What started out as Divya, Roja and Anjali is now going strong as Shakti, Kundavi and Nandini. The reason the audience evidently remembers the names of these women from the film is the uniqueness they carry with their characters and the utmost sensitivity with which they’re treated, but mostly, they are relatable to women from every generation.
