The idea that Khuswant Singh's grand mother was once young and beautiful and had a young husband seemed absurd to the author Khushwant Singh .

Explanation:

  • In 'The Portrait of a Lady', renowned the Indian English author -Khuswant Singh paints a pen picture of his aged grandmother.
  • According to Khuswant Singh his grandmother was an aged old lady full of wrinkles.
  • Her wrinkled face, her stern but compassionate behaviour, her ethical thoughts and religious beliefs created a universal image of an old lady in the mind of his young grand son.
  • Khushwant Singh has always viewed his grandmother as the old, no-nonsense, typically Punjabi rural lady.
  • So when grand mother described herself young and beautiful in her youth and doted over her handsome young husband-Khuswant Singh's grand father, he found it very difficult to believe.
  • It was beyond his imagination that his grandmother was young and beautiful at some stage of her life.
  • It seemed quite absurd for him to believe.
