Struggle to adjust to village life

Family sources said Anasuya found it difficult to adjust to village life. She often complained about the lack of city comforts and opportunities.

Her three sisters live in cities, which made her feel emotionally distressed and inferior, relatives said. She repeatedly told her parents that she wanted to return to city life, focus on her career and be financially independent.

However, her parents wanted her to live with her husband in the village.
