This Woman’s FB Post Will Change Your Perspective About Married Women

Executive Producer at Network18, Suganndha Bhattacharya recently wrote a note. that created a ruffle on the internet.
She begins by writing:
“[A woman] might look better dressed, maybe wearing an ornament or two, that mark her married. But she’s still a girl at heart, sindoor and bindi don’t make her a woman.”
Somewhere in the middle of this short note, Suganndha states:
“Marriage doesn’t suddenly turn a girl into a woman.”
And, that’s where she gets ALL our attention.
If you read it carefully, you can find few questions hidden in her note. For example – How do Sindoor, Mangalsutra, and other symbols of marriage transform a girl into a woman? And, if it is okay to expect her to be a different person just because she is married?
“I look around and wonder why do people look at a married woman differently? She might look better dressed, maybe wearing an ornament or two, that mark her married. But she’s still a girl at heart, sindoor and bindi don’t make her a woman. She may be still learning how to run a home, she still might be struggling taking care of not just herself but two and more people, she might not always like to hear ‘what does your husband do’… Marriage doesn’t suddenly turn a girl into a woman. For that matter having kids doesn’t necessarily do the same either. Celebrate who she really is, celebrate the child in her, she may be anyone around you, ur friend, ur sister, ur mother, a total stranger. She’s not supposed to be responsible for innumerous things, countless chores, it’s just her desire for perfection that she does what she does. This is for every wonderful woman I know. Grow up… but take your own sweet time & let the li’l girl in you live forever. And for all my male friends… cherish her, spoil her and most importantly let her be… She wasn’t born to take care of you, it’s her heart that makes her do so :)”
Do you know, this writer-director has been a part of some of the most sensible movies from today’s era like Special26, Paa, and Baby?
Her words make sense to us. Do you think the same?
