Sunil: no, she is not working.
Colleagues: ok. By the way what is bhabhi’s qualification?
Sunil: she is a post-graduate and she had worked for a year in a MNC before marriage.
Colleagues: then why don’t you allow your wife to work in your consultancy?
Sunil: if she had gone for work then who will take care of my parents. Moreover I cannot find a highly qualified caretaker like my wife anywhere. Then he laughed.
On hearing these words, Aarushi was shocked and feels that she has been humiliated.
