Sarada always used to care about scrubbing, cleaning, muggulu designs etc for the first time sat on the sofa which contained so much dust. With enthusiasm, she showed her children an album her paintings that she brought for them.

Sarada recognized that more than scrubbing and cleaning her identity was more important i.e., her name. A woman without identity does not make sense to her living.
