Parisa however, marries a middle class man, Armaan, and finds her sanity in him. The kick is that this really confuses him that why would a girl who’s as rich as her would opt Armaan has her life partner. The two tie the knot, but the twist comes in when Parisa confesses to Armaan that the cause of her marriage with him was a man who raped her when she was young.[3]
