Like men, women also need their families’ support: Krystle D’Souza

A woman is usually considered submissive and weak, but Sharda Modi (Poonam Dhillon) of Ekk Nayi Pehchan has proved it wrong.
The otherwise self-doubting homemaker has gone all out to carve an identity of her own. Says Poonam, “An Indian housewife is programmed to give all her time and attention to family. Selfless and giving, her needs become secondary. But when situation demands, she can be strong.All you need is a positive attitude and financial security. When you are dependent on others, they take advantage of it. Never accept mental or physical abuse quietly.”

Adds Krystle D’Souza, who plays Sharda’s daughter-in-law Sakshi, “Like men, women also need their families’ support to progress in life. Not to forget, education is most important. Some people associate women with adjectives like docile and submissive, but they are as emotional or strong as men.”
Padmini Kolhapure, who recently entered the show to play Pallavi Ajmera, says, “I think Indian women are multifaceted. It takes a lot to put your family before yourself. It’s not easy to be a homemaker. Sharda has proven that if you have it in you, you can achieve anything.

Times have changed and you cannot mistake a homemaker for being uneducated anymore. What governs a woman’s strength is her upbringing in her parental home; the values instilled in her during her foundation years. Right upbringing and strong values make a woman strong.”
Ekk Nayi Pehchaan airs Monday to Thursday at 8.30 pm on Sony Entertainment Television.
