She Was Forced To Marry A Poor Man… But Everyone Was Wrong

It’s time for you to get married.    I’m supposed to marry him?    Yes.    I don’t even know him. Why me? Why does my sister get to marry the man she loves? Why do I have to marry a stranger?    Stop being   picky, sister. You should be grateful someone wants to marry you.    You’re not finding me a husband.

 You’re just trying to get rid of me. Enough.    Your marriage is already decided. You don’t get in this family.         Mom, if you were still here, you would never treat me like this.    Let her cry. She should be grateful. At least someone is willing to marry her. Once she’s married, she’ll   be someone else’s problem.

   [snorts]    I’ll take you   with me. Mom, I’ll have a wedding like this someday.    Of course. You deserve better.    [cheering]    She’s so young. Why marry a man   in a wheelchair?    His family is poor. She only did it for the dowry.         To others, this was as a failed marriage. No one cared what I wanted.

      But the girl’s so young.    What a pity.    He’ll need help for the rest of his life.    You shouldn’t be forced   to live this life.    You don’t want to marry me?    I just think you deserve better.    But I don’t think a person’s   defined by his legs. I don’t know what the future holds, but from today on you   are my husband.

Finally, we won’t have to see her anymore. From today, she belongs to another family. Come in. It’s not as nice as your home. If you regret it, it’s not too late. I’m already married to Arjun. I won’t leave just because this family   is poor. Brother, I’ll leave   you two alone.    You must be tired today.

I know this isn’t the marriage you wanted. Don’t worry.         I won’t force you.    Why say that?    Without this marriage, you could have had a different life.         You don’t have to. I can do it myself.    But now, we are family.         Somehow, I’ll save this family. Mom, was life always like this?    Arjun wasn’t   like this before.

But after that day, everything changed.    [crying]    Don’t you   regret marrying my brother?    Why do you ask that? People say he’ll only be a burden. He’s in a wheelchair. But he deserves respect.         Mom, let me I it.    No, you should rest. You cared for this   family for years. Let me help now.

   Brother, she’s not like anyone else.         What happened?    Nothing. I’ll cook now. We need to earn more.    No, it’s okay.    Why?    I don’t want you to work so hard because of me.    But after we got married, this became our home.    You really think so?         Mom, I didn’t marry Arjun’s money.

We are family now. And we face life together.    Have some more.    Thank you, Mom. Mom never did this before.    Eat   your food.    Thank you. I haven’t seen Mom smile   in so long.    Does this sell well every day?    Of course. Everyone loves sweets.    She’s so young and beautiful. Yet she married a man in a wheelchair.

   Yes, yes. What a pity. If it were me, I couldn’t accept it.           Sister-in-law, what are you doing?    I want to sell this.    Sell jalebi?    We can build our life with our own hands.    What if you fail?    If we never try, nothing will   ever change.    Are you really going to do this?    I want to try.

   What if we fail?    Then we try   again.    Why work so hard?    Because I don’t want to just   live here. I want to belong here. Why are you here?    We started this together.    Isn’t that Arjun? You’re here helping with the stall, too?    Before he had some savings, now even the man in a wheelchair has to work.

   [laughter]    Let them talk.    A man in in a wheelchair and a new bride, what can you two do?    We can’t change change how people   see us, but we can prove ourselves. Maybe everyone was right.    No, it’s not because the jelly is bad. It’s because they haven’t tried it.    You really believe that? When everyone   says says we will fail, you are the only one who says we can try again.

   Because I know what it feels like         when everyone gives up on you.    Then tomorrow, we try again. Mom, I bet my sister’s having a miserable life now.    A husband in a wheelchair and no money, what kind life could she have?    When she sees my wedding, she’ll be jealous.    [laughter]    This is a good marriage, a husband with a house and money.

   Sister, I hope you’re happy for me. I hope you’re happy, too.         You don’t have to pretend you’re okay.    I am okay.    Maybe she has   what you should have had, a normal marriage. Sometimes I wonder if you had a choice, would you still choose me?         And I’m not looking back. Would you like to try one?    No, thank you.

   Just try one.    I said no.    I told you, no one wants to buy from them.    Are you okay?    I’m fine.    Arjun, go home. Don’t embarrass your   wife.    [laughter]      Would you like one?    No, we’re not buying   from them.    Wait. You don’t have to buy it. Let him   have one.    Mom, it’s delicious.

   How much? I’ll   buy some more.           I told you,   they just needed to try it.    Where did you learn to   make these?    My mother taught me.    You should try them. They’re   really good.    You’re not just buying out of pity, are you?    No, I’m saying this because it tastes good.

   Give me   one. It’s actually good.    Really? Is it that good?    Try it, you’ll know.         What’s going on? Are they really selling?    Looks like that girl really can make sweets.    We did it.    This is just the beginning.    Anaya, can you make more tomorrow?    More?    The whole village is talking about your jalebi.

   If there are really a lot of people coming tomorrow, we need to prepare more.    Where are you going?    To buy ingredients for tomorrow.    Mom, what’s this?    We have some left at home. Use these for now. If you’re making more tomorrow, get up early. I can help you.    Really?    I can’t let you do it alone.

