Food blues
Sudha feels that adjustments definitely need to be made, especially with food habits. "Being a south-Indian Brahmin, I don't even touch non-veg food, but my husband thrived on it. So that was a big compromise for him as he had to give up non-veg, even eggs for that matter, after our marriage."
"Then there were these petty problems like language barriers. We both wouldn't understand what our folks would say. But now, after 10 years of marriage even that problem has dissolved on it's own and though we cannot speak each others language we understand it well!"
Actress Sudha Chandran, a south Indian married into a Punjabi family says, "When my mother saw my husband for the first time it was a culture shock for her. South Indians are very particular about the way they dress. And Punjabis on the other hand are flamboyant. They are quite aggressive, whereas south Indians are very conservative and reserved. So, when my mother was expecting a simple guy wearing a shirt buttoned to the collar, she got a stud whose shirt buttons were open till the waist!"
