Aruna Irani tied the knot with filmmaker Kuku Kohli in 1990 after falling in love with him on the sets of a film. It was only recently that the veteran actress opened up about her marriage. Revealing why she never spoke about her personal life and her husband, the actress had said that the filmmaker didn’t tell her that he was married when they met. She had added that she’s opening up about the matter now because his first wife passed away a few months back.
Now, in an interview, Kuku opened up about the same. Commenting on the fact that many big actors have had two marriages, he said, “Dekho, ye saari cheezen to hoti rehti hain hamare industry mein. We work together, exchange ideas… (trails off).”
He further went on to share that he and Aruna live together. During his interaction with ETimes, the filmmaker was asked if his daughters have accepted the veteran actress as family. Replying to this, he wrote, “Aisa kabhi mauka hi nahi aaya.“
When asked that it must have been difficult for him to manage two homes, he said, “It is neither easy nor difficult; it depends how you manage.”
Meanwhile, in her interview with the publication, Aruna had said, “He even didn’t tell me that he was married when we met and that’s how I fell in love with him. So it didn’t look good to speak about our relationship as he was married already with a wife and daughters. Now I am talking about it because his first wife passed away a few months back.”
On the work front, Aruna made her debut in 1961 and has been a part of the film industry for over six decades. She is also a popular name in the television industry. Kuku, on the other hand, has been away from the Bollywood circuit for a long time.
