A happy family - Nagma, Mrs. Ravi Kishen and Ravi Kishen
Ravi to Mumbai Mirror's Mr. Subhash Jha -
Ravi is in a confessional mood. He opens up about his relationship with Nagma. "My friends and family are aware of my relationship with Nagma. My wife has accepted Nagma as a beautiful part of my life. I don't lie to my wife about her. She's gracious enough to accept that there can be a special relationship between a man and woman outside marriage. I'm not the first nor the last married man to have an intimate relationship with another woman?," he says.Ravi also confesses that there's no commitment for the future between him and Nagma. "Nagma accepts that I wouldn't leave my wife and children," he says. "We're living in the moment. We don't even talk about the future. In fact Nagma comes home and often cooks along with my wife."
Ravi met Nagma through her father, who's his friend. "I met her the first time fourteen years ago. I'm very proud of my friendship with Nagma and would never demean it by hiding it. We're two crazy sensitive wacko souls. It's a sangam of so many feelings. Our bonding gives us a great comfort level on the sets. We create something beautiful on film," he says.
"I respect Nagma for being a self-made woman," he adds. "Every penny she owns is hard-earned. I'd never do anything to make her feel small."
"I'd never do anything to endanger my career either," he says. "I've slogged for years to get here. Domestic harmony is very important for a man to be successful professionally. My wife has full faith in me. And I'd never let her down. In fact she encourages me to sign films with Nagma. 'Your friendship shows in your work,' she says. My wife doesn't think of Nagma as a home-breaker."
Ravi claims that theirs is not a relationship based on selfish interests. "I'm very happy with her and she's very happy with me. We laugh and joke together. We share everything under the sun and moon. There are no secrets between us," he says.
