Actress Kirti Kulhari's career is starting to take off but the same could not be said about her married life. Couple months ago, she publicly announced that she has saperated from her husband Saahil Sehgal. They didnt go through with the legal formalities as she described the saperation as 'not on paper, but in life’. In a recent conversation with a radio host, Kirti talked about the idea and concept of marriage in our social structure.

She said, "I started feeling it through the marriage… I am not saying love is overrated or companionship is overrated. I am saying marriage, as a concept, is overrated. I can be in love with someone, I can have a beautiful relationship with someone and I can still choose to not be married to that person.”

The actress further stated, "This idea of marriage that exists in our society, this was my conditioning as well. But through the marriage, I realised… I said, ‘What is it about marriage as a concept that we make such a hawa (big deal) out of?’ Yes, marriage is important for the social structure and this and that, but I think beyond everything, a marriage needs to happen between two people. Their hearts need to be connected. I am sorry, but it is not about families coming together. It starts and ends with these two people, and that’s how it is for me. So, I can do everything I want to do, be a partner to someone, without the ‘marriage’ word being attached to it."
