Veteran actress Aruna Irani, who got married to writer-director Kuku Kohli in 1990, has opened up about her relationship, getting married to a married man and her decision to not have children.
In one of her recent interviews, the actress said that she went through a difficult phase when she got married to Kuku.
Aruna Irani: I was married but nobody knew
"I was married, but nobody knew. Now, I think she (Kuku’s first wife) had some problems, she died a year back. So I can speak about it now, otherwise I never used to talk. I used to tell people that please, don’t talk about it… because I didn’t want to hurt anybody. My affair, my relationship with Kuku Kohli was not there to hurt anybody or snatch away somebody," she told ANI.
Aruna Irani: Ghar todne ke liye affair nahi kiya
The Bombay To Goa actress said that the 'other woman' shouldn’t be the only one to be blamed for a relationship. "Ye jo wives hoti hain, voh hamesha dusri aurat ko gaali deti hain. See, I am not responsible to keep you happy, your husband is responsible, hold him first. Tell him ‘why did you do this?’ Maine koi ghar todne ke liye nahi affair kiya. But something happens, I don’t know what, only a man would know or a woman would know as to why a third person enters," she added.
Opening up about her decision to not have children, she said, "I got married to...married man, I'm suffering...let the pain be with me only." "But if my child asks, 'Where's papa?' what do I say? If something happens to...child in...middle of...night, I can't call him...that's why I never wanted...child," Aruna further said.
Meanwhile, on the work front, the 76-year-old actress was last seen in shows like Yeh Un Dinon Ki Baat Hai and Dil Toh Happy Hai Ji.
