I started trading after watching videos about women creating independent income from home. I genuinely liked learning about markets, but I became impatient. Delivery investing felt too slow, so I moved into intraday trades and then options. I lost ₹7 lakh, including money from a joint savings account.
For almost a year, I edited screenshots and gave false explanations whenever my husband asked about the balance. He eventually found out while preparing documents for a home loan. He was more shocked by the fake screenshots than the money. We stayed together, but rebuilding trust took much longer than rebuilding ₹7 lakh.
