Pudiya – A Wife’s Dilemma No One Expected
Pudiya | Hindi Short Film | Shamita Behl | Ratish Sekhar | The Short Cuts
What should a woman do when her husband cheats?
Most would say—leave him.
But what if there’s a family involved? Small children? And a society watching her every move?
“Pudiya” is a powerful and thought-provoking short film that explores a wife’s deeply personal dilemma as her marriage begins to fall apart. Should she walk away with dignity, or fight to protect her family—even if it means stepping into morally grey territory?
A story of strength, silence, sacrifice, and secrets, Pudiya reveals how far a woman will go to safeguard her children and reclaim her place within a broken relationship.
Because sometimes… everything truly is fair in love and war.
