Veteran actor
Mukesh Khanna

Zeenat Aman
‘s recent comments encouraging youths to consider
live-in relationships
before marriage.
“In our culture and history, a thing like a live-in relationship has never been recognized. It has come from
western civilization
,”
Mukesh
told Dainik Jagran.
He further criticized Zeenat’s advocacy for live-in arrangements, attributing her views to a Western lifestyle that differs from Indian cultural norms.
“Whatever
Zeenat
Aman is talking about this, she has lived her life according to the western civilization from the very first day. What Zeenat Aman is talking about is not acceptable for a boy and a girl to get to know each other through marriage,” he stated.
Mukesh raised concerns about the potential consequences of such arrangements, suggesting that living together as husband and wife outside of marriage could lead to unforeseen challenges and moral dilemmas for individuals involved.
