Her Story: Marital Home! - 3

In my last post, the new bride found herself in a joint family in Delhi. What would it have been like if she were to marry into a similar large clan in Mumbai? This song from "Piya Ka Ghar" (1972) comes to mind when one thinks of the Mumbai scenario. In this film, Basu Chatterjee addressed the issue of privacy--or lack thereof--for a newly-wed couple forced to share a one-room tenement with many others in the family.

Trivia: This film was a remake of a popular Marathi film "Mumbaicha Javai".

Singer: Lata Mangeshkar
Lyrics: Anand Bakshi
Music: Laxmikant Pyarelal
