“If I get another chance I will have another swayamvar. This time, I will take my family’s help to select the right groom,” says Rakhi. “The swayamvar was an opportunity to find my perfect man. However, things didn’t go the right way. Shayad mera bad luck tha”.

But what went wrong between her and Elesh? “Elesh was not honest. He was bankrupt and loved going to nightclubs. He told me all this after our engagement. I am not the type to accept it,” she adds. So how was it being a bahu, “What bahu? Uske parents ne tu shagun bhi nahi kiya. They came for the show because Elesh forced them. They did not even bother to call me once during our courtship period.”
