MUMBAI : Recently Zeenat Aman shared a post where she advocated about live-in relationships and living in an uptight society. Veteran actress Mumtaz reacted to her advice saying, “Zeenat knew Mazhar Khan for years before marrying him. Her marriage was a living hell. She should be the last person doling out advice on relationships.”
Now, Saira Banu who was asked about her opinion on it said, “I am not reading much and I don’t really follow what they (Mumtaz and Zeenat) are saying, but we are very old-fashioned people. Our trend is 40-50 saal pehle ka (years ago).” she further said, a live-in relationship is ‘unimaginable and unacceptable’ She further said, “Iss baat se main toh sehmat nahi ho sakti hu kabhi bhi. I would never advocate live-in relationships like that. It’s something unimaginable and unacceptable for me.”
Sharing some sun-kissed pictures with her dog, Zeenat wrote on Instagram, “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.”
She further added, “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!
This is the same advice I’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.”
She concluded, “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?
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?”