   Thank you, Mom. Why are you just standing there? Come on.    Brother?    Mhm?    Do you like her?         Maybe. I just forgot what it feels like to be cared for.      That means you like her.    Mom, it’s them. That’s the jalebi I told you about.    Why are there so   many people today?    Auntie, give us six.

   You two make quite a good team. Two more boxes, please.    Why   are there so many people? Ananya? Wasn’t she supposed   to be miserable? Priya? I didn’t expect to see you selling here.    Yes. We come here every   day.    Priya, 10 more. Okay.    Let’s go.    She’s actually doing well.    We did it.

   We did it   together.    Arjun?    Arjun? It’s really you. We’ve been looking for you for years.    You know him?    You never told her? Not here.    Arjun? Who are you?    He wasn’t always like this. Before the accident.    Enough. I’m staying at the hotel in town. When you’re ready, call me.    You don’t have to tell me not when you’re ready.

I’ll listen.    Good morning, sir.    You may not be able to walk again. Vikram takes over the company. All your assets   have been transferred.    Why did everything disappear?    I should have told   you earlier. Before the accident, I owned a company in the city. I trusted my closest friend,   but he betrayed me and took everything.

Then I had the accident. I lost my company. I lost almost almost everything. And then came the accident.   After that, I stopped trying.    But you didn’t give up today. You started again   with me. Whatever happened before, you don’t have to face it   alone anymore. You’re home. I saw this dress today.

 I really liked it.    You already have enough clothes.    Okay.    Too salty.    I’m I’m sorry. I will make it again. Did you finish everything? Yes.    Then clean the kitchen again.    Mom, I can’t take it anymore. His mother criticizes everything I do. And he never cares about me.    Priya, marriage   isn’t always easy.

   But I thought I would be happy.    Just be patient. You have a good husband and a comfortable home. Don’t ruin your marriage over these little things.    So, I just have to endure it?    Yes. Give it time.    Your company’s in trouble.    What happened?    The man who betrayed you is trying to sell it.    Can he really sell your company?    If he sells it, you’ll lose everything you built.

You need to go back, Arjun.         Go back? After all these years?         If you want to get it back, I’ll go   with you.    Take care of each other.    We will, Mom.    Come back soon.    We will.         Bring back what you lost.    I will.    I’m going to miss them.    They’ll come back.

   I know. But I think my brother finally found his home. Are you nervous?    A little.    Don’t be nervous. We’ll face it together.    You haven’t changed, Arjun. You were lucky to find her.    Yes, I was.    Who are you?    I founded this company.    The owner is Mr. Vikram. Mr. Ram, please come in.    Sir, someone is here to   see you.

   Who?    Arjun?         You look surprised.    I thought you were gone.    I was. But I’m back.    You have no business being here. You don’t own   anything anymore.    We’ll see.    Are you okay?    I’m fine.    He’s scared.    Why?    Because he thought you’d never   come back.    I knew you would come back someday.

   Mr. Sharma, I never believed you stole that money.    Then why didn’t you say anything?    I tried. But Vikram fired everyone who questioned him.      Do you have any proof?    I kept these for   years. This is impossible.    What?    These documents   were changed after my accident. That’s not all.

There was someone else helping Vikram.    Who?    You need to find   the original company records. They’re still somewhere in your old office.    Then how can we   get them?    I’ll get them.         No, it’s too dangerous.    You trusted me when I had nothing. Now it’s my turn to help you.    Be careful.

   Is anyone there? Check the next floor.    For you, Arjun.    [sighs]    I found it.         Then tomorrow we take everything back.    Where did you get this?      From the company you stole from me. You betrayed your best friend. You took everything from me.    You have no proof.    Are you sure? These documents   prove that Arjun was framed.

Vikram falsified records and legally took control of the company. He will have   to face legal consequences for what he did. I trusted you like a brother.         You chose this path.    I knew Mr. Arjun was innocent.    He built this company with nothing. For always One Tribe.    Welcome back, sir.

   Welcome back, Mr. Arjun.    Thank you for waiting. I’m back.      I always knew you would come back.    I thought I lost   everything.    But you never lost the person you were. Thank you for believing in me.    No, sir. Thank   you for coming back.    You did it.    We did   it.    Oh, is that Arjun?   He came back?    Now that you have your company back, will you stay in   the city?    No.

I want to build something here.         The factory will be built here. There will be enough space for everyone to work.    A factory here?    Yes. A factory for this   village.    But why?    Because no one should have to leave their home   just to find work.    Thank you, Kamala aunty.    Enjoy, beta.

   We don’t have to leave village anymore.    Our children can stay with us. We can earn money here.    You gave this village a future.    No. Anna gave me a new beginning.    Arjun’s new factory has created jobs for hundreds of families.   Arjun? He owns a company? I thought she was the   unlucky one.

But I was wrong.    Are you feeling okay?         We’re going to have a baby.    Really? I’m going to be an aunt.         My daughter.    Sometimes the person everyone looks down on becomes the reason everyone believes   again.
