" Khushi, when Rahul and his family comes here, don't even speak a word. Girls are meant to be seen and not heard, understand? And if Rahul Bitua asks you for something, you are going to give it to him without a moment of thought. He is your would-be husband." Suhasini, though was a mother by relation to Khushi felt as if a stranger to her by the number of differences they had in the way they thought.
" Would-be, Mumma. He is not my husband and even if he is, then why will I have to listen to him as if I am a slave? And why should I not speak Mumma? You cannot make a relationship by faking yourself." Khushi, whose ideals were as strong as she herself was, couldn't see her mother being so submissive to her father and now when she herself was asked to be submissive, she knew she had to take stand.
" Only if you didn't educated so much, you wouldn't have been so against our morals. Aye Khushi, learn to respect your husband first. Your should never say 'no' to your husband because husband is said to be the form of Lord Shiva. All these studies and everything don't mean anything, as long as you have a husband. Everything in a woman's life starts and ends with their husbands and marital life. I don't understand why you wanted to get educated so much.So learn his value and act accordingly. Didn't I say that you have to be silent? Why don't you understand when you are explained once?
Listen Khushi, we women are meant for kitchens. Anyways, people meant for kitchens should not speak much or they lose the value they have in the eyes on their husbands, understood? If anything goes awry then believe me, you will see the worst of me. " Suhasini warned Khushi using the same words which her mother had used for her.
Waves of seas of tears formed in her eyes, as a deep sinking feeling developed in her stomach as thought about her mom's words. Was it for this reason that she remained numb about her love? Was it for this cause that she chose to forget the person who was ritualistically her husband?

Khushi ke Ateet Ka Raaz Kya Hai?

I know these all might seem extremely abstract to many of you, but these are the same lines many mothers tell to their daughters. Seriously isn't it the insult of an institution as scared as marriage?
this seems serious stuff! Thats really sad that ppl see marraige with such cheap eyes... Its commitment bt when both sides are involved!... I have even seen mothers saying their casanova sons should be married then only wo sudhar sakte hai! Shaadi hai yaar punarjanam nahi!!😳
