Woman On Top Arpita & Akshay

With Shweta Tiwari and husband Raja Choudhary marital problems making headlines. It occurred to us that it's not the first instance of a husband reacting violently to his spouse's success. Bollywood made many films on the motif, including the block busters Abhimaan, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna and the recent Delhi Heights. The fact is that even today some men get violent and insecure because their wives have gone ahead in the rat race and taken over the bread winners tag. The Shweta-Raja out-burst questions the popular notion that women can have a happy married life and a rocking career without damaging the male ego?

So do professional differences loosen the marital knot and more so in the glamour world, where competition for stardom is fierce? Prashant Golecha roped in a string of actors to comment on this issue.

Aparna Tilak on the other hand states that, "It can happen even between friends, you don't need to be married for that! If you are with someone for the keeps, success and failure are insignificant. Issues and competitions among any two individuals start from kinder garden to death. Its always was there and going to be there -survival of the fittest has been the norm. Competition exists at all levels and everywhere but one has to strike a healthy balance. I would want my spouse to succeed, irrespective of how I am doing in my career. Money is a common home breaker in all relationships. Unless you have a Swiss bank account to hide away the surplus, such things don't will come in the way of a successful relationship." Actor Akshay


Anand claims that it is a problem that arises when the either of the spouse show off their money, "When the wife is more successful professionally, problems often arise and that is the case in all professions. In the TV industry is it is more highlighted as it gets printed. It becomes an issue when basic understanding goes missing in the relationship. The one who makes more money definitely feels that he or she should dictate all the decisions of the house."

Anand puts it well, as money and fame often sink into the head of the more successful spouse leaving the other feeling inadequate and incapable to acquiring the same. It is easier to say that what should be done but often difficult to put into practice.
