In between the arguments, anchor Gobinath injected his thoughts once in a while - when a young woman protested the fact that she'd been forced to hand over her entire salary to her family all these years and that she was only asking for the money back through dowry, Gobinath said that if she'd been a son, she'd have done this without expecting anything in return.
