Niyati On Sahara One

Does the responsibility of a girl towards her parents end with her marriage? Sahara One’s social drama “Niyati” deals with the dilemma that women face when they start on a new life with their husband and his family. It is the story of Niyati Sharma, coming from a middle-class family from Nagpur… a practical girl who has grown up appreciating her father’s hard work to get his daughters educated and her mother’s sacrifices to supplement their meager family income. When Niyati gets a job, she gets the opportunity to bring home her salary and give her parents some much needed relief from their incessant struggle to make

ends meet. A marriage proposal comes for Niyati from the Shastri family, a large joint family where all the sons including the married ones hand over their earnings to their mother, who rules the household with an authoritarian hand. Niyati gets married and is a dutiful daughter-in-law. Continuing her job, she follows the family practice and hands over her earnings to her mother-in-law.
