“Beta, mithai kab khila rahe ho?”
“I know a relative’s relative in London, he is just perfect for you!”
“Jab main tumhari umar ki thi, mere do bacche the.”
“You should get married now, it’s very difficult to have kids after 30.”
“Office ka kaam toh theek hai, shaadi karni hai toh ghar ka kaam seekho!”
These are some of the things every Indian single girl is sick of hearing. Dear Zindagi reminds us of all those annoying relatives who are obsessed with just one thing, to get you (one distant relative of theirs) married and you’re politely trying to dodge these “shaadi kab karr rahe ho, beta?” type questions.
Here are five dialogues from the film that will remind you of every Pummy aunty ever.
PS: Do us a favour and don’t bring up these awkward shaadi questions again. Give your and our Dear Zindagi a break.
