Jackky Bhagnani on His ‘Situationship’ with Rakul Preet Singh
During the discussion, Jackky Bhagnani offered a fresh perspective on why he associates the term "situationship", usually used for casual, undefined romances, with his marriage. He suggested that the term represents a lack of pressure and a high level of openness."People want to be in a situationship because they don’t want any pressure," Jackky explained.
"Rakul and I are married, but we are like in a situationship... of course, we are exclusive to each other because that’s why we are married. But the most important thing is that I can talk to her about anything."He further noted that this honesty extends to his past, stating that Rakul knows "everything" about him, which removes the need to hide information or feel restricted. "If I want to spend time with friends, Rakul encourages it rather than questioning it," he added.
Independence Over Dependency
Rakul Preet Singh echoed these sentiments, emphasising that their marriage does not rely on traditional gender roles or emotional dependency. She highlighted that both are happy individuals who do not look to the other to solve personal unhappiness."We are not filling a void in each other’s lives," Rakul stated during the interview. "It’s not like you didn’t take me for a holiday, so I am unhappy. I can go on that holiday by myself. I think there are more important things in life to talk about."
She also addressed the historical trend of women "surrendering" their schedules to match their husbands, asserting that in their home, they are equals in every sense. "We are like best friends. We look forward to spending time with each other," she said.
