"Not every happily-ever-after is written in gold-some come veiled in silence and sacrifice."
Aditi Agrawal is 35, confident, independent, and content with her life as a successful architect in Hyderabad-despite her family's growing desperation to see her married. Years after a heartbreak that left scars deeper than she lets on, Aditi has no desire to seek love again. But when her parents convince her to meet the seemingly perfect Shashank Gupta, a charming and progressive businessman from a reputed builder family, she hesitantly agrees.
What begins as a gentle, promising arranged match soon blossoms into a whirlwind romance. Shashank is kind, understanding, respectful-everything Aditi ever wished for but never believed existed. Within months, they marry. A dream fulfilled.
But dreams have a dark side.
Behind closed doors, Shashank reveals a sinister patriarchal mindset. Aditi is asked-then forced-to give up her career. Kindness turns into commands, love into control, affection into abuse. And what began with rose petals ends in bruises, humiliation, and silent screams.
Veil of Perfection is a haunting yet courageous tale of a woman who dares to reclaim her voice in a marriage that promised everything but gave her nothing. It explores the societal pressure on Indian women to marry, and the unspoken horrors many endure in the name of tradition.
