Manchu Lakshmi speaking to scribes, shared her thoughts on relationships saying , “You do you. Do what gives you happiness. Two people come together in their 20s, hoping they share a similar outlook on life. If either of them slacks on that, takes a marriage for granted, that’s where the downfall happens.”
She continued “Some people say no matter how much I suffer, no matter how much I’m abused, I will stay with my husband. That’s your life. I am the kind who watched Thappad and thought it was amazing. Yes, who gives you the right to hit someone? My parents don’t touch me. Who are you to hit me? I was a big supporter of Thappad; that’s where I stand. You should have self-respect.”
She added “There was a time when our parents would never agree to us having relationships. We’ve grown to saying, have a relationship, but how do you have it? Social media has really corrupted our minds and thoughts,”
She continued “There was a time when, if a man wanted to approach a woman, he would put in some effort. Now, you just send the same cut-copy-paste message to ten women. The world has shifted quite a bit, and it’s up to us girls to figure out if they mean what they say.”
