Q1 of 31 Page 20

Veena is a dutiful daughter-in-law. Do you agree/disagree? Justify.

Veena is not a dutiful daughter-in-law. Veena was a girl he had picked out for him in her own village, the daughter of a childhood friend, a plump and uneducated girl, it was true, but so old-fashioned, so placid, so complaisant that she slipped into the household and settled in like a charm, seemingly too lazy and too good-natured to even try and make Rakesh leave home and set up independently, as any other girl might have done. Rakesh’s wife was a self-possessed, a selfish woman from the countryside. She had no love for anyone – not to mention her father-in-law. She was tactful so quite tactfully she kept herself out of Varmaji’s way. She would smirk sliding merrily through the air as if it shows Varmaji that she didn’t care.
