“Jaya is a very intelligent womanShe told me, she says, ‘It is one of the most difficult things to do in life, is to marry an actor.’ I wouldn’t say actor ki fitrat hai, but unfortunately, you’re always put in situations where you are hanging with very interesting people, very good-looking people.” Arshad said Jaya had also asked whether he and Maria were prepared for the realities that came with his profession.
“Jaya ji actually said, when Maria and I were getting married, that one of the most difficult things to do in life is to marry an actorShe told us, ‘Are you ready for it?’ That’s the reason why, because your job makes you do things that are not normal for a normal coupleSo then you have to cross that barrier and still be with that personSo your love has to be beyond normal people’s love and attention.”
