Ratna #rolestroll _15

लाइफ ख़त्म नहीं होती हैं सर,  इतना ही कहना था
Movie - Sir


Ratna became a widow at the age of nineteen after being married against her will to a man who was chronically ill, just because they didn't demand any dowry. Back in village it meant an end to woman's life.She chose not to live as a baggage and start afresh. She moved to Bombay to work as an househelp to Ashwin who was an affluent well settled man. Ratna always felt that life is always easier for rich people until she saw her boss who once aspired to be an writer but had to leave everything to  handle family business and recently had his marriage being called off. She happens to be the only person who understood and inspired him. Afterall pain and dejection are inevitable, but misery is always optional.  It depends on us, what we make out of whatever that was wronged. Ratna choses to pursue learning tailoring and become a fashion designer one day. But its not as easy given how classist and biased is the society that we live in. She takes pride in being a servant,  does her work with utmost dignity and sincerity ; sends her savings back to village so that her younger sister complete her education. Ashwin enamoured her for who she was and once tells her that she is very brave while he couldn't be like her. She replies okay to that and rushes to know what the word brave actually meant. Things complicate when along with a mutual respect a sexual tension develope between them. Ashwin even contemplates to marry her but Ratna very politely yet affirmately declines the proposal as she didn't want to become a joke in front of the society. She choses to move out of the apartment with all her dignity and again start from scratch while also motivating Ashwin to choose to follow what he always wanted to do and gather the courage to break free of the social and emotional baggage that he has carried so long.
