Feedback
S. Subramanian: Love is the only word.
Valli Kannu: Mrs Sanjay Banerjee said that for her, her husband is more than God. Her husband gave her everything she wanted even when God sent her here with defects. I also learned that we should not make excuses for our disability – we should take responsibility.
Dr Manjula Arun: A joyful family. I admired seeing the understanding between the family members. Her husband is more than God. Salutations to that dharmapatni.
Dr Dhanya Prasad: They showed that under any circumstances, partners should cooperate with each other and become each others’ strength.
Diljith: A real example of what Gitamritam stands for.
Anila: First, I should bow down to their wonderful hearts. Her statement “God gave me disabilities but my husband gave me everything and he is considered as God,” just resonated with me.
Shyam Kumar: A partner’s physical disability is not a hindrance for having a happy life as husband and wife.
Durgalashmi CV: “Consider your husband as God” This is the beautiful message I got from them.
