Umraao Jaan Ada

Does anyone know how this novel ends?

Yes it was a sad ending. I really liked the ending. It was so touchy as Umrao gives an advice to others. I read this novel in my O Levels.

Isn't that a movie also (Umrao Jaan) with Rekha in it?

So does she die at the end? And what was the advice?

She didn't die, I think she had to go back to the dance place cos her family doesn't accept her back. I think.

Actually I just finished watching the drama and they show that she repents for her past and starts to live a decent life. I was told that in the movies, she poisons herself and dies.

So I was wondering how the novel actually ended.

She doesn't poison herself in the novel. In the end of the novel she talks about the roles of women in society --about the tawaif and the wife's separate roles.

ok the one i watched with rekha in it,she has to go back because her family does not accept her.
