Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has spoken about marriage and his nearly decade-long relationship with Shubhra Shetty in a conversation with Janice Sequeira. Kashyap said he wants to remain with Shetty, while she does not believe in marriage. He added that he is happy with their relationship and does not want to lose it.
The couple also discussed the scrutiny around their age gap. Kashyap, 53, said he had once become self-conscious and tried to push the relationship away as he grew older. Shetty, who is in her 30s, previously worked as an assistant director at his production company, Phantom Films. Kashyap was earlier married to Aarti Bajaj and later to actor Kalki Koechlin.
Age-gap relationships often attract lazy claims that they must be publicity exercises or that the younger partner lacks agency. The reverse stereotype, that an older man’s relationship is automatically suspect, is just as shallow. What matters here is that both have spoken about the relationship and its pressures. Marriage should not be treated as proof of seriousness. The useful test is whether their choices remain their own when public attention returns.
