She never forces me to take her suggestions on board, but she will make a few suggestions like, Ila ayithe meeru baguntaru (You would look good this way). She suggests, but doesn't force. During the early stages of our married life Pranathi did struggle to adjust for a few months. But she is a very strong woman mentally, stronger than me."
