Malini's parents are right to hesitate. Put yourself in their situation. All that hard earned money if they give upfront and everything goes away for the family...what happens when their daughter or grand children genuinely need it ? Every parent of the girl wil react this way only...I feel sorry for both Raghavan and Malini. Both Malini’s parents and Raghavan’s mother and sister are very selfish. Once parents give a gift, money or jewellery it‘s their daughter’s, they can’t hang on to it. Rakavi ma, you are narrating the reality of this world, ma. Well done.
Ragavan's family reaction is purely insecurity...if he gets a family of his own, likely he may leave them is also real worry... because வரவ எப்படி இருப்பாளோ? Plus this is love marriage... இன்னுமே பயம் ... natural right?
