He added, “It doesn’t matter what you do for a living when you find your soulmate. At the end of day, what matters is your relationship and the fun that you have together.”

Revealing the kind of challenges the couple face in their marriage, Nene said, “Our main challenge is anonymity. We just wanted to put our pants in one leg at a time and behave like normal people. The luckiest thing is we both enjoy that. We are very grateful for everything.”

Praising his wife, the doctor said, “She is so down to earth and the way she treats everyone including her fans, same with me, we are both very respectful. We try to be good people. And I think, that should be the mantra for all of us. That will lead us to a better society. My kids have adopted it which I am charmed by to death.”

In the same conversation, Dr Nene stated the importance of a good marriage and how it impacts one’s physical health. Nene said, “A good marriage adds to physical health, 100%. Stress is one thing, but having not just a marriage but a family, there is really good evidence that loneliness has higher risk of death. In fact, they have amounted loneliness to smoking 15 cigarettes a day in terms of life span. The interesting fact is loneliness does have detrimental effects on your life. So if we broaden the sense whether it is a good marriage, or a good relationship or a good family, that saves you.”

Madhuri had also spoken about her marriage in a video shared on Dr Nene’s YouTube channel. She said, “We always had that partnership where we looked after each other and made sure the kids were always looked after and loved. There are times when it is difficult but there are times when we know whatever we are doing in life is for the good and is something we both want.”

In the same conversation, Nene called Madhuri a “supporting spouse”. He said, “Having a supporting spouse like this, who loves you and cares about you regardless of what happens, is critical to the journey. Both of us have very challenging careers.”

Madhuri Dixit tied the knot with Shriram Nene in October, 1999. They have two sons — Arin and Ryan Nene.
