Priya agreed to the marriage because she was the sole breadwinner for her family, which faced severe financial crises.

Despite knowing the marriage was temporary and Vijay's dismissive attitude, she accepted to secure financial stability for her family.

His announcement publicly humiliated Priya, though he later realized the mistake of his actions.

Foreshadowing: Throughout the marriage, Vijay maintained emotional distance and treated Priya more as a friend than a romantic partner.
