Can we forget the characters for a bit and imagine a real life situation because these tragic incidents do happen in India everyday.
Take a real life situation where the girl is made to marry someone else (via honour killing). We all accept that happens right? So she's completely broken because she still loves her boyfriend. But her in laws and husbands are all very nice. What do most women in that situation do? They ADJUST! They try to move on right? Even though in her heart she still loves her boyfriend who was brutally taken away from her. Is she cheating the in laws? Would you judge her? Because this crap happens all the time. Are you calling all those women who hide the truth about their ex CHEAP? Would you be able to tell your husband or in-laws? You say it like its a piece of cake but right now there must be thousands of women out there who still think about their ex but are acting like the dutiful wife. They're all disgusting right?
But here the girl told the truth, quite early on. What did she do that's so wrong? She just said she doesn't want to adjust or COMPROMISE on her OWN desires.
Why can't a girl do that?
