For those who don’t know, Smriti had found love in her friend Mona Irani’s ex-husband, Zubin Irani. She tied the knot with him in the year 2001. In an interview, she had shared, “I married Zubin because I needed him. I was consulting him, talking to him and meeting him every day. So we said why not marry and be best friends as well as a married couple. Both my parents and his agreed to our marriage and blessed us. I would never dream of marrying against the wishes of my parents because I believe strongly that hurting parents causes unhappiness and destruction for the couple.” (Also Read: Kartik Aaryan Says He Would Like To Live In With Sara Ali Khan, And His Reason Is Just Perfect)
In a throwback interview with The Telegraph, Smriti talked about her husband and how he has been a constant source of support for her. She had said, “From Zubin I learnt patience, forgiveness. I learnt to be single-minded in my determination. When I had my first child, I wanted to give up working. He said, ‘Have I given up because I have had a child? Why should you?’ Every woman should be lucky enough to marry a man like Zubin. I don’t know why I gloat about it, but I am lucky. My stability-taking what comes my way with a pinch of salt and a smile-comes from my husband.”
In another throwback interview with an online portal, Rediff.com, Smriti shared a belief on a happy home and self-respect. She had stated, “Home is where the heart is, and so is family. I think in today's day and age, it doesn't matter whether your family is joint or nuclear. What matters is how important are relationships for you, and to what length would you go to maintain them. I think the idea is to give respect to your elders and those who are younger than you, but to stand your ground firmly when it comes to issues close to your heart. Jhukne se insaan chhota nahin hota, lekin logon ko bhi saavdhani barakhni chaahiye that humility and respect need not necessarily mean weakness. So love your mother-in-law, but never compromise on self-respect!” (Don't Miss: Taimur Ali Khan Is All Smiles For The Paparazzi As He Gives His Daily Dose Of Cuteness)
