For years, we have been seeing women like Sarita in the form of our mothers, sisters, wives and aunts, who have been prioritizing family’s needs and interests above theirs. Be it their choice or against, they have been forced to choose a life that best fits the societal expectations. This story isn’t the best of its kind but it is a subtle story of the sacrifices women like Sarita make or are forced to embrace.
