00:00Samandar Paar Maaika

00:02You must have heard a famous saying about a joint family.

00:06That the most responsible person in the family is the one who is the most tortured.

00:12And the one who remains irresponsible all his life,

00:16has no responsibility on him, nor does he have any struggle in his life.

00:20Because everyone ignores him by considering him irresponsible.

00:26And a wise person has to pay the price of his wisdom all his life.

00:31Such is the story of the Shakuntala family living in Jaunpur.

00:36Shakuntala had two sons living in Jaunpur.

00:39Elder son Arun and younger son Navin.

00:41Arun's wife's name was Nirja and Navin's wife's name was Anandi.

00:46Shakuntala's mother-in-law's home was in Jaunpur city.

00:49Shakuntala's mother-in-law was the only daughter of her mother's family.

00:52That's why she was everyone's favorite.

00:55Maybe there was a day when Shakuntala didn't go to her mother's home.

00:59Leaving all the responsibilities of the family on Nirja,

01:03Shakuntala went to her mother's home with great pleasure.

01:06Look daughter-in-law, my sister-in-law is not feeling well.

01:09So I will go to my mother's home.

01:11Till then you take care of everything here.

01:14Will you take care of everything daughter-in-law?

01:16Don't worry mother-in-law, you go without any worries.

01:19I will take care of everything here.

01:21You come back after meeting your mother-in-law.

01:24After explaining everything to daughter-in-law,

01:27Shakuntala packed her bag and left for her mother's home.

01:30Three days later, on the phone.

01:32Mother-in-law, how is your mother-in-law's health?

01:35She is fine. Doctor has given her medicine.

01:38He has asked her to rest.

01:40That's very good that your mother-in-law is fine now.

01:44Actually, my mother-in-law had called.

01:47My uncle's daughter is getting engaged.

01:50So I was thinking if you could come,

01:52I would come to my mother-in-law's home.

01:54Your mother-in-law's home is not nearby.

01:57It is not even five minutes away,

01:59that you will reach your mother-in-law's home.

02:01Going to your mother-in-law's home means

02:03one day you will have to go,

02:05one day you will have to come.

02:06And at least you won't come back

02:08within a week.

02:10No, no dear.

02:11I can't send you to your mother-in-law's home for so many days.

02:14You know that if you go,

02:16who will look after the house?

02:18And I have to come and go.

02:20And anyway, your mother-in-law's health is not good.

02:24Now if I have to go to my mother-in-law's home suddenly,

02:27who will look after the house from behind?

02:29Mother-in-law, all that is fine.

02:31But you said that your mother-in-law's health is fine now.

02:34So please come.

02:36I will go to my mother-in-law's home.

02:38Since childhood, I have been very attached to my cousin Meenakshi.

02:42Now if I don't reach her engagement,

02:44everyone will feel very bad.

02:46And aunty had already invited me to come six months ago,

02:49so that I don't make any excuse at the last moment.

02:53What am I saying?

02:55And you are busy narrating your Ram story.

02:58Dear, after marriage,

03:00it is the first duty of a daughter-in-law

03:02to fulfill the responsibilities of her in-laws.

03:04If it was your in-laws,

03:06they would have left everything behind.

03:08Now you see,

03:10your in-laws are more important to you than your mother-in-law.

03:13If your mother-in-law was around,

03:15I would never have stopped you from going.

03:18But your mother-in-law,

03:20you should understand that it is very far.

03:22It takes eight hours to reach there.

03:25To go so far,

03:27you need time and money.

03:29Now if I send you to your mother-in-law's home for a week,

03:32my family will be ruined.

03:35You tell me,

03:37how will your father-in-law and your children's food and drink be?

03:41You will not be able to manage it now.

03:43You call your aunt and tell her

03:45to sort out the engagement somehow.

03:47You can go for the wedding.

03:50After listening to her mother-in-law,

03:52daughter-in-law Nirja's face was completely relieved.

03:54Meenakshi was her cousin sister.

03:56They had been playing and studying together since childhood.

03:59In Nirja's wedding, Meenakshi did not leave any stone unturned.

