00:00What's your idea of a perfect wedding that you've seen other celebrities do?
00:06Is it the royal wedding?
00:07Is it Priyanka Chopra and Mick Jonas' engagement, which is so nice and simple?
00:11No wedding is always the best wedding.
00:15He's plugging your movie.
00:16That's a very shameless plug for your movie.
00:18No, no, it's not.
00:19Come on.
00:20It's just that, you know, if you don't get married, there's no load at all.
00:25So is that what you're telling everybody?
00:27Just be single, be happy?
00:28Pop the record.
00:29You're on record.
00:30You're on camera.
00:31Get married, people.
00:32Get married.
00:33The best way.
00:34And find out on your own.
00:35Exactly.
00:36Find out on your own.
00:37Right.
00:38And have you ever thought about what's your idea?
00:39I know you like a simple wedding, but if you had a choice between a destination wedding
00:43or a beach wedding or perhaps a religious ceremony, it's at all for the choice.
00:47Maybe a simple, even if it's a destination wedding, it would not have more than 50 people,
00:51which includes me and my dhoola's people.
00:54So dhoola is going to be there.
00:56Okay.
00:57Of course.
00:58The focus is not just on her that day.
01:01How about you?
01:03I've been married since 14 years now.
01:06So my wedding was very simple, to be very honest.
01:09But then there was one thing that I invited 500 people and there were 1,300 people in
01:14my wedding.
01:15Oh.
01:16And there was no food then.
01:17And my father was running around, just, you know, just trying to get some food from somewhere.
01:21And somehow we managed to get that.
01:23You know, but there was this pressure, to be very honest.
01:26So I would personally want the two people who are getting married, they should, you
01:29know, come to some terms that they just go somewhere and, you know, get married on their
01:34own and just come back.
01:35And that's about it.
01:36Or maybe spend that money on your honeymoon instead of entertaining so many people who
01:40don't even mean to you that much.
01:42You never came to my wedding.
01:43You should give me an envelope right now.
01:44Oh.
01:45For what?
01:46For money.
01:47Salami.
01:48We call it salami.
01:49Oh, you come for what?
01:50You didn't come to my wedding.
01:51So you would have given me money had I attended your wedding?
01:53No, you would have to give me money.
01:55I thought I'm getting it.
01:57Which is salami.
01:58Oh, I see.
01:59Oh my God.
02:00That's what you call it.
02:01Oh, I see.
02:02As kind of a gift kind of thing.
02:03Oh my God.
02:04That's a lot of pressure.
02:05Not kind of a gift.
02:06It is a gift.
02:07You have to give.
02:08It's a compulsory thing.
02:09Oh, it's more, okay, a cultural thing.
02:10And we are Sindhis, you know, so we have this register.
02:11Who give what?
02:12The mamus and uncles kind of give this, sat outside the tent and they write who gave how
02:17much money and all that.
02:18Yeah.
02:19So it's a ritual.
02:20Then we are going to their wedding.
02:21So we'll pay them back.
02:22So it's also an exercise in economics, if you look at it.
02:24It's actually a very good thing to be very honest.
02:26It's a good exercise.
02:27But that's out of proportion, you know, when we...
02:29You have to remember who is this one.
02:31What's one, you know, celebrity couple that you see, you feel have done it right?
02:36Like be it the wedding, the marriage or the way they have conducted themselves.
02:41I think the one that Ranveer and Deepika are about to have, I think that will be something
02:46really nice.
02:47Really?
02:48You're looking forward to it.
02:49How about you?
02:50Do you ever follow celebrity couples?
02:51I don't know.
02:52I don't think celebrities should get married to each other.
02:56Even if they're in love?
02:59I don't think they are.
03:02Why would you say that though?
03:04Sometimes doctors, marrying doctors makes so much sense.
03:06You just know the pressures.
03:07It doesn't.
03:08Everybody is sick at the moment, all the time.
03:09Long hours?
03:10Yeah.
03:11Oh my God.
03:12Okay.
03:13What do you think about couples who are, you know, who are forced to relent to family pressures?
03:17Because that's the reality of most women and men.
03:20What do you have to say to them?
03:21I think we actually went there and made a film about it.
03:24This is what this is all about.
03:26This is what it's all about actually.
03:28Okay.
03:29Brilliant.
03:30And your favourite honeymoon destination?
03:31I haven't been on one.
03:34Yeah.
03:35The one on your head.
03:36Like I would go to Maldives.
03:37On my head?
03:38Maybe South Africa.
03:39Cape Town?
03:40And Kruger National Park later on.
03:43Oh, Kruger National Park.
03:44Always, yeah.
03:45A bit of adventure.
03:46Well, when I got married, I went to this hill station called Murree in Pakistan.
03:50It's the cheapest that one can get.
03:52And then later we travelled the world.
03:55But then I think Rihanna was one place that's very romantic.
03:58Rihanna and Prague probably.
04:00Fantastic.
04:01Last question.
04:0214 years of marriage.
04:03You are the expert clearly.
04:04So, what is your advice to all of those who are about to get married this year?
04:08And the couples.
04:09Don't get married.
04:11You'll regret it later on.
04:13I've said it a third time.
04:15Such an anti-love brigade we have here.
04:17Ask my wife about that.
04:19She has to be in this conversation because you know what, she's not coming off.
04:24She might be backing him up.
04:26Yeah, she must be watching this and thinking, excuse me?
04:28She's always watching.
04:29Okay.
04:30Brilliant, brilliant.
