2 States released this week and there are some understated gems that we would like to share with you!

Alia Bhatt and Arjun Kapoor-starrer ‘2 States’ released this week and there are some understated gems that we would like to share with you!

* That an IIM graduate would be extremely proud of the fact that she earns a princely salary of Rs. 50000 per month

* That there are families up North who actually keep Jewelry as mortgage when the bride’s family fails to produce a high-end car model as dowry

* That a girl would actually come close to threatening this marriage from being called off by embarrassing the hell out of a groom, who by the way is an absolute stranger to her

* That one must carry engagement rings for an entire family if they are opposed to your marriage with their daughter/sister

* That a non-vegetarian son in a predominantly vegetarian society is a big deal enough for his mother to have that as a sole topic of conversation in every call/meeting

* That there are loud mouthed Punjabi women out there who actually reek of racism, have money on their minds all the time and do not hesitate demanding for gifts from prospective in-laws

* That a reasonably educated woman would seriously exclaim something on the lines of – ‘Yahan logon ko faansi lagai jaati hai’ – when told about ‘Hanging Garden’ in Mumbai (or was she just kidding too?!)

* That on the day they have a prospective groom and his parents at home, a conservative South Indian family would let their daughter’s boyfriend to hang around and even enter her bedroom for a casual chat

* That Punjabis would agree to anything and everything during celebrations as long as there is free flow of liquor

* That ‘Yes Bank’ is the best in the business, ‘Sunsilk’ is a brand that IIM graduates die to step in, ‘Samsung’ is the chosen laptop for all, ‘Nathus’ is Delhi’s favorite sweet shop and ‘Mazaa’ is the preferred drink for Punjabi ladies
