  "account": "Singer Shreya Ghoshal shared her perspective on maintaining a marriage despite a busy career. In an interview with the Indian Idol Season 15 reality show, she explained that her relationship with her husband and childhood sweetheart, Shiladitya Mukhopadhyaya, thrives because of their strong friendship. Ghoshal admitted that she isn't always physically present in the relationship due to her demanding schedule, stating, \"I am never there.\" She emphasized that understanding, compatibility, friendship, and mutual respect are the key factors that have led to the arrival of their child, Devyaan, and strengthened their bond. Psychotherapist Delnna Rrajesh explained that strong relationships are not about constant closeness but consistent care, showing up with presence even when life pulls you apart. To build a marriage that endures despite a busy life, Ghoshal and Rrajesh suggest creating a check-in ritual, practicing micro-presence, communicating capacity, respecting each other's roles and rhythms, and keeping the friendship alive through humor, shared memories, and playful affection.",
