Aditya Roy Kapur, Sara Ali Khan, Ali Fazal, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Pankaj Tripathi, Konkona Sen Sharma, Anupam Kher, Neena Gupta, producer Bhushan Kumar and director Anurag Basu attended the trailer launch of their film Metro…In Dino at an auditorium in Mumbai. Anupam Kher took the cake as he went down memory lane and shared his views on modern relationship terms.
Metro…In Dino trailer launch: Anupam Kher explains why he addressed his father as ‘uncle’ while dating a girl; SLAMS concept of benching and f**k buddies: “Aisa kaise ho sakta hai?”
Anupam Kher began by saying, “I come from a small town where it used to take 7-8 months just to see someone. This is the time when I was in college. Ungli agar chhoo jaaye toh lagta tha ki bas kamaal ho gaya! There was a Lover’s Lane in Shimla. If you are lucky to walk from that lane, it means that the girl is committing to you and that she’s in love with you.”
He added, “There was a girl that I used to like a lot. One day, I asked her, ‘Lover’s Lane mein chalein?’. She said, ‘Agle mahine’. 3-4 months passed.”
Anupam Kher raised laughs as he revealed, “We were walking on the lane at 3-4 pm, when it used to be fairly empty. I was very happy and occasionally, our hands would touch. Suddenly I saw my father coming from the opposite direction! I wondered, ‘What is my father doing here at 3 pm’. He kept coming closer. I thought, ‘If I told this girl that my father is coming, toh kissa khatam ho jaayega‘. Hence, when he came very close, I told him, ‘Namaste uncle’! He replied, ‘Beta, how is uncle? Give him my regards!'”
Anupam Kher continued, “What I am trying to say is that it used to take a lot of time but it used to also have a long shelf life. My parents were married for 60 years. They obviously fell in love with each other, again and again, regardless of the situation. Today, the independence of individuals is very important in a relationship. I am not an authority on this topic but I feel that ladka aur ladki ko apni independence bahut important lagti hai. Commitment is not only about getting married to somebody. Fir woh independence karne ki acting shuru karte hai. As a result, pyaar hone ka time hi nahin milta hai. Pyaar hota hi nahin hai, in my opinion.”
Anupam Kher further stated, “I am not saying that people now don’t fall in love. Now I hear terms like benching and all…hadd! In our time, all this never existed.”
He also said, “I have heard of many other terms. There are also so-and-so buddies. Iska kya matlab hai? Aisa kaise ho sakta hai?”
Metro…In Dino releases in cinemas on July 4.
