My parents had a very troubled marriage: Ranbir - Page 12

So were you ever in awe of him?
No. But I didn't want to make him unhappy. If he was depressed I'd get anxious. I used to observe fasts just to make him feel better. {Abuse,scary,what a young 21 year old bride wen through}Now I've realised and made him realise that to be happy together we both need to be happy in our individual space. Today my world has expanded. Today there're the kids and their happiness matters.


What about the Kapoor tag? Weren't you intimidated by it?
I didn't know what it meant. For me it was Rishi who mattered. I fell in love when I was 16. He showed me the world and moulded me totally. And so there was no one else he could marry because he had shaped me into an ideal partner {Conditioning,controlling}. My world revolved around him. I happily quit films to be his wife. Now I get along wonderfully with every member of his family.



So would his world collapse without you?
Many people want to know why I don't return to films. But he'd be ballistic if I left him to himself for a long time. Every Sunday I go for a movie with my friend. He calls me up a hundred times till I return home! {Control-freek , possessive}

She was way too young at 16. I heard she was desperate to get away from her controlling mother who made her do all sorts of things and hence was desperate to get married and leave the field.

^^^I get what you mean BI. Most of them do talk abt their parents' troubled relationship once they aren't around or are separated. It's surprising to me that the usually media shy & savvy Ranbir chose to speak abt his parents's troubled relationship here. But I wouldn't hold it against him as I suspect his parents are ok with him speaking. Unless Rishi's mercurial relationship with his son & the media at times is a consequence of this interview!

I don't really sympathize with Neetu because she made the choices she did and it sounds like she would make the same choices if she had to again. It's a different matter that I don't agree on the choices she made

Most of these Bollywood wives end up being doormats... Its only rare cases like Reena Khan or a Suzanne... who dare to walk out of an unhappy marriage.

The rest of them carry on.. in some cases, the star husbands improve and they reach some kind of compromise in their marriage.. in some cases. the wives just turn a blind eye and they live in a make believe world thinking that the husband is a pati parmeshwar... in some cases they just give up, lead parallel lives but put up a facade of a happy marriage.

After a point they just reach these arrangements..Like Neetu said in her own interview..a happy marriage is about being happy individually..and just pretending like all is hunky dory

Random-but after Kirron Kher won, Anupam Kher tweeted some encouraging stuff..I went back to an interview posted here where Kirron opened up about Anupam cheating on her

And then I remember Page 3 and tell myself sab chalta hai inki duniya mein

She too cheated... Hisaab baraabar... 😆

Your parents had a troubled marriage and that reflects in their son.
