Two ladies in the Indian Cinema

The beautiful lady draped in a saree

that listens to her in-laws and husband 

is deemed as perfect and sanskari


Wears gold jewelry and does the chores 

She prays every day and doesn't complain

She is always up before four 


She should be the role model of every girl

they should aspire to be a mother

and consider their family their whole world 


Then there is the driven and career-focused woman

Always seemed to be portrayed as spiteful and snarky

Girls are always told to never be like one


She is passionate and driven

She wants a career

and not to be under someone's submission


Why is she not the role-model too

Of the girls who don't want to be limited to being a mother

The world is changing why can't the Indian Cinema's view


Both are beautiful and smart in their own way

yet, somehow, only one accepted

We hear only one's voice and the other doesn't get a say
