We all know this story. We have seen it in Abhimaan with Amitabh and Jaya. Man supports woman, encourages her to follow her dreams but doesn't know how to deal with the changed situation once she takes wings. There is envy of course, but there is also an unwillingness to adapt to changing gender roles. There is lack of preparation to deal with a society which goes from a cheering squad to a jeering mob. For a writer like Mannu Bhandari who is a master at the psychological analysis of her characters, this situation is a goldmine. Although in this book, the treatment remains on well established grounds (but then the discourse has moved much further along since the book was published).
In a sense, this play leads into her magnum opus Aapka Bunty.
