The Story in Brief
Anurag Kashyap, 53, has revealed he tried to push away girlfriend Shubhra Shetty because he was conscious of their 20-year age gap. The filmmaker told Janice Sequira's YouTube channel that Shubhra "kept looking the same" as he aged, making him self-conscious. The couple, together for 11 years, now lives in Bengaluru after Kashyap left Mumbai.
Shubhra said her mother now calls Kashyap a "henpecked husband", though her parents were initially wary of her dating a twice-divorced man with a child. Kashyap said his alcoholism was driven by seeking others' approval, a pattern he has broken since moving from Mumbai. His latest release is the Bobby Deol-starrer 'Bandar'.
The Indian Opinion
This interview trades on the usual Bollywood formula: a director's private life packaged as brave confession. The real story is not age-shaming but a grown man who drank away years seeking validation from strangers. Kashyap's move to Bengaluru and sobriety matter more than who he dates. Let us see if this 'henpecked husband' narrative lasts longer than his next film's opening weekend.
