In today’s episode of Figuring Out, we have Vidya Balan in conversation with Raj Shamani.
She is an actress who has not worked in a template but always did movies that were unique and different from one another. From Mission Mangal to Dirty Picture, she has nailed every movie that she has done. Our conversation was one of the most heartwarming conversations on love we had on our podcast.
In this episode, we talked about her equation with her husband Siddharth Roy Kapoor, and how she never saw herself getting married before meeting him and her perspective on getting married. We then talked about two types of people in relationships and how it is related to the people we attract or are attracted to and the theory of the Boat and the Anchor. She then shared how her equation has evolved with Siddhart over the years and how she practices self-love and self-acceptance and maintains her individuality being in a marriage.
We then talked about why people cheat and this was the most interesting part in our conversation because we figured out so many reasons that most of us haven’t thought about. Then I shared the Sofa theory in relationships and how men and women have different mindsets in relationships. She then shared her take on situationships and shared about her new movie which is about relationships. We ended our conversation with a romantic story of how he realised that Siddhart was the one for her. For more such episodes don’t forget to subscribe to our channel.
