Zarina Wahab has always been open about her unconventional inter-caste marriage to actor Aditya Pancholi who is five years younger to her. Their whirlwind romance began on a film set and in just 15 days decided to book their relationship permanent with marriage. In a recent interview Zarina shared the back story behind their rapid decision to wed. We got married within 15-20 days of meeting each other. We were working on Nari Hari film. This was the time I met him. He was a very good looking boy. He had a scene to shoot where he had to cry. He started to cry and didn’t stop at all. We even had to stop the shooting for that day. We sat in the same car when I held his hand and told him ‘don’t cry’. At that time he held my hand tighter and within 15 days we got married. Everybody said she has married such a good looking man he will leave her in a week. And look it’s been 38 years. Zarina said. Over the years Aditya Pancholis name has been linked to several women from industry. His relationship with actress Kangana Ranaut and another Pooja Bedi daughter of actor Kabir Bedi became one of the most talked about affairs in Bollywood. Addressing the constant speculations around her husbands involvement various industry figures Zarina said People think I am very stressed. They simply assume that ‘she must be unhappy because Aditya is seeing this and that girl’ nobody says ‘Yeh ladki dekh rahi hai inko’. Zarina believes holding only married man accountable in the relationship is unfair. She said That’s wrong. This is all a phase which comes and goes. I never take these phases seriously as I know he will never get serious with anyone else as he loves me a lot. When asked if these speculations ever took a toll on her emotional health she responded with utmost honesty I used to feel a little bad when I used to read affair rumours but then I also laughed at them. I don’t care what he does outside but when he enters the house he is an excellent father and husband. And that’s all that matters to me. I would have felt bad if only he brought his affairs home. She also made it very clear that she is not solely depend upon her husband regarding any aspect. I am very independent. Even if I had to live alone I have money and properties in my name but in reality I never thought of leaving him. We never discussed this. Zarina and Aditya tied the knot in 1986. They are parents to actor Sooraj Pancholi and daughter Sana Pancholi.
