00:00Vinod said something about a marriage so I said have you have have you found the
00:07girl he said so he said yes I thought she's sitting right next to me I just
00:12went back home and you know screamed my happiness with that in front of my
00:48husband so I said have you have have you found the girl he said so he said yes I
01:06thought she's sitting right next to me I was so flabbergasted I just just didn't
01:11say anything I just went back home and you know screamed my happiness with that
01:17in front of my sister and that was about all and in fact my parents were not for
01:24it at all they said what on earth are you trying to get married to a person
01:27who's still studying and you haven't got a job or anything I said well at least
01:32having studied in modern school and having studied in St. Stephen's
01:37he would at least become a peon somewhere
01:41your parents came around pretty quickly but the problem you faced was that the
01:49lady who was to be your mother-in-law yes was dead against the marriage and in
01:53fact your father-in-law to be frankly admitted this to your parents and I
01:58gather from your book that after you got married for the first few nights you
02:02were made to sleep in a storeroom crammed full of utensils laughing that
02:08was it dreadful at the time no it wasn't you know somehow that was what it
02:14was but you were there with the ketli and the tawa and the kathoris and the
02:21glasses and all you see it wasn't a very big house and I didn't know where to
02:27sleep so we just slept why not with your husband but there was no room so was he
02:33in the storeroom with you so what did he make of the fact that he just got
02:38married to the lady he loved and she's been shoved in the storeroom he probably
02:42understood his family much more than I did so then we went off later on but it
02:48was five or four or five for three or four days that we spent there but didn't
02:53meet each other at all
02:56she was a much more open-minded person when somebody one of one of her
03:10granddaughters one of her daughters told her
03:15she is she's a very sensible girl she's from Miranda house
03:25or yeah it's a yes we have an IE a cookie a janty a came a puja curfew
03:30to do a jalati who jammed a puja curfew to tell Isam al-hota a total neck
03:37haram kardesh co diva not haram kardesh co is Leo's name Akal say but I hear I
03:42mean this is the kind of you know affection you get from people who
03:48probably you don't expect
03:55that on one occasion the two of you sat through three consecutive shows of my
04:06fair lady yeah what were you doing in the cinema hall for so long I'm very
04:12no but we came and we had we saw that one show came out there was a quality
04:19restaurant had a little bit of tea and went back in again went back in again
04:23then came back again then went back again ah it was something a we liked the
04:29film and and be be I'm being curious and prudent and be were you holding hands oh
04:35yes of course but that we didn't have to we had a house to hold hands in but which
04:40is why I wanted most people see three movies that ago cuz they're holding
04:44hands and snogging yeah but you had your own home to do that so what were you
04:47doing here for three shows where we were holding hands anyway
05:02you were only 49 at the time how did you handle it ah stuff very tough and even
05:12today I haven't quite accepted the situation you know because with which
05:21we know than me it was not just a marriage it was a very it was a love to
05:30not just an ordinary marriage then you khana pakadiya then Khalili and all that
