Priyanka Chopra in Saat Khoon Maaf says that every married woman at least once in her lifetime does ponder over how to get rid of her husband. Curious, if there is really any weight in that and if women would think of it in an extreme moment- we asked the ladies for confessions and heard some 'killer' opinions! By Clinical Psychologist Prachi S Vaish
"The idea is certainly intriguing"
Monisha, 25, seems titillated by the whole idea. "I think there's no limit to human nature and who knows what I'll do if pushed too far? But I do know that if I'm willing to lay my life down for him, I would definitely be passionate enough to go to that extreme if need arises."
The thought of killing one's partner can only rear its head in dire situations and even then, to go through with it would actually require a huge emotional upheaval as all history of crime reveals that killing a partner has always been a crime of passion like the case of Yvonne Rousseau and Pierre Chevallier where their fiery romance of decades gave way to her jealousy and his murder, and took France by the storm in 1951.
Riya, 27, exclaims, "I'm certainly going to do it one night while he sleeps; every time I hear the drone of his snores I want to smother him with a pillow till he stops breathing!" Now there's sure a 'humour'-killing idea!
"It only looks good in movies"
Divya, 34, takes her time to think about it and opines, "sometimes situations like this should be just humoured...it was easy for Priyanka to kill husbands because she probably knew she would have six more husbands, but in real life however irritating or wretched the husband gets, murder wouldn't be our cup of tea. The best I would do is leave him with his disgust to bear; nothing would be a better revenge that that. Once he loses his woman who stood by him he will realise what he lost. Murder and blood on my hands will look convincing only in movies and for a hottie like Priyanka? She can kill with her looks, I couldn't even kill an ant if I stared at it!"
Shakti, a mother of two and married for almost a decade, says, "the only scenario I can imagine where I would be driven to murder would be if I saw him with another woman. I gave him the best years of my life, two beautiful children and a home, and now when I need him the most, I wouldn't stand for him to run off with a bimbo!"
"Too much of an Indian to do it"
Hansika, 28, admits to having serious trouble in marital paradise but says that, "I guess it must be the intrinsic values I have as an Indian that restrain me from even thinking about causing him physical harm; I could curse and scream, maybe even shake him up once in a while, but murder? I don't think so." Deepika, 29, agrees and adds in the same vein, "There is an urge to call the relationship off but never to the extreme of killing him. There are moments when you want to end it all, either by a divorce or killing one self but the thought of killing him never came; maybe it's how our Indian system is - In-laws and husbands killing their wives is common but hardly heard of the other way around."
Murder or not, we now know for sure that one common denominator of female fury is the 'other woman' and if push comes to shove, the female might just prove to be the deadlier of the species!
