yes gaayu I just lued the way how proudly shaan said that.
she has always been a woman of substance
.She fought for justice fearlessly at dhulwadi inspite of so many pressures., put the family in front when the need arised., and even thought that a life should not go in vain just because the villagers were angry and hence agreed to marry shaan.She has been a wise woman throughtut
Even after marrying she has had immsense patience in dealing with MR.Agarwal, adjusting to new situation without any help, tackling the angry shaan at the same time pointing out his irresponsibility and making him work.,always wishing hubby's happiness inspite of the fact that he was not ineterested in her then etc., etc., et., and finally securing hubby's love sheerly on the basis of her merits.She has been a friend ,philosopher and guide to shaan always expecting nothing but his happiness in return.
Yes truly khanak is a woman of substance., and this only shows that one need not be highly educated yet can be smart. And she also has all the feminine qualities plus the manly qualties of courage, fearlessness, etc etc.,and when the need is there she does not shy away i like this quality in her a lot.
