00:00Papa, would you like to see something?
00:02Yes, the face of your son-in-law.
00:05Papa, I am ordering something, would you like to eat?
00:07What?
00:08Your wedding sweets.
00:09Papa, there is a sale going on, do you want to put anything in the wish list?
00:12I have bought sherwani for you to wear at your wedding.
00:15Okay, do you want to go somewhere for darshan?
00:17Yes.
00:18Tell me.
00:19To your wedding dais.
00:21What kind of a boy do you want for me?
00:23Just the one who tolerates you.
00:26Papa, it is useless to talk to you.
00:30My third son is really annoyed.
00:38Neighbours, family friends, friends, they have just one thing to say, get married.
00:44My aunt tells me that if you don't get married now, you will only be left with leftover boys.
00:50When are you getting married? Get married soon.
00:53Who will ask you about your friends' wedding?
00:55If you don't get married, who will support you in old age?
00:58Settle down.
00:59I have heard, I have got married.
01:01The marriage was abusive, I got out of it.
01:04And now I am hearing it again.
01:05Why? Because my father is growing old.
01:08My mom was diagnosed with cancer.
01:11People would come and visit us.
01:13They had just one thing to say, get married.
01:16Why? Because mom wants to see you get married.
01:19My mother never wanted me to get married so early.
01:22Marriage doesn't mean just settle down.
01:24Why I don't want to settle down?
01:26Exactly, it has the word down in it.
01:28I don't want to settle down in life.
01:30I don't want to settle down with somebody.
01:32I'd rather grow, blossom and bloom with somebody.
01:35I have my own set of goals, my aspirations.
01:38You know, people think that marriage completes a woman.
01:42But I don't think that's true.
01:43I don't believe that any woman is incomplete.
01:46I am not a broken jigsaw piece puzzle looking for my missing piece in a man.
01:51In spite of having a very bad experience myself,
01:54I still believe in the concept of love, marriage, companionship.
01:57But I think we should be more accepting.
01:59The society needs to accept single women or single men
02:02or people who want to live single with more open arms.
02:05There has to be more space and room for them.
