When he return Paro looks forward to their childhood love blossoming into their lifelong journey together in marriage. In Indian cultural usually girl’s family have to approach boy’s parents and proposal for marriage. When Paro’s mother asked Devdas’s mother, Devdas’s mother the latter devdas’s mother insults her. Devdas’s mom said this marriage is impossible because Devdas’s family is from higher caste and financial situation. In order to demonstrate them Paro’s mother finds even richer husband for Paro.
