Mindset of people for

future careers

By- Harsh Pathak

BA JMC/Sem-2nd

A journalist’s peculiar function is to reach the

mind of the country and to give defi- nite and

fearless expression to the mind. Mahatma Gandhi

Journalism is what keeps check-and-balance

on the dzemocratic practices of a government.

It maintains the democracy in a country and

roots for progressive social changes. Journalism

is the wall that prevents totalitarian rule. In an

ideal world, journalism should do all of these,

but we do not live in an ideal world neither do

our journalists. In recent times, we are witnessing

the downfall of our journalistic practices. It

pains me to see the deteriorating condition of our

mainstream media. To counter this, we need another

form of journalistic practice that can keep

check-and-balance on our mainstream journalism.

Some people say that citizen journalism is

an option. But, cannot trust citizen journalism as

much as we used to trust mainstream journalism.

As there is no in my opinion, we of tion that can

lead to chaos in society. Citizen journalism is

like citizen doctor, we will never trust a doctor

who is practicing without training and degrce,

then how can we trust a journalist who docs not

have any idea of what are the responsibilities

journalist has to fulfill and what are the ethical

procedures he /she has to follow before writing

any article or breaking a story. But, we cannot

discard the idea of citizen journalism completely.

The need for citizen journalism came into existence

because of the mainstream media’s lack

of accountability. If you want mouthpiece of the

government and forgotten its roles and responsibilitics.

We are in dire need of an option that can

give voice to the voiceless and practice healthy

journalism. I know, I am hoping for something

that isn’t going to happen soon, but what can I

say, I am an optimist who wants to live in an ideal

world where every member of society practices

their duty with utmost honcsty. I wish the

students of MERI (Managemcnt Education and

Rescarch Institute) the best of luck for their future

endeavors and wish to see them contributing

to the betterment of socicty.

I

am feeling very enthusiastic in putting my

views on,”the mindset of people for future

career”.

For me,the mindset is bifurcated into two different

zones;the first clicking into my mind is

people who thinks making a career tends to earn

money only.People of this mindset inherites either

from business background,self owners,

shopkeepers or people who can’t afford pursuing

education,but their is a contradiction too in

the society that we can see people from poor

family are posted on the leading posts.The mass

ratio of people in India lies below poverty line

precisely 68.8% that is ⅔ of the Indian population

(as per the 2021 stats), following the hand

to mouth routine on the daily basis.The second

one is,people who thinks that career is being

well educated (academic/professional) or pursuing

higher studies,beating competitive exams

and get recruited.The priority of people having

such mindset is being well educated first ,thenafter

earning acheiveing their desired designation.

Usually people of this mindset do believe having

more than one source of income at a time.These

people do set their ambitions,plan according and

execute them to polish and brighten thier livelihood

and enjoy a lavish life.

Sometimes people takes a wrong step being dishonered,discouraged

by several failures and lack

of success such as committing suicide and push

themselves and their family into a deeper pit of

grief and disbelief and ‘this instance can occur

in both the category of mindset’.

Problems faced in the

Indian Society

By- Priyanka Arora

BA JMC/Sem-2nd

MERI MIRROR

Women’s Hardest

battle of life

By- Ansh Nagpal

BA JMC/Sem-2nd

India is a developing country where economy

can be seen growing at a fast rate. But

Many scientists believe that there are fundamental

differences in the social issues of different

sectors, i.e., rural and urban. If we talk about rural

areas, mostly issues influence the health and

wellness of the people. Some of the issues are

lack of health care services where people have to

go to the town to get a proper treatment especially

for a chronic disease. Illiteracy is also one of

the major problems. It increases poverty which

limits many opportunities and therefore creates

unemployment.

If we talk about urban areas, the problems seem

to be endless. For example- pollution, corruption,

over population, sanitation, drug addiction

etc. One of the major problems is housing. Industrialists

and contractors have used most of the

land leaving very little space for others and since

demand will increase, there will be a gradual increase

in cost too, therefore leading to the poor

in formation of slums which is again another

problem faced. Overpopulation is another cause

for the problem of housing. Since many problems

are interlinked with each other, problem of

overpopulation also becomes a cause to different

problems. For example- shortage of water supply

and drainage system, problems in transportation

system because nowadays people are preferring

private vehicles more than that of public which

also leads to the problem of pollution. Though

many laws are made to overcome these problems

but it is our duty too to help resolve.

