SINGHANIA VS SINGHANIA Narrator: We present you the most talked about divorce case of the town between Mrs. Reema Singhania, celebrated socialite and feminist activist and Mr. Aeman Singhania, the multimillionaire business tycoon.The divorce suit was filed by Mrs. Singhania on the context of Mr. Singhania devoting no time for family leading to a bland and loveless marriage for 10 years and unbearable and ceaseless drinking habits of her alcoholic husband. In retaliation Mr. Singhania has also agreed for divorce on the context of the irrational cribbing and nagging attitude of Mrs Singhania and her alleged extra marital affair. It has been cited as one of the most complicated and tough divorce cases which can be inferred from the fact that even after 49 hearings and three futile out of court settlement attempts the veil of uncertainty looms. It is an acid test for Mr Chadda representing Mr. Aeman and who has a record of 100% success rate for divorce cases as well Ms. Anukriti representing Mrs. Reema and popularly known as Jodi breaker.

At best, we can offer the following terms of settlement ( 1.5 lacs per month, Honda City & Esteem gifted at the time of marriage, Farmhouse at Goa). Judge >> Hmmm..Madam, how do you respond to that? L1 (wife)>> Your Honor, my client has supported him in all phases of life. Her social influence has helped him to gain goodwill for his business. We believe that our demands are reasonable. To begin with, at this tender age, the child needs the care & support of its mother. Further his drinking habit & busy lifestyle would have bad influence on the child. The rest of our demands are legitimate considering the existing costs of living. L2 (husband ) >> My client is not a habitual drinker. During the recession, his business took a hit and he indulged in drinking for a brief period, but he now drinks only sparingly and that too at parties. Your client has an affair which will be bad for the child. Besides, when my client was out for business , she did not take proper care of the child who got a head injury because of her irresponsibility. Wife >> I did not know you could go this far. I am not having any affair, you are trying to cook stories. Husband >> I saw you with him several times.

,both of you have an incentive to have a fair share of Rs 5 crores each as per Mr Ashinders will . You always have the option of walking out in case things are not working as desired. Meanwhile both of you will have to jointly report to the marriage council on fortnightly basis. Wife & Husband >> Your Honor we agree to this proposition. Narrators role (Aranab) Weve demonstrated the tools of persuasion like reciprocity, authority, scarcity. Weve used the techniques of integrative bargaining for unbundling the common interests and values for achieving private gains, based on relative valuations, forecasts, risk aversion & capabilities. We have also leveraged the contingency clauses to break the deadlocks and looked at post settlement settlement technique to increase the common gains by looking at aspects which were hitherto ignored by both the parties.
