After she settled in her career path, her parents began their hunt to find the perfect groom and complete their responsibility in life.

“Tu pagal hai kya?” “Why do you need a therapist? “What is wrong with your life?” “Why are you depressed, you have everything in life?” “Depression is such a first world problem” “I can’t afford to get depressed, my whole family will break!”
