Koel Purie answers, My character in Life Mein Kabhi Kabhi is a happily married woman and the secret to her happy relationship is that she doesn't expect too much from her partner and is ready to stand by him through ups and downs. She doesn't bottle her frustrations and has an open communication with her partner Aftab. When you commit, remember you can have bad times and good times but they should not affect the love you both share.
