So why would she hold herself back...... that's true in say 40 % of indian aranged marraiges.... they perhaps don't love eachother to start off with but they are committed to each other...... they are mariaed and he has put the Mangal Sutra on her.... Comitting to cherish, support, help and nurture her... and viceversa...
And this committment is more powerful than any decalartion of love can be....That's the power of Mangal Sutra....
In such a scenario it doesn't matter taht whether your husband loves you or not but you know he he is yours and not anybody elses.....I think that's the main thing... Gauri feels Shiv is hers and not anybody else's.....
i agree with u rocky ...Gauri feels that its her right ,and being emotional in any sasural ,when a girl thinks that her husband comes first ,she would want to share her problems with him ,rather than anybodyelse ....i totally second ur thought ,marriage is a commitment and that is more than sufficient for u to show ur rights on ur husband ,or his rights on u ...
