. they also used to love me like a daughter so that is why I did not get any shouting when I was upset with them. this girl was my childhood friend. thank god she fixed her lfe herself.
Pratigya today reminded me of my friend.
