She said: “I used to feel a little sad when I read rumors about affairs, but then I laughed at them. I didn’t care what he was doing outside, but when he was in the house he was a wonderful father and husband. That’s all that matters to me. If he brought an affair home, I would feel terrible.” If I take all these things too seriously and fight, I will suffer. I don’t want to suffer, I love myself. “She also addressed the widespread belief that she was unhappy in her marriage. Zarina said many people believed she was living under stress due to Aditya’s affair, but she disagreed. She added that public opinion often places all the blame on the man, ignoring the role of others involved.In a separate interview, the My Name Is Khan actress revealed that she never confronted Aditya about the alleged relationships, despite knowing about them.

I only cared about how he treated me at home. I neglected to ask him questions because it would make him fearless. I was already prepared for him to have an affair.”For those who are not familiar with their journey, Zarina and Aditya first met while working together in the film Kalank Ka Tika. Despite a six-year age difference – Zarina was older – and opposition to their inter-religious relationship, the pair chose to marry in 1986 and have been together ever since.
