Not that she doesn't try but when she gather courage to speak up she was ignored by her mother and shushed by her sisters either they'll make fun of her feelings or just never put any attention to it

She remembers one time it was her birthday and everybody forgot to wish her and when she tell her father he bring cake but it was  cut by Gauri and all family eating it watching tv because she was sad that her friends gone to party and her mother refused her to join

That day nandini feels so lonely and nobody was even affected by it
She was always the understanding one who sacrifice and adjust all the time because gauri is younger and stubborn she have to bear her tantrums

Gulping her tears and with meek voice she complained that it's her birthday and she wants to celebrate it

But in return she get the accusing glare from her mother saying she can't cry for such small things and her father said he will bring a new cake for her

It's not about the cake mom dad can I ever become your priority why you never notice me am studying hard but never heard a word of appreciation I do all the things but still get taunts why I should be the only one why can't you tell any of your other daily to sacrifice something or adjust

Why it's so easy to just silence me and pretend that you never did wrong

Gauri: nandini stop creating a drama

Prabhas: beta I'm tired don't be sad I'll bring a new cake tomorrow and your favourite chocolates as well

Her sister gave her disappointed 😞 look and left from there
