Divorce your abusive husband but still stay in his house. Why spend money on housing and utilities?
Tell the world you are not ready for any new relationships but marry a rich business tycoon within few months of your divorce.
Tell your new husband how you were not allowed to even have a bank account so that he is emotionally manipulated to hand over his entire empire to you.
When your husband buys branded cutlery set for his daughter, send him on a guilt trip by saying that he is spoiling his kid, but thank him for admitting your useless son in a wellness center. Don't let your husband drive his daughter to school by car as kids need to learn to ride autos, but bring your 21 year old daughter to your second husband's home by his car. Put hair pack on your adult kid's hair but always let your husband make your adopted daughter's hair. Bring haldi dudh for the son who pushes you, but let your husband's 7 years old kid pack your tiffin.
Feel uncomfortable to wear your husband's choice of clothes, but send your pic in western clothes to your abusive ex hubby, FIL.
Cry about not being able to enjoy festivals with your grand daughter because of ailing husband, but celebrate Dhanteras and Deewali without Poti. When husband was sick her first priority was her poti, but now when everything is alright, she does not even remember she has a poti.
Makers have really created an inspirational character. They showed how through minimum effort( in her case the only effort was to dance in her college annual program) a 12th pass non English speaking housewife can set her and her kids life.
From being an abused and neglected wife and mother to an abusive and careless wife and mother sums up her journey of empowerment. Kudos to the makers for showing true women empowerment.
