AP: Sujata she is Marwadi technically na and we are also living in Kolkata na
Sujata: I know but men don’t believe in castes and stuff… But you know that for family’s happiness it is important if girl is of the same caste. Swara has been raised in the Bengali way she will not be able to adjust in this Marwadi house and I can’t get my Laksh married to her

Sujata: Before the Gadodia’s come home we will bribe the Panditji and tell him to say Laksh cannot get married to Swara
AP: Sujata this is wrong
