Zeenat Aman’s relationship advice: ‘Live together before getting married’
Mumbai– Veteran actress Zeenat Aman on Tuesday shared a relationship advice, saying she strongly recommends live-in together before getting married.
Taking to Instagram, the actress known for her work in movies like ‘Yaadon Ki Baaraat’ and ‘Dostana’ shared a string of pictures with her furry friend Lily.
The snaps show Zeenat wearing a white and green floral shirt, and a white skirt. She is sitting in a garden and playing with her dog.
The post is captioned as: “Two birds, one post! First, by popular demand, here’s my madcap Lily having a caper in the garden this afternoon. Lily is a good ole desi dog rescued from the streets of Bombay. She is my darling shadow, and the reason that I am a firm advocate of pet rescue and adoption.”
“On a different note, one of you asked me about relationship advice in the comments section of my last post. Here’s a personal opinion I haven’t previously shared – if you’re in a relationship, I strongly recommend that you LIVE TOGETHER before getting married,” she said in the post.
Zeenat further revealed that she has given the same advice to her sons– Azaan and Zahaan.
“This is the same advice l’ve always given my sons, both of whom have had, or are in, a live-in relationship. It just seems logical to me that before two people get their families and the government involved in their equation, they first put their relationship to the ultimate test,” the post read.
“It’s easy to be the best version of yourself for a few hours a day. But can you share a bathroom? Weather the storm of a bad mood? Agree on what to eat for dinner every night? Keep the fire alive in the bedroom? Work through the million tiny conflicts that inevitably arise between two people in close proximity? In short – are you actually compatible?” she further said in the post.
“I’m aware that Indian society is a little uptight about “living in sin” but then again, society is uptight about so many things! Log kya kahenge?,” concluded Zeenat.
Anil Kapoor opens up on how his wife Sunita shares the ‘load’ in financial matters
Mumbai– Bollywood superstar Anil Kapoor has opened up on how his ladylove and wife Sunita has shared the ‘load’ in his bad times.
Anil and his elder daughter and actress Sonam Kapoor were present at the seventh edition of Ariel’s iconic movements #sharetheload event.
Speaking about sharing the load in his personal life, Anil said: “For me in my life, it started many many years back when I first met Sunita.”
Sonam interrupted and said: “50 years ago.”
Anil laughed and said: “Yeah 50 years ago… We have been together for 50 years. There were times when I met her, obviously, I was not doing financially very well, and she was really taking care of a lot of things. And that’s the way we share the load, where she steps forward to share the load where money is concerned. So it’s not only in the household jobs.”
The actor, who was recently seen in ‘Fighter’ further said: “Like for example there were times when certain things I could not afford, very small things. But I did not have to tell her, automatically she would share the load. Like travelling sometimes, or a meal, sometimes we went to a normal restaurant, sometimes a slightly better restaurant, we were dating each other. Automatically she knows that I don’t have the money to pay the bill. So, before I knew it, she used to pay the bill.”
Sonam added: “She still pays the bill. My dad has no idea.”
The 67-year-old actor continued saying: “Now she is taking revenge. So, that understanding has to be there between partners, friends, and especially husband and wife that you share the load with.”
“When you share the load without making an effort, and not making it obvious, and not making the other person feel about it, I think that’s the wonderful part of sharing the load,” he added.
Anil married Sunita, a costume designer in 1984. The couple has three children — Sonam, film producer Rhea, and son-actor Harsh Vardhan.
