She said, \u201cMy family told me that they would fight till the end. Annu bhai said he\u2019d take him to the Supreme Court. My bhabhi said that she would sell her jewellery; my other brother was willing to sell off our property. These things aren\u2019t easy; they last 25 years sometimes. But after he made his accusations, I told my mother that I don\u2019t want to fight. All I\u2019ll get if I win is property, I wouldn\u2019t get him back. My family wasn\u2019t in favour of this decision; one lawyer promised me that he\u2019d have Om sahab jailed, all I had to do was accuse him of hitting me. But that man never raised a hand on me.\u201d<\/p>\n

She admitted that she accepted an alimony of Rs 6 lakh, and explained why. \u201cMy parents had taken out a lot of loans for our wedding. Puri sahab had bought some land, which hadn\u2019t been paid off entirely. I wasn\u2019t going to accept any alimony, but bhai reminded me that mom owed a lot of money. Secondly, I remember very well that Annu bhaiya had borrowed Rs 5,000 from Yash Chopra to pay my lawyer. He was broke. He returned that money, of course. But to put them in further debt at this time didn\u2019t sound right to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Seema said that she put her self-respect aside and accepted the alimony. But she turned down a house that she could\u2019ve taken as well. She also refused to accept the Rs 25,000 that he sent her via his secretary when she lost their child.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
