On November 8, 2023, Sanya Malhotra shared the teaser of ‘Mrs’ in which she was spotted acing the role of a stereotypical daughter-in-law despite her husband and father-in-law complaining. She loves to dance and participate in cultural events, however, despite all her wishes, her life revolves around taking care of her family, serving her husband hot and fluffy chapatis, and preparing hundreds of dishes at events or when the guests arrive.
A prominent scene in the film shows Sanya’s character, Richa, touching the feet of her husband. Later in the kitchen, he told her that she had to adhere to the rules of his family and home. Richa reverts, “Or else, what can you do?”
The film highlights how despite living in the 21st century and calling ourselves progressive, we still see the role of a woman as cleaning after her husband and kids, cooking delicacies for the family, serving hot piping meals on the table, and leaving all her dreams behind. It would be interesting to see how Rich will break the boundaries of her household to follow her dreams and build individuality.
