I have watched the movie 'English Vinglish' many times and am in completely love with it. However there is a final speech given by Sashi (Sridevi) in the movie which I love the most. I felt a lump in my throat when I heard it for the first time. She speaks the lines with utmost sincerity and simplicity and that is what touches my heart. Below is the speech:-
This marriage is a beautiful thing.
It is the most special friendship, friendship of two people who are equal.
Life is a long journey.
Meera, sometimes you will feel you are less. Kevin, sometimes you will also feel you are less than Meera. Try to help each other to feel equal. It will be nice.
Sometimes married couples don't even know how the other is feeling. So how they will help each other?
It means marriage is finished?
No.
That is the time you have to help yourself. Nobody can help you better than you.
If you do that...you will return back feeling equal.
Your friendship will return back. Your life will be beautiful.
Meera, Kevin...May be you will be very busy, but have a family. Son, Daughter...In this big world, your small little world. It will make you feel so good.
Family can never be judgemental.
Family will never put you down, will never make you feel small.
Family is the only place where you will always get love and respect.
That's all.
I always feel very good after hearing this speech and now I can read it here too. Hope you feel the same as well. :-)
