Anurag Kashyap tears up discussing girlfriend Shubhra Shetty, says he once ‘pushed her away’

Almost ten years ago, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap shared photos with Shubhra Shetty on Instagram, sparking dating rumors that captured public interest. Recently, the couple sat down with Janice Sequeira for an interview, discussing their relationship, societal scrutiny, and the possibility of marriage. Anurag expressed his happiness with Shubhra, stating he doesn't believe in marriage but wants to stay with her for as long as possible.

He emphasized that he wants to remain healthy enough to outlive the people he loves. Reflecting on their early days together, Shubhra recounted a moment that deeply moved Anurag. She had casually told him, "Being in love is on my bucket list, and I can happily die now." This revelation led to Anurag tearing up, acknowledging that for the first time in his life, he's found something worth living for.

The couple also addressed the age gap between them, with Shubhra in her 30s and Anurag at 53. Kashyap acknowledged facing age shaming, but Shubhra corrected him, noting he was more conscious about it. He admitted to initially trying to push away the relationship, feeling self-conscious due to her youthful appearance. However, Shubhra clarified that Anurag always wanted her to live life on her own terms, emphasizing that his maturity helped him recognize this love.
