In Rajasthan, ladies have ditched pallus after the present, they proceed with their schooling after marriage, and conventional girls have performed B.ed. We grow to be actors so that folks relate to our work, even Mangal is a personality like that. Individuals will settle for this too, as a result of each Indian girl will relate to the suppression that goes on within the households, they usually tolerate it for a peaceable life. I really feel honored to be part of this present.”
