Morover, the groom Dibyajyoti Talukdar said “She messaged me saying that the clothes that we offered are not at all up to date. She also didn’t like the type of jewellery we gifted her. The clothes and other gifts are presents offered to her with due respect and love. My sister even consulted with her while buying the things. Moreover one cannot demand in so far as gifts are concerned. I showed the messages to my parents and they took the ultimate call.”
