Anurag Kashyap’s girlfriend says mother calls him ‘bakra’, ‘henpecked husband’
Anurag Kashyap’s girlfriend says mother calls him ‘bakra’, ‘henpecked husband’
Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap's girlfriend Shubhra Shetty has revealed that her mother calls the director a 'bakra' and a 'henpecked husband'. In an interview with Janice Sequeira, Shubhra said her parents met Kashyap and formed their own opinions without needing convincing. She added that her mother thinks he is 'stupid enough to be with you'.
The couple, who have been together for about 11 years, have a 20-year age gap. Kashyap, 53, admitted he once tried to distance himself because the age difference bothered him, but Shubhra did not let it define their relationship. Hindustan Times reports that Shubhra's parents are just two or three years younger than Kashyap, while Siasat.com says her mother is around seven or eight years older than him.
Kashyap has been married twice before, to Aarti Bajaj and Kalki Koechlin. He has said the couple has no plans to marry as Shubhra does not believe in the institution.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both sources report the same interview, but Hindustan Times leads with the light-hearted 'bakra' remark, framing the story as a celebrity lifestyle piece. Siasat.com leads with the age gap, emphasizing Kashyap's discomfort and the social scrutiny of age-gap relationships. The discrepancy in Shubhra's mother's age (two-three years younger vs seven-eight years older) is not clarified. The measured takeaway is that while the couple's dynamic is presented as unconventional, neither outlet questions their decade-long commitment or the reasons behind their no-marriage stance.
