Farhan and Shibani got married in February 2022.
Shibani Dandekar said that going to therapy is like going to the gym and helps builds connections.
Farhan Akhtar and Shibani Dandekar tied the knot in February 2022 after dating for three years. The couple recently appeared on Rhea Chakraborty’s podcast and revealed that they started going to couples therapy soon after they got engaged and even made it to their appointment two days after their wedding.
Shibani said, “We started doing couples therapy I think about six months before or after we got engaged. It wasn’t one person convincing the other. It was like this is something that sounds like a smart thing to do.”
The actress even joked that they went to therapy a few days after their wedding. She said, “We got married on a Monday. Our signing was on a Monday and our next scheduled appointment was on a Wednesday. I remember we walked in and our therapist was like ‘Why are you guys here? You just got married like 24 hours ago?’”
She added, “It’s like going to the gym. You have to keep working on it. So, there are times when we go for sessions and it’s every couple of weeks and sometimes we go in there and we just look at each other and we’re like we have nothing to talk about. There are days where we go in and we were like we are going to need longer than an hour because let me just tell you some things about this guy right here. So, there are those days as well.”
She said, “There are times where we maybe get into a fight at home and we know we’ve got to see our therapist on Wednesday. So, we will just wait or I will try and wait. I want to get into it right now and he’ll be like ‘Let’s just wait and discuss it on Wednesday’.”
Meanwhile, on the work front, Farhan Akhtar will soon be seen in 120 Bahadur. He will play PVC Major Shaitan Singh in the film. He will also be directing Don 3, starring Ranveer Singh and Kiara Advani. He also plans to make Jee Le Zara with Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif.
