OK - here is where I put my money: no divorce, husband moves, lives here for about 5 years - they move back before kids get to middle school. She would have milked out whatever money she was worth by then. He will come here only if he is offered a HOD position in some big hospital like Hindujas though.
He is most likely to hate it here and they would probably hoof it back in a few years.
She will never risk her marriage for anything/anybody/ any money. She has two adorable kids and a good looking, successful husband. What to do if her dil maange more?
I think he is ABCD and liberated enough to respect her career and help her get whatever she wants out of it.
But I sort of agree with everybody else's comments about raising kids here vs. the US. Unless you are culturally very tuned in (i.e your idea of Indian culture goes beyond Bollywood/ the Sunday religious classes/ speak your native language at home/ eating ethnic food at home and wearing the Indian outfit on International day at school)...you should not bother returning.
I highly doubt Madhuri, who has spent much of her adult life acting in Bollywood, can do much for her kids beyond the language and food bit. In fact, she is better off there. She can insulate her kids from the public eye.
