But during a conversation with some content creators in Delhi, a woman was reduced to being a “12th pass” by her husband, a moment that left her appearing to hold back tears.The couple was being interviewed by Dastan Studios, an Instagram channel that posts human-interest stories. During the conversation, the husband introduced himself by saying, “Main medical line mein hoon, doctor hoon (I am in the medical field; I am a doctor). His wife chimed in to add, “Yeh homoeopathic doctor hain (He is a homeopathic doctor).”He then put his arm around her and said, “Aur suno, doctor hote hue bhi maine 12vi pass ladki li hai (And listen, despite being a doctor, I married a girl who had passed Class 12).”The woman smiled through the awkward moment and immediately added, “No, no, this is wrong.” The husband went on to explain that he had never wanted an engineer or a doctor as his wife. “Mujhe housewife chaahiye, bas, educated ho (I just wanted a housewife, as long as she was educated).” The woman smiled but appeared embarrassed and seemed to hold back tears as she composed herself.The conversation then shifted to what she had wanted for herself. Asked whether she had dreams of studying further, the woman said she did and wanted to achieve a lot in life. She recalled that she was in Class 12 when the couple got engaged and was studying in the final year at Delhi's Laxmibai College when they got married. She had always wanted to become independent and still hoped to pursue a career.The contrast between her ambitions and her husband’s description of the kind of wife he wanted became a primary part of the conversation.The husband also spoke about the early days of their relationship, saying he first spoke to her after they got married. The woman laughed and corrected him, saying, “Tab bhi baat nahi hui (Even then, we didn’t talk).”When asked what he does to cheer his wife up, the husband joked, “Jhagda hi khatam nahi hota hai (Our fights never seem to end).”Later, the interviewer asked the woman about her husband’s likes and preferences. She said he enjoys non-vegetarian food and other dishes as well, adding that she tries to prepare whatever he likes.“Jo inko pasand hai, main koshish karti hoon ki inko banaake doon (Whatever he likes, I try to make it for him),” she said.Enough to make a grown women cry https://t.co/uJ014brKsj— 100AURAPOINTS (@100AuraPoint) October 3, 2026The video has gone viral as viewers particularly reacted to the husband calling his wife a “12th pass” and saying that he wanted a housewife.Many others focused on the woman’s expression as she spoke about the life and career she had wanted for herself. One user described the way she appeared to hold back her tears as “both incredible and heartbreaking,” arguing that women of an earlier generation often sacrificed their lives for their husbands.Another viewer said it appeared that she was holding back tears after being indirectly humiliated, while another simply wrote, “This is so sad.”A comment also questioned the dynamic between the couple, saying that everything in the conversation appeared to revolve around what the husband wanted, what he liked and the kind of wife he wanted, while asking, “but what did she want?”The user added that the husband's statement about wanting a housewife showed that education could mean little when a woman's life was still expected to revolve around her husband.Several others also criticised the husband over the way he spoke about his wife's education and ambitions.- Ends
