They think that if a man is voluntarily leaving his wife and coming to live with his girlfriend, it means that She is not happy in her marriage. Through the behavior of Vidhi Chitalia’s character throughout the story in the film, I have explored in great detail how a ‘home-breakers’ behaves, and what goes on inside her mind. Used to be.’
