Mukesh Khanna: Marriage Is Destiny, Not Just Companionship

Mukesh Khanna, the actor famed for his role as Shaktimaan, has shared his profound views on marriage, even at the age of 67. He believes deeply in the institution of marriage, describing it as more than a personal relationship, but rather a karmic bond written in destiny.

Khanna explained that according to scriptures, a wife is a partner destined from a previous life, coming to help correct one's karma. He contrasted this with the notion of multiple affairs, which he feels are unnecessary for proving masculinity and do not hold the same significance as marriage, which he termed the union of two souls.

Reflecting on his past criticisms, Khanna also recalled his comments against producer Ektaa Kapoor regarding the portrayal of women in her serial 'Kyunki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi.' He questioned the depiction of women as selfish and morally ambiguous in popular television shows, advocating for a more respectful representation.