When a girl is born into a family, she is

considered a blessing of god and good

luck for the family. But it also brings

so many responsibilities to the family, protecting

that gift to the fullest, having a girl in the family

symbolises that we have one of the biggest powers

which need to be accepted and treated well,

we all know the outside world, how scary can the

situation be for girls listening everyday news on

the abuses done on girls, ask that “father” of that

family who gets so tensed for her daughter when

she asks to go out in the evening, the father just

wants to protect her lovely daughter from the

evil forces out there, now comes a saddest and

heartbreaking stage for girls - “MARRIAGE”

deep down any father will not accept her daughter

whose had been raised and loved the whole

life should be gone in others house, it’s the society

and people who made a sick mentality who

had been a burden for both girls and boys since

childhood we trying to shape according to the

society and within the society. And if we go off

track from the norms of the society the people

gave the tag that “their parents didn’t teach them

the values” which makes parents embrace even

though they didn’t do anything wrong that’s the

point where we kill our desires and wishes because

of the society. Because of the patriarchal

thinking and pressure of the society to make well

know status among the people who are not important

to us, these are the type of people who

are never happy or satisfied with themselves and

others as well, so to succeed in life and to make

our family proud or just live a simple life we

should always go with social norms.

Mindset for labour

Judgments passed by the

Indian Society

By- Ankita Kumari

BA JMC/Sem-2nd

It is an ancestral saying that humanity is one

of the most beautiful things in the world,

humans were created to help, they have the

power of voice by which they can help each and

every one not just people but also the voiceless.

It is said that kindness is the purest act but the tables

have turned upside down and humans, who

were created by God so that they could be the

voice of others are not even letting others speak

for their rights.

Domestic workers are such people in the society

who are least respected and helped, on the contrary,

they are the ones who make life easier and

nobody can think of a life without them yet their

existence is meaningless. In today’s world, people

have developed a Garage mind-like attitude

and they have been indifferent and cold toward

domestic help in our country. The workers put

their mind, body, and soul into work to earn their

basic livelihood with utmost honesty yet are mistreated

by several people, and they’re deprived

of basic respect which is a human right despite

working full of integrity in our society. Domestic

help is considered to be shabby, illiterate, Low

cost and maintenance machine who works 24

hours, and bad blood however everyone’s blood

is red. The minimum wages act, of 1948 has decided

on a certain minimum wage for unskilled

and skilled labor which is rarely followed due

to the middlemen and upper-class people who

do not let the domestic help get their respective

full salaries. Our education system was supposed

to help us grow, and make us know so that we

could have a better tomorrow and our parents on

the contrary are setting a very wrong example by

mistreating the domestic workers.

This is a fact that happens in our society parents

should ask their children to respect domestic

workers as they are the ones who make life work

for Millions of Families.

It is human nature to care about those around

us and seek approval. After all, whatever we

have with us in this world is each other, but

there is a difference between admiring public

opinion and obsessing over it.

But we forget that there is a difference between

limits and restrictions. These restrictions are set

by Society on how much of something one can

do or feel. If we cross that line, we are dubbed

outcasts. They will always have either advice or

judgment or even a problem with how we are doing

things. Society will frown at one thing or another,

but in the end, we are just mindless gossip

to them. What we have to do is to have our loved

ones around us. Before questioning ourselves,

suppose we ever feel like we are doing something

wrong or something that is not exactly the

conventional way of the world. In that case, we

should seek their refuge and keep their advice in

mind because, in the end, we are only left with

ourselves and the ones we love. It is not wise to

decide based on what others will think of us.

The world changes every day, history is constantly

being made, and time is continuously being

lost. We are all living, breathing souls who

have individual desires, passions, preferences,

and voices that need to be heard. We are not the

sum of what people think of us, we are the sum

of our thoughts, actions, and words, and those

are the only things we need to mind as opposed

to treating life as a game of cards by calculating

and overthinking every move.

Society’s opinion on

women’s marriage

By- Shivangi Tiwari

BA JMC/Sem-2nd

love and arrange and also there is a myth that

arrange is much better than love.

However reports also says the same but economists

believes that this is just a pattern. Society

has come a long way in judging any relationship

happiness on the external basis however

there is no proper calculation for the same vut

we all know how tremendously our mother

and father have managed their responsibilities.

