In my entire life, I have taken so many decisions confidently, but here I would like to talk about a difficult decision that I made once. To begin with, it was approximately 3 years ago when I had to marry a man I didn’t know at all. Basically, I am from a Hindu family and I loved a guy that belonged to a Muslim family. So, in our culture, Hindu girls can never marry a Muslim boy. It is completely against our culture. So, when I told about our relationship to my father, he got furious and told me that he had to choose one person, either him or that guy. So, as I loved my father very much and respect as well, so I decided to go with my father and I married a boy that I completely didn’t know. So, there was my rate of reason why it was a toughest decision for me. First and foremost, it was important to control my emotions. It was really challenging for me. At one point, I went through depression and overcoming my depression was also a hardest task for me. Another prominent reason would be maintaining a new relationship was really challenging that time. Last but not the least, I had to deal with several responsibilities. Eventually, I would like to recapitulate that. Thank you.

In my entire life, I have taken many decisions confidently, but here I would like to talk about a difficult decision that I made once. To begin with, it was approximately three years ago when I had to marry a man I didn't know at all. I am from a Hindu family, and I loved a guy who belonged to a Muslim family. In our culture, Hindu girls can never marry Muslim boys. It is completely against our culture. When I told my father about our relationship, he got furious and told me that I had to choose one person: either him or that guy. Since I loved and respected my father very much, I decided to go with my father and married a boy I completely didn't know. That was my reason why it was the toughest decision for me. First and foremost, it was important to control my emotions, which was really challenging. At one point, I went through depression, and overcoming that depression was also a hard task for me. Another prominent reason was that maintaining a new relationship was really challenging at that time. Last but not least, I had to deal with several responsibilities. Eventually, I would like to recapitulate that. Thank you.
