“You stayed with him till the end. You were a good wife. You must be a good mother now. There is power to that role. My Jagan did everything I asked of him. You have similar power over Akshay. Tell him to do his duty. His life will turn for the better. Please tell your son.” – Jaya in Anupama Chandrasekhar’s When the Crows Visit