Moreover as per society believes a women has

to be always supportive with man on his every

step of life which has described more in verses

of our religional books. Women’s marriage has

been classified as such thing where we believe

that women’s are not our children they made for

someone’s other house. Women has to be supportive

for man but the vice versa of this is also

be true that a true man always supports a women

in his life long pathways.

Whenever we think about marriage a picture has

been appear in our minds of several gatherings,

rituals, and many such things. Marriage is one of

the most rational and pilgrim activity which has

been stated in not only hindus but also in other

regional books. We have also listened that marriage

is not about just a bride or groom but also a

knot between two families.

Moreover it is process by which the population

of human civilization has been productive on

earth from times. If we talk about its history we

get to know that a culture of arrange marriage

has been rise in 500BCE in patriotic Hindu families

in its prominent time. However other type

of marriages which are either from affection,

love, lust and etc. has also been seen in India in

early periods. We also have listened the patriotic

stories of Vrindavan and Mathura of lord shri

Krishna where it has been belief that he marry

Rukmani, love Radha. Moreover there is also a

story of lord shiva who marry sati and both of

them affectionally love each other.

From the sources of these stories we get to know

that both love as well as arrange marriage are

equally acceptable in early Hindu societies.

Societies, one of the most prominent factor of

marriage. Our societies has made a marriage a

destiny for a common adult. But the culture has

more prominently reduce where we have seen in

nowadays where partners prefer their own life

goals as primary and marriage secondary life

goal. Our society has alao separated marriage on

Mindset towards LGBTQ

Layers always hide

the reality

By- Ansh Nagpal

BA JMC/Sem-2nd

No matter what your social status is, or

how POWERFUL your fee, you, we all

are EQUAL. We came here by birth and

will leave by death which is a fact. However,

the brains of people are opposite, they believe

in discrimination, an orthodox mindset due to

which one community was known as LGBTQ

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender have become

major victims and the mankind of society

is dying... LGBT, also termed as “Bad Blood” by

them completely ignoring the fact that we share

the same color of blood that is red. Our Society

outlook them with an unpleasant point of view,

as per them if two people of the same gender fall

in love, they could be mentally unstable and are

advised to seek a therapist and are also criticized

by their own family. One Alphabet of LGBTQ

stands for Transgenders who are abandoned at

the time of birth itself, not only this they lack opportunities

to grow and learn. In India, transgenders

are called on every major occasion to seek

their blessings as it is a good omen, and on other

occasions, these people behave terribly with

them and are disrespected. Transgenders face

Maj They also face problems accepting themselves

and identity crises due to societal pressure.

Before 2014, there was no recognition for

transgenders, most of them didn’t even have their

Aadhar Cards. In 2018 we got some relief when

same-sex marriages were legal and allowed in

India but still there remains a significant amount

of homophobia present among the Indian population,

with around one in four Indians objecting

to same-sex relationships according to an

opinion poll. There is only 30% acceptance by

the society for LGBTQ that too who had faced

such things or the broad-minded people who are

accepting the change. These days Bollywood is

making a great contribution to making people

comfortable with the LGBTQ community like

Badaai do, Chandigarh kare Aashiqui, Laxmi,

Shub Mangal Zyada Savdhaan, and many more.

We in a society are very protective to

our women’s, cause why not – there

are evils out there who always has

been disruptive, calling themselves men, proving

there masculinity from which they feel muscular,

it’s all about mentality or mentality illness

where they are often guided to be men and

prove their ego where there is no need, and due

to this all mens are judged on same scale and

same goes with women, there always been a protective

shield for women, because we all know

how women had struggled for everything but it

doesn’t mean men in a society is being preferred

the most, in some cases Men do faces challenges

which they don’t discuss, they have being adopted

with mindset TO MAKE A FAMILY, 1ST

OF THERE OWN AND FOR THERE NEXT

GENERATION, women have the choice, to

choose there love of there life and being happily

settled with rest of there life, or they can be a

women achieving there goals wishing what they

do, and creating a dynamic impression in society,

but this situation didn’t settle with the men, men

are also being judged badly, these days everyone

says “Men should let there feelings out, “its

ok to cry” but in some cases men are not given

chances to cry, cry Infront of whom? In front of

parents who see the only hope in their son, Infront

of friends? There is never been a case to cry

in front of a friend, people around you just listen

to you, and behind your back, they slowly cut off

because your problem seems negative to them,

so women and men of a good kind shouldn’t be

judged or discouraged in the name of society,

there shouldn’t be MEN VS, WOMEN, because

it’s always about the quality of a person, so with

this hope and encouragement, we should create

a society of MEN WITH THE WOMEN, or

WOMEN WITH MEN.

