00:52I was just really happy and I like sort of ran towards the car
00:56and I was trying to get in and people were trying to shove my lehenga inside the car
01:26๐ต
01:34On our first date after dinner, I was the one who took him home, I dropped him home
01:40So this was not like something that we'd planned because
01:43Oh we're gonna be you know breaking stereotypes
01:45That's how it's always been eight years of our life
01:48You know he'd call me even though he has a chauffeur driven car and everything
01:51And he'd call me and he'd be like can you pick me up, can we go here
01:54This is how our life started initially like how our relationship started initially
01:59And I'd be starting my marriage like that as well
02:24๐ต
02:41Now the girl should not wear the mangalsutra
02:44Why didn't you tie your husband the mangalsutra
02:46Why didn't you put a sindoor on his head
02:49And is he the one who's gonna give a baby now
02:51And you know that was that was really really sad

03:06But there was also a positive because a lot of women from all over the country messaged me
03:12Saying that they were really empowered seeing this video and they felt really happy
03:17And they would want to talk to their family about doing something like this
03:21But it's so difficult for them to do this
03:23It's that one day that they get to celebrate the way they want to
03:27You know like I mean a lot of women messaged me saying that
03:30If they spoke to their father about this they would freak out
03:33And you know they also love to drive but they can't do this
03:36They can't take their husband home
03:38And I was just really shocked
03:40They should be allowed by their parents to do whatever they want
03:45At least one day in their life
