The actress seems surprised by her own decision to marry. "I always felt the only reason to get married is to have children," she says, adding, "We've been very lucky to have very supportive parents. My mother is a very liberal wife and mother. So there was no peer pressure to marry."

While confident about her marriage - she cites her parents' successful 44-year-strong marriage, she isn't starry-eyed. "There is no perfect relationship. You have to work around the dissatisfaction. I am sure even my parents had their problems. But they must have worked on their marriage. And they made it work," she shares.

She knows she has to work hard on her marriage . "To keep a relationship going in today's day and age is very difficult. I'd like to think if my relationship has worked for five years, it's permanent. We are all so self-centred. So am I. To give that much to a relationship is very difficult."

She adds, "My happiness always came first. But now to make Kunal happy makes me happier."

Nonetheless, there are doubts. "I don't know how much I can sacrifice for anyone else. I always said we should not take the relationship for granted. We need to continue to communicate our feelings about one another, no matter what its repercussions. Only an honest approach can keep a relationship going.".

She gives her husband a lot of credit for making her feel secure in their relationship. "Kunal has a lot of integrity, fervour and ambition. What I love the most about him is his consistency. In five years, he has never wavered in his thoughts and beliefs."

The couple has no immediate plans of having children, yet.