Generation Gap – Impact

on Relations

By-Ishita Tyagi

BA JMC/Sem-4th

Saying “no” does not

mean to consent

By- Devangshi Bhattacharjee

BA JMC/Sem-2nd

Having new thoughts and perspectives is

consistently great. It is an obvious sign

of how we are progressing and creating

at an incredible level. In any case, when this conflict

of thoughts and perspectives becomes gets

excessive, it turns into a question of stress. The

most well-known aftereffect of this conflict is removed

relations. By and large, an age hole is for

the most part seen among parents and children.

It shows that parents neglect to comprehend

their children as well as the other way around.

The guardians generally follow the customs and

standards. Similarly, they anticipate that their

youngsters should adjust to the cultural standards

they have. However, the children are of the

cutting-edge age with an expansive standpoint.

They will not acknowledge these conventional

ways.

This is one of the primary justifications for why

the contention starts. They don’t arrive at an

answer and in this manner distance themselves

due to false impressions. This is an error at the

two closures. The guardians should do whatever

it takes not to force similar assumptions that

their folks had on them. Essentially, the children

should not through and through off-base their

folks but rather attempt to comprehend where

this is coming from. At the end of the day, since

there is a distinction of assessment doesn’t imply

that individuals abandon connections. It is about

time the two players comprehend that nobody is

correct or wrong. The two of them can arrive at

a center ground and figure it out. Acknowledgment

and understanding are the keys here.

In addition, there should be a friendly connection

between guardians and children. The children

should be given the space to articulate their

thoughts uninhibitedly without apprehension

about conventional reasoning. Similarly, the kids

should trust their folks enough to humor them in

their lives. In particular, there is a need to define

limits between the two gatherings. Rather than

discussing, understanding the perspective is better.

We all know the word NO, and sure, NO

means NO, right? And it’s that simple

when it comes to consent. we have

been saying the words “yes” and “no” for as long

as we can remember; from the moment we could

speak and understand. Saying yes means agreeing.

Saying no is not agreeing. And all the little

phrases we use in between, like “I don’t want

to,” “Not now,” “Of course,” or “It’s okay,” all

mean the same thing. So why is it so difficult to

understand the

meaning of yes and no when it comes to consent?

Consent always meant and always will

mean the same thing: permission, consent, approval.

Quite simply right. So why do men still

not understand that other persons’ approval is

important too? Why do they have this confidence

that if she is my wife or my girlfriend or

any type of relationship Men have every right to

do whatever they want to and do not value your

approval. Very clearly being drunk doesn’t give

you consent, passing out doesn’t mean consent,

reluctance doesn’t justify consent, wearing a

short or revealing dress, coming home late, or

being with men gives consent at all. We’ve even

heard people say, “Look, she’s asking for it,” seriously,

she’s asking for it. If a girl wants it, she

could just ask instead of waiting for people to

assume “SHE IS ASKING FOR IT” or “SHE

WANTS HE GIVE US A SIGN”. This is one of

the worst and ugliest mentalities. of

people to change as soon as possible, people

are already losing faith, and this kind of narrow-mindedness

already portends the end of

mankind. The meaning of NO will remain the

same as it has always been

Expectations from Indian

mother

Mental Health Matters

By- Ayushi Gera

BA JMC/Sem-4th

India is a country that is known for its culture,

diversity, food, history, etc. Whenever ask

about India first thing that came into mind is

the food. But what we are lacking is not talking

about Indian mothers. Indian mothers are the

epitome of love and sacrifice. In India, motherhood

is held in great esteem. But society has a

different perspective.

According to our society, all sacrifices should be

done by mothers for the growth of their children,

and because of this, they are giving up opportunities.

