Mukesh Khanna on love, marriage, and relationships
During a podcast with The Filmy Charcha, Mukesh Khanna spoke about people often discussing him being single. He shared his opinion on love and relationships and said, “If you are married, you are committed. People say a woman should be pativrata. But has anyone said a man should also be pativrata? I say that two souls have met. But people don’t believe this… they say ‘I love my wife’ and still move around. That is cheating.”

Sharing why he hasn’t gotten married yet, Mukesh Khanna shared that taking the plunge is very much on his cards. “I believe in marriage more than most people. People think that if you don’t marry, you don’t believe in marriage. That’s not true. I believe in the institution of marriage more than most people. A wife doesn’t just come randomly. She is written in destiny. If it was meant to happen, it would have happened by now. The woman I am destined to marry already exists somewhere. When destiny brings us together, it will happen,” Mukesh Khanna shared, pointing out that age is just a number.
He also shared his take on love and said, “Love happens only once. The rest is infatuation or desire. If you say ‘I love you’ to one person and then go to another, you are being ungrateful.”
Mukesh Khanna on his stance about women being misunderstood
In the past, Mukesh Khanna has received backlash over his remarks about women. In 2020, in an Instagram video, Mukesh Khanna commented on the Me Too debate, stating that a woman’s job is to take care of the house, but them leaving the home behind and going out to work leads to issues. He had said, “Women and men are made differently. Women’s responsibility is to take care of the house. I am sorry to say this, but the MeToo problem started after women started to work. Today, women aspire to walk shoulder-to-shoulder with men. People talk about women’s liberation, but let me tell you that this is where the problems begin. The first member to suffer is the child because he does not have a mother to take care of him. He watches ‘Saas Bhi Kabi Bahu’ with the caretaker. It all began when women aspired to be equal to men, but a man is a man, and a woman is a woman.”
In 2022, Mukesh Khanna also made some insensitive comments about Ekta Kapoor and the portrayal of women on television. Now, defending his take against women, Mukesh Khanna said in a recent interview that his stance has often been misunderstood. “”I am not against women. In fact, I respect women a lot,” Mukesh Khanna said.
