Mrs. Khandelwal: Something I have to do |
No one a strong Mrs. Madhavi Khandelwal to showcase an emotional outburst accusing her husband of not giving her enough time which pushed their marriage to the brink of separation. |
Now that the viewers know that she is not happy with her married life and is adamant on parting ways with a career-driven Sunil, we approached her and she willingly poured her heart out and in fact minced no words in saying that she doesn't want to save her marriage as the couple is incompatible. Well what held her back all this long was her children - Akshay and Shaan. Hear her out!
One never expected me to have an emotional outburst, but I felt that enough was enough. I accused Sunil of not giving me enough time which pushed our marriage to the brink of separation. I am not happy with my marriage and I want to part ways with Sunil. I didn't do this for all these years for the sake of our children Akshay and Shaan, but now enough's enough.
I think we tried to camouflage the problems and issues between us for long and it was bound to burst one fine day. I had been contemplating on a divorce for quite some time now but it was our children that stopped me from taking a step as drastic as this. I sincerely think that Sunil and I are incompatible.
There was communication gap between Sunil and me. He didn't have the time to devote to his wife. Ever since we got married, he was always busy with his business and later I got busy in raising the children. We never got to spend the quality time together. Later, I realised that we share nothing in common. We have different set of friends and have different likings. Also divorce is still considered to be a taboo. I feel a woman must follow her heart when it comes to her life. If she feels that separating from her husband and starting afresh would give her peace, she must do it. Unfortunately, it's not always the case, you know, especially in Indian society. Many women are unable to muster the courage to announce that they want to end their marriage as they won't be able to sustain without their husband's support, more so economic. Women who suffer the most are the ones who are not earning and are solely dependent on their husband's income for survival.
I think every woman goes through tough times when she is laying down the foundation of any relationship. I too had my share of issues with my husband. The main reason was that we come from different professions and acting as everybody knows can be quite demanding and time-consuming. I think the best way to curb the differences is to make your husband see what you do. Take your husband to your work-station to see how it functions. Also divide your time equally between your work and family if not more. You have to resort to the trial and error method where at times things fall in place and the other times they simply fall through.
It's going to be tough, especially on the kids. You enter in a marriage, have kids, bring them up to realise that the marriage no longer works for you. Isn't it a setback for you as an individual who might end his/her marriage? And what's better for children - watching their parents fight day in and day out over petty issues or watching their parents go separate ways to avoid any further clashes. If you ask me I think divorce is better than regular fights where you end up dragging your respective families.
And I know one thing and I have my pride in saying this. I will not look to Khanak for any help. To me, Khanak is an outcaste. She is doing something which is bound to earn praises from her husband as Shaan is getting all the attention and love that he didn't get earlier. But the question here is do I really want to save my marriage with Sunil. I don't want to and so the question of taking advise to mend bridges doesn't rise here.
So to know what happens when I deal with Khanak and Shaan, as they try and save our marriage.
