Ratna Pathak in a recent interview at the 77th edition of Cannes Film Festival opened up that one thing that she hasn’t seen in others, which is great about husband Naseeruddin Shah but also something hard to live with.
In a conversation with Brut, when asked about what she loves, hate and tolerate about Naseeruddin Shah, Ratna who accompanied her husband Naseeruddin at Cannes for the screening of his 1976 film Manthan, giggled and answered, “Oh boy! All in one? Love, hate, tolerate altogether? or can it be different?”
“I love his deep involvement with acting. I can love, hate and tolerate, all three in that. Largely, love because it’s a very special feature. Naseer cannot be bothered with anything except for performance and working towards the performance. It’s an attitude that I haven’t seen in others. I am making this statement after giving it some thought. I haven’t seen this focus in others. But, it’s hard also to live with.” She continued.
The couple have been married for over 42 years. They first met during the rehearsal of Satyadev Dubey’s play Sambhog se Sanyas Tak n 1975. In an interview with NDTV Naseeruddin shared while talking about his love story with Ratna, “All great romances of theatres begin at a rehearsal.” According to the actor, their first meeting happened at a juice stall outside the National College in Mumbai, and for him “sparks flew right away”. However, Ratna didn’t pay attention to him, eventually falling for him as they spent more time together.
Earlier Ratna told Indianexpress while talking about her relationship, “The play was very significantly titled Sambhog se Sanyas Tak. That is the story of our life. Bas sanyaas lena baaki hai.” After dating for over 6 years, the couple tied a knot in 1982, and later welcomed two sons, Vivaan and Imaad Shah respectively. Naseeruddin was earlier married to Surekha Sikri’s sister Manara Sikri also known as Parveen Murad with whom he has a daughter Heeba Shah making his wedding with Ratna his second marriage.
