Seema Bhargava Pahwa Recalls Wedding Night’s Emotional Weight
Seema Bhargava Pahwa talked about feeling very emotional on her wedding night.
She had just left her parents’ home and felt that her life had changed permanently.
She could not sleep during the night.
A sad song on the radio made her feelings even stronger.
She said many brides may experience something similar.
Psychiatrist Anitha Chandra explained that marriage can bring happiness and sadness at the same time.
Leaving home and entering a new role can feel confusing and difficult.
The story shows that big happy events can also bring complicated emotions.
Seema Bhargava Pahwa said she could not sleep on her wedding night after leaving her parental home.
She described realizing that marriage felt final and that there was no exit afterward.
A Jagjit Singh song, “Ab Ki Baras Bhejo Bhaiyya Ko Babul,” intensified her emotional distress.
Psychiatrist Anitha Chandra said wedding transitions can trigger sadness, anxiety, fear and grief alongside happiness.
Chandra said separation, new responsibilities, unfamiliar roles and emotional music can temporarily overwhelm someone.
