Actress and choreographer Abigail Pande, renowned for her roles in “Humse Hai Life” and her relationship with Sanam Johar, shared a decade-long journey on the latest episode of “Couple of Things,” hosted by Amrita Rao and RJ Anmol.
Delving into their relationship dynamics, Abigail and Sanam candidly addressed queries surrounding their marital plans. When questioned by Rao about the frequency of inquiries regarding their wedding, Abigail disclosed, “I believe this is the first time we’ve publicly revealed in this conversation that we are contemplating not getting married.”
Elaborating on their decision, Abigail reflected on their thoughts during the lockdown period, initially considering marriage as a natural progression. However, introspection prompted them to question the societal expectations associated with marriage versus their genuine desires. She expressed, “We realized that neither of us harbors a desire to wed. We were merely considering it because it seemed like the next societal step.”
Their enduring bond of over a decade fueled their confidence in this unconventional choice. Abigail highlighted the misconception that marriage alone validates the strength of a relationship, challenging the notion that opting out could lead to instability. She poignantly questioned, “If we fear that our relationship won’t withstand without marriage, does it imply our bond is weak? While many advocate that not marrying could lead to issues, is there a guarantee that problems won’t arise post-marriage? I don’t oppose marriage; it’s a wonderful institution.”
Abigail and Sanam’s narrative offers a refreshing perspective on love and commitment, debunking conventional norms while celebrating the authenticity of their relationship. As they navigate their path together, their story serves as a beacon of empowerment and authenticity in a world often governed by societal expectations.