There are well-qualified mothers either

quitting their jobs for their children or doing underpaid

jobs. They sacrifice their aspirations to

enable their kids to achieve their dreams. They

pick and drop kids at bus stops, coaching classes,

hobby classes, etc plus they have to look at

whether their child is studying or not. If her child

doesn’t score well in exams, she got scolded that

she is not giving attention to studies of her child,

if the child has bad habits, it’s her faulty upbringing,

Yet when she tries to make the discipline, by

being tough, she is criticized. But no one sees

how much she is going through after becoming

a mother. She isn’t getting time for herself. And

then after so much sacrifice, they are not getting

the proper respect that they deserve. The newage

Indian mothers are lacking so much self-esteem

because of society. Everyone thinks that an

Indian mother just does household work, takes

care of children, and else does nothing. In addition

to this, the women who are giving birth to

the male child get more respect compared to the

one who is giving birth to female children.

Indian mothers are the real fighters who sacrifice

their wishes, their needs, and everything that

they want to achieve in life for the bright future

of their children.

What Is the Importance of Mental

Health Awareness?

Depression is a brain condition that

causes issues with thinking, behavior, energy,

and emotions, making it difficult to carry out daily

tasks. Mental health is a huge concern around

the world, and India is not far behind. Mental

health awareness programs have yielded significant

effects. Some of the strategies used to

improve awareness and lessen the stigma around

mental illness include family and friend participation,

openness to therapy, and community engagement.

NAMI will join a national movement

to raise mental health awareness in May. During

Mental Health Awareness Month in 2022, NAMI

will emphasize the notion of “Together for Mental

Health.” Mental illness is getting more prevalent.

With the number of people experiencing mental

health issues continually increasing, it’s becoming

more difficult to ignore the impact that mental

illness may have on our daily lives, communities,

and industries. One of the main reasons

why persons with mental diseases do not seek

medical care is that the symptoms may not be

recognized as mental illness symptoms.

There are ways to contribute and raise awareness

for mental health concerns even if you are distant.

-Exchange information with others.

-Send encouraging messages to those in need.

-Pay attention to your emotional health.

-It gives us the power to influence results. It allows

us to make more informed decisions. It improves

our self-esteem and allows us to communicate

more clearly and effectively.

It allows us to observe things from many perspectives.

It frees us from our preconceived

ideas.

It is vital to raise public awareness of depression

and other mental diseases to eliminate stigma.

Recognizing depression also helps people understand

that they are not alone and that there are

many services available to help them overcome

New generation creating differences

in the minds of Indians

Hopes from Astrayed youth

A

generation gap is a normal thing which is

obvious but it is not compulsory to take

forward the concept that was idealized

30 years back. As time is changing the concept

of thinking is also changing and this should be

understood by our elders only our new generation

can bring this change into the Indian society.

Many problems in the Indian society still need to

be getting

worked on like homosexuality, we all say that

everyone has the right to love but unless and until

the “Love” is between two different genders,

why? Why do Indians take it as a disease, their

reaction is always like ‘let’s go to the doctor then

you will be fine’, it’s not like earlier there was no

one who loved someone from the same gender,

it’s just at that time society was the main problem

people used to think that this won’t be accepted

by the society so let’s just stay quiet. But now

is a different case the new generation is coming

up more confidently about their sexuality which

still gets criticized by many but still takes some

parents are changing their thinking.

If in a house both males and females are working

then why only it is expected for women to do

all the house chores. We have seen this in village

areas or heard that house chores are done

by women only, why? And this happens in cities

also in some hoses that if both are working still

women will do all the chores. But what if both

help each other in the chores like in the morning

while going to the office one makes the breakfast

and other does the dishes then it will be so easy,

and the new generation is doing that which is a

great change. And this won’t only bring change

in the mindsets of old people but will also make

a great difference for the future generation.

Youth in the society is full of energy,

having young capabilities and adaptive

nature yet depressive somewhere. The

destruction of the masses mainly occurs through

social media also known as a weapon of mass

distraction. We as a children from a very young

age see ourselves sprinting in our life, we have

been guided and brought up in our childhood

in such a way, where we just keep on thinking

about success, and we portray ourselves creating

such hopes that we won’t see the Way behind it,

which creates an unhealthy competition with others,

although we have been given the freedom to

express in our family but do we express ourself?

