Bollywood fans were unable to get over the news of Malaika Arora Khan and Arbaaz Khan’s separation, when the rumours of another B-Town marriage being on the rocks started doing the rounds. And this time it was Soha Ali Khan and Kunal Kemmu. Buzz had it that all is not good in their paradise.
But Kunal soon took to Twitter to slam the divorce rumours. The Bhaag Johnny actor wrote on the micro-blogging site, “What!! Why is my marriage in trouble?? Why am I heading for a divorce? Am I in a different reality or the people reporting this nonsense (sic).”
And after her husband rubbished the reports, Soha calls the rumours laughable.
In an interview to DNA, the 37-year-old actor said, “The rift rumours are laughable. It started with a shot in the dark piece and then just took on a life of its own from fighting to filing for divorce. Kunal has been putting off filing his nails for ten days now. Forget filing for a divorce!”
Soha, who got married to Kunal in January 2015, says that she believes in the institution of marriage and her parents have been the biggest source of inspiration.
“I’ve always felt when you are committed in a relationship; you have to work through the difficult times. I’ve seen my parents in a successful solid marriage for 44 years,” she added.
But at the same time, the Rang De Basanti actor doesn’t like looking at marriage through rose-tinted glasses and believes that it is important to make things work in any relationship. “There is no perfect relationship,” she says. “You have to work around the dissatisfaction. I am sure even my parents had their problems. They were completely different personalities, but they must have worked on their marriage and made it work,” said the Ghayal Once Again actor.
She added, “I never felt any insecurity regarding my parents’ marriage. They handled their issues and the public face of their marriage was very dignified. If I am a secure person today, it’s because of the marriage my parents shared. I’d certainly want my child whenever it happens, to feel the same sense of security.”
Soha and Kunal got engaged in July 2014 in Paris and later tied the knot in Mumbai in January 2015. On the work front, the two have worked together in films like 99 and Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge.
