For example, Phool is happy by being a wife and having that ghoonghat. So that needs to change. But I feel that every woman should get to do what makes her feels good. Like, Jaya (Pratibha) wanted to study further. Even my character got such dialogues to mouth. Like, 'Maine bhi haq jama diya.' And I am also like that when it comes to dealing with an abusive husband. So, this film is so important even for single women."