The youth of today mainly lack behind their own

decisions and guidance given by an experienced

man, we are so vulnerable that our dependency

depends only upon one click, we always feel

anxious and insecure at the same time because

we are somewhere jealous always whenever we

open our social media, we are so irritated and

angry because such people had a thing and you

don’t ,that feeling kept eating you from inside

and force you to live always in an imaginary

world and the thing which is most acceptable in

the society we try to formulate us only in that

way, we demand such things to our brain that we

only see and create an environment of comfort

that takes us away from hard work and fairness.

So, like you and me the youth of today is confused

yet wanted to listen to all the sides of an

argument. In which such forces take the advantage

to manipulate and kept the truth undercover.

They force us to forget our roots and the magnificent

history that made us great human beings,

we don’t know the truth but still give the wrong

guidance to everyone that leads to a disastrous

situation to survive.

“Laxmi”

By- Mohit Kumar

BA JMC/Sem-2nd

Critic’s Rating: 4.0/5

STORY: Based on S. Hussain Zaidi and Jane

Borges’ hard-hitting book ‘Mafia Queens of

Mumbai,’ ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi narratives

Ganga’s ascent to power and notoriety from a

shy modest community young lady in Gujarat,

to the undisputed sovereign of kamathipura in

Mumbai.

Review: Women enticingly remaining at the

doorstep of a kotha (house of ill-repute) in the

clamouring by lanes of south Mumbai’s notorious

red-light region Kamathipura, is a scene that

is genuine, sad, and sensational. Chief Sanjay

Leela Bhansali’s film ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’,

set completely against this coarse background

of Mumbai recounts the narrative of numerous

young ladies, who were auctioned off to houses

of ill-repute for a couple of hundreds, exclusively

through the eyes of its hero Gangubai (Alia

Bhatt).

It’s at some point in the mid-1950s or 1960s

when an idealistic and gullible Ganga is conned

by her sweetheart Ramnik (Varun Kapoor) to run

off with a guarantee that he will clear the way

for her to make it like a champion in Bollywood.

What ends up and reality as we as a whole know

is that Ganga (who rechristens herself as Gangu,

and ultimately Gangubai), turns out to be the

champion of Kamathipura all things considered.

Throughout the long term, Kamathipura turns

into her home, the whorehouse young ladies her

family, and all of Kamathipura her area. Yet, her

process is full of difficulties, rivals, and a social

shame that draws out the contender inside her.

Like each other Bhansali films, this one, as well,

is a visual enjoyment. While the camera catches

the dim rear entryways of Mumbai’s red-light

region, it does as such with lavishness and more

than adequate gleam. Indeed, the story brings to

the front a few piercing bits of insight about our

general public, and the existence of sex laborers

and raises a few hard-hitting and relevant inquiries,

however, there is a lot about her life that

stays untold. The plot clutches a few massively

sensational scenes and applauds commendable

discoursed, which keep you connected with, in

a film that feels excessively lengthy for its runtime.

IMDB Rating – 2.6/10

Laxmi is a 2020s Indian Hindi-language horror

comedy film that is written and directed by Raghava

Lawrence, marking his directorial debut

in the Hindi film industry. Laxmi is a remake of

his own Tamil film Kanchana (2011).

Story - Aasif visits his wife’s parent’s house

where his father-in-law is supposed to be angry

with them because of their inter-caste marriage,

Random day Aasif goes to the supposedly haunted

ground, and Aasif is soon possessed by the

spirit of a transgender name Laxmi, who is now

out for revenge and start killing its enemies.

Review: Akshay Kumar is known for his outstanding

acting and his creative movie choices

where he brings something new for the audience

to inspire and get knowledge. The movie’s main

story begins when Aasif takes children along

with him to the haunted ground to get their fear

out then as shown in the trailer so those stumps

come into their house and then how things change

and Laxmi took his revenge possessing Aasif’s

body is the movie’s theme, if you guys have seen

2011 Kanchana so this movie got nothing to differ

movie same copy of Kanchana, talking about

the other cast so movie contains great cast along

with it still it feels like overacting, talking about

Akshay’s acting so he has done great acting in

Laxmi’s role rather than Aasif, the way he plays

the role of transgender is brilliant and you’re going

to love that, but the turning point of the movie

is when you see the original laxmi and the guy

played the role is perfectly acted it cause it was

already disclosed who played that role so you

can find it on internet, he did a fantastic job playing

Laxmi character, who is she, her background

everything, then how she took the revenge you’ll
