Sad but true.

There are studies done that show the more rich, good looking or famous you are. You are more likely to cheat because you have options regardless of being married or not. (Not generalizing but it is true to some extent) Cheating is more prevalent in bollywood than you would believe. Most people both married and unmarried keep it a hush/hush due to the classic "log kya kahenge."

Yes, Indian parents are more pressurizing on their children in this regardless. A better movie would be Akash Vaani.

It really depends. I know couples who have stopped having sex years and years ago and still are friends and raise kids and have their separate "hobbies". As long as one party is not oppressed and made to endure a situation against their will-then whatever works for the couple is great.

I also know people on their third and even fourth marriage and except the really abusive ones, many regret that first divorce-because there are no perfect people. Once you live with them, they grow old, fat, lose money, hair, jobs etc etc and change. I wonder if that true love you see in the movies is just young puppy love and then reality strikes.

I think we shouldn't it, what that character said is his perspective..... Normally, at least from what I have seen people support their daughters in bad marriages....

One of my neighbours married a jerk, and last year her brother went to her in laws and helped her a step of leaving the house.... even now if she wants to remarry or not is entirely her decision.

Just started watching it right now. I actually like Aparna and totally relate to her. 😆Your spouse is the only person you pick so why settle.

I think in Bollywood marriages, reitsh and genelia have been together for years since she was 16 years old, now they are married with kids, they seem happy together. Also aftab with his wife seem happy too.

But in reality we don't know what goes on people's relationship. I know this one girl who went against her family and fall in love with a guy who family don't approve of, now she's in abusive relationship with that guy and sadly she don't have family support. Poor thing don't have the financial stability to move on because she has children with that guy.

It's sad to be in unhappy relationship, it's better to be single and happy. If you found someone to make you happy than great.

While watching "Indian Matchmaking", a show on Netflix, I realized something important. For those who haven't watched it, there's a single mom Rupam seeking help from a matchmaker for her second marriage. It was uncomfortable to watch her interact with her dad while seeing the biodatas of prospective grooms. He kept warning her not to make a hasty decision as she had messed up the first time. It looked like he kind of blamed her for choosing a wrong guy the first time and now she has to be extra cautious.

Marriage is a gamble right? Love marriage or arranged marriage, doesn't matter. It can be a smooth ride, or there could be minor hiccups, or it could be a disaster from the very beginning, or it could have it's ups and downs.

Single guys/girls are constantly pressurized to get married but if you think of divorcees then what they go through is worse. There's the baggage of past, then the constant scrutiny of near and dear ones, uncertain future etc.

So, coming to the topic there are many unhappy marriages in Bollywood and I always used to judge the women/men for staying on and not having a backbone. But maybe there's more to it? Maybe they know what they can expect if they choose to walk out? Maybe a cheating spouse is better than an uncertain future and single life...maybe a known devil is better than an unknown angel?

What do you guys think?

Marriage is risky and takes a lot of work but anything in ones life that’s worth having is worth fighting for.

I thought getting marriage was the final boss an I win the video game. But Damn near there’s a new boss everyday 😈😈😆

they paired her up with guys that don't match her criteria, just for some TV drama and to paint her as a TV villian..

Aparna knows what she wants, doesn't put up with crap ..why should anyone "adjust" or "compromise" or "be flexible" like Sima aunty reminds every 10 mins..

One of the reasons, Indian society followed marriage in tender age especially in the case of girls is , it is easy to mould their personality as per the need of husband and family. I am not saying that Genelia, Riteish marriage worked because of that , but many marriages in modern era ends up in divorce because women is not willing to compromise blindly as they used to do in the past. Of cource it is not their fault , being aware of their rights, not compromising the injustice, refuse to be a doormat ,is the right thing to do, but our society considers it as an issue. The upbringing , perspectives of women has changed, but somewhere men and the perspectives regarding women has not changed accordingly.

What about the needs of the girl? Does the guy and his family mould themselves according to the girl even a little?

If the girl is too educated, she will find it difficult to adjust.

If she's "older" (late 20s or early 30s) she will be too rigid and may not compromise

If she's too modern (this is said by so many aunties) : she will not have Indian values and will not respect Indian culture.
