First of all I don't like when people call women "maal" or "Item", basically I don't like objectification of women and same goes for men, Kunal is not an asset, he's a human
Secondly, Nandini is smarter than I thought, if you think about it, she invested roughly 100 rupees in kheer then say 5000 in Saree and landed a doctor and he's her punji, you know in Bihar, where dowry system is prevalent, they have fixed rates for doctors and engineers, a few years back I read that for a doctor a father pays around 10-20 lacs dowry and Nandini got a doctor in less than 10,000.
Note - Its a fun post, I don't support dowry
