This manifested in subtle ways, like women being expected to serve their spouses meals before eating themselves, or cooking for their exhausted husbands after a long workday, despite also being tired. More significantly, it meant women were often expected to sacrifice their careers to prioritize family wishes. These may seem like small things, right? But even a single drop can create a vast ocean. Aaidha is well aware of the societal position of women, but what will happen when she experiences it firsthand? Will she be able to continue her marriage with Rahil? Will her husband be like any typical Indian man, or the man she envisions? Will he understand her?