04:02In the wedding preparations, she took care of everything.

04:06But now at her wedding

04:09Nirja was not even able to attend the function.

04:13The preparations were very far.

04:15Nirja was very sad.

04:17She was feeling very helpless.

04:20But as it is said,

04:21In a marital home, there is no one to listen to a daughter-in-law's feelings.

04:25By hiding her feelings

04:27Nirja sat in her room with a sad face

04:31and called her mother.

04:33Mom, I don't have the courage to call aunt.

04:37Please call aunt and tell her

04:39that I will not be able to come for Meenu's engagement.

04:42Why won't you be able to come?

04:44When your aunt had already sent an invitation to your in-law's house so many months ago.

04:49She knew that you need time to book a ticket.

04:53What excuse will you make now?

04:55Every time you make an excuse to avoid the matter

04:58that how can I arrange the ticket so soon?

05:01This time you had got all the time to buy the ticket.

05:05Mom, why don't you understand?

05:07Now I am married. I am not of my own free will.

05:11Now I will do as my in-laws say.

05:15Is your sister stopping you from coming?

05:19So let me talk to her.

05:21I will ask her.

05:22Why are you so angry with us?

05:25Why are you not allowing your daughter to come for the wedding?

05:28There is no need for that, mom.

05:30Aunt is not keeping well.

05:33She has to go for 2-3 rounds a week.

05:36Now if I also come, who will look after the house from behind?

05:39That's why aunt is not allowing me to go for the engagement.

05:43But she has promised that she will not stop me from going for the wedding.

05:47Dear, your aunt is not keeping well.

05:50Isn't there anyone else in her house to look after her?

05:53Other than your mother-in-law?

05:56Isn't there anyone who can look after her?

05:59It's not like that, mom.

06:01Aunt has children and daughters-in-law. She has a whole family.

06:04But I cannot tell this to mom.

06:08So what is the point of stopping you from coming here?

06:12She herself goes to her parents' house every day.

06:14But whenever her daughter-in-law has to go to her parents' house

06:17She makes excuses and cuts off your conversation.

06:20If you don't say what you want to say, it will always remain like that.

06:25There is no point in making excuses, mom.

06:28Let it go.

06:30If I say something, everyone will feel that I am only concerned about my sister's engagement.

06:36I don't care if someone in my in-laws' house lives or dies.

06:40You are not understanding, mom.

06:42A small issue can become a big issue.

06:44Apologise to aunt on my behalf.

06:47After the engagement, I will call her and try to make her understand.

06:52For a week, Nirja's mind was disturbed.

06:55Because she did not send her daughter-in-law to her in-laws' house for such an important function.

06:59Shakuntala was very upset with her daughter-in-law.

07:02Shakuntala was not taking care of her responsibilities at home.

07:05Often she would go on a trip with her in-laws.

07:09Sometimes she would go with her sisters-in-law to Kitty.

07:11Sometimes she would go to someone's birthday function or marriage.

07:16In short, Shakuntala was living a very happy life.

07:19But her daughter-in-law Nirja was like a prisoner.

07:25Whenever Nirja would talk about going to her in-laws' house,

07:28Shakuntala would say that she would stay away from her in-laws' house.

07:33Slowly, time passed.

07:35And Nirja's sister-in-law Anandi also became a bride and reached Shakuntala's house.

07:42Sister-in-law, it is monsoon season.

07:44I will go to my in-laws' house in the monsoon season.

07:46It will be fun.

07:48I will apply henna and buy new clothes.

07:50I will have a lot of fun there.

07:52You will go to your in-laws' house only when your mother-in-law will allow you to go.

07:55Mother-in-law refuses to go to her in-laws' house.

07:59You also ask her.

08:00You may not believe me.

08:03How can she not allow me to go?

08:05All the girls go to their in-laws' house in the monsoon season.

08:08Mother-in-law, what problem does mother-in-law have with going to her in-laws' house?

08:11Anandi goes to her mother-in-law Shakuntala.

08:15Mother-in-law, it is monsoon season.

08:17We celebrate monsoon season in our in-laws' house.

