In a recent interview with Dainik Jagran, Mukesh Khanna addressed the idea of live-in relationships. He mentioned that the idea is not standard to the Indian culture and has its roots in the ‘Western civilization’. The actor went on to state that Aman always lived her life in accordance with foreign culture and that she should think before speaking.

The actor continued, "This is not acceptable in Indian culture. Just imagine if a boy and a girl live with each other like husband and wife before marriage, and they do not get along well, then imagine what will happen to both of them. Those who are saying such things should think before speaking.”
Zeenat Aman talks about the importance of live-in relationships
It was on April 9, that Zeenat Aman dropped captivating pictures from her garden with her pet and addressed the younger generation citing the importance of live-in relationships. She had expressed, “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 continued by writing, “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 mentioned.

“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?,” she remarked.
The veteran actor concluded the note by stating, “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?”
