The paradox of her life is that while her beauty is forgotten by everybody including her husband, her intelligence is a source of discomfort to all. In an attempt to curb her intelligence, the family relegates her to the periphery of the household, and denies her identity. That is when Mrinal asserts her individuality and decides to break free.
