Don’t question my marriage: Ranvir
For quite some time e now, there has been a lot of speculation around actors Ranvir Shorey and Konkona Sen Sharma’s marriage being on the rocks. Andd evidently, Ranvir has had enough of it.
“Yes, there have beenn speculations ... My marriage is not up for public scrutiny! And I am not obliged to answer questions on my love life or personal life. I can’t go around answering or clarifying those fictitious stories,” says the actor, who is seen with his wife in the recently-released biopic on freedom fighter Gour Hari Das.
The ‘split rumours’ gathered steam after Konkona was conspicuous by her absence at some promotional events of the film. However, Ranvir clarifies that it was because their four-year-old son was unwell. “Haroon is suffering from viral and that’s why Koko couldn’t come for some of the promotions, because one of us needed to be at home with him,” says the 42-year-old, who plays a cynical journalist in the film, and says that in real life too, he is cynical of yellow journalism.
Recalling one such story that left him feeling violated, he shares, “This was long back, when we were still dating, one of the journalists messaged me saying she was going to run a story on me saying she saw me getting cosy with some woman at a disc. And I replied that it wasn’t true. Yet, the story came out. I felt violated. How could they just go ahead and print a false story, when I was offering them facts! They misreported. But now I don’t get bothered or let these things affect me,” he adds.
