We don’t want to do it for just a societal tag: Rocky
Filmmaker Rocky Jaiswal opens up about marriage speculation with long-term girlfriend, actor Hina Khan and their relationship
Actor Hina Khan and filmmaker Rocky Jaiswal have been together for many years now, and marriage is a topic of discussion between them on and off. However, Jaiswal reveals that they don’t want to do it just for the heck of a husband and wife tag.
“We’ve been together for a good number of years, and have been through all ups and downs that a couple can possibly see after marriage. Mentally, we’re there,” he says.
Pointing out how many couples fail to stay close even after getting hitched, Jaiswal continues, “We don’t want to do something for a societal tag and just to be official about it. It doesn’t make sense to us.”
Jaiswal, who met Khan on the sets of her TV show Yeh Rishta Kya Kehlata Hai in 2009, says they’re “absolutely secure” about each other. “We don’t have any inhibitions about each other. That gives us the liberty to expand and move ahead in our careers. Eventually, we’ll get married but not right now,” he adds.
Talking about the key to their stable relationship, he says it’s their likemindedness and understanding for each other that keeps them close. “We believe that rishte upar se ban kar aate hai. I don’t think I’d be close to anyone the way I’m with Hina. We can talk about anything. The openness and transparency we have is amazing,” he gushes.
Besides their personal life, the two are also professional collaborators. They run a production house and have made films, like Lines, which was screened at the Cannes Film Festival in 2019 and recently saw an OTT release.
Jaiswal says they work well together because they’re good at striking a balance between their work and personal life. “Both of us got together because we respect each other a lot. She is very hard-working and an earnest individual. We both know what to expect out of each other and how much to push each other,” he signs off.
