- Deol, Kapoor and Kumar in Thank You.
Cheat on Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor and you will be castrated, but do the same to action hero Akshay Kumar and you may be let off the hook. But how do we know such intimate details?
tabloid! indulged in a tricky relationship quiz when the trio starring in Thank You ' a comedy featuring Kumar, Bobby Deol and Kapoor in lead roles ' landed in Dubai to peddle their latest release, out this weekend.
The wrath of a spurned Sonam (a very violent one at that) is just one of the many revelations. During the course of our relationship quiz ranging from infidelity to dream-cheating, the team let us in on their deepest, darkest relationship secrets.
So, as a tribute to Thank You ' a tale about philandering husbands and their hapless wives ' we give your their personal take on relationships.
Have you ever been cheated upon in real life?
Sonam Kapoor: No, nobody has ever cheated on me. Nobody has ever dared to ' because they know I will chop their little, little things off. [laughing to take the bite off her rather graphic threat]. Yes, I will castrate him for sure.
Bobby Deol: Yes, I have been cheated upon and I have gone through many break-ups in my life. Being cheated upon is a part of growing up. It's a part of understanding how life is. Love is never hunky-dory. There are always ups and downs. I am very lucky that I went through all of that before marriage.
Akshay Kumar: Never. Not in my real life, but in reel life I have been cheated upon many times.
SK: Physically and emotionally cheating on someone other than your wife constitutes infidelity. Even if you are flirting with someone or having a good time with them, it amounts to infidelity.
BD: Every human being has an evil side to them and there's a part of our brain which thinks negative and has this urge to enjoy life. The key is to understand that part and get over it. If you can control that instinct, then you can lead a perfect life. It's all about focus.
AK: I am with Sonam on this one.
If your friend was in a toxic relationship, what advice would you give them?
SK: Go to the police in case there's physical abuse. With regard to being in a toxic relationship, I had a friend who was in one and it had reached a point where she didn't know what was going on. We knew she needed an intervention from people who cared about her like her parents or her close friends. Often, they are the only ones who can jerk you out of that toxic space by asking: 'what are you doing with your life?' Sometimes you need a person from outside telling you that you are worth far more than what he or she is giving you.
BD: A guy who hits a woman should definitely be castrated and a guy who doesn't understand the meaning of relationships should be flushed out. Having said that, you need to understand that everybody is not perfect and each one has their own flaws. So if we can look beyond the flaws, then you enjoy a good relationship.
AK: To forgive someone is a divine thing. Sometimes a man can make a mistake and if you are willing to give him another chance, then go for it. There's nothing wrong in forgiving a man. If she feels she can do it ' I would tell her to forgive him and make the whole relationship work. In fact, such an episode may even improve a man from within.
SK: I need to be married to really dream-cheat. But yes, if I were to dream-cheat I will cheat with Bobby and Akshay ' together. [That's cheating within cheating, interjects Kumar, but Kapoor retorts: if you are dreaming, you may as well go the whole length].
BD: I am blessed to have found a wonderful wife in Tanya. So this is a tough one since there are so many beautiful people out there. But without naming names, I would dream-cheat with a lady who has a good personality and an innate simplicity.
AK: Madhubala ' she was one of the most beautiful women out there with that girl-next door appeal.
Which celebrity cheating episode shocked you the most?
SK: Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt. Their split was a shocker because they had this wholesome, all-American golden couple going on between them. And, Pitt going for a younger, hotter Angelina Jolie was reiterating that in life men go for the younger and hotter woman all the time. Also, the news of the Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman break-up shocked me because you just assume that after 15 years of togetherness, they will never break up.
BD: What shocks me is the way the media deals with such news of cheating etc. The way they speculate on other people's personal lives and the way they dig up everything is the shocking bit for me.
AK: The news about Kobe Bryant [American professional basketball player who allegedly sexually assaulted a hotel employee] shook me. In fact, my film Aitraaz was based on that episode. The idea for the film sprang from there.
