Excerpts:
Q.
Many
marriages
in
showbiz
are
crumbling.
Does
that
scare
you?
A.
I've
always
felt
when
you
are
committed
in
a
relationship,
you've
to
work
through
the
difficult
times.
I've
seen
my
parents
(Sharmila
Tagore
and
late
Mansoor
Ali
Khan
Pataudi)
in
a
successful
solid
marriage
for
44
years.
I
am
sure
they
had
their
problems.
They
were
completely
different
personalities.
But
they
must
have
worked
on
their
marriage.
And
they
made
it
work.
I
never
felt
any
insecurity
regarding
my
parents'
marriage.
I
think
they
handled
their
issues
and
the
public
face
of
their
marriage
was
so
dignified.
Q.
Then
how
according
to
you,
does
a
modern
marriage
work?
A.
There
is
no
perfect
relationship.
You
have
to
work
around
the
dissatisfaction.
One
reason
why
marriages
break
faster
now
is
because
people
live
longer.
Earlier
people
died
at
60.
Now
they
live
to
be
a
100,
so
all
that
more
time
to
spend
in
a
marriage.
How
many
years
can
you
live
happily
in
one
relationship?
You
need
to
have
a
sense
of
commitment,
maturity
and
infinite
patience
to
make
a
marriage
last.
Q.
Are
you
arguing
against
marrying
Kunal?
A.
To
keep
a
relationship
going
in
today's
day
and
age
is
very
difficult.
I'd
like
to
think
if
my
relationship
has
worked
for
five
years,
it's
permanent.
We
are
all
so
self-centred.
So
am
I.
To
give
that
much
to
a
relationship
is
very
difficult.
Q.
Would
you
be
able
to
do
it?
A.
My
happiness
always
came
first.
But
now
to
make
Kunal
happy
makes
me
happier.
But
ultimately,
I
don't
know
how
much
I
can
sacrifice
for
anyone
else.
I
always
said
we
should
not
take
the
relationship
for
granted.
We
need
to
continue
to
communicate
our
feelings
about
one
another,
no
matter
what
its
repercussions.
Only
an
honest
approach
can
keep
a
relationship
going.
I've
seen
the
dignity
that
my
parents
brought
into
their
marriage.
If
I
am
a
secure
person
today
it's
because
of
the
marriage
that
my
parents
shared.
I'd
certainly
want
my
child
to
feel
the
same
sense
of
security.
