I am surprised, a women who went to panchayat to spoke firmly against her husband (for whatever reasons) can not tell MIL that she is not pregnant.
She could simply told "its gol-gappe, Maa Begum"
And who the hell reveals details of his/her marriage to friend casually.
She went to told a very personnel detail of Murtasim to her friend. She is plain stupid.