08:20I will go to my in-laws' house tomorrow.

08:22I will come back after celebrating monsoon season.

08:24You may go.

08:25No problem.

08:26I am also going to my in-laws' house for the monsoon season.

08:30Mother-in-law, if all of you go, how will you manage here?

08:33Aunt will also come for the monsoon season.

08:36What is the problem in managing?

08:39You are not going anywhere.

08:41Your in-laws' house is so far away.

08:43You cannot go anywhere.

08:44You will stay here.

08:45Your aunt will come from behind.

08:46You take care of her.

08:48I am leaving for my in-laws' house.

08:50And Chhoti too.

08:51It is her first season.

08:52Let her go.

08:54You are intelligent.

08:56You know everything.

08:57You know how to treat the guests.

09:00I have complete faith in you.

09:02You will handle everything well.

09:05All of them left for their in-laws' house.

09:09But Nirja was busy welcoming the guests.

09:15Anandi and Shakuntala were talking about their trip.

09:20Their hands were decorated with henna.

09:23Both the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were happy.

09:26But Nirja was sad.

09:31My brother and sister-in-law gave me a beautiful sari.

09:35My sister-in-law wanted me to stay there till Raksha Bandhan.

09:38But I said no.

09:40I have to take care of household chores.

09:43She goes to her in-laws' house every 5th day.

09:46But she is so sad.

09:48As if she wants to see her family.

09:51My family lives in Delhi.

09:54So I never get a chance to go to my in-laws' house.

09:57Do people who live far from their in-laws' house never go to their in-laws' house?

10:01Everyone is concerned about themselves.

10:03There is no one in this house to think about me.

10:05A week later.

10:07Mom, there are only a few days left for Raksha Bandhan.

10:10This time I will go to my in-laws' house for Raksha Bandhan.

10:13I have not been able to go to my in-laws' house for Raksha Bandhan for many years.

10:17Now my younger sister is here.

10:19You hand over the responsibility of the house to my younger sister.

10:21This time I have to go to my in-laws' house.

10:24Daughter-in-law, this is not the way to talk to your mother-in-law.

10:28Are you asking me or ordering me?

10:31It has been 4 days since Raksha Bandhan.

10:34She does not know how to take care of the household chores.

10:37She does not know how to welcome the guests.

10:40She does not even know all her relatives.

10:43How can I leave the house and go to my in-laws' house?

10:47What difference does it make whether she goes or not?

10:50Her mother-in-law's house is just a few steps away.

10:53She will go to her in-laws' house, tie Rakhi and come back.

10:56But if you go to your in-laws' house, you will not come back before 4 days.

11:00No, no, no, I cannot send you.

11:02You do one thing, call your brother here.

11:05In which book is it written that only the daughter-in-law will go to her in-laws' house to tie Rakhi?

11:10If the sister is not able to go, then it is the duty of the brother to come to his sister's house to tie Rakhi.

11:17Mother, I am not the only sister of my brother.

11:20If he comes here to tie Rakhi, then whom will my two sisters tie Rakhi to?

11:26What do I know about all this?

11:29You understand this.

11:30You have not been able to tie Rakhi to your brother for so many years.

11:34Once your sister does not tie Rakhi to him, he will be able to do it.

11:38Hearing what her mother-in-law said, Nirja's mind was cheated once again.

11:42She calls her mother and says,

11:45Mother, please send your brother to Rakshabandhan this time.

11:49It has been so many years since I tied Rakhi to my brother.

11:52My in-laws do not allow me to go to my mother's house.

11:56And my in-laws never come to meet me.

12:01My fate is full of loneliness.

12:04No one is worried about me.

12:06Why are you saying this, dear?

12:08Who else will be more worried about you than us?

12:11But how will your brother be able to come to Rakshabandhan?

12:15He has to go to his mother's house along with your sister-in-law.

12:19And your two sisters will also come to tie Rakhi to him.

12:22You do one thing. I will book a ticket for you. You come.

12:26If I could come, I would not have told you.

12:29Anyway, let it be. I will hang up now.

12:32Nirja, you have tolerated enough.

