Namaste, this is After the Rishta Aunty Leaves, I am Ananya, and today's guest has said no more times than anyone I have met. Shreya is 33, she is a surgeon at a big hospital in Mumbai, she is the eldest daughter of a Maharashtrian family, and since 2017 she has met and declined 40 prospective matches. Forty. Some were easy. One or two, she says, were very good men, and she still cannot fully explain why she said no. Her younger sister is waiting her turn. Her mother has stopped asking, which Shreya says is worse. We talk about all of it, and at the end her mother, Mrs Kulkarni, joins the call, because I thought you should hear the other side of a daughter who keeps saying no.
