Nawazuddin Siddiqui and his wife Aaliyah’s marital troubles have been in the public eye and now, after many ups and downs when the couple has patched up, Nawazuddin has opened up about the institution of marriage. In a recent interview, Nawaz was asked if one should get married and the actor, after some hesitation said, “They shouldn’t.’

Talking to Ranveer Allahabadia on his YouTube channel, Nawazuddin said, “I want to say but people might misinterpret it… They shouldn’t (get married).” Elaborating on his opinion, he said, “What is the need to get married? If you are in love, it can prosper even without marriage. After marriage, people start taking each other for granted.”

He further said that after getting married, love ceases to exist between the partners. “If you are not married to each other, then you love each other more. But after marriage, that starts diminishing. Kids come in the picture, a lot of things happen. If you love someone and want to continue loving them, then don’t get married,” he said. Nawaz said that society conditions us to get married in our 20s, and so we tend to think that it might make us happy. “We think our love, wife will give us happiness but after a while, it is only your work that gives you joy,” he said.

After separating a few times, Nawaz and his wife Aaliyah got back together in March. Aaliyah had previously claimed that she filed for divorce a few years ago. The couple celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary together. And soon after, Aaliyah told ETimes that they have now moved past their differences. She said that the problems in their marriage started because of a third person but they have now sorted out the problems. She also mentioned that the primary reason for them getting back together was their kids. “Nawaz is very close to Shora and she was very disturbed after whatever happened. She couldn’t tolerate it,” she said.