12:35Earlier your mother-in-law used to do as she pleased.

12:37Now that your brother-in-law has come, there is no improvement in your situation.

12:41Your brother-in-law has complete freedom.

12:43Whenever he feels like, he goes to his mother's house.

12:47On every festival, he meets his family.

12:50And you are the one who has been punished by your in-laws.

12:55You will have to raise your voice to improve your future.

12:59Otherwise no one will understand what you are going through.

13:03Nirja, your mother-in-law and brother-in-law come from one mother's house and go to another.

13:08They have forgotten that you also have a mother's house.

13:12And sometimes you also feel like going to your family and meeting them.

13:17You tell me, what should I do?

13:19Whenever I talk about going to my mother's house, I am told that your mother's house is across the ocean.

13:26It will take a lot of time to travel so far.

13:29Let it be now. You can go some other time.

13:31Nirja, your mother-in-law says that your mother's house is far away.

13:35That is why you cannot go to your mother's house every day.

13:38You can go to your mother's house once a year from now.

13:41But don't go back before two months.

13:44When they take care of the responsibilities of the entire house for two months alone.

13:48Then they will understand your value.

13:51You are right, Mother.

13:53If we stay together for a year, Anandi and I can stay in our mother's house for more than two months.

14:00From now on, you also have to do the same.

14:03Get your ticket and don't go back before two months.

14:07Nirja was right about her mother.

14:09That is why she goes to her mother-in-law after getting her mother's house ticket for the next month.

14:14Mother, it has been more than a year. I have not gone to my mother's house.

14:18You do one thing. Tie a Rakhi on the Rakshabandhan and come home.

14:22Then you will stay at home and I will go to my mother's house.

14:26But if you go, who will take care of the house?

14:29Just as I take care of you when you are not at home.

14:32Similarly, you and Anandi take care of me when I am not at home.

14:36What is the problem in this, Mother?

14:38And anyway, you keep saying that there is no work at home that is tiring.

14:45There is no such special work.

14:47I am sure you will handle it very well.

14:51Nirja leaves her mother-in-law's room without hearing her mother-in-law's reply.

14:57After a year, Nirja went to her mother's house.

15:00But this time, she was not worried about returning to her in-laws' house.

15:03Because she had already decided that she will make everyone realize her importance.

15:08After a week,

15:10When are you coming? I have to go to my sister's house.

15:14Her son has been adopted. So it is necessary to go.

15:17Get your return ticket quickly.

15:20Mother, it has been only 10 days since I have come.

15:24If you want to go, then go. Chhoti will take care of everything.

15:28What will she take care of?

15:30She cannot even cook properly.

15:32I have to go with her to cook food.

15:35Otherwise, everyone gets their breakfast at night.

15:37You come, dear. There is no work here without you.

15:40Mother, I will not get my return ticket now.

15:44And you always say that you have taken care of the whole house alone for so many years.

15:49There is no such special work at home.

15:51Never mind.

15:53If you are not able to take leave, you can manage for a few days.

15:56Even people who have a job, have the right to take leave.

16:01I have worked day and night at home, without taking any leave.

16:06Even I have some pending leaves. Isn't it?

16:09Okay, fine. I will see to it that you celebrate your holidays.

16:14After listening to Nirja, Shakuntala understood

16:17That in the past so many years, without taking any rest

16:21How could Nirja manage everything alone?

16:24Leaving all responsibilities on her, while going to her maternal home and enjoying

16:29Shakuntala and Anandi never cared about how difficult it would be for Nirja to manage everything alone.

16:35Shakuntala understood the importance of Nirja.

16:39Forgive me, daughter-in-law. I have troubled you a lot by putting all the responsibilities of the house on you.

16:45I have never praised you for your sacrifice.

16:48From now on, whether it is work or holidays, everyone's share will be equal.

16:53You don't worry. Just come home soon. This house needs you a lot.

16:59After listening to the mother-in-law, Nirja was very satisfied today.

17:03After celebrating a whole month's holiday, this time when Nirja returned

17:08She was not feeling burdened, but was feeling light.
