Shehnaaz Gill, currently making headlines for her new film, ‘Ik Kuddi,’ has once again captivated audiences with her refreshingly candid views. During recent promotions, the actress and now producer openly discussed her evolving perspective on marriage, signaling a strong sense of independence.
Gill firmly stated that marriage is not an obligation in today’s world. “If there’s no need, marriage is not an obligation,” she explained. “Many people marry, it’s their choice, but I don’t want to go that route yet.”
While asserting her current inclination, she also acknowledged life’s unpredictability. “Who knows what will happen in the future,” she added, maintaining a “never say never” attitude towards what lies ahead.
She emphasized that marriage is a profound life decision, extending beyond just two individuals. Gill highlighted the immense significance for a woman leaving her parental home to commit to a partner for life, stressing the need for careful consideration given the uncertainty of the other person’s true nature.
This personal philosophy finds resonance in her latest venture, ‘Ik Kuddi.’ Gill not only stars in the film but also marks her debut as a producer. The movie itself explores the journey of a young woman searching for a suitable life partner, a theme that reportedly mirrors aspects of Gill’s own experiences.
Directed and written by Amarjit Singh Saron, ‘Ik Kuddi’ premiered on October 31. This dual role as actor and producer further underscores her burgeoning influence and creative control within the industry.
Her journey to this independent stance is perhaps shaped by her past. Shehnaaz Gill rose to prominence during ‘Bigg Boss 13,’ where her endearing personality and undeniable chemistry with the late Sidharth Shukla captivated viewers. His untimely passing saw Gill display immense resilience, a period that reportedly taught her the paramount importance of self-love and inner strength.
Gill’s career began in the Punjabi music scene, where she first stepped into modeling with the 2015 music video ‘Shiv Di Kitaab.’ Her film debut followed in 2017 with ‘Sat Sri Akal England.’ She went on to feature in Punjabi hits like ‘Kala Shah Kala,’ ‘Daaka,’ and ‘Honsla Rakh’ before transitioning to Bollywood with Salman Khan’s ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’ and ‘Thank You For Coming.’ Most recently, she collaborated with Rajkummar Rao and Tripti Dimri on the song ‘Sajna Ve Sajna,’ continuing her diverse artistic endeavors.
