Fahadh Faasil has always spoken fondly about his life with actor and wife Nazriya Nazim. In one such conversation from May 2024, which has been doing the rounds on social media, the Pushpa 2 actor shared that as a couple, they give each other “total freedom.” “Someone asked if Nazriya sang in Aavesham. I had no clue that she sang in Aavesham. She never told me that. Then I called her up, and she affirmed and said, ‘Not sang, just hummed something’. So, we give each other total freedom. We love our stuff. The way we function. She can do whatever she wants to with her life (just that) her life is also me now,” Faasil said in a conversation with Anupama Chopra.
The 42-year-old added, “She sees me as I am. She sees all my weaknesses and my insecurities. I am very fortunate that way. That makes a lot of difference to my life.”
Taking a leaf out of their companionship, we decode how a relationship flourishes when there is space and freedom.
Clinical psychologist Kamna Chhibber stressed that for individuals to grow and thrive, it is important for them to make their own choices and decisions.
“Sharing and suggesting as a support system is helpful. However, when it borders on being intrusive, commanding, or dominating, it can negatively impact the relationship. This happens due to the creation of negative interaction cycles and patterns in which individuals may find themselves withdrawing and not wanting to share or discuss as they may feel pushed to do what the other deems appropriate,” explained Chhibber.
According to Chhibber, it is important to maintain an equation in which everyone has adequate space to do things and make choices.
“Too much interference and interruption can increase irritability and lead to large conflicts in relationships. Questioning a person’s capability or adequacy to do things leads to a negative perception of the relationship, placing it in an unhealthy space,” said Chhibber.
